If you’re interested in AMD’s laptop GPUs, there’s good news. AMD is expanding its Radeon 6000 lineup for laptops by the inclusion of eight new mobile graphics cards to the existing three (the RX 6800M, 6700M, and 6600M). These new GPUs will offer something for everyone such as high-end power or something lighter and more efficient.
New Additions to the Radeon 6000M Series
The new lineup includes five additional Radeon 6000M GPUs: RX 6850M XT, 6650M XT, 6650M, 6500M, and 6300M. These join the current RX 6800M, 6700M, and 6600M, giving you more choices to fit your needs and budget.
At the top of the range is the RX 6850M XT. It’s AMD’s most powerful mobile GPU with faster speeds and more memory throughput than the RX 6800M. The card has a quicker throughput (432 GB/s versus 384 GB/s) and a faster memory pace (18 Gbps vs 16 Gbps). It runs at 2463 MHz (compared to 2300 MHz for the 6800M) and has a higher power limit of 165 watts – a solid build for gamers who need maximum performance.
The RX 6650M and 6650M XT offer upgrades over the RX 6600M, with faster clock speeds and more memory capacity. The non-XT clocks in at 2222 MHz while the 6600M runs at 2177 MHz frequency. The XT version, on the other hand, has a lower clock speed of 2162 MHz which is most probably the result of the device’s larger compute unit count of 32 as compared to 28.
Meanwhile, the RX 6500M and 6300M are lighter options. The RX 6500M has 16 compute units, 4GB of memory, and low power consumption at just 50 watts. The RX 6300M is even lighter, with 12 compute units and 2GB of memory, using only 25 watts of power.
Finally, limited solutions based on 6nm process nodes are available for performance cards, as opposed to the 7nm used by the other cards. At 2191 MHz, each of the Radeon RX 6500M’s 16 compute units is clocked. There is even a 128-bit interface with 16MB infinite cache, but only 4GB of memory with a speed of 288 GB/s at the consumption of 50W power.
Just 12 computing units are used in the RX 6300M with a clock speed of 1512 MHz. With a 128-bit interface, 8MB infinite cache, and 2GB memory at 18 Gbps. Which has a TGP of 25W and a frequency of 288 GB/s. So a moderate standalone solution for laptops is available with a less capable GPU with reduced power consumption.
Radeon 6000S Series is Designed for Thin and Light Laptops
With its Radeon RX 6000s series, AMD is targeting the small and light market with its graphics processing units (GPUs). The Radeon RX 6800S, 6700S, and 6600S are the three new mobile GPUs. The initial range will be the same as their original 6000M range, thus it can be expanded in the future, just like the mobile range has been expanded previously.
It’s the same 7nm process used for the performance cards. RX 6800S has a 128-bit interface, 32 MB of infinite cache, and 32 CUs running at 1975 MHz with 8GB of memory. At only 100W, the card’s maximum power consumption is limited by the data transfer rate, which makes it a less powerful but more energy-efficient option.
At the time of this writing, the RX 6700S has 28 compute units functioning at 1890MHz, as well as 8GB of DDR3 RAM and 32MB of infinite cache on board with a memory bandwidth of 224 GB/s and power consumption of 80 watts. With 28 compute units and 4GB of memory at 15 Gbps, the RX 6600S has a maximum clock speed of 1881 MHz and 28 compute units. It has a TGP of 80W in addition to 32 MB of infinite cache and 224 GB/s of bandwidth.
With these additions, AMD is giving laptop users more performance options than ever for a variety of computing needs. Small notebooks can now get separate moderate GPUs from thin and light choices. And with CES coming up, AMD might have even more surprises in store.
