AMD Radeon RX 7600M vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains exactly one direct comparison between the AMD Radeon RX 7600M and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile: the Geekbench OpenCL test. In this benchmark, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile scored 122238, while the AMD Radeon RX 7600M scored 63775. The delta is -47.8% for the AMD part, meaning the NVIDIA GPU delivers nearly double the OpenCL score. This is a substantial gap, and it sets the tone for the rest of the analysis.

Looking at the broader benchmark suite, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile has multiple recorded results across several test categories. Its Geekbench Vulkan score is 116960, which is close to its OpenCL score but slightly lower. The PassMark DirectX 11 score is 192, DirectX 10 is 129, DirectX 12 is 93, and DirectX 9 is 214. The PassMark G2D score is 896, while the G3D score is 20355, and the GPU compute score is 8279. These numbers paint a picture of a GPU that is strongest in compute-heavy workloads and modern DirectX 12 titles, with lower scores in older DirectX versions.

The AMD Radeon RX 7600M, by contrast, has only one recorded benchmark: Geekbench OpenCL at 63775. This means its overall average benchmark score in the database is exactly that figure, 63775. The NVIDIA GPU’s average benchmark score is 29928, but that average includes many lower-scoring PassMark tests, which drag the mean down. The Geekbench OpenCL result is the only apples-to-apples comparison available, and it strongly favors NVIDIA.

The percentile rankings also differ notably. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M sits at the 89th percentile among all GPUs in the database, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile is at the 75th percentile. This appears counterintuitive given the NVIDIA GPU’s higher OpenCL score, but the percentile is based on the average benchmark score across all recorded tests, not just the head-to-head test. Since the NVIDIA GPU has many lower PassMark scores, its average is pulled down, while the AMD GPU’s single OpenCL score is its entire profile.

When comparing to nearest rivals, the AMD Radeon RX 7600M sits in a tight cluster. Its average score of 63775 is within 0.1% of the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP (63830) and the NVIDIA CMP 30HX (63842), and 0.1% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 (63693). The AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100 scores 64212, which is 0.7% higher. This indicates that the RX 7600M is positioned in a competitive mid-range segment where small performance differences separate products.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile’s nearest rivals tell a different story. Its average score of 29928 is effectively tied with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti (29945, -0.1%) and 0.5% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti (29783). The AMD Radeon RX 6800 scores 30095, which is 0.6% higher, and the AMD Radeon RX 6700 scores 30433, which is 1.7% higher. This suggests that, on average, the RTX 5070 Mobile competes with last-generation desktop GPUs, but its individual OpenCL score is far above that average.

The data shows that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile is the clear winner in the only direct comparison available. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M does not win any of the recorded head-to-head benchmarks; the tally is 0 wins for AMD and 1 win for NVIDIA. However, the AMD GPU’s percentile ranking is higher, which reflects its consistent performance in its single benchmark versus the NVIDIA GPU’s mixed results across many tests.

The Verdict

Based strictly on the recorded data, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile delivers a significantly higher OpenCL score, 122238 versus 63775, a 47.8% advantage. For any workload that relies on OpenCL compute, the NVIDIA GPU is the stronger choice. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M, however, holds a higher percentile ranking at 89 versus 75, which indicates that its single benchmark places it among a higher tier of all GPUs when compared by average score. But that average is based on a single test, so the percentile may overstate its real-world versatility.

The NVIDIA GPU also shows strong Vulkan performance at 116960, which is close to its OpenCL result. This suggests that the GPU handles multiple modern compute APIs well. The AMD GPU has no recorded Vulkan score, so no comparison can be made on that front. The PassMark results for NVIDIA, while lower, provide a broader view of its behavior across DirectX 9, 10, 11, and 12, with DirectX 9 scoring the highest at 214 and DirectX 12 the lowest at 93.

For users who prioritize a single high-throughput compute benchmark, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile is the obvious pick. For those who look at the overall database percentile, the AMD Radeon RX 7600M appears more favorably ranked, but that ranking is based on limited data. The verdict from the measurements is straightforward: the NVIDIA GPU wins the direct comparison, and the AMD GPU’s higher percentile does not offset its lower raw score in the only shared test.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon RX 7600M is built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, using the Navi 33 chip with the codename Hotpink Bonefish. It belongs to the Radeon RX 7000 series and the Navi Mobile (RX 7000M) generation. The process node is 6 nm at TSMC, with 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 65.2 million per mm².

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile is built on Blackwell 2.0 architecture, using the GB206 chip. It belongs to the GeForce 50-series and the GeForce 50 Mobile generation. The process node is 5 nm at TSMC, with 21,900 million transistors on a 181 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 121.0 million per mm². The NVIDIA chip packs 65% more transistors into a smaller die, resulting in nearly double the transistor density.

The AMD GPU has 28 ray tracing cores, while the NVIDIA GPU has 36. The NVIDIA GPU adds 144 tensor cores, which the AMD GPU lacks entirely. The AMD GPU’s FP16 throughput is 2:1 relative to FP32, meaning it can double the rate for half-precision work, while the NVIDIA GPU runs FP16 at the same rate as FP32 (1:1). The AMD GPU’s pixel rate is more than double the NVIDIA GPU’s, 154.2 GPixel/s versus 68.40 GPixel/s, reflecting its higher ROP count and higher clocks.

The release dates differ by over two years. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M was released on 2023-01-03, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile was released on 2025-04-14. The AMD GPU’s predecessor is Polaris Mobile, while the NVIDIA GPU’s predecessor is GeForce 40 Mobile. Both are currently listed as Active in production status.

The transistor density difference is notable: 121.0 million per mm² for NVIDIA versus 65.2 million per mm² for AMD. This reflects the smaller 5 nm node versus the 6 nm node, even though both are manufactured by TSMC. The NVIDIA GPU’s die is smaller at 181 mm², yet it houses more transistors, which is a direct result of the denser process.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile wins in the only direct comparison, Geekbench OpenCL, with a 47.8% lead. Its Vulkan score of 116960 also suggests strong performance in Vulkan-based applications, though no AMD Vulkan score exists for direct comparison. The NVIDIA GPU’s tensor cores provide hardware support for AI and machine learning workloads, which the AMD GPU cannot match due to its lack of tensor cores. The NVIDIA GPU also has 36 ray tracing cores versus 28, giving it more dedicated hardware for ray-traced rendering. Its GDDR7 memory delivers 384.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is 50% higher than the AMD GPU’s 256.0 GB/s, benefiting memory-intensive tasks.

The AMD Radeon RX 7600M wins in raw pixel throughput, delivering 154.2 GPixel/s versus 68.40 GPixel/s. Its texture rate is also higher at 269.9 GTexel/s versus 205.2 GTexel/s. The AMD GPU has higher FP32 compute at 17.27 TFLOPS versus 13.13 TFLOPS, and much higher FP16 at 34.55 TFLOPS versus 13.13 TFLOPS. Its higher base and boost clocks, 1500 MHz and 2410 MHz versus 907 MHz and 1425 MHz, contribute to these throughput advantages. The AMD GPU also holds the 89th percentile ranking versus the NVIDIA GPU’s 75th, indicating that its single benchmark places it among a higher tier of all GPUs in the database.

For workloads that depend on pixel fill rate, such as certain traditional rasterization tasks at high resolutions, the AMD GPU’s higher ROP count and pixel rate give it an edge. For compute-heavy OpenCL workloads, the NVIDIA GPU is clearly superior based on the recorded score. The NVIDIA GPU’s lower TDP of 50 W versus 90 W means it draws less power, which could be relevant for thermal management in portable devices, though no performance-per-watt metric is directly recorded. The AMD GPU’s PCIe 4.0 interface is one generation older than the NVIDIA GPU’s PCIe 5.0, which may affect data transfer rates with the host system, though no benchmark directly measures this.

The data supports a split: NVIDIA wins in modern compute APIs and memory bandwidth, while AMD wins in pixel throughput and raw FP32/FP16 compute. The single head-to-head result, however, is decisive in favor of NVIDIA for OpenCL performance.
