AMD Radeon RX 7600M vs AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only directly comparable benchmark between the AMD Radeon RX 7600M and the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 is Geekbench OpenCL. In this test, the RX 7600M scores 63,775, while the RX Vega 64 scores 62,552. The delta is 2% in favor of the RX 7600M, making it the sole head-to-head winner with one recorded win against zero for the Vega 64.

Looking at the broader benchmark database, the RX 7600M holds a Geekbench OpenCL score of 63,775 and an average benchmark score of 63,775. Its percentile rank among all GPUs is 89. The RX Vega 64, by contrast, posts a Geekbench OpenCL score of 62,552, but its average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 50,001, dragged down by its lower 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result of 1,669. The Vega 64 also records a Geekbench Metal score of 68,750 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 67,032, both of which exceed its OpenCL figure. The RX 7600M has no Metal or Vulkan entries in the database, so those scores cannot be compared directly.

In terms of nearest rivals, the RX 7600M sits within 0.1% of the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP (63,830) and the NVIDIA CMP 30HX (63,842), both of which edge it out by a hair. It is also 0.1% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 (63,693) and 0.7% behind the AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100 (64,212). The RX Vega 64, on the other hand, is 0.1% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti (49,957) and 0.5% ahead of the Intel Arc A550M (49,737), while trailing the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT (50,951) by 1.9% and leading the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT (48,477) by 3.1%.

The data shows a clear split: in the single overlapping OpenCL test, the RX 7600M wins by a narrow margin. However, the RX Vega 64's additional benchmark entries, particularly its Metal and Vulkan scores, indicate that its overall database profile is more varied, even if its average is lower due to the Steel Nomad result.

Where Each One Wins

The RX 7600M wins in the only direct head-to-head comparison, the Geekbench OpenCL test, by 2%. This result aligns with its overall percentile rank of 89, which places it above the RX Vega 64's percentile of 86. The RX 7600M's win is narrow, but it is consistent with its newer architecture and higher boost clock, as recorded in the specification data.

The RX Vega 64, despite losing the OpenCL comparison, demonstrates strengths in other API-specific workloads. Its Geekbench Metal score of 68,750 and Geekbench Vulkan score of 67,032 are both higher than its OpenCL score of 62,552. These results suggest that the Vega 64 handles Metal and Vulkan workloads more efficiently than OpenCL, even though the database does not provide corresponding RX 7600M scores for those tests. For users or applications that rely on Metal or Vulkan, the Vega 64's recorded data shows a capability that the RX 7600M's single OpenCL entry does not cover.

The RX 7600M also wins on efficiency metrics derived from the specification data. It uses a 6 nm process node from TSMC, while the RX Vega 64 uses a 14 nm node from GlobalFoundries. The RX 7600M's power draw is 90 W, versus 295 W for the Vega 64. These figures appear in the specification section, and they indicate a substantial difference in power requirements, though the benchmark scores do not directly measure efficiency.

The Verdict

The data supports the RX 7600M as the stronger choice for OpenCL-based workloads, as it leads the RX Vega 64 by 2% in the sole head-to-head test. Its percentile rank of 89 against the Vega 64's 86 reinforces this position. The RX 7600M also delivers a higher pixel rate (154.2 GPixel/s versus 98.94 GPixel/s), higher texture rate (269.9 GTexel/s versus 395.8 GTexel/s is not correct, the RX 7600M is lower), and higher FP32 throughput (17.27 TFLOPS versus 12.66 TFLOPS). The texture rate comparison shows the Vega 64 ahead at 395.8 GTexel/s versus 269.9 GTexel/s for the RX 7600M, but the FP32 and pixel rate favor the RX 7600M.

For users prioritizing Metal or Vulkan performance, the RX Vega 64's recorded scores (68,750 and 67,032, respectively) are the only data points available, and they exceed its own OpenCL result. The RX 7600M has no such entries in the database, so no direct comparison is possible there. The Vega 64's average benchmark score of 50,001 is lower than the RX 7600M's 63,775, but that average includes a weak 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1,669, which heavily weights the average downward.

The RX 7600M is the better overall pick based on the OpenCL head-to-head and the percentile ranking. The RX Vega 64 remains relevant only for scenarios where Metal or Vulkan scores matter, and even then, the absence of RX 7600M data for those tests prevents a definitive verdict. The database records the RX 7600M as Active production status, while the RX Vega 64 is End-of-life, which further points to the newer part as the more viable option.
