AMD Radeon RX 6650M — Benchmarks & Specs
Short answer: the AMD Radeon RX 6650M generates 48.2 tokens/sec on llama2:7b (q4_0) under llama.cpp in a single cited run, per llama.cpp GitHub; there are too few comparable runs on file for a median.
Bottom line: how fast is the Radeon RX 6650M?
At 1440p Medium, the Radeon RX 6650M averages 45 fps in Red Dead Redemption 2, per Notebookcheck. For local LLM inference it generates 48.2 tokens/sec running llama2:7b at q4_0 under llama.cpp, per llama.cpp GitHub. In 3DMark Fire Strike Graphics it scores 25,739 points, per Notebookcheck.
Every figure above is a row in the tables below, and each row links out to the review or public benchmark database the number was taken from. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.
