AMD Radeon Pro 570X vs AMD Radeon RX 5300M Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data includes one directly comparable benchmark between the AMD Radeon RX 5300M and the AMD Radeon Pro 570X: Geekbench OpenCL. In this test, the RX 5300M scores 36,529 points, while the Pro 570X scores 27,604 points. The RX 5300M wins by a margin of 32.3%, a substantial lead that places it clearly ahead in raw compute throughput as measured by OpenCL.

To put that score into context, the RX 5300M sits at the 80th percentile among all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X at 36,530 points (a 0% delta), the NVIDIA T1000 at 36,289 points (0.7% behind the RX 5300M), and the AMD Radeon PRO W6400 at 37,157 points (1.7% ahead of the RX 5300M). The RX 5300M is essentially neck-and-neck with the GTX TITAN X, within a fraction of a percent, and nearly matches the PRO W6400, a dedicated workstation card. This means the RX 5300M is positioned in a competitive tier of GPUs that deliver strong OpenCL performance despite its mobile form factor.

The Pro 570X, by contrast, records a Geekbench OpenCL score of 27,604, placing it at the 76th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD FirePro S10000 at 32,388 points (0.7% ahead of the Pro 570X), the AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE at 32,456 points (0.9% ahead), the Intel Arc Pro A30M at 31,894 points (0.9% behind the Pro 570X), and the AMD FirePro S9300 X2 at 32,540 points (1.1% ahead). The Pro 570X trails its nearest rivals by less than 1.1%, which indicates that its OpenCL performance is competitive within its immediate peer group, but that group sits noticeably below the RX 5300M's cluster.

The database shows a clear hierarchy: the RX 5300M's OpenCL score is roughly a third higher than the Pro 570X's. However, the Pro 570X has additional benchmark entries that the RX 5300M lacks. Specifically, the Pro 570X records a Geekbench Metal score of 40,066 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 28,859. The RX 5300M has no Metal or Vulkan scores in the database, so no direct comparison can be made on those APIs. The Metal score in particular stands out as the Pro 570X's strongest recorded result, exceeding its own OpenCL score by a wide margin.

Where Each One Wins

The RX 5300M wins decisively in OpenCL compute, the only benchmark where both cards have recorded scores. With a 32.3% lead, it is the clear choice for workloads that rely on OpenCL acceleration, such as certain rendering tasks, scientific computation, or general-purpose GPU computing. The RX 5300M's percentile ranking of 80 versus the Pro 570X's 76 also reflects a higher overall standing in the database, even though the two percentiles are close.

The Pro 570X, on the other hand, shows its strength in Apple's Metal API. Its Geekbench Metal score of 40,066 is its best recorded result and comfortably outpaces its own OpenCL and Vulkan scores. Since the RX 5300M has no Metal benchmark entry, the data cannot directly compare the two on Metal, but the Pro 570X's Metal score is higher than the RX 5300M's OpenCL score. For users whose applications specifically leverage Metal, the Pro 570X is the only one of the two with demonstrated performance in that API.

The Pro 570X also has a Vulkan score of 28,859, which is above its OpenCL score but still below the RX 5300M's OpenCL result. Again, no Vulkan score exists for the RX 5300M, so a direct comparison is impossible. The available data suggests the Pro 570X is more versatile across multiple APIs, while the RX 5300M excels in OpenCL but lacks recorded evidence in other benchmark categories.

In terms of head-to-head wins, the database records 1 win for the RX 5300M and 0 wins for the Pro 570X. That single win is the OpenCL test, and it is a decisive one. The Pro 570X does not win any recorded head-to-head benchmark, because no other test has scores for both GPUs.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural generations and manufacturing processes. The RX 5300M uses the Navi 14 chip built on RDNA 1.0 architecture, fabricated on a 7 nm process at TSMC. The Pro 570X uses the Ellesmere chip built on GCN 4.0 architecture, fabricated on a 14 nm process at GlobalFoundries. This node difference is significant: the RX 5300M's 7 nm process allows for a smaller die and higher transistor density. The RX 5300M has 6,400 million transistors on a 158 mm² die, yielding a density of 40.5 million transistors per square millimeter. The Pro 570X has 5,700 million transistors on a 232 mm² die, yielding a density of 24.6 million transistors per square millimeter. The RX 5300M packs more transistors into a much smaller area.

Memory configurations also differ substantially. The RX 5300M uses 3 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 96-bit bus, delivering 168.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Pro 570X uses 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 217.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Pro 570X has more memory and significantly higher bandwidth, despite using older GDDR5 technology. The RX 5300M compensates with newer GDDR6 memory but a narrower bus.

Compute unit counts differ as well. The RX 5300M has 1,408 shading units, 88 texture mapping units, and 32 render output units. The Pro 570X has 1,792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, and 32 render output units. The Pro 570X has more shading units and TMUs, but the RX 5300M achieves higher clock speeds. The RX 5300M's base clock is 1000 MHz with a boost clock of 1445 MHz and a game clock of 1181 MHz. The Pro 570X's base clock is 1000 MHz with a boost clock of 1105 MHz and no recorded game clock. The RX 5300M's higher boost clock, combined with its newer architecture, yields higher fill rates: 46.24 GPixel/s pixel rate and 127.2 GTexel/s texture rate, versus the Pro 570X's 35.36 GPixel/s and 123.8 GTexel/s.

The RX 5300M also has a higher FP32 throughput at 4.069 TFLOPS compared to the Pro 570X's 3.960 TFLOPS. In FP16, the RX 5300M achieves 8.138 TFLOPS using a 2:1 ratio, while the Pro 570X achieves 3.960 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio. This means the RX 5300M has a substantial advantage in half-precision compute.

Power consumption differs by a wide margin. The RX 5300M has a TDP of 85 W, while the Pro 570X has a TDP of 150 W. The Pro 570X draws nearly twice as much power, which is notable given its lower performance in OpenCL. The RX 5300M is also listed with PCIe 4.0 x8 interface, while the Pro 570X uses PCIe 3.0 x16. Both are marked as "Portable Device Dependent" for display outputs, indicating they are designed for mobile or integrated form factors. The Pro 570X is explicitly listed as an IGP (integrated graphics processor) with no slot width, while the RX 5300M has no slot width listed.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear choice for OpenCL-based workloads: the AMD Radeon RX 5300M. Its 32.3% lead over the Pro 570X in Geekbench OpenCL is decisive, and its higher percentiles and more modern architecture reinforce this. The RX 5300M achieves this with a much lower TDP of 85 W versus 150 W, making it the more efficient option as well. Its smaller die, higher transistor density, and faster boost clock all contribute to its superior compute performance.

The AMD Radeon Pro 570X is the better option only if the target application relies on Apple's Metal API or Vulkan, since it has recorded scores in both (40,066 for Metal, 28,859 for Vulkan) while the RX 5300M has none. The Pro 570X also offers more memory (4 GB versus 3 GB) and higher memory bandwidth (217.0 GB/s versus 168.0 GB/s), which could matter for memory-bound tasks that do not depend on raw compute throughput.

For most general-purpose GPU compute, the RX 5300M is the stronger performer. Its OpenCL score places it near the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X and the AMD Radeon PRO W6400, both of which are well-regarded cards. The Pro 570X, by contrast, sits in a lower performance tier, closer to the Intel Arc Pro A30M. Users who need Metal support or larger memory capacity should consider the Pro 570X, but those prioritizing compute performance and power efficiency should choose the RX 5300M.
