AMD Radeon 860M vs Intel Data Center GPU Max 1350 Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon 860M and Intel Data Center GPU Max 1350 occupy entirely different corners of the GPU landscape, and the recorded data reflects that split clearly. The Radeon 860M is an integrated graphics processor built for mobile systems, with benchmark results placing it in the 72nd percentile among all GPUs. Its average benchmark score of 26,401 comes from two recorded tests: 22,759 in Geekbench OpenCL and 30,043 in Geekbench Vulkan. The Vulkan result is notably stronger, suggesting the architecture handles modern graphics APIs with particular efficiency.

The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1350, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. Its percentile ranking sits at 50, and its average benchmark score is listed as 0. This absence of data does not indicate poor performance; rather, it reflects the product's positioning as a compute-oriented accelerator with no display outputs and no Vulkan API support listed. The database simply has no standard graphics benchmarks recorded for this unit, which means direct head-to-head comparisons cannot be established from measured results.

Where the Radeon 860M wins is in accessibility and conventional graphics workloads. It is an IGP with PCIe 4.0 x8 connectivity, designed to output to portable device displays, and it supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) and Vulkan 1.4. These features make it a functional graphics solution for everyday rendering tasks. The Intel part wins in raw compute scale: 14,336 shading units, 896 texture mapping units, 112 ray tracing cores, and 44.44 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput. The data shows two products built for different jobs, with the Radeon delivering measurable graphics performance and the Intel accelerator providing massive parallel compute resources without any display capability.

Architecture Differences

The architectural gap between these two GPUs is fundamental. The Radeon 860M uses AMD's RDNA 3.5 architecture, fabricated on a 4 nm TSMC process, and belongs to the Navi III IGP generation under the Krackan Point chip family. It is an integrated part with a 15 W TDP, sharing system memory, and operating with a base clock of 600 MHz and a boost clock of 3000 MHz.

The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1350 uses Intel's Generation 12.5 architecture, built on Ponte Vecchio silicon. It is fabricated on Intel's 10 nm process with a massive die size of 1280 mm² and 100,000 million transistors, yielding a transistor density of 78.1 million per mm². The Radeon's transistor count and die size are listed as unknown, so no direct comparison is possible on those metrics, but the Intel part's physical scale is clearly in a different class.

Memory architecture diverges sharply. The Radeon 860M uses system shared memory with system dependent bandwidth, a typical arrangement for integrated graphics. The Intel accelerator carries 96 GB of HBM2e memory on an 8192-bit bus, delivering 2.46 TB/s of bandwidth. Memory clocks are listed at 1200 MHz with 2.4 Gbps effective data rate. The Radeon's memory clock is also listed as system shared, meaning it relies entirely on the host system's memory subsystem.

The Intel part has no ROPs, which explains its 0 MPixel/s pixel rate, while the Radeon has 16 ROPs producing 48.00 GPixel/s. Texture rates tell a similar story: the Intel accelerator reaches 1,388.8 GTexel/s from its 896 TMUs, while the Radeon produces 96.00 GTexel/s from 32 TMUs. FP16 performance mirrors FP32 at a 1:1 ratio on both parts, with the Intel accelerator reaching 44.44 TFLOPS in both precisions and the Radeon hitting 3.072 TFLOPS in both.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Direct comparison is limited because the database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries and the Intel part has no recorded scores. However, the Radeon 860M's nearest rivals provide context for its standing. The Radeon's average score of 26,401 sits within 0.1% of the NVIDIA GeForce MX550, which averages 26,421. The Radeon is 0.3% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060, which averages 26,331. Against the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary, the Radeon trails by 0.6% (that part averages 26,553), and against the NVIDIA RTX A4000, it trails by 1.1% (26,683 average).

These figures place the Radeon 860M in a tight performance cluster with dedicated mobile and workstation GPUs from NVIDIA. The margin between the best and worst of these four rivals is only 1.4%, indicating that the integrated Radeon competes squarely with entry-level discrete solutions. Its Geekbench Vulkan score of 30,043 is particularly strong, suggesting that in Vulkan-specific workloads, the Radeon may punch above its average standing.

For the Intel Data Center GPU Max 1350, the absence of benchmark data means no wins can be quantified. The FP32 throughput of 44.44 TFLOPS is roughly 14.5 times the Radeon's 3.072 TFLOPS, but this is a specification comparison, not a measured benchmark result. The database records no wins for either product in head-to-head tests, and both wins counters sit at 0.

Specification Differences

The two products differ in nearly every measurable specification category. The Radeon 860M uses a 4 nm TSMC process, while the Intel part uses Intel's 10 nm process. The Radeon's transistor count and die size are unknown; the Intel part lists 100,000 million transistors on a 1280 mm² die.

Clock speeds differ substantially. The Radeon runs at 600 MHz base and 3000 MHz boost. The Intel accelerator runs at 750 MHz base and 1550 MHz boost, with memory clocked at 1200 MHz. The Radeon's memory clock is system shared.

Memory configurations could hardly be more different. The Radeon uses system shared memory with system dependent bandwidth. The Intel part has 96 GB of HBM2e on an 8192-bit bus with 2.46 TB/s bandwidth.

Compute resources: the Radeon has 512 shading units, 32 TMUs, 16 ROPs, and 8 ray tracing cores. The Intel part has 14,336 shading units, 896 TMUs, 0 ROPs, and 112 ray tracing cores. Neither product lists tensor cores.

Performance rates: the Radeon produces 48.00 GPixel/s and 96.00 GTexel/s, with 3.072 TFLOPS in both FP32 and FP16. The Intel part produces 0 MPixel/s and 1,388.8 GTexel/s, with 44.44 TFLOPS in both FP32 and FP16.

Power and physical specifications: the Radeon is a 15 W IGP with no power connectors and PCIe 4.0 x8. The Intel part is a 450 W OAM Module with a suggested PSU of 850 W and PCIe 5.0 x16. Display outputs: the Radeon is portable device dependent; the Intel part has no outputs.

API support: the Radeon supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The Intel part supports DirectX 12 (12_1) and OpenGL 4.6, with no Vulkan listed.

Release dates: the Radeon launched on 2025-02-28, while the Intel part launched on 2023-01-09. The Intel part has a successor listed as H3C Graphics; the Radeon's predecessor is Navi II IGP with no successor listed.
