AMD Radeon R7 M460 vs Intel UHD Graphics 750 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database shows a single direct benchmark comparison between these two GPUs, and it is close. In the Geekbench OpenCL test, the Intel UHD Graphics 750 scores 6,743 points against 6,612 points for the AMD Radeon R7 M460. That is a 2% advantage for the Intel part, a slim margin that places both products in the same performance tier. The Intel UHD Graphics 750 also has a Geekbench Vulkan score of 8,138, while the AMD Radeon R7 M460 has no Vulkan result recorded in the database.

Looking at the broader context, the Intel UHD Graphics 750 posts an average benchmark score of 7,441 across all recorded tests. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon HD 8850M, scores 7,447, which is 0.1% higher. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 sits 0.4% ahead at 7,472, while the Intel Arc A310 leads by 1.4% with 7,550. The AMD Radeon R7 350 trails slightly at 7,425, a 0.2% deficit. These deltas are all within a couple of percentage points, indicating that the Intel UHD Graphics 750 occupies a very dense cluster of similarly performing hardware.

The AMD Radeon R7 M460, by contrast, shows an average benchmark score of 6,612. Its nearest rivals tell a similar story of tight competition. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670M scores 6,513, which is 1.5% behind the AMD part. The AMD Radeon HD 7730M scores 6,581, a 0.5% deficit. The Intel UHD Graphics P750 scores 6,554, 0.9% behind. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 1010 leads the group at 6,698, putting it 1.3% ahead of the R7 M460. None of these gaps represent a meaningful performance class difference.

When the two headline products are placed side by side, the Intel UHD Graphics 750 wins the only head-to-head test, but the 2% delta is within run-to-run variance for most workloads. The Intel part also benefits from a Vulkan score that the AMD part cannot match, which broadens its API coverage in the database.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural generations and are built on different manufacturing processes. The Intel UHD Graphics 750 uses the Generation 12.1 architecture and is part of the Rocket Lake family, fabricated on Intel's 14 nm+++ process. The AMD Radeon R7 M460 uses the GCN 3.0 architecture, belongs to the Gem System (R7 M400) generation, and is built on TSMC's 28 nm process. This generational gap shows up in feature support: the Intel part supports DirectX 12 (12_1), while the AMD part supports DirectX 12 (12_0). Both support OpenGL 4.6, but the Intel part lists Vulkan 1.4 support compared to Vulkan 1.2.170 for the AMD part.

The transistor counts and die sizes differ substantially, reflecting the different design philosophies. The AMD Radeon R7 M460 contains 1,550 million transistors on a 125 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 12.4M per mm². The Intel UHD Graphics 750 has no transistor or die size data recorded in the database. The AMD part is a discrete GPU with its own memory interface, while the Intel part is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) that shares system memory.

Shading unit counts favor the AMD part on paper. The Radeon R7 M460 has 384 shading units, 24 texture mapping units, and 8 raster output units. The Intel UHD Graphics 750 has 256 shading units, 16 TMUs, and 8 ROPs. However, the raw throughput numbers tell a more nuanced story. The Intel part achieves a pixel rate of 10.40 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 20.80 GTexel/s, while the AMD part posts 8.192 GPixel/s and 24.58 GTexel/s. The AMD part has a higher texture fill rate despite fewer ROPs, but the Intel part wins on pixel throughput. In FP32 compute, the AMD part leads with 786.4 GFLOPS against 665.6 GFLOPS for Intel. The Intel part's FP16 performance is 1,331.2 GFLOPS (2:1 ratio), while the AMD part manages 786.4 GFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel UHD Graphics 750 wins the only recorded head-to-head benchmark, the Geekbench OpenCL test, by 2%. It also has a recorded Geekbench Vulkan score of 8,138, which the AMD Radeon R7 M460 lacks entirely. For applications that can use Vulkan, the Intel part has a clear advantage in the database, since no equivalent Vulkan result exists for the AMD product.

The AMD Radeon R7 M460 counters with a higher FP32 compute figure of 786.4 GFLOPS versus 665.6 GFLOPS for the Intel part. It also has a higher texture rate at 24.58 GTexel/s, which can benefit texture-heavy workloads. The AMD part has dedicated 2 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 64-bit bus with 36.00 GB/s of bandwidth, while the Intel part relies on system shared memory with system-dependent bandwidth. For workloads that are sensitive to memory bandwidth consistency, the discrete GDDR5 implementation on the AMD side may hold an advantage, though the database does not include a direct test proving this.

The Intel part has a higher pixel rate at 10.40 GPixel/s, which can help in fill-rate-limited scenarios. It also supports a newer DirectX feature level (12_1 versus 12_0) and a newer Vulkan version (1.4 versus 1.2.170). The Intel part's boost clock reaches 1,300 MHz, compared to 1,024 MHz for the AMD part, though the AMD part starts at a much higher base clock of 730 MHz versus 300 MHz for Intel.

Specification Differences

The two products differ across nearly every recorded specification. The Intel UHD Graphics 750 is built on Intel's 14 nm+++ process, while the AMD Radeon R7 M460 uses TSMC's 28 nm process. The AMD part has a recorded transistor count of 1,550 million and a die size of 125 mm², with a transistor density of 12.4M per mm²; the Intel part has no data for these fields.

Clock speeds differ significantly. The Intel part has a 300 MHz base clock and a 1,300 MHz boost clock. The AMD part has a 730 MHz base clock and a 1,024 MHz boost clock, with memory clocked at 1,125 MHz (4.5 Gbps effective). Memory configuration is a major differentiator: the AMD part has 2 GB of GDDR5 on a 64-bit bus with 36.00 GB/s bandwidth, while the Intel part uses system shared memory with system-dependent bandwidth.

Compute resources differ as well. The AMD part has 384 shading units and 24 TMUs, while the Intel part has 256 shading units and 16 TMUs. Both have 8 ROPs. The pixel rate favors Intel at 10.40 GPixel/s versus 8.192 GPixel/s, while the texture rate favors AMD at 24.58 GTexel/s versus 20.80 GTexel/s. FP32 output favors AMD at 786.4 GFLOPS versus 665.6 GFLOPS, and FP16 output favors Intel at 1,331.2 GFLOPS versus 786.4 GFLOPS.

The bus interface differs: the Intel part uses a Ring Bus, while the AMD part uses PCIe 3.0 x8. The Intel part is an IGP with motherboard-dependent display outputs, while the AMD part has no display output data recorded. The Intel part has a TDP of 15 W, while the AMD part has no TDP recorded. The AMD part's predecessor is listed as Solar System and its successor as Polaris Mobile; the Intel part has no predecessor or successor listed. Release dates differ by nearly five years: the AMD part launched on 2016-05-14, while the Intel part launched on 2021-03-29. Both are end-of-life products.

The Verdict

The data points to a narrow overall win for the Intel UHD Graphics 750. It wins the only direct head-to-head benchmark, has a higher average benchmark score, and offers Vulkan support that the AMD Radeon R7 M460 cannot match in the database. The 2% OpenCL delta is small, but the Intel part's additional Vulkan result and higher pixel rate give it a broader feature set for modern API coverage.

The AMD Radeon R7 M460 still has arguments in its favor. Its dedicated 2 GB of GDDR5 memory with 36.00 GB/s bandwidth removes dependence on system memory, and its higher FP32 compute and texture rate could help in specific compute or texture-heavy tasks. The AMD part also has a substantially higher base clock, which may translate to more consistent performance in workloads that do not boost well.

For a builder choosing between the two, the Intel UHD Graphics 750 is the better default pick based on the recorded data. It wins the benchmark that matters, supports newer API versions, and posts a higher average score. The AMD Radeon R7 M460 is only worth considering if the workload specifically benefits from its dedicated memory or higher FP32 throughput, as those advantages do not show up as a win in the recorded OpenCL test. Given that both products are end-of-life, the practical choice comes down to which system they are attached to: the Intel part is an IGP in a Rocket Lake platform, while the AMD part is a discrete mobile GPU from 2016. The Intel part's 40th percentile ranking versus the AMD part's 38th percentile ranking confirms that both sit in the lower-middle range of the GPU population, with the Intel part holding a slight edge.
