Pros & cons summary

Performance score	16.65	17.55
Recency	4 January 2022	22 March 2022
Maximum RAM amount	2 GB	4 GB
Chip lithography	6 nm	8 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	35 Watt	60 Watt

RX 6300M has a 33.3% more advanced lithography process, and 71.4% lower power consumption.

RTX A500 Mobile, on the other hand, has a 5.4% higher aggregate performance score, an age advantage of 2 months, and a 100% higher maximum VRAM amount.

Given the minimal performance differences, no clear winner can be declared between Radeon RX 6300M and RTX A500 Mobile.

Be aware that Radeon RX 6300M is a notebook graphics card while RTX A500 Mobile is a mobile workstation one.
