Will take a good deal of time to understand how much of this is due to driver optimization vs a fundamental difference in performance. As the synthetic numbers are a lot closer, It would appear driver maturation is going to take a lot more time.

No reason not to wait for the official reviews and breakdown from the media as well as the independent folks. Looking forward to a 3-way supply. I have been waiting forever for a replacement to my GT1030...

AMD claims Radeon RX 6500M beats Intel's A370M by up to two times.
AMD Posts Intel Arc A370M vs. Radeon RX 6500M Benchmarks : Read more

Anyone know where the Radeon RX 6500M fit into AMD mobile GPU stack?, is it highest or lowest mobile GPU and as said in the article it is hard to compare the two if you do not list the power they used.

Nice article and hopefully with them being available in stores it should not be long before some independent reviews come out.
 
So under the 6500M there's a theoretical 6400M and the 600M or something series? Then you have iGPUs.

Also, can this be a 1st of April joke or something?

Anyway, no more specs and info from AMD, who cares XD

Regards.

Bottom, based on specs alone it's basically half of a 6600m (64-bit bus vs 128, 4 GB vs 8 GB, 1024 pipes vs 1792). It's clocked a little higher and on a newer node, but my guess is probably at least 15-30% reduction vs a 6600m. Probably puts the 6500m in the 1050/1060 range.

Actually there is a 6300M. Also, nothing is shipping with these 6500M/6300M chips yet as far as I can tell.

I'm not sure if this comparison of 6500M vs A370M is really apples to apples. The 6600M 75-100W for example compares favorably against a 3060 80-95W laptop GPU.
The 6500M should be a competitor to the 3050 laptop GPU. I don't get the impression that the A350M/A370M were meant to compete at that level.

More likely this chip is meant to compete against the 30W M450, which is about 6% below the 1650, or the 35W 6300M, which is about 18% below a 1650. The A370M is a 35W TDP part, while the 6500M is a 50W TDP part.
