AMD Radeon PRO W7500 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER Comparison

AMD Radeon PRO W7500 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER: a comparison between a professional workstation card and a consumer gaming card. The data shows two very different products with distinct benchmark profiles. The Radeon PRO W7500 has extensive benchmark coverage across multiple APIs, while the RTX 5070 SUPER has a single recorded 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result. This creates an asymmetric comparison, but the available numbers still reveal meaningful differences.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The RTX 5070 SUPER records a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2690. The Radeon PRO W7500 has no entry for that specific test, so direct comparison on that workload is impossible from the database. However, the Radeon PRO W7500's average benchmark score of 16415 comes from nine different tests, while the RTX 5070 SUPER's average of 2690 comes from just one test. The Radeon PRO W7500 sits at the 59th percentile among all GPUs, while the RTX 5070 SUPER sits at the 18th percentile.

Looking at the Radeon PRO W7500's benchmark results, its strongest showing is in Geekbench Vulkan with a score of 68634, followed by Geekbench OpenCL at 58213. PassMark G3D gives it 13368, PassMark G2D gives 1174, and PassMark GPU Compute gives 5910. Legacy DirectX tests show scores of 200 in DirectX 9, 125 in DirectX 11, 65 in DirectX 10, and 46 in DirectX 12.

The nearest rivals for the Radeon PRO W7500 include the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell with an average score of 16408 and a delta of 0%, the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT at 16361 with a 0.3% delta, the AMD Radeon Pro 5600M at 16351 with a 0.4% delta, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 at 16504 with a -0.5% delta. This places the Radeon PRO W7500 essentially level with much larger and more expensive GPUs in aggregate benchmark performance.

For the RTX 5070 SUPER, its nearest rivals are all much older or lower-end cards. The NVIDIA Quadro K1100M scores 2664 with a 1% delta, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 scores 2662 with a 1.1% delta, the Intel Arc Pro B50 scores 2660 with a 1.1% delta, and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 scores 2645 with a 1.7% delta. The RTX 5070 SUPER leads all of these by small margins, but these are not competitive peers for a 2025 Blackwell GPU.

The recorded data indicates the Radeon PRO W7500 delivers substantially higher aggregate benchmark performance than the RTX 5070 SUPER's single recorded result. The 16415 average versus 2690 represents a roughly sixfold difference. Even accounting for different test suites, the Radeon PRO W7500 demonstrates broad API support with playable scores across DirectX 9 through 12, Vulkan, and OpenCL.

Architecture Differences

The Radeon PRO W7500 uses the Navi 33 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, codenamed Hotpink Bonefish. It belongs to the Radeon Pro Navi generation and uses a 6 nm process at TSMC. The RTX 5070 SUPER uses the GB205 chip on Blackwell 2.0 architecture from the GeForce 50 generation, manufactured on a 5 nm process, also at TSMC.

Transistor counts differ significantly. The Radeon PRO W7500 packs 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 65.2 million per mm². The RTX 5070 SUPER contains 31,100 million transistors on a 263 mm² die, achieving 118.3 million per mm². The RTX 5070 SUPER has more than double the transistor count and nearly double the density.

Clock speeds show the RTX 5070 SUPER running much higher. The Radeon PRO W7500 has a base clock of 1500 MHz and a boost of 1700 MHz. The RTX 5070 SUPER runs at 2325 MHz base and 2512 MHz boost. Memory clocks also differ: the Radeon PRO W7500 uses 2000 MHz with 16 Gbps effective, while the RTX 5070 SUPER runs 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective.

Compute resources are heavily skewed toward the RTX 5070 SUPER. The Radeon PRO W7500 has 1792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, 64 raster operations units, and 28 ray tracing cores. The RTX 5070 SUPER has 6400 shading units, 200 TMUs, 80 ROPs, 50 RT cores, and 200 tensor cores. The Radeon PRO W7500 has no tensor cores, which is expected for a workstation card focused on traditional graphics.

Memory configurations reflect different use cases. The Radeon PRO W7500 has 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus with 256.0 GB/s bandwidth. The RTX 5070 SUPER has 18 GB of GDDR7 on a 192-bit bus with 672.0 GB/s bandwidth. The RTX 5070 SUPER offers more than 2.6 times the memory capacity and 2.6 times the bandwidth.

Rates and throughput numbers follow the same pattern. The Radeon PRO W7500 achieves 108.8 GPixel/s pixel rate and 190.4 GTexel/s texture rate. The RTX 5070 SUPER delivers 201.0 GPixel/s and 502.4 GTexel/s. FP32 compute shows 12.19 TFLOPS for the Radeon PRO W7500 versus 32.15 TFLOPS for the RTX 5070 SUPER. FP16 differs in implementation: the Radeon PRO W7500 lists 24.37 TFLOPS at 2:1 ratio, while the RTX 5070 SUPER lists 32.15 TFLOPS at 1:1 ratio.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear split. The Radeon PRO W7500 shows extensive benchmark coverage with strong results across nine different workloads and an average score of 16415. Its nearest rivals include professional GPUs like the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell and the Radeon Pro 5600M, indicating it competes in the workstation segment. The 59th percentile ranking among all GPUs suggests solid mid-pack performance.

The RTX 5070 SUPER presents a different picture. Its single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2690 places it at the 18th percentile, with nearest rivals being legacy cards like the Quadro K1100M and GT 440. The 1% to 1.7% deltas over these cards suggest the RTX 5070 SUPER barely outperforms them in this specific test. This does not reflect the card's architectural capabilities, but the recorded data offers no other benchmark results.

From the available measurements, the Radeon PRO W7500 is the safer choice for diverse workloads. It demonstrates functional performance across DirectX 9, 10, 11, and 12, plus Vulkan and OpenCL. The RTX 5070 SUPER, despite having superior hardware specifications, lacks recorded evidence of multi-API capability in this database.

For users who rely on the specific 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, the RTX 5070 SUPER delivers a score of 2690. For users who need broad API support and proven performance across many workloads, the Radeon PRO W7500 shows a 16415 average score with strong Geekbench results. The Radeon PRO W7500 uses a 70 W TDP with no power connectors and a suggested PSU of 250 W. The RTX 5070 SUPER uses 275 W TDP with a single 16-pin connector.
