AMD Radeon RX 7600M vs NVIDIA P102-100 Comparison

# AMD Radeon RX 7600M vs NVIDIA P102-100

The AMD Radeon RX 7600M and NVIDIA P102-100 are two GPUs from different eras and purposes, and the benchmark data reflects a clear generational gap. The RX 7600M is a modern mobile part built on a 6 nm process, while the P102-100 is a mining-specific card from the Pascal generation on 16 nm. In the only shared benchmark, Geekbench OpenCL, the AMD card scores 63,775 against the NVIDIA card's 49,602 — a 28.6% lead. The RX 7600M also holds a higher overall percentile rank (89th vs 88th), suggesting it edges out the P102-100 across the broader GPU landscape.

The Verdict

If you are choosing strictly from the data, the AMD Radeon RX 7600M is the superior performer for compute workloads. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 63,775 places it 28.6% ahead of the NVIDIA P102-100's 49,602 in the same test. The RX 7600M also has a higher average benchmark score (63,775 vs 58,528) and a better percentile rank (89th vs 88th), meaning it outperforms a larger share of all GPUs in the database.

However, the P102-100 is not without its own statistical merits. It wins the Geekbench Vulkan test with a score of 67,454, which is actually higher than the RX 7600M's OpenCL result — though no direct Vulkan comparison exists between the two cards. The P102-100 also offers a unique specification profile: 3,200 shading units, 200 texture mapping units, and 80 ROPs, which are all higher than the RX 7600M's counts. That said, the architectural efficiency of RDNA 3.0 allows the RX 7600M to achieve its higher FP32 throughput of 17.27 TFLOPS versus the P102-100's 10.77 TFLOPS despite having fewer physical units.

For a practical recommendation: the RX 7600M is the pick for anyone needing a modern, active, power-efficient GPU with current API support. The P102-100 is an end-of-life mining card with no display outputs, making it unsuitable for conventional use — its only advantage in the data is raw Vulkan compute performance and a much wider memory bus, but those come with a 250 W TDP and a 600 W suggested PSU, versus the RX 7600M's 90 W TDP and no external power connectors.

Architecture Differences

The architectural gap between these two GPUs is substantial. The RX 7600M uses the Navi 33 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, manufactured by TSMC on a 6 nm process. It packs 13,300 million transistors into a 204 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 65.2 million transistors per mm². In contrast, the P102-100 uses the GP102 chip from the Pascal architecture, also made by TSMC but on a 16 nm process, with 11,800 million transistors spread across a much larger 471 mm² die, giving a density of only 25.1 million per mm².

The RX 7600M is part of the Navi Mobile (RX 7000M) generation and carries the codename "Hotpink Bonefish." It supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The P102-100 belongs to the "Mining GPUs" generation and only reaches DirectX 12 (12_1), though it matches OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4. The RX 7600M includes 28 ray tracing cores, a feature the P102-100 completely lacks. Neither card has tensor cores.

Clock speeds differ notably: the RX 7600M runs at a 1500 MHz base, 2070 MHz game clock, and 2410 MHz boost. The P102-100 has a higher base clock of 1582 MHz but a lower boost of 1683 MHz. Memory clocks also diverge — the RX 7600M uses 2000 MHz (16 Gbps effective) GDDR6, while the P102-100 uses 1376 MHz (11 Gbps effective) GDDR5X. The RX 7600M is an integrated form factor (IGP) with no power connectors, while the P102-100 is dual-slot with two 8-pin connectors and a suggested 600 W PSU.

An important architectural distinction is the FP16 performance ratio. The RX 7600M delivers 34.55 TFLOPS FP16 at a 2:1 ratio relative to FP32, while the P102-100 manages only 168.3 GFLOPS at a 1:64 ratio — a massive difference in compute capability for workloads that use half-precision arithmetic.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Only one direct benchmark comparison exists between the two cards: Geekbench OpenCL. The RX 7600M scores 63,775, while the P102-100 scores 49,602, giving AMD a 28.6% advantage. This is the single decisive head-to-head metric in the data, and it aligns with the average benchmark scores — the RX 7600M averages 63,775 across its one test, while the P102-100 averages 58,528 across two tests (OpenCL and Vulkan).

The P102-100's Vulkan score of 67,454 is worth examining. While there is no RX 7600M Vulkan result to compare directly, this score exceeds the RX 7600M's OpenCL score by 5.8%, suggesting the Pascal card retains strength in Vulkan compute scenarios. However, this is not a direct comparison, and the P102-100's OpenCL deficit of 28.6% against the RX 7600M is the only apples-to-apples data point.

Looking at nearest rivals provides additional context. The RX 7600M sits within 0.7% of several cards: it is 0.1% behind the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP (63,830) and NVIDIA CMP 30HX (63,842), and 0.1% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 (63,693). The P102-100's nearest rivals show it within 0.8% of cards like the AMD Radeon PRO V710 (58,657) and AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT (58,392), with an average score that is 8.2% lower than the RX 7600M's.

In terms of raw throughput, the RX 7600M produces 17.27 TFLOPS FP32 and a pixel rate of 154.2 GPixel/s, while the P102-100 produces 10.77 TFLOPS and 134.6 GPixel/s. The texture rates are closer — 269.9 GTexel/s for AMD versus 336.6 GTexel/s for NVIDIA — indicating the P102-100's higher TMU count (200 vs 112) gives it a texture processing edge despite the overall compute deficit.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 7600M wins decisively in OpenCL compute performance, delivering 63,775 points versus the P102-100's 49,602 — a 28.6% advantage. It also wins on FP32 throughput (17.27 TFLOPS vs 10.77 TFLOPS), FP16 capability (34.55 TFLOPS vs 168.3 GFLOPS), pixel rate (154.2 GPixel/s vs 134.6 GPixel/s), and modern API support including DirectX 12 Ultimate and ray tracing. Its 90 W TDP and IGP form factor make it suitable for mobile applications, and it is an active production part with a 2023 release date.

The NVIDIA P102-100 wins on several specification fronts that favor certain workloads. Its memory bandwidth of 440.3 GB/s is 72% higher than the RX 7600M's 256.0 GB/s, which benefits memory-bound tasks. Its texture rate of 336.6 GTexel/s exceeds AMD's 269.9 GTexel/s, and it has more shading units (3200 vs 1792), TMUs (200 vs 112), and ROPs (80 vs 64). Its Geekbench Vulkan score of 67,454 is the single highest benchmark score between the two cards, suggesting strong performance in Vulkan-based compute scenarios. However, the P102-100's PCIe 1.0 x4 interface, lack of display outputs, and end-of-life status severely limit its practical use cases beyond mining or specialized compute tasks.
