AMD Radeon PRO W7600 vs AMD Steam Machine GPU Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for the AMD Radeon PRO W7600 shows a Geekbench OpenCL score of 81528 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 92688. The AMD Steam Machine GPU has no benchmark entries in the database, so direct score-to-score comparisons are impossible. Instead, the Radeon PRO W7600 can be positioned against its nearest rivals, which all come from the NVIDIA lineup.

The Radeon PRO W7600 delivers an average benchmark score of 87108. This places it 0.4% behind the NVIDIA Quadro GP100, which averages 87445. The delta is small, effectively a statistical tie in aggregate performance. Against the NVIDIA CMP 40HX, the Radeon PRO W7600 is 1.7% ahead, with that rival averaging 85637. The NVIDIA RTX A4500 Mobile and NVIDIA RTX A4500 sit higher, averaging 91134 and 91671 respectively, putting the Radeon PRO W7600 4.4% and 5% behind those two.

The percentile data reinforces this mid-to-upper positioning. The Radeon PRO W7600 ranks in the 93rd percentile among all GPUs in the database. The Steam Machine GPU, lacking any benchmark scores, holds a 50th percentile placeholder with an average score of 0. That percentile is not a measured result but rather a default value for unrated hardware.

Within the Radeon PRO W7600’s own scores, Vulkan performance is notably stronger than OpenCL. The Vulkan result of 92688 exceeds the OpenCL result of 81528 by roughly 13.7%. This suggests the graphics pipeline benefits substantially from the Vulkan API’s lower overhead and better parallelism on the RDNA 3.0 architecture. The OpenCL score still represents a capable compute workload result, but the Vulkan figure indicates where the card is most efficient.

For the Steam Machine GPU, the absence of any benchmark entries means the database cannot confirm its real-world performance tier. The hardware specifications, however, reveal a lower compute configuration than the Radeon PRO W7600. The Steam Machine GPU uses 1792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, and 28 ray tracing cores. The Radeon PRO W7600 uses 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 32 ray tracing cores. This 14.3% reduction in shading units, 12.5% reduction in TMUs, and 12.5% reduction in ray tracing cores directly impacts peak throughput.

The floating-point figures quantify this gap. The Radeon PRO W7600 reaches 19.99 TFLOPS in FP32, while the Steam Machine GPU reaches 17.56 TFLOPS. That is a 13.8% advantage for the Radeon PRO W7600. In FP16, the divergence is larger. The Radeon PRO W7600 delivers 39.98 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio, while the Steam Machine GPU delivers 17.56 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio. The Radeon PRO W7600 is 127.6% ahead in FP16 throughput, a decisive margin for workloads that leverage reduced precision.

Texture and pixel rates follow the same pattern. The Radeon PRO W7600 generates 312.3 GTexel/s and 156.2 GPixel/s. The Steam Machine GPU generates 274.4 GTexel/s and 156.8 GPixel/s. The texture rate favors the Radeon PRO W7600 by 13.8%, while the pixel rate is nearly identical, with the Steam Machine GPU ahead by only 0.4%. The ROP count is the same at 64 for both, which explains the close pixel throughput despite the clock differences.

Clock speeds show a mixed picture. Both cards share a 1720 MHz base clock. The boost clock is 2440 MHz on the Radeon PRO W7600 and 2450 MHz on the Steam Machine GPU, a 0.4% advantage for the latter. The Steam Machine GPU also lists a game clock of 2250 MHz, a figure the Radeon PRO W7600 does not specify. Memory clocks are identical at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective. The higher boost clock on the Steam Machine GPU does not offset its reduced shader count, so the Radeon PRO W7600 maintains the overall throughput lead.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the AMD Radeon PRO W7600 is the stronger compute and graphics performer of the two. Its higher shading unit count, greater FP32 and FP16 throughput, and faster texture rate give it a clear advantage in raw processing power. The 93rd percentile ranking among all GPUs, alongside an average benchmark score of 87108, places it in a competitive position against established NVIDIA workstation cards. The nearest rival, the NVIDIA Quadro GP100, is only 0.4% ahead, and the Radeon PRO W7600 beats the NVIDIA CMP 40HX by 1.7%.

The Steam Machine GPU, with no benchmark scores in the database, cannot be ranked on measured performance. Its 50th percentile and zero average score are placeholders, not results. Based on specifications alone, it is a reduced configuration of the same Navi 33 chip, with fewer shaders, TMUs, and ray tracing cores. Its maximum FP32 output of 17.56 TFLOPS is below the Radeon PRO W7600’s 19.99 TFLOPS. For any task that depends on FP16 compute, the Radeon PRO W7600’s 39.98 TFLOPS versus 17.56 TFLOPS is a decisive separation.

The Radeon PRO W7600 also offers a broader set of display outputs, with four DisplayPort 2.1 connections. The Steam Machine GPU provides one HDMI 2.1a and one DisplayPort 2.1. The Radeon PRO W7600 is designed as a single-slot add-in card with a 6-pin power connector and a 300 W suggested PSU. The Steam Machine GPU has no power connectors listed, reflecting its intended integration into a fixed console chassis rather than a user-upgradable PC.

The launch MSRP of the Radeon PRO W7600 is 599 USD. The Steam Machine GPU has no listed launch MSRP. The Radeon PRO W7600 is an active product with a release date of 2023-08-02. The Steam Machine GPU is also active, with a later release date of 2026-06-28.

For users seeking a workstation GPU with measurable performance, the Radeon PRO W7600 is the only one of the two with benchmark data supporting its capabilities. The Steam Machine GPU appears optimized for a specific console environment with lower power draw, 110 W versus 130 W, and a compact form factor of 156 mm by 152 mm by 162 mm. The Radeon PRO W7600 measures 241 mm by 115 mm. The choice depends on whether the use case demands a flexible, high-throughput workstation card or a fixed console component.

Architecture Differences

Both cards use the same Navi 33 chip with RDNA 3.0 architecture and the Hotpink Bonefish codename. They are fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC, with 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die. The transistor density is 65.2M per mm² for both. The architecture generation label differs: the Radeon PRO W7600 is listed under Radeon Pro Navi (Navi III Series), while the Steam Machine GPU is listed as a Console GPU for Valve.
