AMD Radeon 860M vs AMD Radeon PRO V710 Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data splits sharply between these two AMD parts. The AMD Radeon PRO V710 wins the only direct head-to-head comparison recorded in the database, taking the Geekbench OpenCL test with a score of 116,460 against the 860M's 22,759, a delta of 80.5 percent in favor of the PRO card. That is the sole benchmark where both products have matching results, so the use-case split hinges on what each part is designed for rather than a broad series of wins.

The AMD Radeon 860M is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) built into the Krackan Point chip. It does not win any head-to-head tests because there is no second matching benchmark in the database. Its recorded results include a Geekbench Vulkan score of 30,043 and a Geekbench OpenCL score of 22,759, giving it an average benchmark score of 26,401. That places it at the 72nd percentile of all GPUs in the database, meaning it sits above the median but well below the top tier. Its nearest rivals in the database are the NVIDIA GeForce MX550 at 26,421 average score (0.1 percent behind the 860M), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 at 26,331 (0.3 percent ahead of the 860M), the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary at 26,553 (0.6 percent behind), and the NVIDIA RTX A4000 at 26,683 (1.1 percent behind). These are all relatively close scores, indicating the 860M lands in a cluster of mid-range performers.

The AMD Radeon PRO V710, by contrast, is a discrete workstation card with no display outputs. Its average benchmark score is 58,657, which is more than double the 860M's average. It sits at the 88th percentile of all GPUs, a full 16 percentage points higher than the 860M. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA P102-100 at 58,528 average score (0.2 percent behind the PRO V710), the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT at 58,392 (0.5 percent behind), the Intel Arc A570M at 58,239 (0.7 percent behind), and the AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM at 58,085 (1 percent behind). The PRO V710 leads all four of those rivals, though by small margins. The only other benchmark recorded for the PRO V710 is 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, where it scores 853.

The practical split is clear: the 860M serves portable devices where the display output is dependent on the host system, while the PRO V710 serves compute-heavy workstation tasks without any display connection. The 860M wins in the sense of being a low-power integrated solution for light workloads, while the PRO V710 wins decisively in raw compute performance.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different points in AMD's RDNA family. The Radeon 860M uses RDNA 3.5 architecture on a 4 nm process node from TSMC, belonging to the Navi III IGP generation for Strix Point Mobile. The Radeon PRO V710 uses RDNA 3.0 architecture on a 5 nm TSMC node, belonging to the Radeon Pro Navi (Navi III Series) generation. Both are built by TSMC, but the process nodes differ, with the 860M on the smaller 4 nm node and the PRO V710 on the larger 5 nm node.

The transistor counts diverge dramatically. The 860M's transistor count is listed as unknown in the database, while the PRO V710 carries 28,100 million transistors on a 346 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 81.2 million transistors per square millimeter. The 860M's die size is also unknown, so no direct density comparison is possible. What the data does show is that the PRO V710 is a large, discrete GPU die, whereas the 860M is an integrated part sharing a chip with other components.

Core counts differ substantially. The 860M has 512 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, 16 raster operation units, and 8 ray tracing cores. The PRO V710 has 3,456 shading units, 216 TMUs, 96 ROPs, and 54 ray tracing cores. That is a 6.75x difference in shading units, a 6.75x difference in TMUs, a 6x difference in ROPs, and a 6.75x difference in ray tracing cores. Neither part has tensor cores listed.

Clock behavior also differs. The 860M has a base clock of 600 MHz and a boost clock of 3000 MHz. The PRO V710 has a base clock of 1900 MHz and a boost clock of 2000 MHz. The 860M's boost clock is 1000 MHz higher than the PRO V710's, but the PRO V710 compensates with far more cores. The memory systems are entirely different: the 860M uses system shared memory with system dependent bandwidth, while the PRO V710 uses 28 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 224 bit bus with 504.0 GB/s bandwidth and a memory clock of 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective).

Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The 860M uses a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface, while the PRO V710 uses PCIe 4.0 x16. The 860M has no power connectors and a 15 W TDP, while the PRO V710 requires a single 8-pin power connector, has a 158 W TDP, and suggests a 450 W power supply.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only direct comparison available in the database is the Geekbench OpenCL test. The Radeon PRO V710 scores 116,460, while the Radeon 860M scores 22,759. The delta is 80.5 percent in favor of the PRO V710, meaning the 860M delivers only about a fifth of the PRO V710's compute performance in this workload. This is a massive gap, consistent with the difference in shading units (3,456 vs 512) and memory bandwidth (504.0 GB/s vs system dependent).

To put the 860M's score in context, its nearest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce MX550 at 26,421 average score, which is 0.1 percent ahead of the 860M's 26,401 average. The 860M also sits 0.3 percent behind the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 in average score. These are tight margins, suggesting the 860M performs like a modest discrete mobile GPU despite being integrated.

The PRO V710's 116,460 OpenCL score dwarfs the 860M's 22,759. In the PRO V710's own neighborhood, its nearest rival is the NVIDIA P102-100 at 58,528 average score, which the PRO V710 leads by 0.2 percent. The PRO V710 also leads the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT by 0.5 percent, the Intel Arc A570M by 0.7 percent, and the AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM by 1 percent. Those are all close comparisons, showing the PRO V710 is competitive with high-end consumer and prosumer GPUs.

The 860M's Vulkan score of 30,043 is higher than its OpenCL score of 22,759, but there is no Vulkan result for the PRO V710 in the database, so no cross-API comparison is possible. The PRO V710's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 853 has no corresponding 860M result either.

The Verdict

The data points to two entirely different roles. The AMD Radeon 860M is an integrated solution for portable devices, with a 15 W TDP, no power connectors, and display outputs dependent on the host device. Its performance cluster, around 26,401 average score with rivals like the GeForce MX550 and RTX 5060 within about a percent, suits light gaming and general graphics. It is not a compute powerhouse; its 3.072 TFLOPS FP32 and 96.00 GTexel/s texture rate reflect its 512 shading units and 32 TMUs.

The AMD Radeon PRO V710 is a discrete workstation card with no display outputs, aimed squarely at compute tasks. Its 27.65 TFLOPS FP32, 432.0 GTexel/s texture rate, and 504.0 GB/s memory bandwidth give it a 80.5 percent OpenCL lead over the 860M. Its 28 GB of GDDR6 memory and 224 bit bus are far beyond anything the 860M can access through system shared memory. The PRO V710's 88th percentile ranking and average score of 58,657 place it alongside the RX 6950 XT and above the P102-100, making it a credible high-end compute option despite its modest boost clock of 2000 MHz.

The 860M's advantage is efficiency and integration: 4 nm process, 15 W TDP, and a boost clock of 3000 MHz. The PRO V710's advantage is brute capability: 6.75x more shading units, 6x more ROPs, and a 10.5x higher pixel rate. Anyone needing compute density should pick the PRO V710. Anyone needing a low-power integrated GPU for a portable device should pick the 860M. The recorded benchmarks offer no overlap where the 860M beats the PRO V710, and the PRO V710's single head-to-head win is decisive. The verdict from the data is unambiguous: the PRO V710 for compute, the 860M for integrated portability.
