The AMD Radeon HD 7650A is a TeraScale 2 part from the All-In-One (HD 7000) generation, built on TSMC's 40 nm process. The Onega chip packs 716 million transistors on a 118 mm² die, a density of 6.1 million transistors per square millimeter. It ships with 1024 MB of DDR3 on a 128-bit bus, a memory clock of 900 MHz (1800 Mbps effective), and 28.80 GB/s of bandwidth. Its fixed-function and compute resources include 480 shading units, 24 texture units, and 8 ROPs, with peak rates of 576.0 GFLOPS FP32, 14.40 GTexel/s, and 4.800 GPixel/s. In Geekbench OpenCL, the card scores 1589, which is also its average benchmark score, placing it at the 8th percentile among all GPUs.
Who Should Consider It
The data positions the HD 7650A at the low end of the GPU performance distribution. A Geekbench OpenCL score of 1589 and an 8th percentile rank indicate that this is not a candidate for high-resolution, high-detail 3D rendering. The 4.800 GPixel/s pixel rate and 14.40 GTexel/s texture rate create a low fill-rate ceiling; workloads that demand heavy pixel shading or large texture sets will hit these limits quickly. The 1024 MB frame buffer and 28.80 GB/s memory bandwidth further restrict texture-heavy scenarios, so modest texture detail and lower resolutions are the realistic operating range.
The 33 W TDP and MXM Module slot width, together with the MXM-A (3.0) bus interface, point strongly toward compact all-in-one systems where space and power budgets are tight. Display outputs are Portable Device Dependent, meaning the host chassis controls what displays can be attached, not the graphics card itself. This makes the HD 7650A a candidate for legacy desktop work, basic video output, or older applications that do not need modern graphics features. It is not suited to software that expects Vulkan or hardware ray tracing; the supported API set is DirectX 11.2 (11_0) and OpenGL 4.4, so the intended environment is the DX11/OpenGL era. Users targeting current high-detail titles should look elsewhere; benchmark results show this GPU below the vast majority of the database.
Ray Tracing and Feature Set
There are no RT cores and no tensor cores listed for the HD 7650A. Consequently, hardware-accelerated ray tracing and tensor-style AI workloads are entirely outside its feature set. The architecture is TeraScale 2, and the card provides 480 shading units, 24 texture units, and 8 ROPs. The API support is DirectX 11.2 (11_0) and OpenGL 4.4; Vulkan is not present. This limits the card to DX11-era and OpenGL-based software, and it cannot run applications whose minimum graphics path depends on Vulkan. The raw throughput figures — 576.0 GFLOPS FP32, 14.40 GTexel/s, and 4.800 GPixel/s — reinforce that this is a legacy feature set designed around fill-rate-limited or shader-light workloads, not modern compute or ray-traced rendering.
Benchmark Performance
The only reported benchmark result is Geekbench OpenCL, where the HD 7650A scores 1589. Its average benchmark score is also 1589, so the database shows no run-to-run spread. The percentile rank of 8 places it in the bottom decile of all GPUs, which is more meaningful than the narrow margins seen against its nearest rivals.
Against the nearest rivals, the performance deltas are small. The NVIDIA Quadro K600 has an average score of 1590 and a deltaPct of -0.1, meaning the HD 7650A is essentially tied but just behind. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 8 GB posts an average score of 1577, with a deltaPct of 0.8, so the HD 7650A is 0.8% ahead of that part in this specific OpenCL test. The AMD FirePro V3900 scores 1564, a deltaPct of 1.6, and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 620 scores 1560, a deltaPct of 1.9. The largest delta across the entire nearest-rival group is only 1.9%, meaning all five cards are clustered within a narrow score band.
The raw compute data gives context for that clustering. The HD 7650A's FP32 throughput is 576.0 GFLOPS, its texture rate is 14.40 GTexel/s, and its pixel rate is 4.800 GPixel/s. These ceilings set hard limits on shader-heavy, texture-heavy, and pixel-heavy tasks respectively. The memory subsystem — 1024 MB DDR3, 128-bit bus, 28.80 GB/s — is another boundary. In OpenCL workloads that are memory-bound, the 28.80 GB/s bandwidth can be a tighter constraint than the 576.0 GFLOPS compute peak. The benchmark deltas show that the HD 7650A is competitive with the listed rivals at this particular test, but the 8th percentile rank against all GPUs shows it is still positioned near the bottom of the broader performance distribution.
