Radeon VII vs GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop comparison

In our benchmarks, the Radeon VII beats the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Radeon VII has a slightly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. In addition, the Radeon VII also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 115 W when compared to the Radeon VII at 300 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Radeon VII over the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop.
