This latter chip should be a match for the RTX 3060 chips out there, and we can only hope that at a similar power package (since the AMD slides do not mention this important detail). That aside, AMD advertises the 6700M at 100+ fps at QHD resolution with High Settings, and the 6600M at 60+ fps at FHD resolution and Max Settings. We do have some gaming results for you down below, based on the data presented by AMD, and we’ve also covered the 6800M powered ROG Strix G15 Advantage in this separate article, which includes some benchmarks and gaming results.įor the most part, though, expect the 6800M to deliver 60+ fps at QHD resolution with maximum settings, and trade blows in performance with high-powered RTX 3070s and mid-powered 3080s. It’s difficult to properly judge the performance of these chips at this point, especially since the TGPs might vary between the different implementations. Ok, so here’s a quick summary of these Radeon RX 6000 options. They should also have a price advantage over their Nvidia-based piers, from what we know so far, and AMD promises there won’t be major compromises with these products, which will benefit from modern designs, good quality screens (144+ Hz, low latency, 300+ nits, and at least 100% sRGB), fast storage and long battery life, alongside the performance you’d expect from a 2021 gaming device. Nonetheless, I expect that laptops based on RX 6000 AMD graphics to be options worth at least considering with this generation, unlike in the past. Of course, you should always look past the marketing and check out detailed reviews in order to decide on the best product for your needs and within your budget.
AMD RADEON SOFTWARE
The majority of these products pair an AMD Ryzen processor with Radeon graphics, which also enables the AMD Advantage framework of software and hardware technologies meant to amplify your performance and everyday experience, such as SAM – Smart Acces Memory or SmartShift or Radeon Boost/Chill or FreeSync, among others. We’ll have a quick look at these chips down below and explain what they’re meant for, and then in the second part of the article, we’ll go through all the available/announced laptops to feature this sort of 2021 AMD graphics.
AMD RADEON 1080P
Radeon RX 6600M – designed for 1080p gaming, with a design power of up to 100W and meant for ultraportable designs.Radeon RX 6700M – designed for 1440p and 1080 gaming, with a design power of up to 135W, a more affordable mid-range chip.Radeon RX 6800S – designed for 1080p gaming in ultraportable performance notebooks, with a design power of up to 100W.
In all fairness, AMD mobile graphics have not been proper alternatives to the Nvidia mobile options up till now, but with RDNA2 that promises a 50% increase in performance and 40% reduction in power use, AMD laptop GPUs now stand a chance.
