Graphics Performance

The Radeon 780M scores 6,906 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Budget tier as a Recent generation graphics card. It is built on the RDNA 3.0 (2022−2026) architecture (codename: Phoenix), manufactured on a 4 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 768 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 48 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 32 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 8.909 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 2900 MHz from a base of 800 MHz.
