AMD Radeon Pro VII vs AMD Radeon RX 7600M Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only direct benchmark comparison recorded in the database is the Geekbench OpenCL test, and the result is decisive. The AMD Radeon Pro VII scores 90,148 points, while the AMD Radeon RX 7600M scores 63,775 points. That is a 41.4% advantage for the Pro VII, a massive gap that separates these two GPUs into entirely different performance tiers.

Looking at the broader database picture, the Pro VII sits at the 93rd percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 97,131 across all recorded tests. The RX 7600M, by contrast, sits at the 89th percentile, but its average benchmark score is just 63,775, which is the same as its single OpenCL result since that is the only benchmark recorded for it. The percentile difference may look small at first glance, but the raw score gap tells the real story: the Pro VII holds a lead of roughly 33,356 points, or 52.3% over the RX 7600M's average.

The Pro VII's nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Radeon RX 7900M at 97,487 (only 0.4% ahead of the Pro VII), the NVIDIA Quadro RTX 6000 at 101,872 (4.7% ahead), and the AMD Radeon Instinct MI60 at 92,466 (5% behind the Pro VII). It also beats the NVIDIA RTX A4500, which scores 91,671, by 6%. These comparisons show that the Pro VII is not merely a workstation card with a niche lead; it holds its own against some of the most capable GPUs in the database, trading blows with the RX 7900M and sitting within striking distance of the Quadro RTX 6000.

The RX 7600M's nearest rivals paint a very different picture. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP scores 63,830, just 0.1% ahead of the RX 7600M. The NVIDIA CMP 30HX scores 63,842, also 0.1% ahead. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 scores 63,693, which is 0.1% behind the RX 7600M, and the AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100 scores 64,212, putting it 0.7% ahead. These are all extremely close scores, indicating that the RX 7600M is clustered with mid-range workstation and mining cards from several generations ago, not with the high-end compute class that the Pro VII occupies.

The single head-to-head result is unambiguous. In OpenCL, a compute-focused API that both cards support fully, the Pro VII outperforms the RX 7600M by over 40%. No other shared benchmark exists in the database, so this one metric carries the weight of the comparison. The Pro VII's score is also higher than any of the RX 7600M's nearest rivals, meaning that even the best-case comparisons for the RX 7600M do not approach the Pro VII's compute output.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon Pro VII wins decisively in raw compute throughput. Its 13.06 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 26.11 TFLOPS of FP16 performance dwarf the RX 7600M's 17.27 TFLOPS FP32 and 34.55 TFLOPS FP16 on paper, but the benchmark data tells a different story than the spec sheet. The recorded OpenCL result of 90,148 versus 63,775 shows that the Pro VII's older architecture translates into substantially higher real-world compute scores. This matters for anyone running OpenCL workloads such as rendering, scientific simulation, or video encoding tasks that rely on the compute units.

The Pro VII also wins on memory bandwidth by an enormous margin. A 1.02 TB/s bandwidth over a 4096-bit bus is in a different class from the RX 7600M's 256.0 GB/s over a 128-bit bus. For workloads that are memory-bound, such as large dataset processing or high-resolution texture streaming, the Pro VII has a fourfold advantage in memory throughput. The 16 GB of HBM2 memory also doubles the RX 7600M's 8 GB capacity, which matters for holding larger working sets in VRAM without spilling to system memory.

The RX 7600M wins in a few specific areas that the data supports. It has a higher boost clock at 2410 MHz versus 1700 MHz, and it carries 28 ray tracing cores, a feature the Pro VII lacks entirely. Its pixel rate of 154.2 GPixel/s exceeds the Pro VII's 108.8 GPixel/s, which suggests an advantage in fill-rate-bound scenarios. The RX 7600M also draws only 90 W of power compared to the Pro VII's 250 W, making it far more efficient per watt, though the database does not record a direct efficiency metric. For mobile or compact builds, the RX 7600M's IGP form factor and lack of external power connectors are practical wins.

In the database's percentile rankings, the Pro VII sits at 93 versus the RX 7600M's 89, a modest gap that reflects the Pro VII's higher average score. The RX 7600M's nearest rivals all score within 0.7% of it, which indicates that it is a solidly mid-pack performer. The Pro VII, by contrast, is within 4.7% of the Quadro RTX 6000, a card that typically commands a very high price tier. The data positions the Pro VII as a high-end compute card and the RX 7600M as a competent but not exceptional mobile GPU.

Architecture Differences

The two cards come from completely different architectural generations. The Pro VII uses the Vega 20 chip built on GCN 5.1 architecture, fabricated on a 7 nm process at TSMC. The RX 7600M uses the Navi 33 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, also fabricated at TSMC but on a 6 nm process. The codename for the RX 7600M is "Hotpink Bonefish," while the Pro VII has no recorded codename.

Transistor counts are nearly identical: 13,230 million for the Pro VII and 13,300 million for the RX 7600M. However, the die sizes diverge sharply. The Pro VII's die measures 331 mm², while the RX 7600M's die is just 204 mm². This yields a transistor density of 40.0 million transistors per mm² for the Pro VII versus 65.2 million per mm² for the RX 7600M. The RX 7600M packs more transistors into a smaller area, a direct result of the newer 6 nm process.

The compute configuration differs fundamentally. The Pro VII has 3840 shading units, 240 texture mapping units, and 64 raster output units. The RX 7600M has 1792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs. The Pro VII has more than double the shading units and TMUs, which explains its compute dominance. The RX 7600M compensates with 28 ray tracing cores, a feature that the Pro VII does not have at all. Neither card has tensor cores.

Memory architecture is the most dramatic difference. The Pro VII uses 16 GB of HBM2 on a 4096-bit bus, yielding 1.02 TB/s of bandwidth and a memory clock of 1000 MHz (2 Gbps effective). The RX 7600M uses 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, yielding 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth and a memory clock of 2000 MHz (16 Gbps effective). The Pro VII's memory system is built for throughput, while the RX 7600M's is built for capacity efficiency in a mobile power envelope.

Clock speeds favor the RX 7600M. Its base clock is 1500 MHz, its boost clock is 2410 MHz, and its game clock is 2070 MHz. The Pro VII's base clock is 1400 MHz and its boost clock is 1700 MHz. Despite the lower clocks, the Pro VII achieves higher compute throughput because of its massive shading unit count.

API support differs in important ways. The Pro VII supports DirectX 12 (12_1), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3. The RX 7600M supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The RX 7600M's DirectX 12 Ultimate and Vulkan 1.4 support reflects its newer architecture, while the Pro VII's DirectX 12_1 is a generation behind.

The Pro VII is a dual-slot card with 1x 6-pin and 1x 8-pin power connectors, a 600 W suggested PSU, and dimensions of 305 mm in length and 111 mm in height. The RX 7600M is an IGP (integrated graphics processor) with no power connectors and no recorded dimensions, designed for mobile integration. The Pro VII has 6x mini-DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, while the RX 7600M's display outputs are portable device dependent.

The Pro VII is end-of-life, released on May 12, 2020, with a predecessor of Radeon Pro Polaris and a successor of Radeon Pro Navi. The RX 7600M is active, released on January 3, 2023, with a predecessor of Polaris Mobile and no recorded successor. The Pro VII belongs to the Radeon Pro Vega (Vega II Series) generation, while the RX 7600M belongs to the Navi Mobile (RX 7000M) generation.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear split between these two cards. The AMD Radeon Pro VII is the choice for compute-heavy workloads where OpenCL performance, memory bandwidth, and VRAM capacity are paramount. Its 41.4% lead over the RX 7600M in the recorded OpenCL benchmark, combined with 16 GB of HBM2 and 1.02 TB/s of bandwidth, makes it the superior option for rendering, simulation, and large dataset processing. The Pro VII also sits near the top of the database, trading within 0.4% of the RX 7900M and within 4.7% of the Quadro RTX 6000, which places it in elite company.

The AMD Radeon RX 7600M is the choice for mobile systems and workloads that benefit from its newer architecture. Its 28 ray tracing cores, DirectX 12 Ultimate support, Vulkan 1.4 support, and 90 W power envelope make it suitable for ray-traced gaming or portable workstations. Its higher boost clock of 2410 MHz and pixel rate of 154.2 GPixel/s also give it an edge in certain fill-rate-bound scenarios. However, its compute performance is firmly mid-range: its nearest rivals all score within 0.7% of it, and it trails the Pro VII by a wide margin in the only shared benchmark.

For a desktop workstation with power headroom and a need for raw compute, the Pro VII is the clear pick. For a laptop or compact system where power draw and form factor matter, the RX 7600M is the only viable option of the two. The Pro VII's end-of-life status and the RX 7600M's active production status also factor into long-term availability, but the recorded performance data leaves no ambiguity about which card is faster in compute tasks.
