AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT vs NVIDIA N1 20SM Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT and the NVIDIA N1 20SM. The AMD part has a full suite of recorded scores, while the NVIDIA N1 20SM has no benchmark entries at all. This absence of comparative data means the analysis must rely on the AMD card's absolute performance and the architectural specifications of both parts.

The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT posts an average benchmark score of 12,710 across its recorded tests. Its closest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670, averages 12,773, which places the AMD card 0.5% behind that older discrete GPU. Against the NVIDIA Tesla K20Xm, the AMD card is 0.7% ahead with a 12,625 average. The AMD Radeon Pro 455 sits 0.9% behind at 12,831, and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 leads by 0.9% with a 12,830 average. These margins are narrow, indicating the RX 7600M XT clusters tightly with mid-range GPUs from several generations ago.

In the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, the RX 7600M XT scores 2,048 points. This result reflects modern DirectX 12 workload performance, and the score places the card in the 52nd percentile among all GPUs in the database. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 74,869 shows strong compute throughput for general-purpose workloads, while the Vulkan score of 27,793 indicates respectable graphics API performance. Passmark tests reveal a mixed profile: DirectX 9 scores 175, DirectX 10 scores 76, DirectX 11 scores 137, and DirectX 12 scores 58. The G2D score of 894 and G3D score of 13,907 round out the picture, with GPU compute at 7,140.

The NVIDIA N1 20SM has zero recorded benchmarks and an average score of 0, placing it in the 50th percentile by default. With no data points, the database cannot establish any performance delta between the two parts. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and both win counters remain at zero.

Where Each One Wins

Based on recorded data, the AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT wins every measurable comparison because it has scores and the NVIDIA N1 20SM has none. The AMD card delivers 20.23 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, 316.0 GTexel/s of texture fill rate, and 158.0 GPixel/s of pixel throughput. These figures come from 2,048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 64 raster operations units. The card also includes 32 ray tracing cores and supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

The NVIDIA N1 20SM, by contrast, has no benchmark scores to claim any workload victory. Its specifications suggest different design priorities: 2,560 shading units, 160 TMUs, but only 24 ROPs. The FP32 throughput is 12.01 TFLOPS, which is lower than the AMD part, and FP16 performance matches FP32 at a 1:1 ratio. The texture rate of 375.4 GTexel/s exceeds the AMD card, but the pixel rate of 56.30 GPixel/s is substantially lower. The NVIDIA part has 20 ray tracing cores and 80 tensor cores, the latter being absent from the AMD card.

For gaming workloads typical of DirectX 12 titles, the AMD card's higher pixel rate and FP32 throughput give it an advantage on paper. The NVIDIA part's higher texture rate could benefit texture-bound scenes, but without benchmark data, this remains speculative. Compute workloads that leverage OpenCL would favor the AMD card based on its 74,869 Geekbench OpenCL score. The NVIDIA part's tensor cores suggest AI and machine learning capability, but no recorded scores exist to quantify this.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ across nearly every specification field. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT is built on a 6 nm process node at TSMC, while the NVIDIA N1 20SM uses a 5 nm node, also at TSMC. The AMD chip, Navi 33, has 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 65.2M per mm². The NVIDIA chip, GB20B, has an unknown transistor count on a 382 mm² die with no density figure recorded.

Clock speeds vary significantly. The AMD card has a base clock of 1280 MHz, a boost clock of 2469 MHz, and a game clock of 2023 MHz. The NVIDIA part has a base clock of 741 MHz and a boost clock of 2346 MHz, with no game clock listed. Memory clocks also differ: the AMD card runs at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective, while the NVIDIA part runs at 1067 MHz with 8.5 Gbps effective.

Memory capacity and type diverge sharply. The AMD card uses 8 GB of GDDR6, while the NVIDIA part uses 128 GB of LPDDR5X. Bus widths are 128-bit for AMD and 256-bit for NVIDIA, yet bandwidth is close: 288.0 GB/s versus 273.2 GB/s. The AMD card has 32 ray tracing cores and no tensor cores, while the NVIDIA part has 20 ray tracing cores and 80 tensor cores.

Power and interface specifications also differ. The AMD card has a TDP of 120 W, while the NVIDIA TDP is unknown. Both use IGP slot width and have no power connectors. The bus interface is PCIe 4.0 x16 for AMD and PCIe 5.0 x16 for NVIDIA. Display outputs are portable-device dependent for AMD and 1x HDMI for NVIDIA. Release dates place the AMD part at January 3, 2023, and the NVIDIA part at May 31, 2026.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT uses the RDNA 3.0 architecture with the codename Hotpink Bonefish, part of the Navi Mobile generation (RX 7000M). The NVIDIA N1 20SM uses the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with the chip GB20B, part of the Blackwell IGP generation (N1x). AMD's predecessor is Polaris Mobile, while NVIDIA has no listed predecessor.

The AMD architecture implements a 2:1 FP16 to FP32 ratio, meaning FP16 performance doubles to 40.45 TFLOPS. The NVIDIA architecture uses a 1:1 ratio, keeping FP16 at 12.01 TFLOPS. This indicates AMD's design targets mixed-precision workloads, while NVIDIA's approach prioritizes consistent throughput across precision formats.

Shader organization differs meaningfully. The AMD card packs 2,048 shading units, 128 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. The NVIDIA card has 2,560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and only 24 ROPs. This imbalance explains the performance characteristics: NVIDIA has more texture units for texture-heavy scenes, but AMD has nearly three times the ROP count for pixel output. The pixel rate of 158.0 GPixel/s for AMD versus 56.30 GPixel/s for NVIDIA confirms this fill-rate gap.

Ray tracing hardware exists on both, with AMD implementing 32 RT cores and NVIDIA using 20. Tensor cores are exclusive to NVIDIA at 80 units, suggesting the N1 20SM carries AI acceleration hardware that the AMD card lacks. The process node difference, 6 nm versus 5 nm, gives NVIDIA a manufacturing advantage, but the AMD card achieves higher clock speeds and compute throughput despite the larger node.

The NVIDIA part's 128 GB memory capacity is extraordinary for a GPU, far exceeding the 8 GB on the AMD card. This suggests the N1 20SM targets unified memory architectures in integrated or system-on-chip designs, while the AMD card is a traditional discrete mobile GPU. The lack of DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan support on the NVIDIA part further indicates a non-graphics-focused role, possibly for compute or AI workloads in embedded or data-center contexts. The AMD card's full API support confirms its gaming and graphics orientation.
