AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D vs NVIDIA RTX Spark (MediaTek AHJ11488B) Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark results for the AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D versus the NVIDIA RTX Spark (MediaTek AHJ11488B). The Ryzen 5 7500X3D has a full set of recorded PassMark measurements, while the RTX Spark has no benchmark entries at all. Its average benchmark score is recorded as 0, and its percentile ranking sits at 50, which reflects an absence of measured data rather than a mid-pack performance level.

The Ryzen 5 7500X3D delivers an average benchmark score of 44,573, placing it in the 89th percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals are tightly clustered: the Intel Core Ultra X9 388H scores 44,466 (0.2% behind), the Intel Core i9-13950HX scores 44,342 (0.5% behind), the AMD Ryzen AI Max 385 scores 44,309 (0.6% behind), and the Intel Core i5-14600 scores 44,889 (0.7% ahead). The spread across all four rivals is just 1.3 percentage points, indicating that the 7500X3D sits in an extremely competitive performance band.

Within the individual PassMark workloads, the 7500X3D shows clear strengths. Its data compression score of 271,649 is by far the highest recorded metric, dwarfing its multithread score of 25,047 and its integer math score of 70,774. The floating point math result of 43,594 and the extended instructions score of 20,455 further characterize a processor that handles parallel workloads with consistency. Single-thread performance is recorded at 3,494, which is modest relative to the multithreaded results. The find prime numbers test returns 221, a low raw value but one that is typical for this type of integer workload. Random string sorting completes at 32,999, while data encryption finishes at 15,797 and physics simulation at 2,779.

The RTX Spark, by contrast, has no recorded scores for any workload. The absence of data means no comparison of wins or losses can be made. The database shows zero wins for each side in the head-to-head comparison, which is a direct consequence of the missing benchmark results for the NVIDIA part.

Q: What memory types do the two processors support?

A: The Ryzen 5 7500X3D supports DDR5 memory over a dual-channel bus with 83.2 GB/s of bandwidth and ECC support. The RTX Spark supports LPDDR5X memory over a quad-channel bus with 273.1 GB/s of bandwidth and no ECC support.

The Verdict

The data supports a straightforward conclusion. The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D is a fully measured, active desktop processor with a complete benchmark profile, an 89th percentile ranking, and a 44,573 average score. The NVIDIA RTX Spark is an unreleased mobile processor with zero recorded benchmarks, no average score, and no rival comparisons. Any selection between the two must be based on the fact that one has verified performance data and the other does not.

For workloads represented by the PassMark suite, the 7500X3D demonstrates a balanced profile. Its multithread score of 25,047 and integer math score of 70,774 indicate strong parallel throughput. The data compression result of 271,649 stands out as the dominant metric. The single-thread score of 3,494 is lower, but the processor still achieves a high overall percentile. The nearest rival cluster confirms that the 7500X3D performs at the level of recent Intel and AMD mobile and desktop parts, with deltas under 1% in all four cases.

The RTX Spark cannot be evaluated on performance grounds. Its 50th percentile ranking is a placeholder value, not a measurement. Its TDP of 38 watts is lower than the 7500X3D's 65 watts, and its memory bandwidth of 273.1 GB/s is higher than the 83.2 GB/s of the AMD part, but these specification advantages carry no weight without benchmark confirmation. The production status of unreleased further limits its relevance.

The Ryzen 5 7500X3D is the only processor in this comparison with recorded performance. The RTX Spark remains an unmeasured entry in the database.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every recorded specification field.

The Ryzen 5 7500X3D uses 6 cores and 12 threads, while the RTX Spark uses 20 cores and 20 threads. The AMD part has a base clock of 4.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.50 GHz. The NVIDIA part has a base clock of 1.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.00 GHz. Thermal design power differs: the 7500X3D is rated at 65 watts, the RTX Spark at 38 watts.

The 7500X3D uses AMD Socket AM5, while the RTX Spark has no socket listed. The AMD processor is built on a 5 nm process node at TSMC with 11,270 million transistors and a die size of 71 mm². The RTX Spark uses a 3 nm process node at TSMC, has no transistor count recorded, and a die size of 208 mm².

Cache configurations differ considerably. The 7500X3D has 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 96 MB of shared L3. The RTX Spark has 128 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3. Memory support differs as well: DDR5 with dual-channel and 83.2 GB/s for the AMD part, LPDDR5X with quad-channel and 273.1 GB/s for the NVIDIA part. ECC memory is supported on the 7500X3D but not on the RTX Spark.

The 7500X3D supports PCIe Gen 5 with 24 lanes (CPU only), while the RTX Spark lists PCIe as N/A. Integrated graphics differ: the AMD part uses Radeon Graphics, the NVIDIA part uses GB20B Blackwell. The market segment differs, desktop versus mobile. The 7500X3D is in active production, while the RTX Spark is unreleased. The AMD processor has a launch MSRP of $269; the RTX Spark has no launch MSRP recorded. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

Architecture Differences

The architectural split between the two parts is substantial. The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D belongs to the 7000 series and uses the Raphael codename. Its generation is listed as Ryzen 5 (Zen 4 (Raphael)). The RTX Spark uses the N1X codename and is listed under the Spark (GB10) generation. The AMD part is built on a 5 nm node at TSMC with a transistor count of 11,270 million and a 71 mm² die. The RTX Spark is built on a 3 nm node at TSMC with no recorded transistor count and a 208 mm² die.

The core architectures reflect different design goals. The 7500X3D uses 6 Zen 4 cores with simultaneous multithreading, producing 12 threads. Its L3 cache of 96 MB is the defining feature, far exceeding the 8 MB shared L3 on the RTX Spark. The RTX Spark uses 20 cores with no multithreading, resulting in 20 threads. Its L1 cache of 128 KB per core and L2 cache of 2 MB per core are larger on a per-core basis than the 7500X3D's 64 KB L1 and 1 MB L2, but the AMD part compensates with a much larger shared L3 pool.

Memory architecture also diverges. The 7500X3D uses a dual-channel DDR5 interface with 83.2 GB/s of bandwidth and ECC support. The RTX Spark uses a quad-channel LPDDR5X interface with 273.1 GB/s of bandwidth and no ECC support. The PCIe implementation differs as well: the 7500X3D provides Gen 5 with 24 CPU lanes, while the RTX Spark has no PCIe support listed.

The RTX Spark integrates a GB20B Blackwell graphics unit, while the 7500X3D integrates Radeon Graphics. The process node advantage goes to the RTX Spark at 3 nm versus 5 nm, and its die is nearly three times larger at 208 mm² versus 71 mm². The 7500X3D compensates with a much larger transistor count of 11,270 million, though the RTX Spark has no transistor figure recorded for comparison. The architectural profiles point to two very different designs: a high-cache desktop processor for AMD, and a low-power, high-bandwidth mobile processor for NVIDIA.
