Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE is built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture using the Navi 33 chip, fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 A Mobile uses the Ampere architecture with the GA106 chip, fabricated on an 8 nm process at Samsung. The process node disparity is significant: the AMD part uses 6 nm silicon versus 8 nm for NVIDIA, and the transistor density reflects this, with AMD at 65.2 million transistors per square millimeter versus 43.5 million for NVIDIA.

The AMD chip integrates 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die. The NVIDIA chip integrates 12,000 million transistors on a larger 276 mm² die. Despite the smaller die, the AMD part packs more transistors, which aligns with the denser manufacturing process. The Radeon RX 7650 GRE belongs to the Navi III (RX 7000) generation and carries the codename Hotpink Bonefish, while the RTX 3050 A Mobile belongs to the GeForce 30 Mobile generation with no codename listed.

Compute resources differ substantially. The AMD GPU has 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, and 64 ROPs, with 32 ray tracing cores and no tensor cores listed. The NVIDIA GPU has 1792 shading units, 56 TMUs, and 32 ROPs, with 14 ray tracing cores and 56 tensor cores. The AMD part supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, matching the API support of the NVIDIA part.

Clock behavior also diverges. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE runs a base clock of 1720 MHz, a game clock of 2350 MHz, and a boost clock of 2695 MHz. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 A Mobile runs a base clock of 1065 MHz and a boost clock of 1343 MHz, with no game clock listed. The memory clocks differ as well: AMD uses 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective, while NVIDIA uses 1500 MHz with 12 Gbps effective.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records one head-to-head benchmark between these two GPUs: Geekbench OpenCL. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE scores 83109, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 A Mobile scores 52998. The AMD part wins by 56.8%. This is a decisive margin, indicating that the AMD GPU delivers substantially higher compute throughput in this OpenCL workload.

The average benchmark scores tell a broader story. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE averages 42723 across all recorded tests, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 A Mobile averages 8746. That places the AMD part roughly 4.9 times higher in average score, though the two products occupy very different market positions and power envelopes. The AMD part ranks at the 83rd percentile of all GPUs, while the NVIDIA part ranks at the 44th percentile, a spread of 39 percentile points.

Looking at the AMD side, the nearest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER with an average score of 43223, a delta of -1.2%. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB scores 43262, also -1.2%. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile scores 43268, -1.3%, and the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 scores 43301, -1.3%. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE sits within 1.3% of all four of these higher-scoring parts, which indicates that its average performance lands just below that cluster.

On the NVIDIA side, the nearest rivals are much lower in the overall distribution. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 v2 matches the RTX 3050 A Mobile exactly with a 0% delta. The NVIDIA Quadro P2200 scores 8686, which the RTX 3050 A Mobile leads by 0.7%. The AMD Radeon R9 M265X scores 8851, a -1.2% delta for the NVIDIA part, and the AMD Radeon Pro WX 5100 scores 8863, a -1.3% delta. The RTX 3050 A Mobile therefore trades places with older or lower-tier cards rather than competing near the RX 7650 GRE.

The recorded head-to-head win count is 1 for the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE and 0 for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 A Mobile. The OpenCL result is the only direct comparison available in the database, and it favors AMD by a wide margin.

The Verdict

The data shows a clear performance hierarchy. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE delivers an average benchmark score of 42723, placing it at the 83rd percentile, with nearest rivals like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER within 1.2%. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 A Mobile delivers an average benchmark score of 8746, placing it at the 44th percentile, with nearest rivals like the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 v2 at parity. These are not competing in the same performance class.

For compute-heavy workloads, the AMD part wins decisively. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 83109 versus 52998 represents a 56.8% advantage. The AMD GPU also carries far more raw resources: 2048 shading units versus 1792, 128 TMUs versus 56, 64 ROPs versus 32, and 32 ray tracing cores versus 14. Memory bandwidth favors AMD as well, with 288.0 GB/s against 192.0 GB/s, and the AMD part has 8 GB of GDDR6 versus 4 GB.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 A Mobile has its own advantages in the recorded data. It is a mobile part with a 45 W TDP, compared to 170 W for the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE, and it uses an IGP slot width with no power connectors. It also includes 56 tensor cores, which the AMD part does not list. For systems constrained by power and physical space, the NVIDIA part fits a different design target.

Pick the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE for desktop performance where power delivery is available. The data shows it outperforms the NVIDIA part by 56.8% in OpenCL and holds its own against cards like the RTX 4070 SUPER within 1.2%. Pick the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 A Mobile for portable or low-power integration, where the 45 W TDP, IGP form factor, and tensor core support matter more than raw compute scores.
