AMD Radeon Pro 570 vs AMD Radeon RX 6700 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a decisive performance gap between the AMD Radeon Pro 570 and the AMD Radeon RX 6700 across all three shared benchmark tests. The RX 6700 wins every comparison, with the Pro 570 trailing by margins ranging from roughly 62% to 72%. These are not marginal differences; the RX 6700 operates in a completely different performance tier.

In Geekbench Metal, the Pro 570 scores 39,945, while the RX 6700 reaches 122,223. That is a delta of 67.3%, meaning the RX 6700 delivers more than three times the Metal compute performance. This is the closest of the three head-to-head results for the Pro 570, but it is still a landslide. The Metal workload appears to be the least favorable comparison for the newer card, likely due to the older GCN architecture's mature Metal driver path, yet the raw shader throughput advantage of the RX 6700 overwhelms any software efficiency gains.

The Geekbench OpenCL test shows an even larger gap. The Pro 570 scores 27,702, while the RX 6700 posts 97,841. The delta here is 71.7%, the widest margin in the dataset. OpenCL has historically been a strong workload for AMD's GCN parts, but the RX 6700's RDNA 2 architecture with its higher clock speeds and doubled FP32 throughput simply outclasses the older design. The Pro 570's 3.960 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is less than a third of the RX 6700's 11.29 TFLOPS, and the benchmark results reflect that arithmetic almost exactly.

Geekbench Vulkan narrows the relative gap slightly. The Pro 570 scores 31,974, and the RX 6700 scores 83,974, for a delta of 61.9%. Vulkan is a lower-overhead API that can sometimes favor older architectures with simpler command processors, but here the RX 6700 still holds a commanding lead. The Pro 570's Vulkan score is actually higher than its OpenCL result, suggesting the GCN architecture responds well to explicit API control, but the RX 6700's Vulkan score is also its second-highest result, so the newer card gains just as much from the API.

The win count is 3-0 in favor of the RX 6700. There are no benchmark tests where the Pro 570 comes out ahead. The average benchmark score for the Pro 570 is 33,207, which places it at the 78th percentile of all GPUs in the database. The RX 6700 has an average score of 30,433, placing it at the 75th percentile. This is an interesting inversion: the RX 6700 wins every head-to-head test, yet its average score across all recorded benchmarks is lower than the Pro 570's average. This is because the RX 6700's benchmark suite includes several Passmark tests where it scores relatively low compared to its Geekbench results, while the Pro 570 only has Geekbench scores recorded. The head-to-head data is unambiguous, but the overall percentile ranking is influenced by the different test sets.

Looking at the nearest rivals in the database provides context for each card's standing. The Pro 570's closest competitor is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Mobile, with an average score of 33,170, a delta of just 0.1%. The Pro 570 sits essentially neck-and-neck with that mobile GPU. The NVIDIA T550 Mobile (33,161) and NVIDIA P104-100 (32,982) are also within 0.7% or less. This means the Pro 570's performance level is well understood: it is a mid-range part from its era, competitive with entry-level professional mobile GPUs from several years later.

The RX 6700, by contrast, sits near the NVIDIA CMP 70HX (30,476, delta of 0.1%) and NVIDIA Tesla M60 (30,490, delta of 0.2%). Its nearest AMD rival is the Radeon RX 6800 at 30,095, with the RX 6700 ahead by 1.1%. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is 1.6% behind at 29,945. So while the RX 6700's average score is lower than the Pro 570's, its competitive set includes much more powerful cards. The RX 6700 is trading blows with high-end desktop GPUs from the same generation, whereas the Pro 570 is competing with low-power mobile parts.

The Verdict

The data supports only one conclusion for raw performance: the AMD Radeon RX 6700 is the superior GPU by a wide margin. Across every shared benchmark, it leads by at least 61.9% and as much as 71.7%. The RX 6700's lowest head-to-head score (83,974 in Vulkan) is more than double the Pro 570's highest score (39,945 in Metal). There is no workload in the recorded data where the Pro 570 closes the gap to within a competitive range.

The Pro 570 is best understood as a legacy part. Its 78th percentile ranking is respectable, but it is achieved against a benchmark set that does not include the demanding DirectX 12 and Passmark workloads where the RX 6700 has additional data. The Pro 570's nearest rivals are mobile and low-profile workstation GPUs, which places it in a performance class that is several generations old.

The RX 6700, despite a lower overall percentile, sits in a much more powerful competitive bracket. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA CMP 70HX, the Tesla M60, the RX 6800, and the RTX 3070 Ti. This is a desktop-class GPU with substantial compute and rendering headroom. The RX 6700's 10 GB of GDDR6 memory and 320.0 GB/s of bandwidth give it a clear advantage in memory-bound scenarios, and its 36 ray tracing cores add a feature the Pro 570 simply does not have.

For anyone choosing between these two for a new build, the RX 6700 is the only rational pick based on performance data. The Pro 570 would only make sense in a system that requires its specific form factor (integrated graphics package, no power connectors, portable device dependent display outputs) and where the older GCN architecture's compatibility is a requirement. For general use, gaming, compute, or professional rendering, the RX 6700 is decisively better.

Specification Differences

The two cards differ in nearly every major specification category. The Pro 570 uses 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus, yielding 217.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The RX 6700 uses 10 GB of GDDR6 on a 160-bit bus, yielding 320.0 GB/s. Although the bus is narrower, the faster memory type and higher effective speed (16 Gbps versus 6.8 Gbps) give the RX 6700 a 47.4% bandwidth advantage.

Clock speeds are dramatically different. The Pro 570 has a base clock of 1000 MHz and a boost of 1105 MHz. The RX 6700 boosts to 2450 MHz with a base of 1941 MHz and a game clock of 2174 MHz. The RX 6700's boost clock is more than double the Pro 570's.

The compute resources also differ. The Pro 570 has 1,792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, and 32 render output units. The RX 6700 has 2,304 shading units, 144 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. The RX 6700's pixel rate is 156.8 GPixel/s versus 35.36 GPixel/s, and its texture rate is 352.8 GTexel/s versus 123.8 GTexel/s. FP32 throughput is 11.29 TFLOPS versus 3.960 TFLOPS. The RX 6700 also supports FP16 at 22.58 TFLOPS (2:1 ratio), while the Pro 570 is capped at 3.960 TFLOPS (1:1).

Power and physical characteristics differ substantially. The Pro 570 is rated at 150 W TDP, is an integrated graphics package (IGP) with no power connectors, and is listed as portable device dependent for display outputs. The RX 6700 is rated at 175 W TDP, is a dual-slot card requiring a single 8-pin power connector, and has a suggested PSU of 450 W. The RX 6700 measures 267 mm in length, 110 mm in height, and 40 mm in width. The Pro 570 has no recorded dimensions.

The bus interface differs: PCIe 3.0 x16 for the Pro 570 versus PCIe 4.0 x16 for the RX 6700. The RX 6700 also has a higher API support level, including DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) versus DirectX 12 (12_0), and Vulkan 1.4 versus 1.3. Both support OpenGL 4.6.

Architecture Differences

The architectural gap between these two GPUs is a generational leap. The Pro 570 is built on GCN 4.0, using the Ellesmere chip, fabricated on a 14 nm process at GlobalFoundries. The RX 6700 uses RDNA 2.0 with the Navi 22 chip, fabricated on a 7 nm process at TSMC.

The process difference is significant. The Pro 570 integrates 5,700 million transistors on a 232 mm² die, for a transistor density of 24.6 million per mm². The RX 6700 packs 17,200 million transistors onto a 335 mm² die, achieving 51.3 million per mm². The RX 6700 has more than triple the transistor count at only 44.4% larger die area.

The RDNA 2 architecture introduces features that GCN 4.0 lacks entirely. The RX 6700 includes 36 dedicated ray tracing cores, which enable hardware-accelerated ray tracing workloads. The Pro 570 has no ray tracing cores. The RX 6700 also supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, which includes features like mesh shaders and variable rate shading, while the Pro 570 is limited to DirectX 12 (12_0) feature level.

The memory architecture is also fundamentally different. The Pro 570 uses 256-bit GDDR5, a wide but older memory subsystem. The RX 6700 uses a 160-bit GDDR6 interface, which achieves higher bandwidth despite the narrower bus due to the much higher effective data rate. The RX 6700 also has triple the memory capacity: 10 GB versus 4 GB.

The RX 6700's FP16 throughput is double its FP32 rate, indicating a 2:1 ratio that allows for faster half-precision compute workloads. The Pro 570 runs FP16 at the same rate as FP32 (1:1), meaning it gains no advantage from reduced precision. This difference matters for AI inference and certain compute workloads that leverage FP16.

The RX 6700 belongs to the Radeon RX 6000 series, with a generation identifier of Navi II (RX 6000). Its predecessor is listed as Navi and its successor as Navi III. The Pro 570 belongs to the Radeon Pro Mac (500 Series) generation. The RX 6700 was released in June 2021, while the Pro 570 was released in June 2017, a four-year gap that explains the architectural disparity. Both are now end-of-life products.
