  • Rendering and compute

    depends on the task

    Benchmark results disagree, so the choice depends on the specific task.

No comparable benchmarks yet: gaming: rasterization, gaming: ray tracing, power efficiency.

Advantages

Only measured and rated values: a noticeable benchmark gap and specs where more is better.

  • Shader units

    Clocks of different architectures do not reflect performance directly. For laptop chips, the clock depends on the laptop’s power limit.

    Excludes cache (Infinity Cache / L2), which affects effective bandwidth differently.

Power and dimensions

  • Board power

    A180 W (TDP)

    B120 W (TDP)

    A: 60 W higher

    TGP (NVIDIA) and TBP (AMD/Intel) are calculated differently; higher is not better. For laptops, the chip maker sets the range and the laptop maker picks the value, so the same chip behaves differently in different laptops.

  • Interface

    APCIe 3.0 x16

    Bno data

    no data for B

“More” does not always mean “better”: higher power draw or size is a system requirement, not an advantage (such bars are dimmed).
