AMD Radeon PRO W7500 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 SE Comparison

AMD Radeon PRO W7500 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 SE occupy different ends of the GPU spectrum, and the recorded data reflects that divide. The W7500 is a professional workstation card built on RDNA 3.0, while the RTX 5090 SE is a flagship consumer-oriented GeForce 50-series part. The database contains benchmark scores for the W7500, but the RTX 5090 SE has no recorded benchmark entries, no average score, and no rival comparisons. This absence of direct measured data for the 5090 SE means the analysis must rely on the available specification fields and the W7500’s own performance context.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon PRO W7500 has a full set of benchmark results in the database, covering OpenCL, Vulkan, and multiple DirectX and Passmark tests. Its strongest recorded scores are in compute-oriented workloads: 58,213 in Geekbench OpenCL and 68,634 in Geekbench Vulkan. These figures indicate that the W7500 handles general-purpose GPU compute and graphics API workloads effectively for its class. In Passmark tests, the highest score is 200 in DirectX 9, followed by 125 in DirectX 11 and 65 in DirectX 10. The DirectX 12 score is 46, and the GPU compute score is 5,910. The overall Passmark G3D score is 13,368, with a G2D score of 1,174. The average benchmark score for the W7500 is 16,415, placing it at the 59th percentile among all GPUs in the database.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 SE has zero benchmark entries. There are no recorded wins for either card in head-to-head comparisons, as the headToHeadBenchmarks field is empty. The winsA and winsB counters are both zero. This means the database currently provides no direct performance measurements for the 5090 SE. Its percentile ranking is listed at 50, but with an average benchmark score of 0, that percentile does not reflect any measured performance. The W7500, by contrast, has a defined performance profile. Where each one wins, based on available data, is straightforward: the W7500 wins in terms of having measured results, while the 5090 SE currently cannot be assessed for benchmark wins.

Architecture Differences

The two cards share no architecture lineage. The AMD Radeon PRO W7500 uses the Navi 33 chip on RDNA 3.0 architecture, with the codename Hotpink Bonefish. It belongs to the Radeon Pro Navi generation. The manufacturing process is 6 nm at TSMC. The chip contains 13,300 million transistors on a die size of 204 mm², yielding a transistor density of 65.2 million per square millimeter. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 SE uses the GB202 chip on Blackwell 2.0 architecture, part of the GeForce 50 generation. It is fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC, with 92,200 million transistors on a 750 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 122.9 million per square millimeter. The 5090 SE has more than six times the transistor count and a die area nearly four times larger.

Core configuration differs sharply. The W7500 has 1,792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, and 64 raster operation units. It includes 28 ray tracing cores and no tensor cores. The 5090 SE has 14,080 shading units, 440 texture mapping units, and 160 raster operation units, with 110 ray tracing cores and 440 tensor cores. The shading unit count is roughly eight times higher on the NVIDIA card. The W7500’s pixel rate is 108.8 GPixel/s and its texture rate is 190.4 GTexel/s. The 5090 SE reaches 380.3 GPixel/s and 1,045.9 GTexel/s. Floating point performance shows 12.19 TFLOPS FP32 for the W7500, with FP16 at 24.37 TFLOPS using a 2:1 ratio. The 5090 SE delivers 66.94 TFLOPS FP32 and 66.94 TFLOPS FP16 with a 1:1 ratio.

Memory architecture is another major divergence. The W7500 uses 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, with 256.0 GB/s bandwidth. The 5090 SE uses 24 GB of GDDR7 on a 384-bit bus, with 1.34 TB/s bandwidth. The NVIDIA card has triple the memory capacity and over five times the bandwidth. Clock speeds also differ: the W7500 has a base clock of 1500 MHz and boost of 1700 MHz, with memory at 2000 MHz or 16 Gbps effective. The 5090 SE has a base clock of 1740 MHz and boost of 2377 MHz, with memory at 1750 MHz or 28 Gbps effective. Power and physical specifications reflect the performance gap: the W7500 has a TDP of 70 W, is single-slot, requires no power connectors, and lists a suggested PSU of 250 W. The 5090 SE has a TDP of 500 W, is dual-slot, uses a single 16-pin connector, and lists a suggested PSU of 900 W.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The headToHeadBenchmarks field is empty, so there are no direct comparative benchmark results between the AMD Radeon PRO W7500 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 SE. The W7500’s own benchmark scores provide a baseline for its performance class. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 58,213 and Vulkan score of 68,634 are the highest recorded values for the card. In Passmark tests, the DirectX 9 score of 200 exceeds the DirectX 11 score of 125, which in turn exceeds the DirectX 10 score of 65. The DirectX 12 score of 46 is the lowest among the DirectX tests. The GPU compute score of 5,910 and the G3D score of 13,368 round out the Passmark results. The average benchmark score of 16,415 positions the W7500 near the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, which has an average score of 16,408 with a delta of 0 percent. It sits slightly ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT at 16,361 with a 0.3 percent delta and the AMD Radeon Pro 5600M at 16,351 with a 0.4 percent delta. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 scores 16,504, a 0.5 percent delta above the W7500. These rival comparisons show the W7500 performing within a narrow band around the 16,400 average score mark.

For the RTX 5090 SE, the absence of benchmark data means no head-to-head numbers exist. There are no scores to walk through, no wins to attribute, and no deltas to calculate. The specification data suggests a much higher performance ceiling, with a boost clock 677 MHz higher, 14,080 shading units, and 66.94 TFLOPS FP32, but none of that is confirmed by measured benchmark results in the database.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear split. The AMD Radeon PRO W7500 has a full set of measured benchmark results, an average score of 16,415, and a 59th percentile ranking. It competes closely with the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT, the AMD Radeon Pro 5600M, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2, all within a 0.5 percent delta. The W7500 is a low-power, single-slot card with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, a 70 W TDP, and no power connectors. It is positioned for professional workloads that do not demand extreme compute throughput.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 SE has no benchmark scores, no average score, and no rival data. Its specifications indicate a far larger GPU: 24 GB of GDDR7 memory, 1.34 TB/s bandwidth, 66.94 TFLOPS FP32, 14,080 shading units, and a 500 W TDP. The release date is December 2025, and it lists a launch MSRP of 1,499 USD. Without recorded measurements, the database cannot confirm how the 5090 SE performs relative to the W7500. The verdict from the available data is that the W7500 is a measured, characterized product with a defined performance profile, while the 5090 SE remains an unverified entry whose capabilities are only represented by its specification sheet. Users seeking benchmark-verified performance data for a professional Radeon card can rely on the W7500’s recorded results. The 5090 SE will require future benchmark entries before any performance-based comparison can be made.
