AMD Radeon PRO V710 vs NVIDIA H20 NVL16 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for the AMD Radeon PRO V710 and the NVIDIA H20 NVL16 presents an unusual comparison challenge. The AMD card has two benchmark entries in the database, while the NVIDIA H20 NVL16 currently has no recorded benchmark scores. The head-to-head benchmark table is empty, and neither card registers a win in the direct comparison field. This means the quantitative comparison must rest on what the database does contain: the AMD card's measured performance, its percentile ranking, and the specification sheet for the NVIDIA part.

The AMD Radeon PRO V710 delivers a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 853 and a Geekbench OpenCL score of 116460. Its average benchmark score across recorded tests is 58657. That average places it at the 88th percentile among all GPUs in the database. To give that context, the nearest rivals are listed with their average scores and percentage deltas. The NVIDIA P102-100 sits at 58528, a 0.2 percent gap. The AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT follows at 58392, a 0.5 percent difference. Intel Arc A570M scores 58239, a 0.7 percent delta. AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM rounds out the group at 58085, 1 percent behind. The V710 leads all four nearest rivals by a narrow margin, with the largest separation being a single percentage point.

The NVIDIA H20 NVL16 has no benchmarks listed, an average score of zero, and a percentile ranking of 50. With no measured scores, the database treats it as unproven in direct performance comparisons. The percentile of 50 indicates it sits at the median position in the database ranking, but that figure likely reflects the absence of recorded performance data rather than actual measured capability. The head-to-head wins column shows zero for both cards, which aligns with the empty benchmark table.

Because the NVIDIA part lacks benchmark results, the only meaningful head-to-head analysis comes from comparing the AMD card's measured performance against the NVIDIA card's theoretical specifications. The AMD card's 88th percentile ranking demonstrates solid standing among all recorded GPUs, while the NVIDIA card's 50th percentile with no scores means it cannot be positioned relative to the AMD card in any measured sense. The data simply does not support a direct score comparison.

The Verdict

The database records one clear verdict: the AMD Radeon PRO V710 has measured benchmark data and the NVIDIA H20 NVL16 does not. Any user relying on recorded performance figures will find the AMD card at the 88th percentile with an average score of 58657, while the NVIDIA card has no scores to evaluate. The AMD card's nearest rivals all trail by less than 1.1 percent, which indicates the V710 performs in a tightly packed band of GPUs near the top of the database distribution.

For workloads where measured performance matters, the AMD Radeon PRO V710 is the only card with data to support a decision. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 853 and Geekbench OpenCL score of 116460 provide concrete reference points. The NVIDIA H20 NVL16 cannot be recommended on the basis of benchmark results, because none exist in the database.

However, the specification sheet tells a different story for compute-oriented tasks. The NVIDIA card carries 9984 shading units, 312 tensor cores, 96 GB of HBM3 memory, a 6144-bit memory bus, and 4.03 TB/s of memory bandwidth. The AMD card has 3456 shading units, 54 ray tracing cores, 28 GB of GDDR6 memory, a 224-bit bus, and 504.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The NVIDIA part also delivers 39.54 TFLOPS FP32 and 79.07 TFLOPS FP16, compared to the AMD card's 27.65 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16. On paper, the NVIDIA H20 NVL16 is substantially more capable in raw compute throughput and memory capacity. The absence of benchmarks means this remains a specification-based conclusion, not a measured one.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon PRO V710 wins in the only category the database can score: recorded benchmark performance. Its 88th percentile ranking and average score of 58657 place it above all four nearest rivals. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result of 853 reflects DX12 gaming and graphics workload capability, while the Geekbench OpenCL score of 116460 indicates compute performance under OpenCL. The card uses the RDNA 3.0 architecture with 54 ray tracing cores, which means it supports DirectX 12 Ultimate with feature level 12_2, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Its 28 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 224-bit bus delivers 504.0 GB/s, and its 158 W TDP with a single-slot form factor and one 8-pin power connector makes it a modest power draw relative to its performance class.

The NVIDIA H20 NVL16 wins on paper specifications that matter for large-scale compute and AI workloads. Its 96 GB of HBM3 memory with 4.03 TB/s bandwidth is roughly 3.4 times the memory capacity and eight times the bandwidth of the AMD card. The 6144-bit memory bus dwarfs the AMD card's 224-bit bus. The 312 tensor cores provide dedicated hardware for tensor operations, which the AMD card lacks entirely. The 9984 shading units and 312 TMUs give the NVIDIA part significantly more parallel processing resources. Its FP16 throughput of 79.07 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio doubles its FP32 figure, indicating strong mixed-precision compute capability. The 400 W TDP and SXM Module form factor, with an 800 W suggested PSU, place it in a different power and physical class.

The PCIe interface also differs. The NVIDIA card uses PCIe 5.0 x16, while the AMD card uses PCIe 4.0 x16. Both cards have no display outputs, so neither is intended for direct video output. The NVIDIA card is listed as Active in production status, while the AMD card has no production status recorded.

Architecture Differences

The two cards come from fundamentally different architecture families. The AMD Radeon PRO V710 uses the Navi 32 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, with the codename Wheat Nas, and belongs to the Radeon Pro Navi generation. The NVIDIA H20 NVL16 uses the GH100 chip built on Hopper architecture and belongs to the Server Hopper generation.

Both cards are fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC, but the die sizes differ substantially. The NVIDIA chip measures 814 mm² with 80,000 million transistors, while the AMD chip measures 346 mm² with 28,100 million transistors. Transistor density also favors the NVIDIA part: 98.3 million transistors per mm² versus 81.2 million per mm².

The AMD card features 3456 shading units, 216 texture mapping units, 96 raster operation pipelines, and 54 ray tracing cores. The NVIDIA card features 9984 shading units, 312 texture mapping units, 24 raster operation pipelines, and 312 tensor cores. The NVIDIA card has no listed ray tracing cores. The shading unit count gives the NVIDIA part nearly three times the parallel shader resources, while the AMD card has four times the raster operation pipelines, which explains the pixel rate difference: 192.0 GPixel/s for the AMD card versus 47.52 GPixel/s for the NVIDIA card.

The compute throughput figures reflect the architectural split. The AMD card achieves 27.65 TFLOPS FP32 and the same 27.65 TFLOPS FP16, indicating a 1:1 ratio. The NVIDIA card achieves 39.54 TFLOPS FP32 and 79.07 TFLOPS FP16, indicating a 2:1 ratio that doubles FP16 throughput. The texture rate also differs: 432.0 GTexel/s for AMD versus 617.8 GTexel/s for NVIDIA.

API support diverges sharply. The AMD card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate with feature level 12_2, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The NVIDIA card lists N/A for DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan, reflecting its server-oriented design with no consumer graphics API support.

Specification Differences

The memory subsystems represent the largest specification gap. The AMD Radeon PRO V710 ships with 28 GB of GDDR6 memory, a 224-bit bus, and 504.0 GB/s of bandwidth, with memory clocked at 2250 MHz or 18 Gbps effective. The NVIDIA H20 NVL16 ships with 96 GB of HBM3 memory, a 6144-bit bus, and 4.03 TB/s of bandwidth, with memory clocked at 1313 MHz or 5.3 Gbps effective.
