Analysis: AMD Radeon R7 M350 vs NVIDIA T600

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains two head-to-head comparisons between the NVIDIA T600 and the AMD Radeon R7 M350, and the results are decisively one-sided. In Geekbench OpenCL, the NVIDIA T600 records a score of 27875 against the AMD Radeon R7 M350's 6991. That is a delta of 298.7% in favor of the T600, meaning the NVIDIA part delivers roughly four times the compute throughput in this particular workload. The gap is even larger in Geekbench Vulkan: the T600 scores 25580, while the R7 M350 manages only 5662, a delta of 351.8%. In both recorded tests, the winner is the NVIDIA T600, and the AMD part fails to take a single head-to-head benchmark.

These are not marginal differences. A 298.7% lead in OpenCL and a 351.8% lead in Vulkan indicate that the T600 operates in a different performance class entirely. The R7 M350's scores place it in the 36th percentile of all GPUs in the database, while the T600 sits at the 39th percentile. That percentile gap understates the head-to-head margin, because the percentile ranking includes a broader population of parts across many generations and market segments. Within this direct comparison, the T600 is overwhelmingly faster.

Looking at the broader benchmark suite for the T600, its average benchmark score is 7035, while the R7 M350's average is 6327. The T600's nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (average score 7157, delta -1.7%), the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680M (7023, delta 0.2%), and the AMD Radeon R5 M240 (6975, delta 0.9%). The R7 M350's nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon Pro WX 4100 (6330, delta 0%), the NVIDIA Quadro K620 (6282, delta 0.7%), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER (6270, delta 0.9%). The T600's average score is 708 points higher than the R7 M350's, which is an 11.2% advantage in aggregate database performance. However, that aggregate figure is computed from a much larger set of benchmarks for the T600 (nine tests) versus only two for the R7 M350, so the head-to-head results carry more weight for a direct comparison.

The Verdict

The data is unambiguous: the NVIDIA T600 wins every recorded head-to-head benchmark against the AMD Radeon R7 M350. Anyone choosing between these two parts strictly on performance should select the T600. The OpenCL and Vulkan workloads show leads of 298.7% and 351.8%, respectively, which are substantial enough to affect real-world usability in compute and graphics tasks that leverage those APIs.

The R7 M350 is not without merit in the broader database. Its average score of 6327 places it just ahead of the NVIDIA Quadro K620 (6282) and alongside the AMD Radeon Pro WX 4100 (6330). But against the T600, it is outclassed in every measurable way within this comparison. The T600 also carries a higher percentile ranking (39th versus 36th), reinforcing that it sits higher in the overall performance distribution.

For users who prioritize compute workloads, OpenCL performance, or Vulkan-based rendering, the T600 is the only rational choice based on these numbers. The R7 M350's 779.5 GFLOPS of FP32 throughput is less than half of the T600's 1.709 TFLOPS, and that difference shows up directly in the benchmark deltas. The verdict is straightforward: the T600 wins on every recorded metric, and the R7 M350 cannot close that gap in any test present in the database.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural generations and are built on different process nodes. The NVIDIA T600 uses the TU117 chip, based on the Turing architecture, fabricated on a 12 nm process at TSMC. The chip contains 4,700 million transistors on a 200 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 23.5 million per mm². The AMD Radeon R7 M350 uses the Meso chip, based on GCN 3.0, also fabricated at TSMC but on a 28 nm process. That chip contains 1,550 million transistors on a 125 mm² die, for a transistor density of 12.4 million per mm². The T600's newer process node and higher transistor density are consistent with its much larger performance lead.

The T600 belongs to the Quadro Turing generation, while the R7 M350 belongs to the Gem System generation within the R7 M300 series. The T600's predecessor is Quadro Volta and its successor is Workstation Ampere. The R7 M350's predecessor is Solar System and its successor is Polaris Mobile. Both parts are marked as end-of-life in production status.

Memory architecture differs sharply. The T600 uses 4 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 160.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The R7 M350 also has 4 GB, but it is DDR3 on a 64-bit bus, delivering only 16.00 GB/s. That is a tenfold difference in memory bandwidth, which explains why the T600 dominates in memory-sensitive workloads like Vulkan rendering. The T600's memory clock is listed at 1250 MHz with 10 Gbps effective data rate, while the R7 M350's memory runs at 1000 MHz with 2 Gbps effective.

Compute resources also favor the T600. The T600 has 640 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs. The R7 M350 has 384 shading units, 24 TMUs, and 8 ROPs. Neither part has dedicated ray tracing cores or tensor cores. The T600's pixel rate is 42.72 GPixel/s and its texture rate is 53.40 GTexel/s, while the R7 M350 manages 8.120 GPixel/s and 24.36 GTexel/s. FP32 throughput is 1.709 TFLOPS for the T600 versus 779.5 GFLOPS for the R7 M350. FP16 throughput is 3.418 TFLOPS (2:1 ratio) on the T600 versus 779.5 GFLOPS (1:1 ratio) on the R7 M350, meaning the T600 can double its FP16 rate while the AMD part cannot.

The T600 draws a rated TDP of 40 W, uses a single-slot form factor, requires no external power connectors, and suggests a 200 W PSU. The R7 M350 has no TDP, slot width, power connector, or PSU data in the database. The T600 connects via PCIe 3.0 x16, while the R7 M350 uses PCIe 3.0 x8. The T600 offers four mini-DisplayPort 1.4a outputs; the R7 M350 has no display output information recorded.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA T600 wins in every recorded head-to-head test. It takes the Geekbench OpenCL benchmark with a 298.7% delta and the Geekbench Vulkan benchmark with a 351.8% delta. Its wins extend across the broader benchmark suite as well, with scores in Passmark DirectX 10 (32), DirectX 11 (49), DirectX 12 (25), DirectX 9 (114), G2D (756), G3D (6479), and GPU compute (2402). The T600's percentile ranking of 39th versus the R7 M350's 36th also puts it ahead in overall standing.

The AMD Radeon R7 M350 wins no head-to-head benchmarks against the T600. Its only recorded benchmark scores are Geekbench OpenCL at 6991 and Geekbench Vulkan at 5662, both of which are far behind the T600. In the context of its nearest rivals, the R7 M350 is competitive with the AMD Radeon Pro WX 4100 (delta 0%) and the NVIDIA Quadro K620 (delta 0.7%), but that does not translate into any advantage over the T600.

For use cases such as OpenCL compute workloads, Vulkan-based applications, or any task that benefits from higher memory bandwidth and pixel throughput, the T600 is the clear pick. The R7 M350's lower bandwidth (16.00 GB/s), lower pixel rate (8.120 GPixel/s), and lower texture rate (24.36 GTexel/s) make it unsuitable for competing with the T600 in those areas. The T600's higher FP32 and FP16 throughput, along with its larger shading unit count (640 versus 384), further cement its advantage in compute-heavy scenarios.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ in nearly every recorded specification. The T600 uses a TU117 chip on a 12 nm process with 4,700 million transistors and a 200 mm² die, while the R7 M350 uses a Meso chip on a 28 nm process with 1,550 million transistors and a 125 mm² die. Transistor density is 23.5M per mm² for the T600 versus 12.4M per mm² for the R7 M350.

Clock speeds differ: the T600 has a base clock of 735 MHz and a boost clock of 1335 MHz, while the R7 M350 has a base clock of 1000 MHz and a boost clock of 1015 MHz. Memory clocks are 1250 MHz (10 Gbps effective) for the T600 versus 1000 MHz (2 Gbps effective) for the R7 M350.

Memory configuration differs: both have 4 GB, but the T600 uses GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus with 160.0 GB/s bandwidth, while the R7 M350 uses DDR3 on a 64-bit bus with 16.00 GB/s bandwidth. The T600 has 640 shading units, 40 TMUs, and 32 ROPs; the R7 M350 has 384 shading units, 24 TMUs, and 8 ROPs.

Pixel rate is 42.72 GPixel/s for the T600 versus 8.120 GPixel/s for the R7 M350. Texture rate is 53.40 GTexel/s versus 24.36 GTexel/s. FP32 is 1.709 TFLOPS versus 779.5 GFLOPS. FP16 is 3.418 TFLOPS (2:1) versus 779.5 GFLOPS (1:1).
