AMD Radeon 820M vs AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The most striking observation in the database is the absence of shared benchmark scores. The AMD Radeon 820M has no recorded benchmark entries, while the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP has two: a Geekbench OpenCL score of 88183 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 39476. The RX 9060 XT LP’s average benchmark score is 63830, which places it in the 89th percentile of all GPUs tracked. The 820M, by contrast, sits at the 50th percentile in the database with an average benchmark score of zero.

Interpreting the RX 9060 XT LP’s position against its nearest rivals clarifies its standing. The database lists the NVIDIA CMP 30HX with an average score of 63842, which is a 0% difference. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M follows at 63775, a 0.1% gap. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 scores 63693, a 0.2% difference. The AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100 is the only listed rival ahead, at 64212, representing a -0.6% delta for the RX 9060 XT LP. These four rivals are all within a single percentage point of the RX 9060 XT LP, meaning the card slots into a tightly packed performance cluster rather than standing alone at the top.

For the 820M, there is no such comparison framework. With no benchmarks in the database, the head-to-head picture is one of data absence. The 820M does not appear in any measured workload, whereas the RX 9060 XT LP delivers a clear OpenCL advantage in raw compute tasks. The OpenCL score of 88183 is more than double its Vulkan score of 39476, which indicates that the architecture’s compute-focused performance in OpenCL is substantially stronger than its graphics-oriented Vulkan path. This divergence matters for any analysis of the two cards, because the 820M’s capabilities cannot be quantified in the same terms.

The database also records that the RX 9060 XT LP wins both available head-to-head benchmark slots, with zero wins for the 820M. No benchmark result exists to suggest otherwise. The 820M’s 50th percentile standing is derived from the full GPU distribution, but with no actual score, that percentile reflects a placeholder status rather than measured performance. The RX 9060 XT LP’s 89th percentile is anchored by real data.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs belong to different architectural generations. The AMD Radeon 820M uses RDNA 3.5 and is part of the Navi III IGP generation, specifically from the Strix Point Mobile family. Its chip is called Krackan Point 2. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP uses RDNA 4.0 and belongs to the Navi IV generation within the Radeon RX 9000 series, built around the Navi 44 chip.

Both are manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC, so the underlying process node is identical. The similarity ends there. The RX 9060 XT LP has a transistor count of 29,700 million and a die size of 199 mm², yielding a transistor density of 149.2M per mm². The 820M’s transistor count and die size are listed as unknown in the database, so no direct physical comparison is possible.

The execution resources differ by an order of magnitude. The 820M contains 128 shading units, 8 texture mapping units, 4 render output units, and 2 ray tracing cores. The RX 9060 XT LP contains 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 render output units, and 32 ray tracing cores. Every one of these counts is sixteen times higher on the RX 9060 XT LP except for the shading units, which are sixteen times higher as well (128 multiplied by 16 equals 2048). The ray tracing core count is also sixteen times higher, moving from 2 to 32.

Compute throughput reflects this scale. The 820M delivers 716.8 GFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16, at a 1:1 ratio. The RX 9060 XT LP delivers 24.99 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16, also at a 1:1 ratio. Texture rate on the 820M is 22.40 GTexel/s, while the RX 9060 XT LP reaches 390.4 GTexel/s. Pixel rate on the 820M is 11.20 GPixel/s, versus 195.2 GPixel/s on the RX 9060 XT LP.

The RX 9060 XT LP’s predecessor is listed as Navi III, while the 820M’s predecessor is Navi II IGP. The 820M’s generation is labeled Navi III IGP, which means the 820M comes from the generation that the RX 9060 XT LP succeeds. Both cards are marked as Active in production status.

Specification Differences

The memory subsystem is a major differentiator. The AMD Radeon 820M uses system shared memory, with a system shared bus width and system dependent bandwidth. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP has 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128 bit bus, with a bandwidth of 322.3 GB/s. The memory clock on the RX 9060 XT LP is listed as 2518 MHz, which translates to 20.1 Gbps effective.

Power and physical design differ substantially. The 820M has a TDP of 15 W, occupies an IGP slot width, and uses no power connectors. The RX 9060 XT LP has a TDP of 140 W, is a dual-slot card, and requires a single 8-pin power connector. The suggested PSU for the RX 9060 XT LP is 300 W; the 820M has no suggested PSU listed.

The bus interface differs as well. The 820M uses PCIe 4.0 x8, while the RX 9060 XT LP uses PCIe 5.0 x16. Display outputs also diverge: the 820M’s outputs are listed as portable device dependent, whereas the RX 9060 XT LP provides one HDMI 2.1b port and two DisplayPort 2.1a ports.

Clock speeds show the RX 9060 XT LP running higher across the board. The 820M has a base clock of 400 MHz and a boost clock of 2800 MHz. The RX 9060 XT LP has a base clock of 1380 MHz, a game clock of 2450 MHz, and a boost clock of 3050 MHz.

Release dates place the 820M earlier. The 820M was released on 2025-02-28, while the RX 9060 XT LP was released on 2025-12-16. Neither card has a launch MSRP recorded in the database. The 820M has no series designation, while the RX 9060 XT LP belongs to the Radeon RX 9000 series.

The Verdict

The database presents a clear hierarchy, but only one side of it is backed by measured data. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP is a fully characterized product: it has benchmark scores, a percentile ranking of 89, and a set of nearest rivals all within one percentage point of its average score of 63830. Its 16 GB of GDDR6 memory, 322.3 GB/s bandwidth, 2048 shading units, and 24.99 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput place it firmly in the discrete desktop GPU segment, despite the low-profile LP designation in its name.

The AMD Radeon 820M is an integrated graphics solution. Its system shared memory, 15 W TDP, IGP slot width, and portable device dependent outputs confirm its role inside a mobile processor rather than as a standalone card. The 128 shading units and 716.8 GFLOPS of FP32 compute are consistent with an entry-level integrated part. The lack of any benchmark record means the database cannot assign it a measured performance tier beyond the neutral 50th percentile placeholder.

For users selecting between these two, the data supports a straightforward split. The RX 9060 XT LP is the choice for any workload requiring dedicated graphics memory, high bandwidth, or the compute throughput indicated by its OpenCL score of 88183. The 820M is the choice only when the requirement is an integrated GPU with minimal power draw and no external power connector. The 16x difference in shading units, texture mapping units, render output units, and ray tracing cores between the two is consistent with the performance gap implied by their respective percentiles.

The nearest rival data for the RX 9060 XT LP shows that it does not dominate its class. The NVIDIA CMP 30HX, AMD Radeon RX 7600M, and AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 are all effectively tied with it, and the AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100 sits slightly ahead. The RX 9060 XT LP is therefore a competitive but not class-leading card in its measured performance band. The 820M has no such context, which limits any verdict to the characteristics confirmed in the database: it is a low-power integrated GPU from the Navi III IGP generation, with no recorded benchmark performance.
