AMD Radeon PRO W7400 vs Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results for the AMD Radeon PRO W7400 versus the Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100. Both products share the same 50th percentile ranking against all GPUs in the database, and neither has an average benchmark score entered. As such, the comparison rests on architectural specifications and measured capabilities rather than frame-rate or compute-score deltas.

What the data does show is a stark contrast in raw compute throughput. The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 delivers 22.22 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, while the AMD Radeon PRO W7400 reaches 7.885 TFLOPS. That places the Intel part at roughly 2.8 times the FP32 output of the AMD card, a substantial margin for any workload that scales linearly with shader count. The Intel GPU carries 7168 shading units against 1792 for the AMD part, a 4:1 ratio, though clock speeds narrow the gap somewhat: Intel boosts to 1550 MHz, while AMD boosts to 1100 MHz.

Texture throughput follows the same pattern. The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 reaches 694.4 GTexel/s, versus 123.2 GTexel/s for the AMD Radeon PRO W7400. That is a 5.6 times advantage for Intel. The AMD card counters in pixel throughput, however. The AMD Radeon PRO W7400 outputs 70.40 GPixel/s, while the Intel part records 0 MPixel/s, effectively no pixel output capability. This reflects the Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100's lack of display outputs entirely, making it unsuitable for any rasterization-to-display workflow.

Memory bandwidth tells a similarly lopsided story. The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 uses 48 GB of HBM2e across an 8192-bit bus, yielding 1.23 TB/s of bandwidth. The AMD Radeon PRO W7400 has 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, producing 172.8 GB/s. Intel's memory subsystem provides roughly 7.1 times the bandwidth of AMD's, a decisive factor for large data sets, neural network weights, or in-memory compute workloads.

Clock speeds themselves differ meaningfully. Intel's base clock sits at 1000 MHz with a 1550 MHz boost. AMD's base is just 330 MHz, climbing to 1100 MHz at boost. The AMD card's low base clock suggests aggressive power gating or a design optimized for burst workloads, given its 55 W TDP. Intel's 300 W TDP reflects a far higher sustained power envelope.

Ray tracing hardware also favors Intel. The Data Center GPU Max 1100 includes 56 ray tracing cores, while the Radeon PRO W7400 has 28. For any RT-accelerated rendering or ray-traced compute, the Intel part offers double the dedicated units. Neither card lists tensor cores, so AI acceleration relies on general-purpose shader or RT hardware.

The AMD card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), while the Intel part is limited to DirectX 12 (12_1). Both support OpenGL 4.6. AMD lists Vulkan 1.4 support; Intel lists no Vulkan support in the database. This makes the AMD Radeon PRO W7400 the only one of the two with current-generation graphics API coverage across all three major standards.

The Verdict

The data points to two entirely different products with minimal overlap in intended use. The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 is a compute-first accelerator with no display outputs, 48 GB of HBM2e, and 22.22 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput. It is built for data center workloads where memory capacity and bandwidth dominate. The AMD Radeon PRO W7400 is a workstation graphics card with four DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, 8 GB of GDDR6, and 7.885 TFLOPS, suitable for professional visualization and API-complete rendering.

For compute-heavy tasks such as large-scale simulation, AI inference, or scientific data processing, the Intel part holds a clear advantage in every measured compute metric: FP32, texture rate, memory size, and bandwidth. Its 300 W TDP and 700 W suggested PSU reflect the cost of that performance. The AMD card's 55 W TDP and 250 W suggested PSU make it a low-power option, but the data does not support it as a compute competitor to the Intel part.

For workstation graphics, the AMD Radeon PRO W7400 is the only viable choice between the two, given the Intel card has no display outputs and a 0 MPixel/s pixel rate. The AMD card also supports DirectX 12 Ultimate and Vulkan 1.4, whereas Intel only reaches DirectX 12_1 with no Vulkan entry. Software compatibility for modern graphics APIs rests entirely with AMD.

The database shows both GPUs at the same 50th percentile overall, but that ranking masks the divergence in their design goals. The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 targets raw throughput and memory capacity; the AMD Radeon PRO W7400 targets a balanced workstation feature set with low power draw. Users needing display output and current API support should select the AMD card. Users prioritizing compute density and memory bandwidth should select the Intel part.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon PRO W7400 uses the Navi 33 chip on a 6 nm TSMC process, with a die size of 204 mm² and 13,300 million transistors. Its transistor density measures 65.2 million per mm². The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 uses the Ponte Vecchio chip on a 10 nm Intel process, with a die size of 1280 mm² and 100,000 million transistors, yielding 78.1 million per mm². Intel's chip is over six times larger by die area and contains roughly 7.5 times more transistors, though on a less advanced node.

AMD's architecture is RDNA 3.0, codenamed Hotpink Bonefish, part of the Radeon Pro Navi generation. Intel's architecture is Generation 12.5, part of the Data Center GPU (Ponte Vecchio) lineup. The AMD card uses a 128-bit memory bus with GDDR6, while Intel uses an 8192-bit bus with HBM2e. That bus width difference explains the bandwidth disparity: 172.8 GB/s for AMD versus 1.23 TB/s for Intel.

The AMD Radeon PRO W7400 has 1792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, 64 ROPs, and 28 ray tracing cores. The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 has 7168 shading units, 448 TMUs, 0 ROPs, and 56 ray tracing cores. The Intel part has no ROPs at all, consistent with its lack of display outputs and pixel rendering capability.

Process node differences affect power efficiency. AMD's 6 nm TSMC process enables a 55 W TDP with no power connectors required, drawing power entirely through the PCIe slot. Intel's 10 nm process requires 300 W TDP and a single 12-pin power connector. The suggested PSU ratings are 250 W for AMD and 700 W for Intel.

Physical dimensions diverge as well. The AMD card measures 168 mm in length, 69 mm in height, and 20 mm in width, fitting a single-slot form factor. The Intel card is 267 mm long and occupies a dual-slot design. The AMD card uses a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface; the Intel card uses PCIe 5.0 x16, doubling the lane count and doubling the interface generation.

Memory clocks differ: AMD runs its GDDR6 at 1350 MHz (10.8 Gbps effective), while Intel runs its HBM2e at 600 MHz (1200 Mbps effective). The lower clock on Intel's memory is offset by the enormous bus width.

API support reflects their different roles. AMD supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Intel supports DirectX 12 (12_1) and OpenGL 4.6, with no Vulkan listed. The AMD card also has four DisplayPort 2.1 outputs; the Intel card has no outputs.

Release dates place the Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 in early 2023, with the AMD Radeon PRO W7400 arriving later in mid-2025. The Intel part has a listed successor, H3C Graphics; the AMD card has a predecessor, Radeon Pro Vega, and no successor listed.
