| Core clock speed | 6 MHz | no data |
| Boost clock speed | 400 MHz | 1340 MHz |
| Number of transistors | 302 million | 5,700 million |
| Manufacturing process technology | 110 nm | 14 nm |
| Power consumption (TDP) | 35 Watt | 65-110 Watt |
| Texture fill rate | 6.400 | 155.1 |
Size and compatibility
Information on GeForce Go 7800 and Radeon RX 580X Mobile compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For notebook video cards it's notebook size, connection slot and bus, if the video card is inserted into a slot instead of being soldered to the notebook motherboard.
