AMD Radeon PRO V710 vs AMD Radeon Pro W5700X Comparison

AMD Radeon PRO V710 vs AMD Radeon Pro W5700X

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data presents a starkly one-sided contest. The single direct comparison available, Geekbench OpenCL, shows the AMD Radeon PRO V710 delivering a score of 116,460 against the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X’s 43,810. That is a delta of 165.8% in favor of the V710, meaning it more than doubles the W5700X’s OpenCL compute output. This is not a marginal generational bump; it is a categorical shift in raw throughput. The V710’s average benchmark score of 58,657 also eclipses the W5700X’s 54,828, a gap of roughly 7% across all recorded tests, though the V710’s lead is far more pronounced in the compute-heavy OpenCL workload than in overall averages.

Looking at the rivals bracketing these two cards, the V710 sits at the 88th percentile of all GPUs, with its nearest competitors being the NVIDIA P102-100 (average score 58,528, delta 0.2%), AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT (58,392, delta 0.5%), Intel Arc A570M (58,239, delta 0.7%), and AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM (58,085, delta 1%). The V710 is effectively in a dead heat with these parts, trading blows within a single percentage point. The W5700X, at the 87th percentile, has a different competitive set: it is 1.1% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 (54,247) and RTX 4080 SUPER (54,209), but trails the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB (55,698) by 1.6% and the AMD Radeon 8060S (55,757) by 1.7%. Both cards are near the top of the overall GPU hierarchy, but the V710’s raw compute score is in a different league from the W5700X’s.

The W5700X does have additional benchmark entries—Geekbench Metal at 75,427 and Geekbench Vulkan at 45,246—but these have no direct V710 counterpart in the data. The only apples-to-apples test is OpenCL, and there the V710 wins outright. The V710 also holds a win count of 1 in head-to-head tests, while the W5700X has 0, making the contest statistically decisive even with limited sample size.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon PRO V710 wins unequivocally in OpenCL compute. Its 27.65 TFLOPS FP32 performance is a massive leap over the W5700X’s 10.44 TFLOPS, and that advantage shows up directly in the 165.8% OpenCL delta. For workloads that hammer general-purpose GPU compute—think rendering, simulation, or data processing—the V710 is the clear choice. It also leads in memory capacity with 28 GB versus 16 GB, and in bandwidth at 504.0 GB/s versus 448.0 GB/s, which matters for large datasets that exceed the W5700X’s frame buffer. The V710’s texture rate of 432.0 GTexel/s and pixel rate of 192.0 GPixel/s further cement its lead in fill-rate-bound tasks.

The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X, however, wins on interface and display flexibility. It uses an Apple MPX bus interface and provides 1x HDMI 2.0b plus 4x Thunderbolt outputs, whereas the V710 has no display outputs at all. If the workload requires driving monitors or integrating into a Mac Pro ecosystem, the W5700X is the only functional option. The W5700X also has a higher boost clock at 2040 MHz versus the V710’s 2000 MHz, though its base clock is far lower at 1243 MHz versus 1900 MHz. In FP16 compute, the W5700X’s 20.89 TFLOPS (2:1 ratio) actually exceeds the V710’s 27.65 TFLOPS (1:1) in relative efficiency for mixed-precision tasks, but the V710’s raw FP16 number is still higher. The W5700X’s 256-bit memory bus is wider than the V710’s 224-bit bus, but the V710 compensates with faster memory clocks (2250 MHz versus 1750 MHz), yielding higher overall bandwidth.

Architecture Differences

The two cards come from different architecture generations entirely. The AMD Radeon PRO V710 is built on RDNA 3.0, codenamed Wheat Nas, using a Navi 32 chip fabricated on TSMC’s 5 nm process. It packs 28,100 million transistors into a 346 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 81.2M per mm². The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X is RDNA 1.0, using a Navi 10 chip on the older 7 nm process, with 10,300 million transistors on a 251 mm² die—a density of just 41.0M per mm². That node shrink and density increase is the fundamental driver of the V710’s performance advantage.

Core counts differ substantially. The V710 has 3,456 shading units, 216 texture mapping units, 96 ROPs, and 54 ray tracing cores. The W5700X has 2,560 shading units, 160 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and no dedicated ray tracing cores. The V710’s ray tracing support is a hardware feature entirely absent from the W5700X, which matters for any DXR or Vulkan ray-traced workload. The V710 also supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), while the W5700X is limited to DirectX 12 (12_1)—a feature-level difference that excludes the older card from certain modern rendering paths. Both support OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4.

Memory architecture differs too. The V710 uses 28 GB of GDDR6 on a 224-bit bus with 504.0 GB/s bandwidth. The W5700X uses 16 GB of GDDR6 on a wider 256-bit bus but slower 1750 MHz memory, yielding 448.0 GB/s. The V710’s extra 12 GB of VRAM is a significant advantage for large models or high-resolution textures that exceed 16 GB. Power profiles are inverted: the V710 draws 158 W TDP with a single 8-pin connector and a 450 W suggested PSU, while the W5700X draws 205 W TDP with a 550 W suggested PSU. The V710 is single-slot; the W5700X is quad-slot, meaning the V710 fits in far more chassis configurations. The W5700X’s 305 mm length is listed, while the V710’s dimensions are not specified.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear pick for compute performance: the AMD Radeon PRO V710. It doubles the W5700X in OpenCL, offers 28 GB versus 16 GB of memory, adds ray tracing hardware, and does it all at lower power (158 W versus 205 W) in a single-slot form factor. The V710’s 88th percentile ranking and near-tie with the RX 6950 XT and P102-100 place it among the top GPUs overall, while the W5700X’s 87th percentile and its rivalry with the RTX 4080 series show it is also a strong card—but not in the same compute tier. For any workstation task that is GPU-bound, the V710 is the superior choice on every measurable specification except display output and FP16 efficiency per watt.

The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X wins only where the V710 cannot function: as a display adapter. With no outputs on the V710, the W5700X is the only viable option for a Mac Pro user needing to connect monitors via its 4x Thunderbolt and 1x HDMI 2.0b ports. Its Apple MPX interface is also purpose-built for that ecosystem, while the V710 uses standard PCIe 4.0 x16. If the use case is purely headless compute or rendering in a standard PC chassis, the V710 is the obvious choice. If the requirement is a visual workstation with multi-monitor output inside a Mac Pro, the W5700X is the only card that fits. The W5700X’s end-of-life production status also weighs against it; the V710 was released in October 2024, while the W5700X dates to December 2019.
