AMD Radeon PRO V710 vs NVIDIA N1 16SM Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows no direct head-to-head benchmark entries for the AMD Radeon PRO V710 and the NVIDIA N1 16SM. The database contains zero matching test results between the two parts, so a direct score-for-score comparison cannot be constructed from the available measurements.

The AMD Radeon PRO V710, however, has two recorded benchmark results. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it scores 853 points. In Geekbench OpenCL, it scores 116,460 points. Its average benchmark score sits at 58,657, placing it in the 88th percentile of all GPUs in the database. The NVIDIA N1 16SM has no recorded benchmark scores, an average benchmark score of 0, and sits in the 50th percentile. The absence of measurements for the N1 means the only quantitative comparison possible is against the V710's nearest rivals.

The V710's nearest rival, the NVIDIA P102-100, posts an average score of 58,528, which is 0.2% behind the V710. The AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT trails by 0.5% at 58,392. The Intel Arc A570M is 0.7% behind at 58,239. The AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM is 1% behind at 58,085. These deltas are small, indicating the V710 sits in a tightly packed performance band where the top four rivals are all within one percentage point of its average score.

The biggest gap in this cluster is the 1% difference between the V710 and the RX 5600 OEM. That margin is modest but consistent across the four rivals, suggesting the V710 leads its immediate competitive set by a narrow but measurable amount. The N1 16SM, with no recorded scores, cannot be positioned within this ranking.

The Verdict

The data indicates a clear separation between these two products, but not in the way a typical GPU comparison would suggest. The AMD Radeon PRO V710 is a benchmarked, percentile-ranked discrete accelerator with a measured average score of 58,657. The NVIDIA N1 16SM is an unmeasured integrated GPU with an average score of zero and a 50th percentile placement, which is the midpoint of the database distribution. That percentile value is derived from its lack of recorded data rather than from any observed performance.

For workloads that rely on the V710's measured strengths, the Radeon PRO V710 is the only one of the two with evidence in the database. It delivers 27.65 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, 504.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth, and 28 GB of GDDR6 memory. The N1 16SM, by contrast, has no benchmark entries and no measurable average score. Any selection between the two would favor the V710 on the basis of available evidence alone.

The N1 16SM does have attributes that the V710 lacks. It offers 128 GB of LPDDR5X memory, a 256-bit memory bus, 64 tensor cores, and a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface. It also has an integrated form factor with no power connectors and one HDMI output. The V710 has no display outputs and requires a single 8-pin power connector. For a system that needs display output and unified memory capacity, the N1 is the only option with those features in the recorded data. For raw compute performance, the V710 is the only option with recorded results.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different architectural generations. The AMD Radeon PRO V710 uses the Navi 32 chip built on RDNA 3.0, with the codename Wheat Nas. It belongs to the Radeon Pro Navi (Navi III Series) generation. The NVIDIA N1 16SM uses the GB20B chip built on Blackwell 2.0, belonging to the Blackwell IGP (N1x) generation.

Both parts are fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC. The V710's die measures 346 mm² and contains 28,100 million transistors, giving a transistor density of 81.2 million per mm². The N1's die is larger at 382 mm², but its transistor count is listed as unknown, so no density figure is available.

Clock behavior differs substantially. The V710 has a base clock of 1900 MHz and a boost clock of 2000 MHz. The N1 has a much lower base clock of 741 MHz but a higher boost clock of 2346 MHz. The V710's memory runs at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective, while the N1's memory runs at 1067 MHz with 8.5 Gbps effective.

The compute resources are heavily skewed toward the V710. It has 3456 shading units, 216 texture mapping units, 96 render output units, and 54 ray tracing cores. The N1 has 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, 24 ROPs, and 16 ray tracing cores. The N1 does include 64 tensor cores, a feature the V710 does not list. The V710's pixel rate is 192.0 GPixel/s and its texture rate is 432.0 GTexel/s. The N1's pixel rate is 56.30 GPixel/s and its texture rate is 300.3 GTexel/s.

Memory capacity and bandwidth also diverge. The V710 uses 28 GB of GDDR6 across a 224-bit bus, delivering 504.0 GB/s. The N1 uses 128 GB of LPDDR5X across a 256-bit bus, delivering 273.2 GB/s. The V710 has more bandwidth, while the N1 has four and a half times the capacity.

The V710 supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The N1 lists N/A for DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan. The V710 uses PCIe 4.0 x16, while the N1 uses PCIe 5.0 x16. The V710 is a single-slot card with a 158 W TDP and a suggested 450 W PSU. The N1 is an integrated graphics processor with no power connectors and unknown TDP.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon PRO V710 wins in every measured performance category in the database. Its FP32 throughput of 27.65 TFLOPS is nearly three times the N1's 9.609 TFLOPS. Its texture rate of 432.0 GTexel/s outpaces the N1's 300.3 GTexel/s by more than 40%. Its pixel rate of 192.0 GPixel/s is more than three times the N1's 56.30 GPixel/s. Its memory bandwidth of 504.0 GB/s nearly doubles the N1's 273.2 GB/s. It also has more shading units, TMUs, ROPs, and ray tracing cores. The V710's 158 W TDP, single-slot design, and 8-pin power connector suit a discrete accelerator slot in a workstation.

The NVIDIA N1 16SM wins on capacity and integration. Its 128 GB of LPDDR5X memory is 100 GB more than the V710's 28 GB. Its 64 tensor cores are a resource the V710 does not list. Its PCIe 5.0 x16 interface is a generation newer than the V710's PCIe 4.0 x16. Its integrated form factor requires no power connectors and no external cooler, and it provides one HDMI output, which the V710 lacks entirely. The N1's boost clock of 2346 MHz is also higher than the V710's 2000 MHz, though its base clock of 741 MHz is much lower.

The V710 is the choice for compute workloads where FP32, texturing, rasterization, and memory bandwidth are the limiting factors. The N1 is the choice for systems that need very large memory capacity, tensor core acceleration, display output, and a compact integrated footprint. The recorded data contains no benchmark overlap, so the N1's actual performance remains unquantified.
