Radeon RX 5600 vs GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU is faster than the Radeon RX 5600 in gaming.

The Radeon RX 5600 has a slightly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. Despite this, the GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

As stated by the manufacturer, the Radeon RX 5600 has slightly more memory with 6 GiB of memory compared to 5.97 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop is faster than the Radeon RX 5600.
