AMD Radeon PRO W7500 vs NVIDIA N1X 48SM Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data presents an unusual comparison. The AMD Radeon PRO W7500 is an active, shipping discrete workstation GPU with a full suite of benchmark results. The NVIDIA N1X 48SM is an active integrated graphics processor (IGP) with no recorded benchmark scores, an average benchmark score of zero, and a percentile rank of 50. For the NVIDIA part, the database contains no measurable performance data, making a direct numerical performance comparison impossible.

Based strictly on the available data, the AMD Radeon PRO W7500 is the only option with verified performance metrics. Its average benchmark score of 16415 places it in the 59th percentile of all GPUs. The NVIDIA N1X 48SM, with no scores, cannot be evaluated for compute, graphics, or gaming performance. The data shows the AMD card sits within 0.5% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2, which scores 16504, and 0.3% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT at 16361. The Radeon PRO W7500 also matches the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, which scores 16408 with a 0% delta.

For users requiring a working GPU with measured performance, the AMD Radeon PRO W7500 is the choice supported by data. The NVIDIA N1X 48SM offers no benchmark evidence in the database, so its performance characteristics remain unverified. The AMD card also carries a launch MSRP of 429 USD.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different manufacturers and use distinct architectures. The AMD Radeon PRO W7500 uses the Navi 33 chip based on RDNA 3.0 architecture, with the codename Hotpink Bonefish. It belongs to the Radeon Pro Navi generation. The NVIDIA N1X 48SM uses the GB20B chip based on Blackwell 2.0 architecture, belonging to the Blackwell IGP generation. The AMD chip is built on a 6 nm process at TSMC, while the NVIDIA chip uses a 5 nm process, also at TSMC.

The AMD chip contains 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 65.2 million transistors per square millimeter. The NVIDIA die is larger at 382 mm², but its transistor count is listed as unknown, so density cannot be calculated. The AMD card has 1792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, and 64 raster operation pipelines. The NVIDIA IGP has 6144 shading units, 384 texture mapping units, and 48 ROPs. The NVIDIA part also includes 48 ray tracing cores and 192 tensor cores, while the AMD card has 28 ray tracing cores and no tensor cores listed.

Memory configurations differ substantially. The AMD card uses 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, delivering 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The NVIDIA IGP uses 128 GB of LPDDR5X on a 256-bit bus, delivering 273.2 GB/s. The NVIDIA part has 16 times the memory capacity and slightly higher bandwidth, but it is an integrated processor sharing system memory.

Clock behavior also differs. The AMD card runs at a 1500 MHz base and 1700 MHz boost. The NVIDIA IGP runs at a much lower 741 MHz base but boosts to 2346 MHz. Its memory runs at 1067 MHz with 8.5 Gbps effective speed, while the AMD memory runs at 2000 MHz with 16 Gbps effective speed.

The AMD card is a single-slot discrete GPU with no power connectors, a 70 W TDP, and a suggested power supply of 250 W. The NVIDIA part is an IGP with no power connectors and unknown TDP. The AMD card uses PCIe 4.0 x8, while the NVIDIA IGP uses PCIe 5.0 x16. Display outputs also differ: the AMD card has 4x DisplayPort 2.1, while the NVIDIA IGP has one HDMI output.

API support is a major differentiator. The AMD card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The NVIDIA IGP lists DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan as N/A. The AMD card also has a physical footprint of 216 mm in length, 115 mm in height, and 20 mm in width.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark results between these two products. The head-to-head field is empty, and the win counts for both parts are zero. The NVIDIA N1X 48SM has no benchmark entries at all. Its average benchmark score is recorded as 0, and its percentile rank is 50.

The AMD Radeon PRO W7500 has nine recorded benchmark scores. In Geekbench OpenCL it scores 58213. In Geekbench Vulkan it scores 68634. Passmark results include DirectX 10 at 65, DirectX 11 at 125, DirectX 12 at 46, DirectX 9 at 200, G2D at 1174, G3D at 13368, and GPU compute at 5910. Its average benchmark score is 16415.

Without any measured scores for the NVIDIA part, no direct wins can be assigned. The AMD card's nearest rivals provide context. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell scores 16408, a 0% delta from the AMD card. The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT scores 16361, putting it 0.3% behind. The AMD Radeon Pro 5600M scores 16351, 0.4% behind. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 scores 16504, which is 0.5% ahead of the AMD card. These figures frame the AMD card's performance position, but they do not involve the NVIDIA N1X 48SM.

The data shows the AMD card's strongest relative results are in Geekbench Vulkan at 68634 and Geekbench OpenCL at 58213. Its Passmark G3D score of 13368 and G2D score of 1174 are also recorded. The DirectX legacy tests show lower scores, with DirectX 9 at 200, DirectX 11 at 125, DirectX 10 at 65, and DirectX 12 at 46. The GPU compute score is 5910.

For the NVIDIA N1X 48SM, the only performance-related data is its 50th percentile rank. That rank is not tied to any benchmark score, since its average is zero. The absence of measured data means the NVIDIA part cannot be compared numerically in any test category.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon PRO W7500 wins in every category where measured data exists. It has nine benchmark scores, a 59th percentile ranking, and an average score of 16415. Its architecture supports modern graphics APIs, including DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. It provides four DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, making it suitable for multi-display workstation setups. Its 8 GB GDDR6 memory with 256.0 GB/s bandwidth and 12.19 TFLOPS FP32 compute are verified figures. The card is a discrete, single-slot solution with a 70 W TDP and no power connectors, fitting into a 250 W suggested power supply envelope.

The NVIDIA N1X 48SM wins in theoretical specifications where no measured performance exists. It lists higher FP32 compute at 28.83 TFLOPS, more shading units at 6144, more texture units at 384, and more ray tracing cores at 48. It also has 192 tensor cores, which the AMD card does not list. Its memory capacity of 128 GB is 16 times the AMD card's 8 GB, and its bandwidth of 273.2 GB/s is slightly higher. The NVIDIA part uses a larger 382 mm² die and a 5 nm process, compared to the AMD card's 204 mm² die and 6 nm process. It uses PCIe 5.0 x16, a newer bus interface than the AMD card's PCIe 4.0 x8.

The data indicates the AMD card is the verified performer. Its benchmark results place it in the 59th percentile of all GPUs, with an average score nearly identical to the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell. The NVIDIA N1X 48SM remains an unmeasured product in the database. Its 50th percentile rank is the only performance indicator, and that rank carries no benchmark score. The NVIDIA part's advantages are architectural and theoretical, not demonstrated through recorded measurements.

For workloads requiring verified compute performance, API compatibility, and multiple display outputs, the AMD Radeon PRO W7500 is the only option with supporting data. For workloads requiring massive memory capacity and high theoretical compute, the NVIDIA N1X 48SM lists specifications that the AMD card cannot match, but no benchmark evidence confirms those specifications translate into measured performance. The database records no wins for either part in head-to-head testing, because no such testing has been recorded.
