AMD Radeon PRO V710 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 A Mobile Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains a single direct head-to-head benchmark between these two parts, and the result is decisive. In Geekbench OpenCL, the AMD Radeon PRO V710 scores 116,460 points against 52,998 points for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 A Mobile. That is a 119.7% advantage for the AMD part, more than doubling the NVIDIA mobile GPU's compute output in this workload.

The average benchmark score across all recorded tests reinforces that dominance. The Radeon PRO V710 posts an average of 58,657 points, while the RTX 3050 A Mobile averages 8,746 points. That places the AMD part in the 88th percentile of all GPUs in the database, whereas the NVIDIA mobile chip sits in the 44th percentile. The delta between the two average scores is substantial, though the head-to-head Geekbench result remains the cleanest apples-to-apples comparison available.

Looking at the nearest rivals in the database provides additional context for each part's standing. The Radeon PRO V710's closest competitor is the NVIDIA P102-100, which averages 58,528 points, a mere 0.2% difference. The AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT trails by 0.5%, and the Intel Arc A570M sits 0.7% behind. Even the AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM, the fourth-closest rival, is only 1% off the V710's average. This clustering indicates the V710 lands in a tightly contested performance band despite its massive absolute lead over the mobile RTX 3050 A.

The RTX 3050 A Mobile's nearest rivals tell a different story. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 v2 matches its average score almost exactly, with a 0% delta. The NVIDIA Quadro P2200 is 0.7% behind, while the AMD Radeon R9 M265X and AMD Radeon Pro WX 5100 sit 1.2% and 1.3% ahead, respectively. These rivals are all older or lower-tier parts, confirming that the mobile NVIDIA chip occupies a modest performance tier within the database.

The Geekbench OpenCL result is the only direct head-to-head measurement, and the AMD card wins that contest outright. The win count stands at one for the Radeon PRO V710 and zero for the RTX 3050 A Mobile. No other shared benchmark tests appear in the recorded data, so the comparison rests primarily on that single workload plus the aggregate average scores.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Radeon PRO V710 uses the Navi 32 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, with the codename Wheat Nas. It belongs to the Radeon Pro Navi (Navi III Series) generation. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 A Mobile uses the GA106 chip built on Ampere architecture and belongs to the GeForce 30 Mobile generation.

Manufacturing processes diverge sharply. The AMD part is fabricated by TSMC on a 5 nm node, packing 28,100 million transistors into a 346 mm² die. That yields a transistor density of 81.2M per mm². The NVIDIA chip comes from Samsung on an 8 nm node, with 12,000 million transistors on a 276 mm² die, giving a density of 43.5M per mm². The AMD chip carries more than double the transistor count on a larger die, and its density advantage reflects the more advanced process node.

The Radeon PRO V710 supports the full DirectX 12 Ultimate feature set (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The RTX 3050 A Mobile also supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Both parts match on API support, so software compatibility does not differentiate them.

Ray tracing hardware exists on both chips, but the counts differ significantly. The AMD part includes 54 ray accelerators, while the NVIDIA chip has 14 RT cores. The NVIDIA part also includes 56 tensor cores, which have no direct equivalent on the AMD side, as the Radeon PRO V710 does not list tensor core hardware.

The Radeon PRO V710 is a desktop-oriented card with a single-slot form factor and a 1x 8-pin power connector. The RTX 3050 A Mobile is an integrated-on-motherboard GPU with no slot width, no power connectors, and display outputs that are portable device dependent. The AMD card lists no display outputs at all, indicating a compute-focused accelerator rather than a graphics output solution.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon PRO V710 wins decisively in raw compute throughput. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 116,460 more than doubles the RTX 3050 A Mobile's 52,998, a 119.7% margin. The average benchmark score reinforces this: 58,657 versus 8,746. The AMD part also holds a commanding lead in the 88th percentile of all GPUs versus the 44th percentile for the NVIDIA chip.

The Radeon PRO V710's memory subsystem provides another clear advantage. It carries 28 GB of GDDR6 on a 224-bit bus, delivering 504.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The RTX 3050 A Mobile has 4 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, yielding 192.0 GB/s. That is more than a 2.6x bandwidth advantage for the AMD card, which matters for large datasets and compute workloads that saturate memory.

Pixel and texture throughput also favor the AMD part heavily. The Radeon PRO V710 reaches 192.0 GPixel/s and 432.0 GTexel/s, while the RTX 3050 A Mobile manages 42.98 GPixel/s and 75.21 GTexel/s. The AMD card leads by roughly 4.5x in pixel rate and 5.7x in texture rate.

The NVIDIA RTX 3050 A Mobile wins in power efficiency by a wide margin. Its TDP is 45 W, while the Radeon PRO V710 draws 158 W. That is a 113 W difference, meaning the NVIDIA chip uses about 28% of the power of the AMD card. For thermally constrained mobile or low-power applications, the RTX 3050 A Mobile is the more practical choice, even though it loses on absolute performance.

The NVIDIA part also has a tensor core count of 56, which the AMD card lacks entirely. This gives the RTX 3050 A Mobile an architectural advantage for workloads that leverage tensor operations, though the recorded benchmarks do not include any tensor-specific tests.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ across nearly every specification field. The process node shows 5 nm for AMD versus 8 nm for NVIDIA. Transistor counts are 28,100 million versus 12,000 million. Die sizes are 346 mm² versus 276 mm². Transistor densities are 81.2M / mm² versus 43.5M / mm².

Clock speeds differ substantially. The Radeon PRO V710 has a base clock of 1900 MHz and a boost clock of 2000 MHz. The RTX 3050 A Mobile runs at 1065 MHz base and 1343 MHz boost. Memory clocks also diverge: 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective) for AMD versus 1500 MHz (12 Gbps effective) for NVIDIA.

Memory capacity, type, bus width, and bandwidth all favor the AMD part. The Radeon PRO V710 offers 28 GB GDDR6 on a 224-bit bus with 504.0 GB/s bandwidth. The RTX 3050 A Mobile offers 4 GB GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus with 192.0 GB/s bandwidth.

Compute unit counts show the AMD card's scale advantage. The Radeon PRO V710 has 3456 shading units, 216 TMUs, 96 ROPs, and 54 RT cores. The RTX 3050 A Mobile has 1792 shading units, 56 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and 14 RT cores. The NVIDIA part includes 56 tensor cores, while the AMD part lists none.

Raw throughput figures confirm the gap. The AMD card delivers 27.65 TFLOPS FP32 and 27.65 TFLOPS FP16 (1:1). The NVIDIA chip delivers 4.813 TFLOPS FP32 and 4.813 TFLOPS FP16 (1:1). Pixel rate is 192.0 GPixel/s versus 42.98 GPixel/s. Texture rate is 432.0 GTexel/s versus 75.21 GTexel/s.

Power and form factor differ completely. The Radeon PRO V710 has a 158 W TDP, single-slot width, and a 1x 8-pin connector with a suggested 450 W PSU. The RTX 3050 A Mobile has a 45 W TDP, IGP form factor, no power connectors, and no suggested PSU. The bus interface differs as well: PCIe 4.0 x16 for AMD versus PCIe 4.0 x8 for NVIDIA.

Display outputs are reversed in utility. The Radeon PRO V710 has no outputs, while the RTX 3050 A Mobile has portable device dependent outputs. Release dates also differ: the AMD card launched on 2024-10-02, while the NVIDIA part launched on 2023-12-31. The production status shows the RTX 3050 A Mobile as end-of-life, with no status recorded for the Radeon PRO V710.
