Graphics Performance
The Radeon R7 M445 scores 947 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 3.0 (2014−2019) architecture (codename: Meso), manufactured on a 28 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 320 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 20 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 8 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 0.5888 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 920 MHz from a base of 780 MHz.
