AMD Radeon Pro 5300 vs NVIDIA T600 Mobile Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains two direct benchmark comparisons between the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 and the NVIDIA T600 Mobile. In both tests, the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 emerges as the winner. The first test, Geekbench OpenCL, shows the AMD part scoring 38,747 against the NVIDIA part’s 35,486. This translates to a 9.2% advantage for the AMD Radeon Pro 5300. The second test, Geekbench Vulkan, reveals a larger gap. The AMD Radeon Pro 5300 scores 35,793, while the NVIDIA T600 Mobile manages 30,211. This represents an 18.5% lead for the AMD part. In a broader context, the AMD Radeon Pro 5300’s average benchmark score of 40,870 places it in the 82nd percentile of all GPUs, while the NVIDIA T600 Mobile’s average of 32,849 places it in the 77th percentile.

Looking at the AMD Radeon Pro 5300’s nearest rivals in the database, its average score of 40,870 is remarkably close to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, which averages 41,187, a difference of only 0.8%. It also sits just 1.2% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 and 1.4% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro 580. The data indicates that the AMD part performs in a tier substantially above its direct competitor here. For the NVIDIA T600 Mobile, its average score of 32,849 is nearly identical to the NVIDIA P104-100, which averages 32,982, a difference of 0.4%. It is also 0.8% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 590 GME and 0.9% ahead of the AMD FirePro S9300 X2. The NVIDIA T600 Mobile’s closest rival in the database, the NVIDIA T550 Mobile, averages 33,161, which is 0.9% higher, suggesting the T600 Mobile is at the lower end of its immediate performance cluster.

The Geekbench OpenCL result is particularly informative. The AMD Radeon Pro 5300’s 9.2% advantage in this compute-oriented workload aligns with its higher raw compute specifications. The Geekbench Vulkan result amplifies this, with the AMD part extending its lead to 18.5%. This suggests that the AMD architecture handles the Vulkan API particularly well relative to the NVIDIA part. The data shows a clear and consistent performance hierarchy: the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 outpaces the NVIDIA T600 Mobile in every recorded benchmark, with the margin growing in the Vulkan test.

The Verdict

Based strictly on the benchmark data, the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 is the superior performer. It wins both head-to-head tests, with a 9.2% advantage in OpenCL and an 18.5% advantage in Vulkan. Its average benchmark score of 40,870 is 24.4% higher than the NVIDIA T600 Mobile’s 32,849. The percentile ranking reinforces this: the AMD part sits in the 82nd percentile of all GPUs, while the NVIDIA part sits in the 77th percentile. For users prioritizing raw compute performance in OpenCL and Vulkan workloads, the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 is the clear choice.

The NVIDIA T600 Mobile, however, is not without its own positioning. Its average score of 32,849 places it in a competitive bracket, as evidenced by its near-identical scores to the NVIDIA P104-100 and AMD Radeon RX 590 GME. The data does not show any benchmark where the NVIDIA T600 Mobile wins against the AMD Radeon Pro 5300. Therefore, the verdict is straightforward: the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 is the better performer in every measured category. The NVIDIA T600 Mobile might be considered only in scenarios where its specific characteristics, such as lower power consumption, are more critical than raw benchmark scores. But for pure performance, the AMD part dominates.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ in several key specifications. The AMD Radeon Pro 5300 has a process node of 7 nm, while the NVIDIA T600 Mobile uses a 12 nm process. The AMD chip, the Navi 14, contains 6,400 million transistors on a die size of 158 mm², resulting in a transistor density of 40.5 million per mm². The NVIDIA chip, the TU117, contains 4,700 million transistors on a larger die of 200 mm², yielding a lower density of 23.5 million per mm².

Clock speeds also differ. The AMD Radeon Pro 5300 has a base clock of 1000 MHz and a boost clock of 1650 MHz. The NVIDIA T600 Mobile has a base clock of 780 MHz and a boost clock of 1410 MHz. Memory specifications are similar in capacity and type: both have 4 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus. However, the AMD part has a memory clock of 1750 MHz with 14 Gbps effective speed, resulting in a bandwidth of 224.0 GB/s. The NVIDIA part has a memory clock of 1500 MHz with 12 Gbps effective speed, resulting in a bandwidth of 192.0 GB/s.

The compute configurations are distinct. The AMD Radeon Pro 5300 has 1280 shading units, 80 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs. The NVIDIA T600 Mobile has 896 shading units, 56 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs. The AMD part achieves a pixel rate of 52.80 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 132.0 GTexel/s. The NVIDIA part achieves a pixel rate of 45.12 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 78.96 GTexel/s. In terms of floating-point performance, the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 delivers 4.224 TFLOPS for FP32 and 8.448 TFLOPS for FP16. The NVIDIA T600 Mobile delivers 2.527 TFLOPS for FP32 and 5.053 TFLOPS for FP16.

Power characteristics vary significantly. The AMD Radeon Pro 5300 has a TDP of 85 W, while the NVIDIA T600 Mobile has a TDP of 40 W. The AMD part has a suggested PSU of 250 W, while the NVIDIA part has no suggested PSU listed. The bus interface differs: the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 uses PCIe 4.0 x8, while the NVIDIA T600 Mobile uses PCIe 3.0 x16. Display outputs also differ: the AMD part has no outputs, while the NVIDIA part is described as portable device dependent. Both GPUs have the same DirectX version (12_1), OpenGL version (4.6), and Vulkan version (1.4).

Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon Pro 5300 is built on the RDNA 1.0 architecture, specifically using the Navi 14 chip. It belongs to the Radeon Pro Mac (Navi Series) generation. The NVIDIA T600 Mobile is built on the Turing architecture, using the TU117 chip, and belongs to the Quadro Turing-M (Tx000) generation. Both are manufactured by TSMC, but on different process nodes: 7 nm for AMD and 12 nm for NVIDIA.

The AMD architecture uses a higher transistor density, as noted earlier, which is a direct result of the more advanced 7 nm process. This allows for more transistors in a smaller die area. The NVIDIA Turing architecture, despite using a larger die, has fewer total transistors. The AMD Radeon Pro 5300 has no dedicated ray tracing cores or tensor cores, and the NVIDIA T600 Mobile also lacks these features, with both listing null for RT cores and tensor cores. This makes both GPUs more focused on traditional rasterization and compute workloads.

The memory subsystem is similar in layout, but the AMD part has a higher memory bandwidth at 224.0 GB/s versus 192.0 GB/s for the NVIDIA part. The AMD Radeon Pro 5300’s base and boost clocks are significantly higher, which contributes to its performance advantage. The NVIDIA T600 Mobile’s lower TDP of 40 W, compared to 85 W for the AMD part, indicates a more power-efficient design, likely intended for thermally constrained mobile environments. The AMD part’s lack of display outputs suggests it is designed for use in systems with dedicated display handling, while the NVIDIA part is designed to be portable device dependent, meaning it relies on the host system for display output.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon Pro 5300 wins in all recorded benchmark categories. It has a substantial lead in Geekbench OpenCL (9.2%) and an even larger lead in Geekbench Vulkan (18.5%). This indicates that the AMD part is better suited for compute-heavy applications that leverage these APIs. Its higher FP32 throughput of 4.224 TFLOPS, compared to 2.527 TFLOPS for the NVIDIA part, supports this finding. The AMD part also has a higher texture rate (132.0 GTexel/s vs 78.96 GTexel/s) and pixel rate (52.80 GPixel/s vs 45.12 GPixel/s), which would benefit graphics workloads that are fill-rate limited.

The NVIDIA T600 Mobile, while losing in benchmark performance, does have its own strengths in the data. Its TDP of 40 W is less than half of the AMD part’s 85 W. This makes it a more suitable option for scenarios where power consumption is a primary constraint, such as in thin-and-light mobile workstations. Its PCIe 3.0 x16 interface, while older, offers a wider lane configuration than the AMD part’s PCIe 4.0 x8. The NVIDIA part also has a lower transistor count and die size, which might contribute to lower manufacturing costs, though no pricing data is available. The NVIDIA T600 Mobile’s nearest rival scores suggest it performs in a similar range to other mid-range mobile GPUs, making it a reasonable choice for standard professional workloads where extreme performance is not required. However, for users who prioritize raw compute and graphics performance, the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 is the clear winner in every measured aspect.
