Graphics Performance

The Radeon 860M scores 4,838 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Budget tier as a Current Gen generation graphics card. It is built on the RDNA 3.5 (2024−2025) architecture (codename: Krackan Point), manufactured on a 4 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 512 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 32 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 8 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 3.072 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 3000 MHz from a base of 600 MHz.
