The AMD RX 6700M was intended to compete with NVIDIA’s midrange and upper midrange in such a tough laptop segment. Equipped with a Navi 22 chip although reduced in performance (the RX 6800M mounts the same die) one had to expect lower performance than this one, but at the height of the RTX 3070 MaxQ?
AMD RX 6700M for notebook surprises and arrives in three variants
The leaked evidence is very illuminating, but before we know it, let’s put ourselves in a situation. This GPU was accompanied by a Ryzen 9 5900HX, 16 GB of DDR4-3200 in single Rank and as already revealed, AMD gets 2304 Shaders, 2.3 GHz in Boost mode, a 160-bit bus to make a total of 10 GB of VRAM GDDR6 and the famous 80 MB of Infinity Cache.
The problem, as with NVIDIA, comes from the TDP. And it is that AMD has copied the strategy of diversifying this value so that each manufacturer can choose which version suits him according to the dissipation and the adjacent components that it includes.
So this AMD RX 6700M will arrive in three different flavors with TDPs of 135 watts, 110 watts and 80 watts. That said, the data we’ll see below is for the 110 watt version, but the average consumption was a bit higher (130 watts on average). It should also be noted that its rival only gets 80 watts as a limit figure, so the comparison is fair enough.
AMD surprises and beats NVIDIA, change of trend in laptops?
According to the data presented, the AMD RX 6700M is no less than 9% faster than the RTX 3070 MaxQ, where it endorses up to 30% in a fetish game like Hitman 2. It is true that it has 37 , 5% more than GAP. in terms of stock power consumption and it is also true that the 80 watt version of this model would be the fairest comparison possible, CPU and memory aside, but it shows that if the AMD GPU was not faster at minimum, they would surely be up to it.
If we focus on 3DMark Time Spy the data is really homogeneous, since the NVIDIA graphics card reaches no less than 9854 points for the 9837 points of the AMD. Are we therefore in a supposed parity for equal consumption in terms of performance?
What we’ve seen from AMD, which is little, seems to indicate this, so users who are considering buying a mid / high-end gaming laptop are likely to think twice before choosing an NVIDIA GPU, AMD is already really strong with this RX 6000M range.
