AMD Radeon RX 7600 vs NVIDIA N1 20SM Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 is a discrete desktop graphics card with a full suite of recorded benchmark results, while the NVIDIA N1 20SM is an integrated graphics processor with no benchmark entries in the database. This means every measurable performance comparison defaults to the RX 7600, which holds a 57th percentile rank among all GPUs, while the N1 20SM sits at the 50th percentile with an average benchmark score of zero.

The RX 7600 delivers its strongest results across DirectX workloads. In PassMark DirectX 11 testing it scores 172, and in DirectX 9 it reaches 226. Its PassMark G3D score of 16634 places it well above the midpoint of all recorded GPUs. The card also produces a Geekbench OpenCL score of 88051 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 34401, indicating broad compute and graphics API support. For 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, the RX 7600 records 2310.

The N1 20SM, by contrast, has no recorded wins because the database contains no benchmark scores for it. Its architecture targets integrated use cases, as shown by its IGP slot width, lack of power connectors, and single HDMI output. The data cannot assign it a single performance victory, so the use-case split is entirely one-sided: the RX 7600 wins every measurable category, while the N1 20SM remains unquantified.

Architecture Differences

The two parts come from different manufacturers and entirely different design philosophies. The RX 7600 uses the Navi 33 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, manufactured on a 6 nm process at TSMC. It packs 13,300 million transistors into a 204 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 65.2 million per square millimeter. The N1 20SM uses the GB20B chip on Blackwell 2.0 architecture, also fabricated by TSMC but on a 5 nm node. Its die size is 382 mm², though its transistor count is listed as unknown.

The RX 7600 is a discrete card with a dual-slot design, a single 8-pin power connector, and a suggested PSU of 450 W. It draws 165 W of power. The N1 20SM is an integrated graphics processor with no power connectors and an unknown TDP. Its slot width is listed as IGP, meaning it is designed to be embedded rather than installed as a separate component.

Memory configurations differ substantially. The RX 7600 uses 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, delivering 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The N1 20SM uses 128 GB of LPDDR5X on a 256-bit bus, providing 273.2 GB/s. The N1 20SM has 16 times the memory capacity but slightly lower bandwidth, a tradeoff typical of unified memory architectures where system RAM doubles as graphics memory.

Compute resources also diverge. The RX 7600 has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 render output units, and 32 ray tracing cores. The N1 20SM has 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, 24 ROPs, 20 ray tracing cores, and 80 tensor cores. The RX 7600 therefore has more ROPs and ray tracing cores, while the N1 20SM has more shaders, TMUs, and exclusive tensor cores.

Clock speeds tell a similar story. The RX 7600 runs at a base clock of 1720 MHz, a game clock of 2250 MHz, and a boost clock of 2655 MHz. Its memory runs at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective speed. The N1 20SM has a base clock of 741 MHz and a boost clock of 2346 MHz, with memory at 1067 MHz and 8.5 Gbps effective. The RX 7600 leads in every clock domain except the raw boost figure, where the N1 20SM comes within 309 MHz.

Rates and throughput metrics reflect these differences. The RX 7600 achieves 169.9 GPixel/s pixel rate and 339.8 GTexel/s texture rate, while the N1 20SM manages 56.30 GPixel/s and 375.4 GTexel/s. The RX 7600 delivers 21.75 TFLOPS FP32 and FP16 performance, whereas the N1 20SM delivers 12.01 TFLOPS in both. The RX 7600 holds a clear lead in pixel throughput and raw floating-point compute, while the N1 20SM edges ahead in texture fill rate.

Bus interfaces differ as well. The RX 7600 uses PCIe 4.0 x8, while the N1 20SM uses PCIe 5.0 x16. Display outputs are limited on both, with the RX 7600 offering one HDMI 2.1a and three DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, while the N1 20SM provides a single HDMI port. API support is complete on the RX 7600 with DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The N1 20SM lists N/A for DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan, indicating it relies on alternative or proprietary interfaces.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between these two parts. The head-to-head benchmark list is empty, and both the winsA and winsB counters sit at zero. This is not a case of a narrow margin; it is a complete absence of paired test data.

What the database does provide is the RX 7600's standalone benchmark suite, which can be interpreted against its nearest rivals. In PassMark G3D, the RX 7600 scores 16634. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM, averages 15199, putting the RX 7600 0.2% ahead. The AMD Radeon 680M averages 15270, which puts the RX 7600 0.7% behind that integrated part. The AMD Radeon Pro 560X averages 15082, placing the RX 7600 0.6% ahead. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti averages 15063, with the RX 7600 0.7% ahead.

The RX 7600's average benchmark score across all tests is 15171. This sits within 1% of all four nearest rivals, indicating that while the card is competitive, its margin over comparable parts is thin. The 0.2% delta versus the RTX 3050 OEM is effectively a statistical tie, while the 0.7% gap behind the Radeon 680M shows that an integrated GPU can match it in aggregate scoring.

Individual test results for the RX 7600 reveal where it excels. PassMark DirectX 9 shows 226, DirectX 11 shows 172, and DirectX 10 shows 84. DirectX 12 drops to 58, while G2D shows 984 and GPU compute shows 8790. The OpenCL score of 88051 dwarfs the Vulkan score of 34401, suggesting compute-heavy workloads favor the card's OpenCL path. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2310 provides a modern gaming workload datapoint.

For the N1 20SM, the absence of benchmarks means the database records no scores, no averages, and no rivals. Its percentile rank of 50 is a default placeholder rather than a measured position. The only conclusion the data supports is that the RX 7600 has measurable performance and the N1 20SM does not.

The Verdict

The data supports a straightforward selection. The AMD Radeon RX 7600 is the only one of the two with recorded benchmark results. It holds a 57th percentile rank among all GPUs, has an average benchmark score of 15171, and posts competitive numbers against its nearest rivals, sitting within 1% of the RTX 3050 OEM, Radeon Pro 560X, Radeon 680M, and GTX 660 Ti. It offers 21.75 TFLOPS FP32, 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, and full API support for DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan.

The NVIDIA N1 20SM has no benchmark scores, no average score, and no rival comparisons. Its 50th percentile rank is unverified, and its API support is listed as N/A. It does offer advantages in specific specifications: 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, 80 tensor cores, 128 GB of LPDDR5X memory, a 256-bit bus, and a 5 nm process node. Its boost clock of 2346 MHz is within 309 MHz of the RX 7600's boost.

For an application requiring measured graphics performance, the RX 7600 is the clear choice. For an integrated solution with a large unified memory pool and tensor cores, the N1 20SM has structural appeal, but the database provides no evidence of its real-world capability. The verdict from the recorded data is unambiguous: the RX 7600 is the proven performer, while the N1 20SM remains a specification sheet without test results.
