AMD Radeon PRO W7600 vs AMD Ryzen Z2 GPU Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains direct benchmark scores for the AMD Radeon PRO W7600, while the AMD Ryzen Z2 GPU has no benchmark entries. This makes a conventional head-to-head comparison impossible based on measured data alone. The Radeon PRO W7600 delivers a Geekbench OpenCL score of 81528 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 92688, producing an average benchmark score of 87108. The Ryzen Z2 GPU shows an average benchmark score of 0 with no individual test results recorded.

The Radeon PRO W7600 sits at the 93rd percentile among all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals provide context for its standing. The NVIDIA Quadro GP100 averages 87445, a delta of -0.4 percent from the W7600, meaning the two are effectively level. The NVIDIA CMP 40HX scores 85637, which is 1.7 percent behind the W7600. The NVIDIA RTX A4500 Mobile averages 91134, placing it 4.4 percent ahead. The NVIDIA RTX A4500 leads by 5 percent with an average of 91671. These figures indicate the W7600 clusters with professional workstation cards from the previous generation, slightly trailing the higher-tier RTX A4500 variants but holding a small edge over the CMP 40HX.

The Ryzen Z2 GPU occupies the 50th percentile with no comparable scores, placing it in a different performance tier entirely. Without benchmark data, no quantitative win margin can be assigned to either product in a direct matchup. The database simply lacks the measurements required for a score-based comparison.

Architecture Differences

Both GPUs share the RDNA 3.0 architecture, but they diverge sharply in implementation. The Radeon PRO W7600 uses the Navi 33 chip with the codename Hotpink Bonefish, belonging to the Radeon Pro Navi generation (Navi III Series). The Ryzen Z2 GPU uses the Hawk Point chip and is classified under Console GPU (AMD) generation.

The process nodes differ significantly. The W7600 is built on a 6 nm process at TSMC, while the Ryzen Z2 GPU uses a 4 nm process at the same foundry. This affects transistor density. The W7600 packs 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, yielding 65.2 million transistors per mm². The Ryzen Z2 GPU integrates 25,390 million transistors on a smaller 178 mm² die, achieving 142.6 million transistors per mm². The Z2 GPU therefore carries roughly double the transistor density despite its smaller physical size.

Core configurations differ substantially. The W7600 features 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 render output units, and 32 ray tracing cores. The Ryzen Z2 GPU has 768 shading units, 48 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and 12 ray tracing cores. The W7600 provides more than 2.6 times the shading units, 2.6 times the TMUs, double the ROPs, and 2.6 times the ray tracing cores. This structural advantage explains the large performance gap implied by the benchmark percentiles.

Clock behavior also differs. The W7600 runs at a base clock of 1720 MHz and boosts to 2440 MHz. The Ryzen Z2 GPU has a much lower base of 800 MHz but a higher boost of 2700 MHz. The memory clocks diverge as well: the W7600 uses 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective speed, while the Ryzen Z2 GPU runs at 937 MHz with 7.5 Gbps effective.

The FP16 execution ratio reveals a notable architectural choice. The W7600 delivers FP16 at 39.98 TFLOPS using a 2:1 ratio relative to FP32. The Ryzen Z2 GPU provides FP16 at 8.294 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio, meaning it processes FP16 and FP32 at the same throughput. This indicates the W7600 has dedicated fast-path FP16 hardware, while the Z2 GPU treats FP16 as a straightforward extension of FP32.

Where Each One Wins

The Radeon PRO W7600 wins decisively in raw compute throughput. Its FP32 rating of 19.99 TFLOPS dwarfs the Ryzen Z2 GPU's 8.294 TFLOPS, a 2.4 times advantage. Pixel fill rate follows the same pattern: the W7600 achieves 156.2 GPixel/s against 86.40 GPixel/s for the Z2 GPU. Texture rate favors the W7600 at 312.3 GTexel/s versus 129.6 GTexel/s.

Memory bandwidth strongly favors the W7600. It delivers 288.0 GB/s over a 128-bit GDDR6 interface, while the Ryzen Z2 GPU manages 119.9 GB/s over a 128-bit LPDDR5X bus. Both use the same bus width, so the bandwidth gap comes entirely from memory technology and clock speed. The W7600's GDDR6 operates at 18 Gbps effective, more than double the Z2 GPU's 7.5 Gbps.

The Ryzen Z2 GPU wins in areas tied to efficiency and integration. Its 28 W TDP is drastically lower than the W7600's 130 W. The Z2 GPU requires no power connectors, while the W7600 needs a single 6-pin connector. The Z2 GPU also uses no additional board space for cooling, as evidenced by its lack of slot width data, and it outputs through a single USB Type-C port.

Memory capacity favors the Z2 GPU. It carries 16 GB of LPDDR5X, double the W7600's 8 GB of GDDR6. This capacity advantage matters for workloads that exceed the W7600's memory ceiling, even though the Z2 GPU's bandwidth is far lower.

The Ryzen Z2 GPU also benefits from a more advanced process node. The 4 nm fabrication at TSMC gives it a transistor density of 142.6M per mm² versus 65.2M per mm² for the 6 nm W7600. This density advantage supports the Z2 GPU's higher boost clock of 2700 MHz compared to the W7600's 2440 MHz.

Specification Differences

The two products differ across nearly every specification field. The process node separates them: 6 nm for the W7600, 4 nm for the Z2 GPU. Transistor counts stand at 13,300 million versus 25,390 million. Die size favors the Z2 GPU at 178 mm² against 204 mm². Transistor density follows the process advantage, with the Z2 GPU at 142.6M per mm² and the W7600 at 65.2M per mm².

Clock speeds diverge completely. Base clocks are 1720 MHz for the W7600 and 800 MHz for the Z2 GPU. Boost clocks are 2440 MHz and 2700 MHz respectively. Memory clocks are 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective for the W7600, versus 937 MHz with 7.5 Gbps effective for the Z2 GPU.

Memory specifications differ in size and type. The W7600 uses 8 GB of GDDR6; the Z2 GPU uses 16 GB of LPDDR5X. Both share a 128-bit bus width, but bandwidth separates them at 288.0 GB/s versus 119.9 GB/s.

Compute resources show the W7600's advantage: 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 32 RT cores against 768 shading units, 48 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and 12 RT cores for the Z2 GPU. Pixel and texture rates follow accordingly. FP32 and FP16 ratings both favor the W7600, with the FP16 ratio differing (2:1 versus 1:1).

Power and physical attributes diverge. The W7600 has a 130 W TDP, a single-slot form factor, a 6-pin power connector, a 300 W suggested PSU, and PCIe 4.0 x8 interface. The Z2 GPU has a 28 W TDP, no power connectors, no suggested PSU rating, and no bus interface listed. Display outputs are 4x DisplayPort 2.1 for the W7600 versus 1x USB Type-C for the Z2 GPU. The W7600 measures 241 mm in length and 115 mm in height; the Z2 GPU has no dimensions recorded.

Release dates differ by over a year: the W7600 launched on 2023-08-02, while the Z2 GPU's release date is 2024-12-31. The W7600 has a launch MSRP of 599 USD and lists the Radeon Pro Vega as its predecessor. The Z2 GPU has no launch MSRP and no predecessor.

The Verdict

The data presents a clear split between workstation compute and integrated efficiency. The Radeon PRO W7600 is the choice for applications that demand maximum throughput. Its 19.99 TFLOPS FP32, 288.0 GB/s memory bandwidth, and 32 ray tracing cores position it for professional rendering, simulation, and compute workloads. The benchmark percentile of 93 and average score of 87108 confirm it operates in the upper tier of the database, closely matching the NVIDIA Quadro GP100 and trailing the RTX A4500 by roughly 5 percent.

The Ryzen Z2 GPU serves a fundamentally different purpose. Its 28 W TDP, 16 GB memory capacity, and 4 nm process node indicate a design optimized for power-constrained environments. The 50th percentile placement and absence of benchmark scores suggest it targets integrated or mobile scenarios where the W7600's 130 W TDP and single-slot board would be impractical.

For users prioritizing compute density and professional features, the W7600 wins outright. For those needing lower power draw, higher memory capacity, or a more compact footprint, the Z2 GPU offers advantages that the W7600 cannot match. The choice rests on whether raw performance or efficiency holds greater priority, and the recorded specifications make that trade-off explicit.
