AMD Radeon 840M vs NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains benchmark results for the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell, while the AMD Radeon 840M has no benchmark entries in the database. Consequently, direct head-to-head comparisons rely on the RTX PRO 4500's measured scores and its position against its nearest rivals, rather than side-by-side tests between the two products.

The RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell delivers a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 7,025. In Geekbench Vulkan, it records 221,768 points. PassMark results show a G3D score of 33,360, a GPU compute score of 19,255, and legacy DirectX scores of 204 (DX10), 320 (DX11), 119 (DX12), and 397 (DX9). The G2D score is 1,336. Its average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 31,532.

The RTX PRO 4500's nearest rivals in the database are the NVIDIA TITAN RTX with an average score of 31,676 (a delta of -0.5%, meaning the RTX PRO 4500 trails by half a percent), the Intel Arc Pro A30M at 31,894 (delta -1.1%), the NVIDIA GRID M60-1Q at 31,220 (delta +1%), and the NVIDIA Quadro M5000 at 31,206 (delta +1%). The data indicates the RTX PRO 4500 sits squarely within a tight performance cluster, within roughly one percent of each rival in either direction.

For the AMD Radeon 840M, the database lists zero benchmark scores and an average benchmark score of 0. Its percentile versus all GPUs is 50, while the RTX PRO 4500 sits at the 76th percentile. The wins tally shows 0 for the 840M and 0 for the RTX PRO 4500 in head-to-head tests, reflecting the absence of paired benchmark data.

Without recorded scores for the 840M, the numeric comparison is one-sided. The RTX PRO 4500's texture rate is 789.5 GTexel/s, and its pixel rate is 269.6 GPixel/s. The 840M's theoretical rates are 46.40 GTexel/s and 23.20 GPixel/s. These figures come from the specification fields, not benchmark runs. The fp32 compute for the RTX PRO 4500 is 50.53 TFLOPS, while the 840M lists 1,484.8 GFLOPS. Every measurable metric in the database favors the RTX PRO 4500 by a wide margin, but the lack of actual benchmark data for the 840M prevents a definitive performance delta.

The Verdict

Based strictly on recorded data, the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell is the only product in this comparison with benchmark results. Its average score of 31,532 places it at the 76th percentile among all GPUs in the database. The AMD Radeon 840M has no benchmark entries, an average score of 0, and a 50th percentile ranking, which reflects its position as an integrated graphics processor rather than a measured performance level.

The RTX PRO 4500 is a dual-slot, 200 W add-in board with 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth. It uses a 16-pin power connector and recommends a 550 W power supply. The 840M is an IGP with system-shared memory, no power connectors, and a 15 W power envelope. These specification differences align with their intended deployment classes: the RTX PRO 4500 for discrete workstation workloads, the 840M for portable integrated graphics.

Who should pick which: the data supports the RTX PRO 4500 for any task requiring the recorded benchmark capabilities, including 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 at 7,025, Vulkan compute at 221,768, and PassMark G3D at 33,360. The 840M has no measured scores to justify a performance claim. Users seeking an integrated solution with minimal power draw and no discrete cooling requirements may consider the 840M based on its 15 W TDP and IGP form factor, but the database provides no quantitative evidence of its speed.

Where Each One Wins

NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell:

The recorded benchmarks show wins in every measured category. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 7,025 indicates strong DirectX 12 gaming and workstation performance. The Geekbench Vulkan score of 221,768 demonstrates high compute throughput. PassMark G3D at 33,360 and GPU compute at 19,255 confirm general and compute-heavy workloads. The 32 GB GDDR7 memory with 896.0 GB/s bandwidth supports large datasets and high-resolution textures. The 82 RT cores and 328 tensor cores provide hardware acceleration for ray tracing and AI workloads. The dual-slot form factor and 200 W TDP allow sustained performance in desktop workstation configurations.

AMD Radeon 840M:

The database records no benchmark wins for the 840M. Its advantages are structural rather than measured. The 15 W TDP makes it suitable for low-power portable devices where discrete power delivery is absent. The IGP form factor means no additional slot space or power connectors are required. The 4 nm process node is smaller than the RTX PRO 4500's 5 nm node, though the 840M's transistor count and die size are unknown. The 400 MHz base clock and 2900 MHz boost clock are specified, but without benchmark data, performance cannot be quantified. The system-shared memory architecture allows flexible allocation but ties performance to system RAM speed.

The data divides cleanly: the RTX PRO 4500 wins on every recorded metric, while the 840M's only advantages are its lower power draw and integrated form factor, neither of which appears in benchmark scores.

Specification Differences

The two products differ across nearly every specification field. The process nodes differ: 4 nm for the 840M versus 5 nm for the RTX PRO 4500, both from TSMC. Transistor data is unknown for the 840M, while the RTX PRO 4500 lists 45,600 million transistors on a 378 mm² die with a density of 120.6M per mm².

Clock speeds differ significantly. The 840M has a base clock of 400 MHz and a boost of 2900 MHz. The RTX PRO 4500 has a base of 1635 MHz and a boost of 2407 MHz. Memory configurations are entirely different: the 840M uses system-shared memory of unspecified size and type, while the RTX PRO 4500 uses 32 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus with 896.0 GB/s bandwidth.

Compute resources differ by orders of magnitude. The 840M has 256 shading units, 16 TMUs, 8 ROPs, and 4 RT cores, with no tensor cores. The RTX PRO 4500 has 10,496 shading units, 328 TMUs, 112 ROPs, 82 RT cores, and 328 tensor cores. The fp32 performance is 1,484.8 GFLOPS for the 840M versus 50.53 TFLOPS for the RTX PRO 4500. Pixel rates are 23.20 GPixel/s versus 269.6 GPixel/s, and texture rates are 46.40 GTexel/s versus 789.5 GTexel/s.

Power and physical specifications diverge. The 840M has a 15 W TDP, IGP slot width, no power connectors, and no suggested PSU. The RTX PRO 4500 has a 200 W TDP, dual-slot width, a 1x 16-pin power connector, and a 550 W suggested PSU. The 840M uses PCIe 4.0 x8, while the RTX PRO 4500 uses PCIe 5.0 x16. Display outputs are portable-device-dependent for the 840M, versus 4x DisplayPort 2.1b for the RTX PRO 4500. The RTX PRO 4500's dimensions are 267 mm length, 111 mm height, and 40 mm width; the 840M lists no dimensions.

Release dates differ by about three weeks: 2025-02-28 for the 840M and 2025-03-17 for the RTX PRO 4500. Both are Active in production status. API support is identical: DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The predecessors differ: Navi II IGP for the 840M and Workstation Ada for the RTX PRO 4500. Neither product has a successor listed.
