AMD Radeon PRO W7400 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a clear performance division between these two mobile graphics processors. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile holds an 84th percentile ranking among all GPUs in the database, while the AMD Radeon PRO W7400 sits at the 50th percentile. The NVIDIA part also carries an average benchmark score of 45152, whereas the AMD card has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, meaning direct numerical comparisons must rely on the NVIDIA card's measured results alone.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile delivers substantial compute performance in synthetic workloads. In Geekbench OpenCL, it scores 201834 points, and in Geekbench Vulkan, it reaches 198405 points. These figures indicate strong general-purpose compute capability across both API paths. The PassMark suite shows a G3D score of 30034, a GPU compute score of 13401, and a G2D score of 1057. In DirectX 9 and DirectX 11 tests, the card records 324 and 269 points respectively, while DirectX 10 and DirectX 12 tests yield 183 and 138 points. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test produces a score of 5871.

When compared to its nearest rivals in the database, the RTX 5090 Mobile shows tight competition. It sits 0.8% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, which posts an average score of 44795. Against the AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT, the RTX 5090 Mobile is 0.5% behind, with the AMD card averaging 45384. The Intel Arc A730M leads by 1% with an average score of 45592, and the NVIDIA RTX 5880 Ada Generation is 1.8% ahead at 45972. These delta percentages reveal that the RTX 5090 Mobile performs within a narrow band of roughly 2% of these four competing parts, despite its higher absolute specifications.

The AMD Radeon PRO W7400 has no benchmark entries in the database, so no head-to-head win counts are recorded for either side. The winsA and winsB fields both show zero, reflecting the absence of direct test comparisons. The analysis must therefore treat the AMD card's capabilities as unmeasured, while the NVIDIA card's performance profile is fully documented.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs use fundamentally different architectures. The AMD Radeon PRO W7400 is built on RDNA 3.0 with the Navi 33 chip and the codename Hotpink Bonefish. It belongs to the Radeon Pro Navi generation. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile uses Blackwell 2.0 with the GB203 chip and belongs to the GeForce 50 Mobile generation.

Manufacturing processes differ significantly. The AMD card uses a 6 nm process at TSMC, while the NVIDIA card uses a 5 nm process, also at TSMC. Transistor counts reflect this gap: the AMD chip contains 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, giving a density of 65.2 million transistors per square millimeter. The NVIDIA chip packs 45,600 million transistors into a 378 mm² die, achieving a density of 120.6 million transistors per square millimeter. This means the NVIDIA chip has roughly 3.4 times the transistor count and nearly double the density.

Ray tracing hardware differs as well. The AMD card includes 28 RT cores, while the NVIDIA card carries 82 RT cores. The NVIDIA part also features 328 tensor cores, a resource the AMD card lacks entirely. Shading units show a wide divide: 1792 on the AMD side versus 10496 on the NVIDIA side. Texture mapping units number 112 on AMD and 328 on NVIDIA, while render output units stand at 64 versus 112.

Both cards support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API feature levels match. The NVIDIA card uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface, whereas the AMD card uses PCIe 4.0 x8. Display outputs differ too: the AMD card provides 4x DisplayPort 2.1 connectors, while the NVIDIA card's outputs are described as portable device dependent, reflecting its mobile integration.

Specification Differences

Clock speeds show notable differences. The AMD Radeon PRO W7400 has a base clock of 330 MHz and a boost clock of 1100 MHz, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile runs at a 990 MHz base and 1515 MHz boost. Memory clocks also differ: the AMD card uses 1350 MHz with 10.8 Gbps effective speed, while the NVIDIA card uses 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective speed.

Memory specifications diverge sharply. The AMD card has 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, delivering 172.8 GB/s bandwidth. The NVIDIA card has 24 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus, delivering 896.0 GB/s bandwidth. This gives the NVIDIA card three times the memory capacity and roughly 5.2 times the bandwidth.

Compute rates scale accordingly. The AMD card achieves 7.885 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16 (1:1), while the NVIDIA card reaches 31.80 TFLOPS for both precision levels. Pixel rate is 70.40 GPixel/s on AMD versus 169.7 GPixel/s on NVIDIA. Texture rate is 123.2 GTexel/s versus 496.9 GTexel/s.

Power and physical characteristics differ. The AMD card has a TDP of 55 W, while the NVIDIA card has a TDP of 95 W. The AMD card is single-slot with dimensions of 168 mm length, 69 mm height, and 20 mm width. The NVIDIA card is listed as IGP (integrated graphics processor) with no recorded dimensions. Neither card uses external power connectors, and the AMD card suggests a 250 W power supply while the NVIDIA card has no suggested PSU figure.

Release dates differ by several months. The AMD card launched on 2025-08-02, while the NVIDIA card launched earlier on 2025-03-26. The AMD card's predecessor is the Radeon Pro Vega, and the NVIDIA card's predecessor is the GeForce 40 Mobile. Both are currently active in production.

The Verdict

The data supports a straightforward choice for users who need measured performance. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile delivers verified benchmark results across compute, graphics, and API-specific tests, with an average score of 45152 and an 84th percentile ranking. The AMD Radeon PRO W7400 has no recorded benchmark scores and sits at the 50th percentile, offering no empirical evidence of its performance level in this database.

The NVIDIA card also carries substantially higher specifications in every measurable category: more transistors, higher clock speeds, more memory, wider bus, higher bandwidth, more shading units, more RT cores, and higher compute rates. Its 95 W TDP is higher than the AMD card's 55 W, but for a mobile part, the performance headroom appears justified by the benchmark results.

The AMD card does offer advantages in specific areas. Its 55 W TDP is lower, its single-slot form factor with defined dimensions suits certain compact builds, and its 4x DisplayPort 2.1 outputs provide a fixed display interface configuration. The NVIDIA card's portable device dependent outputs may require more integration effort.

For users who prioritize verified performance and are willing to accept higher power draw, the RTX 5090 Mobile is the clear choice based on recorded data. For users who need a lower-power, single-slot card with fixed display outputs and do not require the extreme compute levels, the Radeon PRO W7400 has structural merits, but its lack of benchmark data leaves its actual performance unproven.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile wins in every category where measurements exist. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 201834 and Vulkan score of 198405 show strong compute performance. Its PassMark G3D score of 30034 indicates solid 3D graphics capability, and its GPU compute score of 13401 reinforces compute-oriented workloads. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result of 5871 demonstrates DirectX 12 gaming performance. Across all benchmark types recorded, the NVIDIA card delivers measurable results.

The AMD Radeon PRO W7400 wins in power efficiency, with a 55 W TDP versus 95 W for the NVIDIA part. It also wins on physical footprint flexibility, offering a single-slot design with explicit dimensions of 168 mm by 69 mm by 20 mm, whereas the NVIDIA card has no recorded dimensions and is classified as IGP. The AMD card's fixed 4x DisplayPort 2.1 outputs provide a known display configuration, while the NVIDIA card's outputs depend on the portable device implementation.

In terms of nearest rival comparisons, the RTX 5090 Mobile performs competitively but does not dominate. It is 0.8% ahead of the RTX 4070 Ti, yet 0.5% behind the Radeon Pro 5500 XT, 1% behind the Arc A730M, and 1.8% behind the RTX 5880 Ada Generation. These narrow margins indicate that the RTX 5090 Mobile's real-world performance sits close to several other high-end parts, even though its specifications suggest higher potential.

The practical takeaway from the database: choose the RTX 5090 Mobile for any workload requiring proven compute or graphics performance, and consider the Radeon PRO W7400 only when low power draw, a compact single-slot layout, and fixed DisplayPort outputs take priority over raw benchmark results.
