AMD Radeon PRO V710 vs NVIDIA B300 SXM6 AC Comparison

AMD Radeon PRO V710 and NVIDIA B300 SXM6 AC occupy distant corners of the GPU performance spectrum. The database records a single shared benchmark, Geekbench OpenCL, where the NVIDIA part delivers a score of 369,831 against AMD's 116,460. That result places the B300 SXM6 AC at the 100th percentile of all GPUs, while the Radeon PRO V710 sits at the 88th percentile. The average benchmark scores reinforce the separation: 369,831 for NVIDIA versus 58,657 for AMD, a gap that reflects fundamentally different design targets.

Where Each One Wins

The head-to-head data shows one decisive winner across the only common test. In Geekbench OpenCL, the NVIDIA B300 SXM6 AC scores 369,831, which is 68.5% higher than the AMD Radeon PRO V710's 116,460. This is not a close contest. The NVIDIA part's nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA B200 (average score 345,482, delta 7%), the NVIDIA H200 NVL (334,891, delta 10.4%), and the AMD Instinct MI300X (317,994, delta 16.3%). The B300 SXM6 AC leads that group by margins ranging from 7% to 25%, confirming its position at the top of the compute hierarchy.

The AMD Radeon PRO V710, by contrast, competes in a lower performance tier. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA P102-100 (average score 58,528, delta 0.2%), the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT (58,392, delta 0.5%), and the Intel Arc A570M (58,239, delta 0.7%). The V710's average score of 58,657 places it just ahead of those parts by less than 1% in each case. It wins no shared benchmarks against the B300 SXM6 AC, but its placement among these rivals indicates it holds its own within its own segment. The data does not show a single test where the AMD card beats the NVIDIA card. Instead, the AMD card wins by existing in a different performance class, one where its scores cluster tightly with other mid-range accelerators.

Architecture Differences

The architectural split between these two parts is stark. AMD uses the Navi 32 chip with RDNA 3.0 architecture, codenamed Wheat Nas, built on a 5 nm TSMC process. The die measures 346 mm² and contains 28,100 million transistors, yielding a transistor density of 81.2 million per square millimeter. NVIDIA counters with the GB110 chip under Blackwell Ultra architecture, also on a 5 nm TSMC process, but the die is 1,628 mm² with 208,000 million transistors, producing a density of 127.8 million per square millimeter. The NVIDIA die is roughly 4.7 times larger in area and holds about 7.4 times more transistors.

Shader resources differ enormously. The Radeon PRO V710 provides 3,456 shading units, 216 texture mapping units, 96 ROPs, and 54 ray tracing cores. The B300 SXM6 AC offers 18,944 shading units, 592 TMUs, 24 ROPs, and 592 tensor cores, with no dedicated RT core count recorded. The NVIDIA part has over five times the shading units and nearly three times the TMUs, but only a quarter of the ROPs. That ROP disparity shapes the pixel throughput: AMD records 192.0 GPixel/s against NVIDIA's 48.77 GPixel/s. Texture rate favors NVIDIA heavily at 1,202.9 GTexel/s versus 432.0 GTexel/s for AMD.

Clock behavior also differs. AMD lists a base clock of 1,900 MHz and a boost of 2,000 MHz. NVIDIA runs a lower base of 1,665 MHz but boosts to 2,032 MHz, slightly higher than AMD's boost. Memory architecture diverges completely. AMD uses 28 GB of GDDR6 on a 224-bit bus at 2,250 MHz (18 Gbps effective), producing 504.0 GB/s of bandwidth. NVIDIA uses 288 GB of HBM3e on an 8,192-bit bus at 2,000 MHz (8 Gbps effective), delivering 8.19 TB/s, roughly 16 times the bandwidth. The NVIDIA memory capacity is over 10 times larger.

API support separates them further. AMD lists DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. NVIDIA's entry shows N/A for DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan, reflecting its server-oriented focus. Neither part has display outputs. The power envelope differs by an order of magnitude: AMD's TDP is 158 W with a suggested PSU of 450 W and a single 8-pin connector, while NVIDIA's TDP is 1,100 W with a suggested PSU of 1,500 W, packaged as an SXM module with no discrete power connector listed.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only shared benchmark in the database is Geekbench OpenCL, and it is a landslide. The NVIDIA B300 SXM6 AC scores 369,831, while the AMD Radeon PRO V710 scores 116,460. The delta is recorded as -68.5% from AMD's perspective, meaning the AMD card trails by over two-thirds. To frame it another way, the NVIDIA score is roughly 3.18 times the AMD score. This aligns with the raw FP32 throughput figures: NVIDIA lists 76.99 TFLOPS against AMD's 27.65 TFLOPS, a ratio of about 2.78. The benchmark gap is slightly wider than the shader throughput ratio suggests, likely due to the massive memory bandwidth advantage (8.19 TB/s versus 504.0 GB/s) that OpenCL workloads can exploit.

Looking at the NVIDIA part's performance relative to its own tier, the Geekbench score of 369,831 exceeds the B200's average of 345,482 by 7%, the H200 NVL's 334,891 by 10.4%, and the MI300X's 317,994 by 16.3%. Against the L40S at 295,763, the margin is 25%. These deltas show the B300 SXM6 AC is not merely a high-end part; it leads its immediate competitors by substantial double-digit margins in some cases.

For the AMD side, the Geekbench result of 116,460 feeds into an average benchmark score of 58,657, which is only 0.2% above the P102-100, 0.5% above the RX 6950 XT, and 0.7% above the Arc A570M. The V710's single benchmark score is roughly double its average score, indicating that the two recorded tests (3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 at 853 and Geekbench OpenCL at 116,460) diverge sharply in what they measure. The 3DMark result is a rasterization-focused test where the V710's 96 ROPs and 192.0 GPixel/s pixel rate provide a comparatively strong showing. The NVIDIA part has no recorded 3DMark score, so direct rasterization comparison is unavailable.

Specification Differences

The two parts differ across nearly every measurable specification. Process node is identical (5 nm TSMC for both), but everything else diverges. Transistor count stands at 28,100 million for AMD versus 208,000 million for NVIDIA. Die size is 346 mm² versus 1,628 mm². Transistor density is 81.2M per mm² versus 127.8M per mm². Base clock favors AMD at 1,900 MHz versus 1,665 MHz, while boost clock slightly favors NVIDIA at 2,032 MHz versus 2,000 MHz.

The Verdict

The recorded data draws a clear line between these two accelerators. The NVIDIA B300 SXM6 AC is a compute-class part aimed at the top of the server market. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 369,831 places it at the 100th percentile, and it leads its nearest rival, the B200, by 7%. The 288 GB HBM3e memory pool, 8.19 TB/s bandwidth, and 76.99 TFLOPS FP32 throughput make it suitable for workloads that demand extreme memory capacity and parallel compute. Its 1,100 W TDP and SXM module form factor indicate a data-center installation rather than a desktop or workstation chassis.

The AMD Radeon PRO V710 targets a different use case. Its 88th percentile ranking and average score of 58,657 put it in the company of the RX 6950 XT and P102-100, all within 1% of each other. The 28 GB GDDR6 memory, 504.0 GB/s bandwidth, and 27.65 TFLOPS FP32 are modest by comparison, but the part carries a much lighter power draw at 158 W and a single-slot form factor. Its 96 ROPs and 192.0 GPixel/s pixel rate suggest rasterization capability that the NVIDIA part does not emphasize, given the B300's 24 ROPs and 48.77 GPixel/s.

For users selecting between these two, the choice depends on the workload. If the task requires massive memory capacity, enormous bandwidth, and the highest OpenCL compute scores in the database, the B300 SXM6 AC is the only option that fits. If the workload fits within 28 GB of memory, tolerates PCIe 4.0 rather than PCIe 6.0, and needs graphics API support such as DirectX 12 Ultimate or Vulkan 1.4, the Radeon PRO V710 provides those features at a fraction of the power draw. The data shows no scenario where the AMD part outperforms the NVIDIA part in shared benchmarks, but the two products do not serve the same market segment. The B300 SXM6 AC leads its own tier by double digits, while the V710 sits within 1% of its nearest rivals. The verdict, strictly from the measurements: the NVIDIA B300 SXM6 AC is the higher-performing part by every recorded metric, and the AMD Radeon PRO V710 is the appropriate choice for lower-power, graphics-enabled workloads.
