AMD Radeon RX 7600 vs NVIDIA N1X 48SM Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no shared benchmark results between the AMD Radeon RX 7600 and the NVIDIA N1X 48SM. The RX 7600 has ten recorded benchmark scores, while the N1X 48SM has none. Direct performance comparisons are therefore impossible from recorded data. The RX 7600 holds a 57th percentile ranking among all GPUs, while the N1X 48SM sits at the 50th percentile. The RX 7600 also carries an average benchmark score of 15171, whereas the N1X 48SM shows a recorded average of 0.

The RX 7600's nearest rivals in the database are instructive for positioning. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM averages 15199, which places the RX 7600 at 0.2 percent behind that card. The AMD Radeon Pro 560X averages 15082, putting the RX 7600 0.6 percent ahead. The AMD Radeon 680M averages 15270, with the RX 7600 trailing by 0.7 percent. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti averages 15063, and the RX 7600 leads it by 0.7 percent. These are narrow margins, indicating the RX 7600 clusters tightly with these four cards in aggregate performance.

Individual RX 7600 scores show where its strengths lie. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test returns 2310. Geekbench OpenCL returns 88051, while Geekbench Vulkan returns 34401. Passmark G3D returns 16634, and Passmark GPU Compute returns 8790. The Passmark legacy tests show 226 for DirectX 9, 172 for DirectX 11, 84 for DirectX 10, and 58 for DirectX 12. The Passmark G2D score is 984. These figures establish a baseline for the RX 7600 but offer no basis for head-to-head comparison with the N1X 48SM.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs represent entirely different design philosophies. The AMD Radeon RX 7600 uses the Navi 33 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, codenamed Hotpink Bonefish. It belongs to the Navi III generation (RX 7000 series). The NVIDIA N1X 48SM uses the GB20B chip built on Blackwell 2.0 architecture and belongs to the Blackwell IGP (N1x) generation. The RX 7600 is fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC, while the N1X 48SM uses a 5 nm process at TSMC.

Transistor counts and die sizes differ markedly. The RX 7600 contains 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 65.2 million per mm². The N1X 48SM has an unknown transistor count on a 382 mm² die, with no density figure recorded. The larger die for the N1X 48SM suggests a different integration strategy, consistent with its IGP (integrated graphics processor) classification.

Memory configurations diverge substantially. The RX 7600 uses 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, delivering 288.0 GB/s bandwidth. The N1X 48SM uses 128 GB of LPDDR5X on a 256-bit bus, delivering 273.2 GB/s bandwidth. The N1X 48SM has sixteen times the memory capacity, though its bandwidth is slightly lower at 273.2 GB/s versus 288.0 GB/s. Memory clocks also differ: the RX 7600 runs at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective), while the N1X 48SM runs at 1067 MHz (8.5 Gbps effective).

Compute resources tell a clear story. The RX 7600 has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 64 raster output units. It includes 32 ray tracing cores but no tensor cores. The N1X 48SM has 6144 shading units, 384 texture mapping units, and 48 raster output units. It includes 48 ray tracing cores and 192 tensor cores. The N1X 48SM triples the shading units and texture units, though it has fewer ROPs. The RX 7600's pixel rate is 169.9 GPixel/s versus 112.6 GPixel/s for the N1X 48SM. The texture rate favors the N1X 48SM: 900.9 GTexel/s versus 339.8 GTexel/s. FP32 compute also favors the N1X 48SM at 28.83 TFLOPS versus 21.75 TFLOPS for the RX 7600. Both deliver FP16 at a 1:1 ratio with FP32.

Clock speeds follow the expected pattern for discrete versus integrated designs. The RX 7600 has a base clock of 1720 MHz, a boost clock of 2655 MHz, and a game clock of 2250 MHz. The N1X 48SM has a base clock of 741 MHz and a boost clock of 2346 MHz, with no game clock recorded. The RX 7600's higher base clock reflects its dedicated power delivery, whereas the N1X 48SM's lower base clock suits an integrated context.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear divergence in use cases. The AMD Radeon RX 7600 is a discrete graphics card with an active production status, a 165 W TDP, dual-slot width, and a single 8-pin power connector. It requires a 450 W suggested power supply. It connects via PCIe 4.0 x8 and offers display outputs of 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1. Its API support includes DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The RX 7600 measures 204 mm in length and 115 mm in height. Its launch MSRP is 269 USD.

The NVIDIA N1X 48SM is classified as an IGP with no TDP recorded, no power connectors, and no suggested power supply. It connects via PCIe 5.0 x16 and offers a single HDMI output. Its API support is listed as N/A for DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan. The N1X 48SM has no dimensions recorded and no launch MSRP. Its production status is also active, with a release date later than the RX 7600.

For gaming workloads with established APIs, the RX 7600 is the only option with recorded benchmark data. Its DirectX 12 Ultimate support and Vulkan 1.4 compatibility make it suitable for modern titles. The N1X 48SM's N/A API ratings suggest limited software compatibility in current benchmarks. The RX 7600's higher pixel rate of 169.9 GPixel/s versus 112.6 GPixel/s also favors rasterization-heavy tasks.

For compute-heavy workloads, the N1X 48SM has the raw resources. Its 6144 shading units, 384 TMUs, and 192 tensor cores give it a substantial advantage in parallel throughput. Its FP32 output of 28.83 TFLOPS exceeds the RX 7600's 21.75 TFLOPS by a wide margin. The 128 GB memory capacity is unprecedented for a consumer GPU in the database, though its bandwidth is slightly lower.

Users prioritizing gaming compatibility and established driver support should favor the RX 7600. Users prioritizing raw compute throughput and memory capacity should favor the N1X 48SM. The RX 7600 sits at the 57th percentile with a 15171 average score; the N1X 48SM has no scores to verify its 50th percentile placement.
