AMD Radeon RX 7600M vs AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE Comparison

# AMD Radeon RX 7600M vs AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE

The AMD Radeon RX 7600M and AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE sit in entirely different tiers of the GPU landscape, separated by two generations of RDNA architecture and a 220-watt versus 90-watt power envelope. The data shows a decisive single-benchmark victory for the newer, larger RX 9070 GRE, but the comparison reveals more than just raw performance—it highlights how AMD has repositioned its mobile and desktop-discrete lineups across process nodes, memory subsystems, and compute resources. The RX 7600M is an integrated-class mobile part (IGP slot width, no power connectors) from the Radeon RX 7000 series, while the RX 9070 GRE is a dual-slot, 2x 8-pin desktop card from the Radeon RX 9000 series. Their shared AMD pedigree and identical DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4 API support make the architectural leap between them the central story.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only direct benchmark comparison available in the data is Geekbench OpenCL, and it is not close. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE scores 109,309 points, while the AMD Radeon RX 7600M manages 63,775 points. That works out to a deltaPct of -41.7% from the perspective of the RX 7600M, meaning the RX 9070 GRE outperforms the mobile chip by roughly 71% in raw OpenCL compute throughput. This is a massive gap, but it is entirely consistent with the specifications: the RX 9070 GRE carries 3,072 shading units against 1,792 for the RX 7600M, 192 texture mapping units versus 112, and 96 ROPs versus 64. The RX 9070 GRE also doubles the FP32 throughput to 34.28 TFLOPS from 17.27 TFLOPS, and its texture rate of 535.7 GTexel/s nearly doubles the 269.9 GTexel/s of the RX 7600M.

The RX 9070 GRE’s win is the only head-to-head result, but context from the nearestRivals data reinforces how each card sits in the broader market. The RX 7600M’s average benchmark score of 63,775 places it at the 89th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP, scores 63,830—essentially identical at a -0.1% deltaPct. The NVIDIA CMP 30HX is similarly close at 63,842 (-0.1%), while the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 trails by just 0.1% at 63,693. The AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100 leads the group at 64,212, putting the RX 7600M 0.7% behind. In other words, the RX 7600M is a mid-pack performer among its immediate peers, competitive but not dominant within its percentile band.

The RX 9070 GRE, despite its vastly higher Geekbench OpenCL score, sits at the 87th percentile—two points lower than the RX 7600M—because its average benchmark score of 57,367 is dragged down by the inclusion of a second test, 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, where it scores 5,424. Its nearest rivals reflect this mixed profile: the Intel Arc A580 averages 57,756 (-0.7%), the AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM scores 58,085 (-1.2%), the Intel Arc A570M hits 58,239 (-1.5%), and the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT leads at 58,392 (-1.8%). So while the RX 9070 GRE crushes the RX 7600M in OpenCL, its overall benchmark average places it in a similar percentile tier, illustrating that raw compute performance does not always translate to a higher percentile ranking when multiple tests are averaged.

FAQ

Q: Which GPU wins the Geekbench OpenCL benchmark?

A: The AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE wins decisively with a score of 109,309 versus 63,775 for the AMD Radeon RX 7600M, a deltaPct of -41.7% from the RX 7600M’s perspective.

Q: How do the two cards compare in memory capacity and bandwidth?

A: The launch MSRP is 549 USD. The RX 7600M has no listed launch MSRP in the data.

Architecture Differences

The architectural gap between these two GPUs is generational and fundamental. The RX 7600M is built on RDNA 3.0 with the Navi 33 chip, codenamed Hotpink Bonefish, and belongs to the Navi Mobile (RX 7000M) generation. The RX 9070 GRE is built on RDNA 4.0 with the Navi 48 chip and belongs to the Navi IV (RX 9000) generation. This is not a minor revision; RDNA 4.0 represents a new microarchitecture with significant changes to ray tracing and compute resource allocation.

The process node shift is stark: the RX 7600M uses a 6 nm TSMC process, while the RX 9070 GRE uses 4 nm TSMC. This allows the RX 9070 GRE to pack 53,900 million transistors onto a 357 mm² die, compared to 13,300 million on 204 mm² for the RX 7600M. The transistor density more than doubles, from 65.2M per mm² to 151.0M per mm². That density increase enables the RX 9070 GRE to field 3,072 shading units, 192 TMUs, 96 ROPs, and 48 ray tracing cores, versus 1,792 shading units, 112 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 28 RT cores for the RX 7600M. The RT core count increase of 71% is particularly notable for ray-traced workloads, though no ray tracing benchmark is present in the data.

Clock behavior also differs meaningfully. The RX 7600M has a higher base clock at 1500 MHz versus 1420 MHz, but the RX 9070 GRE takes the lead in game clock (2220 MHz versus 2070 MHz) and boost clock (2790 MHz versus 2410 MHz). The RX 9070 GRE’s 380 MHz boost advantage is substantial and contributes to its FP32 output of 34.28 TFLOPS, exactly double the 17.27 TFLOPS of the RX 7600M. Interestingly, the FP16 figures tell a different story: the RX 7600M achieves 34.55 TFLOPS FP16 via a 2:1 ratio, while the RX 9070 GRE achieves 34.28 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio. This suggests the RX 9070 GRE has moved away from rate-matching FP16, likely prioritizing FP32 throughput instead.

The Verdict

The data makes the verdict straightforward for raw performance: the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE is the superior GPU by a wide margin in Geekbench OpenCL, with a 109,309 score versus 63,775 for the RX 7600M—a deltaPct of -41.7% from the mobile chip’s perspective. Its 12 GB memory, 432.0 GB/s bandwidth, 3,072 shading units, and 34.28 TFLOPS FP32 output position it as a far more capable compute and rasterization part. The RX 9070 GRE also brings a 4 nm process, PCIe 5.0 x16, and a 48 RT core count that should benefit modern ray-traced titles, though no RT benchmark is available in the pack.

However, the RX 9070 GRE is not a universal recommendation. Its average benchmark score of 57,367 across two tests places it at the 87th percentile, actually two points below the RX 7600M’s 89th percentile. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5,424 is modest, and its nearest rivals—the Intel Arc A580, RX 5600 OEM, Arc A570M, and RX 6950 XT—all post higher average scores. The RX 7600M, by contrast, is tightly clustered with the RX 9060 XT LP and CMP 30HX, showing consistent performance in its single benchmark. The RX 9070 GRE’s 220 W TDP and 550 W suggested PSU also demand a desktop chassis with real power delivery, whereas the RX 7600M’s 90 W TDP and IGP form factor make it suitable for portable devices with no discrete power connectors.

Who should pick which? Strictly from the data: choose the RX 9070 GRE if you need maximum OpenCL compute, larger memory capacity, higher bandwidth, and the latest RDNA 4.0 architecture—and you have a system that can accommodate a dual-slot card with 2x 8-pin power and a 550 W PSU. Choose the RX 7600M if you are constrained to a mobile or integrated form factor, need only 90 W of power, and value the higher percentile ranking relative to its peers. The RX 7600M is the more portable and power-efficient option; the RX 9070 GRE is the performance leader. The 71% OpenCL gap between them, however, is the defining statistic of this comparison.
