AMD Radeon PRO W7500 vs AMD Steam Machine GPU Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results for the AMD Radeon PRO W7500 and the AMD Steam Machine GPU. The Radeon PRO W7500 has a complete set of recorded scores, while the Steam Machine GPU has no benchmark entries in the database. This absence of comparative data means the two cards cannot be ranked against each other using the standard benchmark suite.

The Radeon PRO W7500's recorded measurements include a Geekbench OpenCL score of 58213 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 68634. In Passmark testing, the card achieves 65 in DirectX 10, 125 in DirectX 11, 46 in DirectX 12, and 200 in DirectX 9. The 2D graphics test yields 1174, while the 3D graphics test produces 13368. The GPU compute score is 5910. These results place the W7500 at an average benchmark score of 16415, with a percentile ranking of 59 among all GPUs.

The Steam Machine GPU, by contrast, has an average benchmark score of 0 and a percentile of 50. The database shows no individual test scores for this part. Without any recorded measurements, no win/loss tally can be established; both cards register zero wins in the head-to-head comparison.

The nearest rivals for the Radeon PRO W7500 provide context for its benchmark positioning. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell scores 16408, a delta of 0 percent.

Architecture Differences

Both GPUs share the same fundamental silicon. The chip is Navi 33 on the RDNA 3.0 architecture, with the codename Hotpink Bonefish. Both use a 6 nm process from TSMC, with 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 65.2M per mm². The shading units number 1792 on each, with 112 texture mapping units and 64 render output units. Both feature 28 ray tracing cores and no tensor cores.

The architectural divergence appears in the clock behavior and derived throughput. The Steam Machine GPU runs substantially higher clocks: a base of 1720 MHz versus 1500 MHz, and a boost of 2450 MHz versus 1700 MHz. The Steam Machine GPU also specifies a game clock of 2250 MHz, a field the W7500 leaves empty. These clock differences translate directly into compute rates. The Steam Machine GPU produces 17.56 TFLOPS FP32, which is 44 percent higher than the W7500's 12.19 TFLOPS FP32. The FP16 picture differs sharply: the W7500 reaches 24.37 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio, while the Steam Machine GPU outputs 17.56 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio. The W7500 therefore exceeds the Steam Machine GPU in FP16 peak throughput despite trailing in FP32.

The memory subsystem also diverges. Both use 8 GB GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, but the Steam Machine GPU runs faster memory: 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective, versus 2000 MHz with 16 Gbps effective. This yields 288.0 GB/s bandwidth for the Steam Machine GPU, 12.5 percent above the W7500's 256.0 GB/s. The pixel and texture rates follow the same pattern: the Steam Machine GPU achieves 156.8 GPixel/s and 274.4 GTexel/s, while the W7500 manages 108.8 GPixel/s and 190.4 GTexel/s.

The API support is identical: DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The production status for both is Active. The generation labels differ: the W7500 belongs to the Radeon Pro Navi (Navi III Series) family, while the Steam Machine GPU is classified as a Console GPU (Valve). The W7500 has a predecessor in the Radeon Pro Vega, whereas the Steam Machine GPU has no predecessor or successor listed.

The Verdict

The data shows two distinct positioning strategies for the same underlying chip. The Radeon PRO W7500 is a professional workstation card with a launch MSRP of 429 USD, a 70 W TDP, and a suggested PSU of 250 W. It uses a single-slot design with four DisplayPort 2.1 outputs and a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface. Its benchmark scores place it at the 59th percentile among all GPUs, with an average score of 16415 and nearest rivals within a 0.5 percent band.

The Steam Machine GPU is a console-oriented part with no launch MSRP, no benchmark scores, and no nearest rivals. It carries a 110 W TDP, no bus interface listed, and a single HDMI 2.1a plus one DisplayPort 2.1 output. Its physical dimensions are shorter and wider than the W7500: 156 mm by 152 mm by 162 mm, versus 216 mm by 115 mm by 20 mm. The Steam Machine GPU's higher clocks produce significantly higher FP32, pixel, texture, and memory bandwidth figures, but the absence of benchmark data prevents any direct performance validation.

Users seeking a validated professional GPU with a documented benchmark record should consider the Radeon PRO W7500, which has nine recorded test scores across multiple APIs. Users targeting the Steam Machine GPU's higher theoretical throughput must rely on the specification sheet alone, as the database contains no measurements to confirm real-world behavior. The W7500 also offers lower power draw and a smaller footprint in one dimension, while the Steam Machine GPU occupies a more compact length but greater height and width.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ in several recorded specification fields.

Release dates differ: the W7500 was released on 2023-08-02, the Steam Machine GPU on 2026-06-28. The W7500 has a launch MSRP of 429 USD; the Steam Machine GPU has none. The W7500 has a predecessor (Radeon Pro Vega); the Steam Machine GPU has none.

Where Each One Wins

The Radeon PRO W7500 wins on validated performance data. Its nine benchmark scores provide a complete picture across Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan, plus seven Passmark tests. The average score of 16415 and the tight nearest-rival cluster (all within 0.5 percent) indicate consistent, reproducible results. The W7500 also wins on power efficiency: 70 W TDP versus 110 W, and it offers a smaller height and width footprint for single-slot installations.

The Steam Machine GPU wins on raw specification throughput. Its base clock exceeds the W7500's boost clock by 20 MHz, and its boost clock of 2450 MHz is 44 percent higher than the W7500's 1700 MHz. This drives a 44 percent advantage in FP32 compute, a 44 percent advantage in pixel rate, and a 44 percent advantage in texture rate. The memory bandwidth advantage is 12.5 percent. The Steam Machine GPU also wins on FP16 efficiency, using a 1:1 ratio to deliver 17.56 TFLOPS, though the W7500's 2:1 ratio produces a higher absolute FP16 number.

The Steam Machine GPU wins on physical compactness in length: 156 mm versus 216 mm, a reduction of 60 mm. It also provides an HDMI 2.1a output, which the W7500 lacks entirely. The W7500 wins on display output count with four DisplayPort 2.1 connectors, versus one HDMI and one DisplayPort on the Steam Machine GPU.

The absence of benchmark data for the Steam Machine GPU means its specification advantages cannot be confirmed in practice. The W7500's recorded measurements show it performs within 0.5 percent of four named rivals, including the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell and the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT. The Steam Machine GPU has no such comparative anchors. For applications requiring documented performance, the W7500 is the only choice with data. For applications that prioritize the highest theoretical clocks and bandwidth, the Steam Machine GPU presents the stronger specification sheet, subject to unverified real-world results.
