About AMD Radeon HD 7530M
The AMD Radeon HD 7530M is an end-of-life mobile GPU from the London (HD 7500M) generation, built around the Thames chip on TSMC's 40 nm process. The database records 716 million transistors on a 118 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 6.1M per square millimeter. Its release date is 2012-01-06. The lineage fields list Vancouver as the predecessor and Solar System as the successor. The GPU sits at the 50th percentile against all GPUs, although the benchmarks array is empty and the average benchmark score is recorded as 0.
Benchmark Performance
The benchmark record for this Radeon is empty. The benchmarks array contains no entries, the average benchmark score is 0, and the nearestRivals list has no entries. There are no application scores, no synthetic test results, and no deltaPct values to analyze. The only aggregate comparison available is the percentileVsAllGpus value of 50, placing the GPU at the midpoint of the database's all-GPU ranking. Because the benchmarks array is empty, that percentile should be interpreted as a database position rather than as a measured performance figure.
What the database does include are raw throughput specifications. The GPU has 400 shading units, 20 texture mapping units, and 8 ROPs. FP32 throughput is rated at 360.0 GFLOPS. Texture fill is listed at 9.000 GTexel/s, and pixel fill is listed at 3.600 GPixel/s. These are peak theoretical rates, describing what the shader and fill pipelines can achieve before memory bandwidth or workload overhead is considered. No base, boost, or game clock is populated for the core, so these rates are the only compute-speed figures in the record. FP16 throughput is not listed. Without benchmark scores, the database does not show how 360.0 GFLOPS and the fill rates convert into real-world frame rates. The lack of entries is the defining feature of the performance data: the theoretical pipeline values exist, but measured results do not.
Power and Cooling
The power data is minimal but specific. The TDP is 11 W, the only power figure in the database. The suggested PSU field is not populated, and no power connector is listed. There is also no slot width or dimension data, which fits the GPU's mobile positioning. The display outputs field reads "Portable Device Dependent," meaning the physical display connectivity is defined by the host portable device rather than by a fixed set of GPU ports. The bus interface is PCIe 2.0 x16, providing the data link between the GPU and the rest of the system.
An 11 W TDP is a low thermal load, though the database does not specify the actual cooler or thermal solution. The manufacturing data shows a 40 nm TSMC chip with 716 million transistors and a die size of 118 mm². The 11 W figure is the only thermal constraint a platform must satisfy according to this record. No other power or cooling numbers are present, so the power section is essentially a single number: 11 W, with no PSU or connector requirements listed.
Ray Tracing and Feature Set
The Ray Tracing and Feature Set data is shaped by the architecture. The GPU is built on AMD's TeraScale 2 architecture, under the chip name Thames, and belongs to the London (HD 7500M) generation. Supported APIs in the database are DirectX 11.2 with the 11_0 feature level and OpenGL 4.4. Vulkan is not listed. The bus interface is PCIe 2.0 x16, and the display outputs are portable-device dependent, so no fixed display connector set is recorded.
The fields for RT cores and tensor cores are both null, meaning the database contains no dedicated ray tracing or tensor hardware data for this GPU. The feature emphasis, based on the record, is the TeraScale 2 programmable pipeline alongside DirectX 11.2 support. With a 2012 release date, the API list reflects the software environment recorded for this part. The absence of a Vulkan entry means there is no Vulkan capability data in the database. The feature set is therefore defined by the 400 shading units, 20 TMUs, 8 ROPs, and the listed APIs rather than by dedicated ray tracing hardware.
How It Compares
The nearestRivals array is empty. There are no rival names, no rival scores, and no deltaPct values in the fact pack, so no percentage comparisons against competing GPUs can be written. There is no measurable comparison to any specific product in the current record. The only comparative data points are the 50th percentile against all GPUs and the lineage fields.
In the database lineage, Vancouver is listed as the predecessor and Solar System as the successor. Those are product labels, not benchmark scores, so they establish chronology rather than performance. The generation label London (HD 7500M) is the family grouping. With no nearestRivals entries, the database position rests entirely on the 50th percentile: the GPU sits at the median of the all-GPU ranking, although the empty benchmarks array leaves that rank without a supporting score. A direct performance comparison is not possible from the current data.
Memory Subsystem
The memory subsystem is fully specified. The GPU uses 1024 MB of DDR3 VRAM on a 64-bit bus. The memory clock is 900 MHz, with an effective data rate of 1800 Mbps. That configuration produces a bandwidth of 14.40 GB/s. For high-resolution workloads, 14.40 GB/s is the key limiting number: it sets the rate at which texture data, geometry data, and framebuffer operations can move between memory and the GPU's 400 shading units.
The 1024 MB framebuffer is a fixed capacity in the record. It limits how much data can remain resident while a frame is being rendered. The 64-bit bus is the path that generates the 14.40 GB/s figure. The database does not list any alternative memory configuration, so 1024 MB, DDR3, 64 bit, 900 MHz, 1800 Mbps effective, and 14.40 GB/s are the only memory options on file. The 900 MHz memory clock is the only frequency listed anywhere in the clock fields, since core clock values are absent. In practical terms, the memory data indicates that bandwidth and capacity are likely to be tighter constraints than the GPU's raw compute rates when resolution increases. With a pixel rate of 3.600 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 9.000 GTexel/s, the GPU can generate work quickly, but the 14.40 GB/s memory path is what feeds that work and carries the results.
