AMD Radeon PRO W7400 vs NVIDIA RTX 6000D Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the AMD Radeon PRO W7400 and the NVIDIA RTX 6000D. The AMD Radeon PRO W7400 has no benchmark entries in the database, while the NVIDIA RTX 6000D has two recorded results. This absence of parallel testing data means a direct score-for-score comparison cannot be constructed from the available measurements.

The NVIDIA RTX 6000D posts a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3,522 and a Geekbench OpenCL score of 388,405. Its average benchmark score across recorded tests is 195,964. The database places this GPU at the 98th percentile among all graphics cards, indicating it outperforms the vast majority of recorded hardware in the database.

For the AMD Radeon PRO W7400, the database lists an average benchmark score of 0 and a 50th percentile ranking, with no individual test results present. The absence of benchmark data for the W7400 means its performance cannot be quantified against the RTX 6000D from the official database records alone.

The nearest rivals for the NVIDIA RTX 6000D provide context for its measured performance. The NVIDIA Tesla V100S PCIe 32 GB shows an average score of 194,415, which is 0.8% below the RTX 6000D. The NVIDIA A100 SXM4 40 GB scores 187,147, placing it 4.7% behind. The NVIDIA RTX 5000 Ada Generation records 184,664, a 6.1% deficit. Conversely, the NVIDIA A100 PCIe 80 GB achieves 207,124, which is 5.4% ahead of the RTX 6000D.

The RTX 6000D's 98th percentile ranking, combined with its average score of 195,964, places it in the upper tier of the database. Its closest rival, the Tesla V100S, trails by less than one percentage point, which suggests the RTX 6000D sits at the top of a tightly grouped cluster of high-performance accelerators. The A100 PCIe 80 GB being 5.4% faster indicates there are still cards above it in the database hierarchy.

The AMD Radeon PRO W7400 has no recorded measurements to analyze. Its 50th percentile placement appears to be a default value rather than a computed result, given the zero average benchmark score. The data structure shows zero wins for both cards in head-to-head testing, which aligns with the complete absence of paired benchmark entries.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA RTX 6000D demonstrates clear advantages across nearly every measurable hardware specification in the database. Its memory subsystem is substantially larger, with 84 GB of GDDR7 compared to the W7400's 8 GB of GDDR6. Memory bandwidth measures 1.40 TB/s against 172.8 GB/s, a difference of roughly eight times. The bus width is 448 bit versus 128 bit, and the memory clock runs at 1560 MHz (25 Gbps effective) compared to 1350 MHz (10.8 Gbps effective).

Compute resources show a similar disparity. The RTX 6000D contains 19,968 shading units, 624 texture mapping units, and 192 render output units. The W7400 has 1,792 shading units, 112 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. Ray tracing cores number 156 on the NVIDIA card versus 28 on the AMD card. The RTX 6000D also includes 624 tensor cores, while the W7400 lists none in the database.

Peak throughput figures reinforce this gap. The RTX 6000D delivers 97.04 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16, while the W7400 produces 7.885 TFLOPS for each. Pixel rate is 466.6 GPixel/s versus 70.40 GPixel/s, and texture rate is 1,516.3 GTexel/s versus 123.2 GTexel/s. The NVIDIA card also operates at higher clocks, with a base of 1992 MHz and boost of 2430 MHz, while the AMD card runs at 330 MHz base and 1100 MHz boost.

The AMD Radeon PRO W7400 wins in power efficiency and physical footprint. Its thermal design power is 55 W, compared to 600 W for the RTX 6000D. The W7400 is single-slot with no power connectors and a suggested power supply of 250 W. The RTX 6000D is dual-slot, requires a 16-pin connector, and recommends a 1000 W power supply. The W7400 measures 168 mm in length, 69 mm in height, and 20 mm in width, versus 304 mm, 137 mm, and 40 mm for the NVIDIA card. The AMD card uses PCIe 4.0 x8, while the NVIDIA card uses PCIe 5.0 x16.

Manufacturing details also favor the W7400 in density terms, though not in raw resource count. The AMD chip, Navi 33, is built on a 6 nm process at TSMC, with 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 65.2 million per square millimeter. The NVIDIA GB202 chip uses a 5 nm process at TSMC, with 92,200 million transistors on a 750 mm² die, for 122.9 million per square millimeter. The RTX 6000D has roughly seven times more transistors and nearly four times the die area.

The Verdict

The database indicates the NVIDIA RTX 6000D is the stronger performer by every measured and specified metric. Its 98th percentile ranking and average benchmark score of 195,964 place it among the top accelerators in the database, with nearest rivals within a single digit percentage either way. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3,522 and Geekbench OpenCL score of 388,405 confirm its high-end positioning.

The AMD Radeon PRO W7400, with no benchmark scores and a default 50th percentile, cannot be positioned relative to the RTX 6000D using recorded data. Its specifications, however, describe a low-power, compact workstation card. The 55 W TDP and single-slot design make it suitable for systems with modest power delivery and space constraints, but its compute resources are an order of magnitude smaller than the NVIDIA card.

Users requiring maximum compute throughput, large memory capacity, or advanced features such as tensor cores should select the NVIDIA RTX 6000D based on the recorded data. The 84 GB memory pool, 97.04 TFLOPS FP32 performance, and 624 tensor cores provide capabilities the W7400 does not approach. The RTX 6000D also offers a higher boost clock, larger bus width, and faster memory bandwidth.

Users prioritizing low power consumption, minimal physical footprint, or silent operation would find the AMD Radeon PRO W7400 more appropriate, according to the specification data. The absence of power connectors and the 250 W suggested PSU indicate it can run in systems where the RTX 6000D's 1000 W requirement would be impractical. The W7400 also carries a later release date of 2025-08-02 compared to the RTX 6000D's 2025-07-13, a difference of roughly three weeks.

The RTX 6000D has a launch MSRP of 8,565 USD. The W7400 has no launch MSRP recorded in the database.
