Detailed breakdown of Radeon R6 M340DX specifications and capabilities.
Graphics Performance
The Radeon R6 M340DX scores 1,800 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Entry Level tier as a Legacy generation graphics card. It is built on the GCN 1.0 (2012−2020) architecture (codename: Jet), manufactured on a 28 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 384 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 24 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 8 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 0.791 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1030 MHz from a base of 955 MHz.
