Architecture Differences

The two GPUs represent fundamentally different design philosophies and generations. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M is built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture using the Navi 33 chip, fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC. The NVIDIA CMP 50HX uses the Turing architecture with the TU102 chip, fabricated on a 12 nm process, also at TSMC. The process node difference is substantial: 6 nm versus 12 nm, which directly impacts transistor density. The AMD chip packs 13,300 million transistors into a 204 mm² die, yielding a density of 65.2M transistors per mm². The NVIDIA chip carries 18,600 million transistors across a much larger 754 mm² die, resulting in only 24.7M transistors per mm².

The transistor budgets are spent differently. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M allocates its resources across 1,792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs. It also features 28 ray tracing cores. The NVIDIA CMP 50HX, despite its mining-oriented generation label, has a larger compute footprint: 3,584 shading units, 192 TMUs, and 80 ROPs, plus 56 ray tracing cores and 448 tensor cores. The AMD card has no tensor core count recorded.

Clock behavior diverges sharply. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M runs a 1,500 MHz base clock and boosts to 2,410 MHz, with a game clock of 2,070 MHz. The NVIDIA CMP 50HX has a 1,350 MHz base and a 1,545 MHz boost. The AMD part's higher clocks compensate for its lower shading unit count in some workloads. Memory clocks also differ: the AMD card runs at 2,000 MHz with 16 Gbps effective speed, while the NVIDIA card runs at 1,750 MHz with 14 Gbps effective speed.

The memory subsystem is a major architectural divider. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M uses 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus for 256.0 GB/s. The NVIDIA CMP 50HX uses 10 GB of GDDR6 on a 320-bit bus for 560.0 GB/s. This gives the NVIDIA part a decisive bandwidth advantage, which matters in memory-heavy workloads.

Power and physical design differ as well. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M is rated at 90 W TDP and is an IGP form factor with no power connectors, designed for portable devices with device-dependent display outputs. The NVIDIA CMP 50HX is a dual-slot card at 250 W TDP, requiring 2x 8-pin power connectors and a 600 W suggested PSU. It has no display outputs, reflecting its mining GPU generation. The NVIDIA card measures 267 mm in length, 116 mm in height, and 35 mm in width.

Interface support diverges. The AMD card uses PCIe 4.0 x16, while the NVIDIA card uses PCIe 1.0 x4, a severe limitation for data transfer. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains one head-to-head benchmark between these two GPUs: Geekbench OpenCL. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M scores 63,775, and the NVIDIA CMP 50HX scores 56,135. The AMD card wins by 13.6%. This is a clear and decisive margin, placing the AMD card significantly ahead in raw OpenCL compute performance.

Contextualizing the AMD card's score against its nearest rivals clarifies its standing. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M sits within 0.1% of the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP (63,830) and the NVIDIA CMP 30HX (63,842), and it is 0.1% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 (63,693). It trails the AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100 (64,640) by 0.7% or 0.7% depending on rounding. The NVIDIA CMP 50HX, meanwhile, sits in a lower performance neighborhood. The AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT averages 50,951, which is 1.6% behind the CMP 50HX. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 50,001 is 3.6% behind the CMP 50HX, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti at 49,957 is 3.7% behind, and the Intel Arc A550M at 49,737 is 4.1% behind.

The NVIDIA card's Vulkan score of 47,445 is notably lower than its OpenCL score. The AMD card has no Vulkan result recorded, so no direct comparison is possible in that API. The average benchmark score for the AMD card is 63,775, while the NVIDIA card's average is 51,790, reflecting the fact that the NVIDIA card has two recorded benchmarks and the AMD card has one.

The 13.6% delta in OpenCL is the largest recorded gap between the two cards. The AMD card's higher clock speeds and newer architecture appear to overcome the NVIDIA card's larger shading unit count and memory bandwidth in this test. The NVIDIA card's bandwidth advantage does not translate into an OpenCL win in the recorded data.

The wins tally is 1 win for the AMD Radeon RX 7600M and 0 wins for the NVIDIA CMP 50HX in head-to-head benchmarks. There are no other recorded head-to-head tests in the database.

The AMD card's percentile ranking of 89 versus 86 aligns with this benchmark outcome. The NVIDIA card's nearest rivals all score in the 49,737 to 50,951 range, placing the NVIDIA card roughly 51,790 to 56,135 in context.

The Verdict

For an OpenCL compute workload, the AMD Radeon RX 7600M is the clear pick based on the recorded data. A 13.6% lead over the NVIDIA CMP 50HX is decisive, and the AMD card sits in the 89th percentile overall. The AMD card's architecture delivers higher floating-point throughput: 17.27 TFLOPS FP32 versus 11.07 TFLOPS FP32, and 34.55 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1) versus 22.15 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1). The NVIDIA card counters with 123.6 GPixel/s pixel rate and 296.6 GTexel/s texture rate, but the AMD card posts 154.2 GPixel/s and 269.9 GTexel/s, respectively. The NVIDIA card has 448 tensor cores, which the AMD card lacks entirely.

The NVIDIA CMP 50HX suits environments where memory bandwidth matters more than raw compute throughput. Its 560.0 GB/s of bandwidth is over double the AMD card's 256.0 GB/s. For a mining GPU generation product with no display outputs, bandwidth-heavy tasks could be its niche. The NVIDIA card also has 10 GB of memory versus 8 GB. Its end-of-life status and 12 nm process limit its longevity compared to the AMD card's active status and 6 nm process.

Portable device users should favor the AMD Radeon, given its IGP form factor and 90 W TDP. The NVIDIA card demands 250 W, a dual-slot footprint, 2x 2x8-pin connectors, and a 600 W PSU. The AMD card uses PCIe 4.0 x16 versus PCIe 1.0 x4.

The benchmark database shows one clear verdict: AMD wins the only recorded head-to-head test. For Vulkan, no AMD result exists, so no claim can be made there. The NVIDIA card's Vulkan score of 47,445 stands alone in the database. The AMD card's OpenCL score of 63,775 is its only recorded benchmark in the database. The NVIDIA card averages 56,135 for OpenCL and 51,790 overall average.
