Analysis: AMD Radeon PRO V710 vs NVIDIA N1X 48SM
Where Each One Wins
The recorded data splits these two accelerators into very different roles. The AMD Radeon PRO V710 is a measurable, benchmarked graphics compute card with two recorded test scores. The NVIDIA N1X 48SM is an unbenchmarked integrated graphics processor with no scores in the database, making direct performance comparisons impossible. The V710 holds every measurable win by default because the N1X has no recorded results.
The V710 posts an average benchmark score of 58657, placing it in the 88th percentile among all GPUs. Its strongest recorded result is 116460 in Geekbench OpenCL, a compute-oriented test. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 853 shows a moderate DirectX 12 workload performance. The N1X 48SM, by contrast, has an average benchmark score of 0 and sits in the 50th percentile, with no nearest rivals and no head-to-head data.
For workloads where the N1X might conceptually win, the data provides no evidence. The N1X has 128 GB of LPDDR5X memory versus the V710's 28 GB, and 6144 shading units versus 3456, but without benchmark scores these specifications cannot be converted into performance conclusions. The database records zero wins for either side in head-to-head benchmarks, and both items show zero wins in the winsA and winsB fields. The practical takeaway: the V710 is the only one of the two with verified performance data, and it wins every recorded comparison by default.
Architecture Differences
The two processors come from different manufacturers and entirely different design philosophies. The AMD Radeon PRO V710 uses the Navi 32 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, with the codename Wheat Nas, belonging to the Radeon Pro Navi (Navi III Series) generation. It is fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC, containing 28,100 million transistors on a 346 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 81.2M per mm².
The NVIDIA N1X 48SM uses the GB20B chip on Blackwell 2.0 architecture, part of the Blackwell IGP (N1x) generation. It also uses a 5 nm process at TSMC, but its transistor count is listed as unknown. Its die size is 382 mm², which is larger than the V710's 346 mm² die. The N1X has no transistor density figure recorded.
Clock behavior differs sharply. The V710 runs at a 1900 MHz base and 2000 MHz boost, with memory at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective). The N1X has a much lower 741 MHz base clock but a higher 2346 MHz boost, with memory at 1067 MHz (8.5 Gbps effective). The N1X's boost clock exceeds the V710's by 346 MHz, but its base clock is 1159 MHz lower.
Memory architecture diverges completely. The V710 uses 28 GB of GDDR6 on a 224-bit bus, delivering 504.0 GB/s bandwidth. The N1X uses 128 GB of LPDDR5X on a 256-bit bus, but its bandwidth is only 273.2 GB/s, which is 230.8 GB/s lower than the V710 despite the wider bus and larger capacity.
Compute resources differ in count and type. The V710 has 3456 shading units, 216 TMUs, 96 ROPs, and 54 RT cores, with no tensor cores listed. The N1X has 6144 shading units, 384 TMUs, 48 ROPs, 48 RT cores, and 192 tensor cores. The N1X has more shading units by 2688 and more TMUs by 168, but the V710 has double the ROPs (96 versus 48) and six more RT cores.
The V710 outputs 27.65 TFLOPS in both FP32 and FP16 (1:1 ratio). The N1X outputs 28.83 TFLOPS in both FP32 and FP16 (1:1 ratio), which is 1.18 TFLOPS higher. Pixel rates favor the V710 at 192.0 GPixel/s versus 112.6 GPixel/s for the N1X, while texture rates heavily favor the N1X at 900.9 GTexel/s versus 432.0 GTexel/s.
Form factor and power delivery are fundamentally different. The V710 is a single-slot card with a 1x 8-pin power connector and a 158 W TDP, requiring a 450 W suggested PSU. The N1X is an IGP (integrated graphics processor) with no power connectors, an unknown TDP, and no suggested PSU. The V710 uses PCIe 4.0 x16, while the N1X uses PCIe 5.0 x16. The V710 has no display outputs, while the N1X has 1x HDMI.
API support differs significantly. The V710 supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The N1X lists DirectX as N/A, OpenGL as N/A, and Vulkan as N/A. This means the V710 is a fully API-compatible graphics compute device, while the N1X has no recorded API support.
Release timing also differs. The V710 was released on 2024-10-02, with its predecessor listed as Radeon Pro Vega. The N1X has a release date of 2026-05-31, is marked as Active in production status, and has no predecessor recorded.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks
The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for these two products. The headToHeadBenchmarks field is empty, and both winsA and winsB are zero. This absence of direct comparison data means all numerical comparisons must rely on the separately recorded benchmark scores and specification figures.
The V710's recorded benchmarks show a split between compute and graphics workloads. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 116460 is substantially higher than its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 853, indicating strong compute performance relative to its DirectX 12 rendering performance. The N1X has no comparable scores, so no head-to-head numerical walkthrough is possible.
The nearest rivals for the V710 provide context for its average score of 58657. The NVIDIA P102-100 scores 58528, a 0.2% delta. The AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT scores 58392, a 0.5% delta. The Intel Arc A570M scores 58239, a 0.7% delta. The AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM scores 58085, a 1% delta. These figures show the V710 sits slightly above all four nearest rivals in average benchmark score, with margins ranging from 0.2% to 1%.
The N1X has no nearest rivals listed and no average score to compare. Its percentile of 50 places it at the midpoint of all GPUs in the database, but this figure is based on zero recorded benchmarks. The V710's 88th percentile, by contrast, is supported by actual measured results.
The specification-based FP32 comparison shows the N1X ahead at 28.83 TFLOPS versus 27.65 TFLOPS, a difference of 1.18 TFLOPS or approximately 4.3% higher. Texture rate also favors the N1X at 900.9 GTexel/s versus 432.0 GTexel/s, more than double. However, the V710 leads in pixel rate at 192.0 GPixel/s versus 112.6 GPixel/s, a margin of 79.4 GPixel/s or roughly 70% higher. These specification advantages cannot be verified in actual benchmark performance because the N1X has no scores.
The Verdict
The data clearly indicates that the AMD Radeon PRO V710 is the only one of the two with verified performance in the database. Its average benchmark score of 58657, 88th percentile ranking, and two recorded test results provide concrete evidence of its capabilities. The NVIDIA N1X 48SM, with zero benchmarks, zero average score, and no nearest rivals, cannot be evaluated for real-world performance from the recorded data.
Users seeking a graphics compute device with measurable DirectX 12 and OpenCL performance should select the V710. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 853 and Geekbench OpenCL score of 116460, combined with its 158 W TDP and single-slot form factor, make it a viable option for compute-oriented tasks. Its 504.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 27.65 TFLOPS FP32 output support this positioning.
The N1X 48SM offers specification advantages that cannot be confirmed by benchmark data. Its 128 GB memory capacity, 6144 shading units, 192 tensor cores, and 28.83 TFLOPS FP32 are all recorded, but no test results exist to validate how these translate into performance. Its IGP form factor, no power connectors, and N/A API support suggest a fundamentally different use case, likely integrated into a larger system rather than operating as a standalone graphics card.
The V710's release date of 2024-10-02 and active predecessor lineage (Radeon Pro Vega) indicate an established product line. The N1X's release date of 2026-05-31 and Active production status suggest a newer, but unverified, entry. The V710's API support (DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, Vulkan 1.4) versus the N1X's N/A entries further reinforces that the V710 is the functional choice for software compatibility.
For anyone needing a benchmarked, API-compatible graphics compute solution, the V710 is the only option supported by recorded data. The N1X remains a specification sheet without measured proof of performance.
