AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile Comparison

The Verdict

The data separates these two GPUs clearly by use case. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE is a desktop card with a higher average benchmark score, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile is a low-power laptop part that wins the one directly comparable compute test. The RX 7650 GRE holds an 83rd percentile ranking across all GPUs in the database, versus the 75th percentile for the RTX 5070 Mobile. The AMD card also posts a much higher average benchmark score of 42,723 compared to 29,928 for the NVIDIA part.

For desktop builders who need consistent rasterization performance and do not require portability, the RX 7650 GRE is the stronger choice. Its nearest rivals in the database, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER and Quadro M6000 24 GB, sit within 1.2% of its average score, which places it in solid mid-to-upper desktop territory. The RTX 5070 Mobile, by contrast, sits near the RTX 3070 Ti and RTX 2080 Ti in average score, making it a capable mobile option but not a desktop-class performer.

For laptop users, the RTX 5070 Mobile is the only viable option between these two, given its IGP form factor and 50 W power envelope. The RX 7650 GRE is a dual-slot desktop card requiring a 450 W power supply, so it cannot serve mobile workloads. The NVIDIA part also delivers a 32% advantage in the Geekbench OpenCL test, the only head-to-head benchmark recorded in the database. That result indicates the RTX 5070 Mobile has a meaningful compute advantage in that specific workload.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural generations and process nodes. The RX 7650 GRE uses the Navi 33 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, with the codename Hotpink Bonefish, manufactured on a 6 nm process at TSMC. The RTX 5070 Mobile uses the GB206 chip built on Blackwell 2.0 architecture, manufactured on a 5 nm process, also at TSMC. The smaller process node gives the NVIDIA chip a higher transistor density: 121.0 million transistors per mm² versus 65.2 million for the AMD part.

Transistor counts differ substantially. The RTX 5070 Mobile packs 21,900 million transistors into a die size of 181 mm². The RX 7650 GRE has 13,300 million transistors across a larger 204 mm² die. Despite fewer transistors, the AMD chip draws more power: 170 W versus 50 W for the NVIDIA mobile part. That power budget explains why the desktop card can sustain much higher clock speeds. The RX 7650 GRE boosts to 2695 MHz with a base clock of 1720 MHz, while the RTX 5070 Mobile boosts to just 1425 MHz with a base of 907 MHz.

The compute architectures diverge in several ways. The RX 7650 GRE has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 raster operation pipelines, and 32 ray tracing cores. The RTX 5070 Mobile has 4608 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, 48 raster operation pipelines, 36 ray tracing cores, and 144 tensor cores. The AMD card lacks tensor cores entirely, while the NVIDIA part includes them at 144 units. The RX 7650 GRE delivers higher raw pixel and texture rates: 172.5 GPixel/s and 345.0 GTexel/s, versus 68.40 GPixel/s and 205.2 GTexel/s for the RTX 5070 Mobile.

Memory subsystems also differ. The RX 7650 GRE uses 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 288.0 GB/s bandwidth. The RTX 5070 Mobile also has 8 GB but uses GDDR7 memory on the same 128-bit bus, delivering 384.0 GB/s. The NVIDIA part has a 33% bandwidth advantage. The bus interface differs as well: the RX 7650 GRE uses PCIe 4.0 x8, while the RTX 5070 Mobile uses PCIe 5.0 x16.

Where Each One Wins

The RX 7650 GRE wins in raw throughput metrics. Its FP32 compute rating of 22.08 TFLOPS is 68% higher than the RTX 5070 Mobile's 13.13 TFLOPS. Its pixel rate of 172.5 GPixel/s is more than double the NVIDIA part's 68.40 GPixel/s. Its texture rate of 345.0 GTexel/s exceeds the RTX 5070 Mobile's 205.2 GTexel/s by 68%. These figures strongly favor the AMD card for rasterized gaming and general desktop rendering workloads.

The RTX 5070 Mobile wins in the only direct benchmark comparison recorded. In the Geekbench OpenCL test, the NVIDIA part scores 122,238 against the RX 7650 GRE's 83,109, a 32% advantage. The RTX 5070 Mobile also wins on memory bandwidth with 384.0 GB/s versus 288.0 GB/s, and it supports PCIe 5.0 x16 versus PCIe 4.0 x8. The NVIDIA card also has 144 tensor cores, which the AMD part lacks entirely, though no tensor-specific benchmark is recorded in the database.

The power efficiency story favors the NVIDIA part. The RTX 5070 Mobile draws 50 W against 170 W for the RX 7650 GRE, a 120 W difference. That makes the mobile part suitable for thin laptops with no external power connectors, while the AMD card requires a single 8-pin connector and a 450 W power supply. The RX 7650 GRE also requires a dual-slot cooling solution and measures 204 mm in length, whereas the RTX 5070 Mobile is an IGP with no specified dimensions.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records only one direct head-to-head benchmark between these two GPUs, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile wins it. In the Geekbench OpenCL test, the RTX 5070 Mobile scores 122,238 while the RX 7650 GRE scores 83,109. That represents a 32% delta in favor of the NVIDIA part. This is a substantial margin, indicating the Blackwell 2.0 architecture has a clear compute advantage in OpenCL workloads despite its lower clock speeds and smaller power envelope.

The RX 7650 GRE does not win a single recorded head-to-head benchmark. However, its overall average benchmark score of 42,723 versus 29,928 for the RTX 5070 Mobile shows the desktop card dominates the aggregate across the full database. The AMD part's percentile ranking of 83 versus 75 also confirms its stronger overall position.

Looking at the nearest rivals in the database provides additional context. The RX 7650 GRE sits 1.2% below the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER and 1.2% below the Quadro M6000 24 GB, while also trailing the RTX 5050 Mobile by 1.3%.

These figures place the two cards in different performance strata: the RX 7650 GRE competes with high-end desktop GPUs, while the RTX 5070 Mobile aligns with previous-generation desktop flagships.

The FP32 compute numbers reinforce this gap. The RX 7650 GRE delivers 22.08 TFLOPS, which is 68% higher than the RTX 5070 Mobile's 13.13 TFLOPS. The pixel rate difference is even larger: 172.5 GPixel/s for the AMD card versus 68.40 GPixel/s for the NVIDIA part, a 152% advantage. The texture rate difference is 68% in favor of the AMD card. These metrics indicate the RX 7650 GRE will handle rasterization-bound workloads far better, despite losing the OpenCL compute test.
