AMD details RX 460 for Notebooks

With a similar performance to desktop version

AMD has revealed a few more details about its up and coming Radeon RX 460 Notebook GPU that will appear in a recently unveiled HP 15.6-inch Omen Limited Edition notebook and offer performance similar to the desktop part.

It appears that HP will get the dibs on AMD’s first Polaris-based mobile GPU that will power the recently unveiled 15.6-inch Omen Limited Edition notebook.

According to slide posted by AMD on its Radeon site, the performance of the Radeon RX 460 Notebook will be similar to the desktop version of the Radeon RX 460, with a difference of just a few frames per second, that can also be attributed to a weaker CPU on the HP Omen notebook.

The HP 15.6-inch Omen Limited Edition notebook was powered by Intel’s Core i5-6300 HQ CPU while the desktop configuration was running on Intel’s Core i7-6700K.

According to the same slide, RX 460 Notebook will be able to provide an average frame rate of over 40 FPS in most games and with a reasonable amount of eye candy. Of course, you can’t expect a lot from AMD’s smaller Polaris 11 GPU which packs 1024 Stream Processors, 48 TMUs and 16 ROPs and comes with 2GB of GDDR5 128-bit memory clocked at 7.0GHz.

Of course, we are looking forward to a more powerful Polaris 10-based mobile GPUs that may provide even better performance.
