AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE vs NVIDIA N1X 40SM Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a limited direct comparison set for these two parts. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE has two benchmark entries in the database, while the NVIDIA N1X 40SM has none. The AMD card scores 2336 in 3DMark Steel Nomad (DX12) and 83109 in Geekbench OpenCL. The NVIDIA part has no recorded benchmark scores, which places its average at zero and its percentile at 50. This makes direct head-to-head comparisons impossible from measured numbers alone, so the analysis must rely on the specification fields and the AMD card's nearest rival data.

The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE holds an average benchmark score of 42723 across all recorded tests. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, averages 43223, which puts the AMD card 1.2% behind. The same 1.2% delta appears against the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB, which scores 43262. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile and the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 both average 43268 and 43301 respectively, placing the RX 7650 GRE 1.3% behind each. These deltas are small, indicating the RX 7650 GRE sits in a tightly contested performance band where no single rival holds a commanding lead.

The NVIDIA N1X 40SM has no nearest rival entries and no average score. Its percentile of 50 against all GPUs is the only comparative data point. The RX 7650 GRE, by contrast, ranks in the 83rd percentile, meaning it outperforms the majority of GPUs in the database. The N1X 40SM's mid-pack percentile, combined with zero recorded benchmarks, suggests the database has not yet captured its real-world performance. The specification data, however, shows a different story on paper: the N1X 40SM lists 5120 shading units, 320 texture mapping units, and 40 ray tracing cores, while the RX 7650 GRE lists 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, and 32 RT cores. The NVIDIA part also lists 160 tensor cores, which the AMD card lacks entirely.

In raw compute throughput, the NVIDIA N1X 40SM shows 24.02 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16, while the RX 7650 GRE shows 22.08 TFLOPS for both. The NVIDIA part's texture rate of 750.7 GTexel/s is more than double the AMD card's 345.0 GTexel/s. However, the RX 7650 GRE counters with a higher pixel rate of 172.5 GPixel/s versus 93.84 GPixel/s for the N1X 40SM. These numbers indicate that the NVIDIA part is built for shader-heavy and texture-heavy workloads, while the AMD card favors rasterization throughput per pixel.

The Verdict

The data supports different use cases for each card. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE is a conventional discrete graphics card with active production, a 2025 release date, and a launch MSRP of 279 USD. It delivers a measured average benchmark score of 42723 and sits in the 83rd percentile. It has a 6 nm process node, 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, and a transistor density of 65.2M per mm². It uses 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128 bit bus, yielding 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its 170 W TDP, dual-slot design, and 1x 8-pin power connector make it a straightforward drop-in card for a standard desktop build with a 450 W suggested PSU.

The NVIDIA N1X 40SM is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) with a 2026 release date. It uses a 5 nm process node, a 382 mm² die, and 128 GB of LPDDR5X memory on a 256 bit bus, providing 273.2 GB/s of bandwidth. It has no power connectors, no TDP listed, and no suggested PSU, consistent with an IGP design. Its base clock of 741 MHz is low, but the boost clock reaches 2346 MHz. It supports PCIe 5.0 x16, while the AMD card uses PCIe 4.0 x8. The N1X 40SM has no DirectX, OpenGL, or Vulkan API support listed, marked as N/A, while the RX 7650 GRE lists DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

For a buyer building a discrete GPU system, the RX 7650 GRE has the measured performance data and the established software ecosystem. For a system relying on integrated graphics with a massive 128 GB memory pool, the N1X 40SM offers specifications that the AMD card cannot match in memory capacity or tensor core count. The data does not show the N1X 40SM outperforming the RX 7650 GRE in any recorded benchmark because no such benchmarks exist. The verdict from the database is that the RX 7650 GRE is the only one with verified results, while the N1X 40SM remains a specification sheet without performance validation.

Architecture Differences

The two parts come from different architectures entirely. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE uses RDNA 3.0 with the Navi 33 chip, codenamed Hotpink Bonefish, belonging to the Navi III (RX 7000) generation. The NVIDIA N1X 40SM uses Blackwell 2.0 with the GB20B chip, belonging to the Blackwell IGP (N1x) generation. Both use TSMC as the foundry, but the process nodes differ: the AMD card uses 6 nm, while the NVIDIA part uses 5 nm. The AMD card lists 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die with a density of 65.2M per mm². The NVIDIA part lists an unknown transistor count on a 382 mm² die with no density figure.

The memory architectures differ substantially. The RX 7650 GRE uses 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128 bit bus. The N1X 40SM uses 128 GB of LPDDR5X on a 256 bit bus. The AMD card's memory bandwidth is 288.0 GB/s, while the NVIDIA part's is 273.2 GB/s, slightly lower despite the wider bus. The AMD card's memory clock is 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective, while the NVIDIA part's is 1067 MHz with 8.5 Gbps effective. The NVIDIA part compensates with a much larger memory pool and a wider bus.

The compute architectures diverge in core composition. The RX 7650 GRE has 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 32 RT cores, with no tensor cores. The N1X 40SM has 5120 shading units, 320 TMUs, 40 ROPs, 40 RT cores, and 160 tensor cores. The NVIDIA part's shading unit count is 2.5 times higher, and its TMU count is 2.5 times higher. The AMD card has more ROPs, 64 versus 40. The NVIDIA part includes tensor cores, which the AMD card does not have at all.

Clock behavior also differs. The RX 7650 GRE has a base clock of 1720 MHz, a boost clock of 2695 MHz, and a game clock of 2350 MHz. The N1X 40SM has a base clock of 741 MHz and a boost clock of 2346 MHz, with no game clock listed. The AMD card's higher base frequency suggests it sustains performance better under load, while the NVIDIA part's low base clock and high boost clock indicate a wider frequency range typical of an IGP.

Specification Differences

The two cards differ across nearly every specification field. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE is a discrete dual-slot card measuring 204 mm in length and 115 mm in height. The NVIDIA N1X 40SM is an IGP with no dimensions listed. The AMD card requires a 1x 8-pin power connector and lists a 170 W TDP with a 450 W suggested PSU. The NVIDIA part has no power connectors, no TDP, and no suggested PSU.

The bus interfaces differ: the AMD card uses PCIe 4.0 x8, while the NVIDIA part uses PCIe 5.0 x16. The display outputs differ: the AMD card lists 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1, while the NVIDIA part lists only 1x HDMI. The API support differs completely: the AMD card lists DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, while the NVIDIA part lists N/A for all three.

The release dates differ, with the AMD card released on 2025-02-06 and the NVIDIA part on 2026-05-31. The AMD card has a predecessor (Navi II) and a successor (Navi IV), while the NVIDIA part lists neither. The AMD card has a launch MSRP of 279 USD, while the NVIDIA part has none listed, consistent with an IGP that ships as part of a platform rather than as a standalone product.

The memory capacity is the largest single specification gap: 8 GB on the AMD card versus 128 GB on the NVIDIA part. The shading unit count is similarly large: 2048 versus 5120. The FP32 throughput favors the NVIDIA part at 24.02 TFLOPS versus 22.08 TFLOPS, but the pixel rate favors AMD at 172.5 GPixel/s versus 93.84 GPixel/s.
