AMD Instinct MI350X vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains no head-to-head benchmark results for the AMD Instinct MI350X versus the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER. The MI350X carries an average benchmark score of zero and holds no listed benchmark entries, while the RTX 4070 SUPER has ten recorded tests. This makes a direct score-by-score comparison impossible from the available data. The RTX 4070 SUPER achieves an average benchmark score of 43,223 across its suite, placing it in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs tracked. The MI350X sits at the 50th percentile, a position that reflects the absence of measured results rather than measured performance.

What the data does show is the RTX 4070 SUPER's standing against its nearest rivals. It trails the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB by 0.1 percent (43,262 vs 43,223), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile by 0.1 percent (43,268 vs 43,223), the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 by 0.2 percent (43,301 vs 43,223), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile by 1 percent (43,667 vs 43,223). These delta values are narrow, indicating the RTX 4070 SUPER performs essentially at parity with those four products in aggregate scoring.

The RTX 4070 SUPER's individual test results reveal its strengths. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 it scores 4,627. Geekbench OpenCL yields 172,795, while Geekbench Vulkan reaches 205,624. Passmark results vary widely by test: DirectX 9 records 344, DirectX 11 records 273, DirectX 12 records 110, and DirectX 10 records 167. The G2D score is 1,184, the G3D score is 29,995, and the GPU compute score is 17,108. These figures confirm a capable gaming and compute part, but they cannot be weighed against the MI350X because the MI350X has no comparable entries.

The absence of MI350X benchmarks is itself a meaningful finding. The database records zero wins for the MI350X and zero wins for the RTX 4070 SUPER in head-to-head testing, which means neither product has a victory count to cite. For the MI350X, the zero average score and empty benchmark array indicate that no standardized workloads have been logged. This is consistent with its positioning as a purpose-built accelerator rather than a consumer graphics card, but the benchmark database treats it as a GPU with no measured output. The RTX 4070 SUPER, by contrast, has a full suite of results that anchor its percentile ranking.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs diverge sharply at the architectural level. The AMD Instinct MI350X uses the CDNA 4.0 architecture with a chip labeled "MI350 256CU," built on a 3 nm process at TSMC. It packs 185,000 million transistors into a 2,380 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 77.7 million per square millimeter. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER uses the Ada Lovelace architecture with the AD104 chip, built on a 5 nm process also at TSMC. Its transistor count is 35,800 million on a 294 mm² die, producing a density of 121.8 million per square millimeter. The MI350X has over five times the transistors and roughly eight times the die area, but the RTX 4070 SUPER packs transistors more densely.

Shading unit counts reinforce the scale difference. The MI350X carries 16,384 shading units, 1,024 texture mapping units, and no ROPs (recorded as zero). The RTX 4070 SUPER has 7,168 shading units, 224 TMUs, and 80 ROPs. The MI350X also includes no RT cores or tensor cores in its listed specifications, while the RTX 4070 SUPER has 56 RT cores and 224 tensor cores. The MI350X's texture rate reaches 2,252.8 GTexel/s versus 554.4 GTexel/s for the RTX 4070 SUPER, a 4x advantage in that metric. Its FP32 compute is 72.09 TFLOPS, exactly double the RTX 4070 SUPER's 35.48 TFLOPS, and FP16 matches at 72.09 TFLOPS (1:1) versus 35.48 TFLOPS (1:1).

Where Each One Wins

Based strictly on the recorded data, the AMD Instinct MI350X wins in raw compute scale. Its FP32 performance of 72.09 TFLOPS doubles the RTX 4070 SUPER's 35.48 TFLOPS, and its FP16 output matches at 72.09 TFLOPS versus 35.48 TFLOPS. Its texture rate of 2,252.8 GTexel/s is 4 times the RTX 4070 SUPER's 554.4 GTexel/s. Memory capacity favors the MI350X overwhelmingly: 288 GB versus 12 GB, with a bus width of 8,192 bits versus 192 bits, and bandwidth of 8.19 TB/s versus 504.2 GB/s. The MI350X also uses a newer 3 nm process versus 5 nm, and a newer PCIe generation (5.0 vs 4.0).

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER wins in areas tied to consumer functionality. It has 80 ROPs and a pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s, whereas the MI350X has 0 ROPs and 0 MPixel/s. It includes 56 RT cores and 224 tensor cores, which the MI350X lacks entirely. It supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, while the MI350X has no API support listed. It has display outputs (HDMI and DisplayPort), while the MI350X has none. The RTX 4070 SUPER also boosts to a higher clock: 2,475 MHz versus 2,200 MHz, and its base clock of 1,980 MHz is nearly double the MI350X's 1,000 MHz. Its transistor density is higher at 121.8M per mm² versus 77.7M per mm².

The RTX 4070 SUPER holds the only benchmark results in the comparison. Its average score of 43,223 and 83rd percentile ranking come from real tests, while the MI350X has a 50th percentile and zero average score. The RTX 4070 SUPER's nearest rival deltas (all within 1 percent) indicate it performs consistently with other high-end GPUs. The MI350X has no such evidence in the database, so its wins are purely specification-based. The RTX 4070 SUPER's wins are both specification-based and benchmark-verified.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear split between two different product categories. The AMD Instinct MI350X is an accelerator with no display outputs, no consumer API support, and a thermal/power profile of 1,000 W, requiring a 1,400 W PSU. It targets workloads that need massive memory capacity (288 GB HBM3e) and extreme bandwidth (8.19 TB/s), with compute density that the RTX 4070 SUPER cannot approach in raw FP32 or texture throughput. Its CDNA 4.0 architecture and 3 nm process suggest a design focused on throughput, not graphics output. The database records no benchmarks for it, which means its 50th percentile ranking is a placeholder, not a performance verdict.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is a consumer graphics card with verified performance. Its 83rd percentile and average score of 43,223 come from ten recorded tests, and its nearest rivals (Quadro M6000 24 GB, RTX 5050 Mobile, Quadro M6000, RTX 4090 Mobile) all fall within 1 percent of its score. It delivers 35.48 TFLOPS FP32, 198.0 GPixel/s, and supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Its 220 W power draw, dual-slot cooling, and display outputs make it a functional graphics card for standard systems. It is end-of-life, and its successor is GeForce 50.

For a user choosing between these two, the decision rests on workload type. The MI350X suits compute-heavy environments that can accommodate an OAM module with no video output and a 1,000 W power draw, where 288 GB of HBM3e and 8.19 TB/s bandwidth are the defining resources. The RTX 4070 SUPER suits any scenario requiring real-time graphics, ray tracing, tensor acceleration, or standard API compatibility, backed by measurable benchmark scores. The MI350X has no benchmark evidence to support a gaming or general graphics claim; the RTX 4070 SUPER has no memory capacity or bandwidth to support large-scale data residency. Both products win where their specifications align, but only the RTX 4070 SUPER has recorded performance data to validate its position.
