AMD Radeon PRO W7500 vs Lisuan Tech LX MAX Comparison

The Verdict

The AMD Radeon PRO W7500 and the Lisuan Tech LX MAX occupy different positions in the recorded data. The W7500 has an established benchmark profile with an average score of 16415, placing it in the 59th percentile of all GPUs. The LX MAX has no recorded benchmark scores, an average score of 0, and sits in the 50th percentile by default. For any user requiring verified performance data, the W7500 is the only option with measurable results.

The LX MAX presents a larger memory configuration and higher raw specifications on paper, but without benchmark results, those specifications cannot be validated against real workloads. The W7500, by contrast, has nine recorded benchmark entries spanning compute, graphics, and DirectX tests. The data indicates the W7500 is the defensible choice for professional workloads where verified performance matters. The LX MAX remains an unquantified alternative whose actual capabilities are unknown.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs share a 6 nm TSMC fabrication process, but their architectures diverge substantially. The W7500 uses the Navi 33 chip based on RDNA 3.0 architecture, with the codename Hotpink Bonefish. It belongs to the Radeon Pro Navi (Navi III Series) generation. The LX MAX uses the 7G106 chip based on TrueGPU architecture, belonging to the 7G100 generation. The W7500 packs 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 65.2 million per square millimeter. The LX MAX lists transistor count and die size as unknown.

Memory configurations differ significantly. The W7500 carries 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, providing 256.0 GB/s bandwidth. The LX MAX carries 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, delivering 432.0 GB/s bandwidth. Memory clocks also differ: the W7500 runs at 2000 MHz with 16 Gbps effective, while the LX MAX runs at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective.

Compute resources favor the LX MAX in raw counts. The LX MAX has 6144 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, and 96 render output units. The W7500 has 1792 shading units, 112 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. The LX MAX also has higher pixel rate (192.0 GPixel/s versus 108.8 GPixel/s) and texture rate (384.0 GTexel/s versus 190.4 GTexel/s). Floating-point throughput follows the same pattern: the LX MAX delivers 24.58 TFLOPS FP32 and 49.15 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1), while the W7500 delivers 12.19 TFLOPS FP32 and 24.37 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1). The W7500 includes 28 ray tracing cores; the LX MAX lists no ray tracing core count.

Power and physical characteristics differ markedly. The W7500 has a 70 W TDP, is single-slot, requires no power connectors, and suggests a 250 W PSU. The LX MAX has a 225 W TDP, is dual-slot, requires a 16-pin connector, and suggests a 550 W PSU. The W7500 measures 216 mm long, 115 mm high, and 20 mm wide. The LX MAX measures 248 mm long, 118 mm high, and 48 mm wide. Both use PCIe 4.0, but the W7500 uses an x8 interface while the LX MAX uses x16.

Display outputs and API support also differ. The W7500 provides 4x DisplayPort 2.1, while the LX MAX provides 4x DisplayPort 1.4a. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) and OpenGL 4.6. The W7500 supports Vulkan 1.4; the LX MAX supports Vulkan 1.3. The W7500 launched on 2023-08-02 with a launch MSRP of 429 USD. The LX MAX has a release date of 2026-03-16 and no recorded launch MSRP. The W7500 lists the Radeon Pro Vega as its predecessor; the LX MAX lists none.

Where Each One Wins

The W7500 wins in every measurable benchmark category because the LX MAX has no recorded benchmark results. The W7500's strongest absolute scores appear in Geekbench Vulkan (68634) and Geekbench OpenCL (58213). Its Passmark G3D score is 13368, and its Passmark G2D score is 1174. The Passmark GPU Compute score is 5910. DirectX-specific tests show 200 in DirectX 9, 125 in DirectX 11, 65 in DirectX 10, and 46 in DirectX 12.

The LX MAX wins on paper specifications that have not been verified through testing. It offers 50% more memory capacity (12 GB versus 8 GB), a wider memory bus (192-bit versus 128-bit), and 68.75% more memory bandwidth (432.0 GB/s versus 256.0 GB/s). Its compute throughput is double that of the W7500 in FP32 (24.58 TFLOPS versus 12.19 TFLOPS) and FP16 (49.15 TFLOPS versus 24.37 TFLOPS). Its shading unit count is more than triple (6144 versus 1792). These specifications suggest the LX MAX could deliver higher raw performance, but the absence of benchmark data means those advantages remain theoretical.

The W7500 wins on efficiency metrics. Its 70 W TDP is less than one-third of the LX MAX's 225 W TDP. It requires no external power connectors, fits in a single slot, and demands a 250 W PSU recommendation versus 550 W for the LX MAX. For compact workstations or systems with limited power delivery, the W7500 is the practical choice.

The LX MAX wins on interface bandwidth with PCIe 4.0 x16 versus the W7500's PCIe 4.0 x8. This could matter for data transfer intensive workloads, but again, no benchmark confirms any real-world benefit. The W7500 wins on display output version with DisplayPort 2.1 versus DisplayPort 1.4a, offering newer display connectivity standards.

However, with no benchmark results recorded for the LX MAX, these specifications have not been validated in any tested workload.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark comparison is one-sided because the database contains no benchmark entries for the Lisuan Tech LX MAX. All nine recorded benchmarks belong exclusively to the AMD Radeon PRO W7500. The winsA count is 0 and winsB count is 0, reflecting the absence of direct comparative data.

The W7500's Geekbench OpenCL score of 58213 and Geekbench Vulkan score of 68634 represent its strongest compute results. These scores indicate the card handles general-purpose compute and graphics API workloads with measurable capability. The Passmark G3D score of 13368 provides a broader graphics performance metric, while the Passmark GPU Compute score of 5910 offers a separate compute-specific measurement.

In DirectX legacy tests, the W7500 scores 200 in DirectX 9, 125 in DirectX 11, 65 in DirectX 10, and 46 in DirectX 12. The DirectX 12 score being the lowest among the four DirectX tests suggests the card's strongest legacy performance lies in older API versions. The Passmark G2D score of 1174 reflects 2D graphics operations.

The W7500's average benchmark score of 16415 places it in the 59th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals bracket this score closely: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 sits 0.5% higher at 16504, while the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT sits 0.3% lower at 16361. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell matches at 0% delta with 16408, and the AMD Radeon Pro 5600M trails by 0.4% at 16351. This clustering indicates the W7500 performs in a tight competitive band around the 16400 average score mark.

For the LX MAX, the absence of any benchmark data means no score can be compared, no percentile can be computed beyond the default 50th percentile, and no rival comparisons exist. The card's specifications suggest it could outperform the W7500 in raw throughput, but the database records no evidence of such performance. Until benchmark results are recorded, the LX MAX remains a specification sheet without verified execution data.
