AMD Entry-Level Radeon RX 6300 RDNA 2 Discrete GPU Gets Beaten By Radeon 780M RDNA 3 iGPU
AMD introduced its most entry-level discrete GPU, the Radeon RX 6300, last month but it looks like it gets beaten quite easily by the Radeon 780M iGPU.
The AMD Radeon RX 6300 was introduced as an entry-level solution for OEM & Pre-built PCs. It is a very basic design that comes in a single-slot HFHL form factor with an active cooling solution and is based on a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface.
In terms of specifications, the AMD Radeon RX 6300 makes use of the Navi 24 GPU with a total of 768 cores so it is the same core as the RX 6400 and the Radeon 780M RDNA 3 iGPUs featured on the upcoming Phoenix APUs. Other specifications reveal that the GPU is clocked at 1512 MHz, the memory is clocked at 2000 MHz & the card features 2 GB memory in a 32-bit bus configuration. This should provide up to 64 GB/s of bandwidth. The card should also get 16 MB of Infinity Cache.
Within the Geekbench 6 OpenCL benchmark, the AMD Radeon RX 6300 discrete graphics card got 25,608 points whereas the Radeon 780M RDNA 3 iGPU scores anywhere from around 35-40K in the same benchmark. We can take a recent entry from the ASUS TUF Gaming A15 laptop which showed up yesterday. The Radeon 780M sits up to 30% faster and why this is impressive because it is an iGPU.
The AMD Radeon RX 6300 discrete graphics card has a low TDP of just 32W & can offer additional displays to users who need them with AV1 encoding capabilities. AMD's Radeon 780M iGPU on the other hand is featured on the same silicon as the CPU cores on the Phoenix APUs and utilizes the brand new RDNA 3 architecture and also has AV1 capabilities. The RX 6300 retails close to $50-$60 US but is not officially available in the DIY segment with only a few retailers offering the card pulled from OEM systems.
