AMD’s Radeon RX 6300M has appeared in a pair of new Geekbench 5 test results with astonishing performance. Results in Volcano and OpenCL (via Benchleaks) benchmarks showed Nvidia’s previous generation MX450 mobile GPU
close to surpassing the Radeon RX 6300M.
AMD Radeon RX 6300M is an entry – level mobile graphics processor for its latest RDNA 2 range in specification. The graphics processor includes only 12 units of account for 768 cores on a shortened Navi 24 matrix. The video memory and Infinity Cache sizes are equally castrated, with a maximum supported capacity of just 2GB for main GDDR6 memory and a paltry 8MB of Infinity Cache.
AMD has reduced the clock speed to a considerable speed, with a maximum game frequency of only 1512 MHz in AMD’s reference specification. On the other hand, the power consumption of the graphics processor is very energy efficient at only 25 W or lower.
To demonstrate how weak the Radeon RX 6300M really is, AMD’s new Radeon 680M, an integrated graphics chip for the Ryzen 6000 rather than a discrete GPU, competes directly with the 6300M on several fronts. The Radeon 680M has the exact number of cores as the Radeon RX 6300M, but has a much better gain of 2.4 GHz. You can make a case for the Radeon RX 6300M with its faster GDDR6 memory, but the capacity of 2 GB will seriously complicate the Radeon RX 6300M in gaming applications.
HP Zhan 99 Pro G9 AIO system gave results from Geekbench 5. It had an Intel Core i7-12700 processor (Alder Lake) and 16 GB of memory. The Radeon RX 6300M is a strange combination, as it is a mobile graphics processor that accompanies a desktop chip.
The results of the Geekbench 5 OpenCL for the Radeon RX 6300M system managed to score 30,044 points and 24,371 points for the results of the Vulkan comparative test. These results are pretty bad for any modern graphics processor. The Radeon RX 6300M can barely surpass Nvidia’s Turing GPU-based MX450 in OpenCL, with the MX450 scoring 29,000 points. But the Radeon RX 6300M failed to beat the MX450 in the Vulkan score with a score of 24,688 points for Nvidia’s GPU.
Unfortunately, as we have seen in the past, Geekbench 5 is not the best benchmark for measuring game performance. So instead we need some gaming benchmarks to see how the Radeon RX 6300M compares to its Nvidia competitors.
