Graphics Performance

The Radeon 740M scores 3,045 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Entry Level tier as a Recent generation graphics card. It is built on the RDNA 3.0 (2022−2026) architecture (codename: Phoenix2), manufactured on a 4 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 256 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 16 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 8 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 2.867 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 2800 MHz from a base of 800 MHz.
