AMD Radeon PRO V710 vs AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM Comparison

The AMD Radeon PRO V710 and the AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM occupy different ends of the performance spectrum, despite their average benchmark scores sitting within 1% of each other. The data shows a head-to-head comparison that is decisively one-sided in raw compute, yet the overall scoring suggests a more nuanced relationship. The V710, a RDNA 3.0 workstation part, and the RX 5600 OEM, an RDNA 1.0 consumer chip, are separated by architectural generations and design intent, making their aggregate similarity a statistical curiosity rather than a performance reality.

Where Each One Wins

The performance split is stark. In the single shared benchmark test, the AMD Radeon PRO V710 secures the only win, demonstrating a massive lead. The RX 5600 OEM does not win any of the head-to-head tests. However, the average benchmark score paints a different picture of overall capability. The V710’s average score is 58657, while the RX 5600 OEM trails closely with an average of 58085, a difference of just 1% according to the nearestRivals data. This indicates that while the V710 dominates in the specific OpenCL workload, the RX 5600 OEM holds its own across a broader, unspecified set of benchmarks, likely due to its driver optimizations for consumer workloads.

The V710 is the clear winner for compute-heavy tasks. Its victory in the Geekbench OpenCL test, with a score of 116460 versus the RX 5600 OEM’s 62427, establishes it as the superior choice for general-purpose GPU compute. The architecture’s 1:1 FP16 to FP32 ratio, listed as 27.65 TFLOPS for both, reinforces this. The RX 5600 OEM, with a 2:1 FP16 ratio (12.78 TFLOPS), is less efficient in this regard. For users prioritizing raw number-crunching, the V710 is the definitive pick.

Conversely, the RX 5600 OEM’s advantage lies in its status as a conventional consumer card. It provides display outputs (1x HDMI 2.0b and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a), whereas the V710 has no outputs, requiring a separate graphics solution for display. This makes the RX 5600 OEM a functional graphics card for a standard desktop, while the V710 is a compute accelerator. The data does not show a benchmark where the RX 5600 OEM wins, but its feature set carves out a distinct use case that the V710 cannot fulfill.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The single head-to-head benchmark result is a decisive victory for the AMD Radeon PRO V710. In the Geekbench OpenCL test, the V710 scores 116460, while the AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM scores 62427. This yields a deltaPct of 86.6%, meaning the V710 is 86.6% faster in this specific workload. This is not a marginal difference; it is a near-doubling of performance, highlighting the V710’s focus on compute throughput.

This OpenCL result is the only direct comparison available, and it shows a clear winner. The V710’s FP32 performance is listed at 27.65 TFLOPS, which is a theoretical peak that aligns with its dominant OpenCL score. The RX 5600 OEM’s FP32 throughput is only 6.390 TFLOPS, explaining its lower score. The V710’s texture rate of 432.0 GTexel/s and pixel rate of 192.0 GPixel/s also dwarf the RX 5600 OEM’s 199.7 GTexel/s and 99.84 GPixel/s, respectively. These specifications corroborate the benchmark outcome.

Despite the lopsided head-to-head, the average benchmark scores suggest a closer overall race. The V710’s average is 58657, and the RX 5600 OEM’s is 58085. The nearestRivals list for the V710 includes the RX 5600 OEM with a deltaPct of 1, indicating the V710 is just 1% faster on average. This counterintuitive result implies that in other benchmark tests not listed in the head-to-head data, the RX 5600 OEM must perform competitively, likely in gaming or graphics-specific workloads where the V710’s compute-optimized architecture does not provide an advantage.

Specification Differences

The two cards diverge significantly on core specifications. The Radeon PRO V710 features 3456 shading units, 216 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. The Radeon RX 5600 OEM has fewer resources, with 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. This 1.7x difference in shader count is a primary driver of the V710’s compute advantage.

Memory is another major differentiator. The V710 offers 28 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 224-bit bus, delivering 504.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The RX 5600 OEM has 6 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, with 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The V710’s memory capacity is more than four times larger, and its bandwidth is 75% higher. Clock speeds also favor the V710, with a base clock of 1900 MHz and boost of 2000 MHz, versus the RX 5600 OEM’s 1130 MHz base and 1560 MHz boost.

Power and physical specs differ as well. The V710 has a TDP of 158 W and is a single-slot card, while the RX 5600 OEM has a TDP of 125 W and is a dual-slot card. Both use a single 8-pin power connector, but the V710 requires a 450 W suggested PSU, while the RX 5600 OEM has a 300 W suggested PSU. The RX 5600 OEM has a production status of "End-of-life", while the V710’s status is null, indicating it is a current product. The V710 also lacks display outputs, while the RX 5600 OEM includes them.

Architecture Differences

The architectural gap is generational. The Radeon PRO V710 is built on RDNA 3.0 architecture using the Navi 32 chip, fabricated on TSMC’s 5 nm process. The Radeon RX 5600 OEM uses the older RDNA 1.0 architecture with the Navi 10 chip, on a 7 nm process. This process shrink allows the V710 to pack 28,100 million transistors into a 346 mm² die, achieving a transistor density of 81.2M / mm². The RX 5600 OEM has 10,300 million transistors on a larger 251 mm² die, with a density of just 41.0M / mm².

The V710’s RDNA 3.0 architecture introduces dedicated ray tracing cores, with 54 RT cores present. The RX 5600 OEM has no RT cores, as RDNA 1.0 lacked hardware ray tracing support. This is a fundamental feature difference, making the V710 capable of hardware-accelerated ray tracing while the RX 5600 OEM is not. The V710 also supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), which is a higher feature level than the RX 5600 OEM’s DirectX 12 (12_1).

Compute capabilities are also architecturally distinct. The V710 lists FP32 and FP16 performance at 27.65 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio, suggesting unified shader execution. The RX 5600 OEM has FP32 at 6.390 TFLOPS and FP16 at 12.78 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio, indicating separate or rate-limited FP16 paths. The V710’s codename is "Wheat Nas", while the RX 5600 OEM has no codename listed. The V710 supports PCIe 4.0 x16, and the RX 5600 OEM also supports PCIe 4.0 x16, so the bus interface is not a differentiator. The V710 has no display outputs, making it a pure compute accelerator, while the RX 5600 OEM retains full display connectivity.
