About AMD Radeon RX Vega 11
The AMD Radeon RX Vega 11 is an integrated graphics processor built on the GCN 5.0 architecture, fabricated on GlobalFoundries' 12 nm process. The chip, codenamed Picasso, integrates 4,940 million transistors on a 210 mm² die, achieving a transistor density of 23.5 million per square millimeter. Released on 2019-07-06, this part is now end-of-life, with a predecessor of GCN 3.0 IGP and a successor of Vega II IGP. Its benchmark performance places it at the 55th percentile among all GPUs, with an average score of 14314. The base clock is 300 MHz, and the boost clock reaches 1400 MHz, all within a 15 W TDP envelope.
Benchmark Performance
The average benchmark score of 14314 is the central data point. Breaking down the individual tests, the Geekbench Metal score is 16874, the Geekbench Vulkan score is 13543, and the Geekbench OpenCL score is 12525. The Metal result leads, while OpenCL trails by a significant margin, indicating that the architecture's performance is heavily API-dependent. The 55th percentile ranking shows that the RX Vega 11 outperforms just over half of all GPUs in the database, placing it squarely in the middle of the performance distribution. Against its nearest rivals, the differences are razor-thin. The delta versus the Intel Iris Xe MAX Graphics is 0%, meaning the two produce identical average scores. The RX Vega 11 holds a 0.2% advantage over the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER. However, it trails the AMD Radeon Vega 11 by 0.3% and the AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT by 0.5%. These deltas are so small that the RX Vega 11 is effectively a statistical peer of all four competitors. The FP32 throughput is 1.971 TFLOPS, while FP16 reaches 3.942 TFLOPS via a 2:1 ratio. This compute capability is modest, and the benchmark scores reflect a part that is competitive with entry-level discrete GPUs from a few generations ago.
Ray Tracing and Feature Set
The FACT PACK explicitly lists rtCores and tensorCores as null. Consequently, the RX Vega 11 has no dedicated ray tracing or tensor processing hardware. This means ray tracing workloads, if attempted, must be executed on the general-purpose shading units, which will result in poor performance compared to dedicated hardware. The feature set is instead defined by its API support: DirectX 12 (12_1), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3. The architecture is GCN 5.0, which is a compute-oriented design. The 704 shading units, 44 texture mapping units, and 8 raster output pipelines define the raw geometry and pixel throughput. The pixel rate is 11.20 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 61.60 GTexel/s. For users relying on Vulkan or DirectX 12, the support is present, but the absence of tensor cores means no hardware acceleration for AI-based features like DLSS. The FP16 throughput of 3.942 TFLOPS is double the FP32 rate, which could benefit certain compute workloads, but the lack of dedicated tensor cores limits its appeal for modern AI-driven graphics.
How It Compares
Intel Iris Xe MAX Graphics: The delta is 0%, so the RX Vega 11 and the Intel Iris Xe MAX Graphics deliver identical average scores. This makes them direct substitutes in systems where an IGP is required. The choice between them would come down to other system-level factors, as the GPU performance is indistinguishable.
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER: The RX Vega 11 is 0.2% ahead of this discrete GPU. This is a negligible lead, meaning the integrated solution can match an older discrete card in average benchmark terms. The GTX 1660 SUPER is a dedicated card, but the data shows the RX Vega 11 holds a slight edge.
AMD Radeon Vega 11: The RX Vega 11 is 0.3% behind this variant. The difference is within measurement noise, so they are effectively equivalent. This suggests that the "RX" branding does not confer a performance advantage over the standard Vega 11.
AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT: The RX Vega 11 trails by 0.5%. This is the largest deficit among the listed rivals, but it is still a very close margin. The RX 5500 XT is a discrete GPU, yet the integrated RX Vega 11 nearly matches it.
Power and Cooling
The TDP is 15 W, which is exceptionally low for a graphics processor. The slot width is listed as "IGP", and the bus interface is also "IGP", confirming its integrated nature. It requires no power connectors, as the power connectors field is "None". The suggested PSU is null, meaning no specific power supply recommendation is provided in the data. The 12 nm process and 15 W TDP make it suitable for compact, low-power systems, such as thin-and-light laptops or mini PCs. Cooling is handled by the motherboard or system integrator, as it is an integrated processor. The lack of a dedicated power connector means the motherboard's power delivery system is solely responsible for feeding this GPU. The 15 W figure is a key differentiator, as it allows the RX Vega 11 to operate without any active cooling in many chassis.

Who Should Consider It
Given its 55th percentile ranking and average score of 14314, the RX Vega 11 is positioned for entry-level computing. Its 15 W TDP makes it ideal for systems where power efficiency is critical. The benchmark results show it can handle light workloads and older games, but the lack of dedicated RT cores limits modern ray-traced titles. The Vulkan score of 13543 and Metal score of 16874 suggest it performs well in specific API environments. Users with motherboards that support this IGP will find it adequate for basic productivity and 1080p gaming at lower settings. However, because it is end-of-life, it is only relevant for existing platforms. The 704 shading units and 8 ROPs indicate that high-resolution gaming will be constrained by the memory subsystem, which is system dependent. For users who prioritize low power consumption and have modest performance needs, the RX Vega 11 remains a viable option, but its end-of-life status means it is not a target for new system builds.
Memory Subsystem
The memory size, type, and bus width are all listed as "System Shared". The bandwidth is "System Dependent", meaning performance scales directly with the host system's memory configuration. The memory clock is also "System Shared". The pixel rate is 11.20 GPixel/s and the texture rate is 61.60 GTexel/s, with 8 ROPs and 44 TMUs. For high resolutions, the shared memory architecture will bottleneck performance because the GPU must contend with the CPU for memory bandwidth. The FP32 output of 1.971 TFLOPS is the compute ceiling, but actual memory-bound workloads will fall short of that. The 8 ROPs limit pixel fill, which is evident in the 11.20 GPixel/s pixel rate. Because the bandwidth is system dependent, the actual performance of the RX Vega 11 can vary significantly between different host systems, making the benchmark scores a baseline rather than a fixed guarantee. This dependency is the primary limiter for demanding tasks, as the GPU cannot access dedicated high-speed VRAM.
