AMD Radeon PRO W7600 vs NVIDIA A10G Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data presents a clear split between these two workstation-oriented GPUs, though it is not an even contest. The NVIDIA A10G wins both recorded head-to-head tests, taking the Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan benchmarks outright. The database shows 2 wins for the A10G and 0 for the Radeon PRO W7600. That outcome is decisive, but it does not tell the whole story about where each card fits.

The NVIDIA A10G is designed for server-side compute workloads. It has no display outputs, which signals that it is meant for headless acceleration tasks such as inference, rendering farms, or virtualized environments. Its 24 GB memory capacity and 600.2 GB/s bandwidth position it for large datasets and multi-tenant workloads. The A10G sits in the 97th percentile of all GPUs tracked in the database, with an average benchmark score of 151,963. That places it among the top tier of accelerators, just behind the AMD Radeon Pro W6800X and NVIDIA A100 PCIe 40 GB, which score 160,671 and 162,504 respectively.

The AMD Radeon PRO W7600 takes a different route. It is an active product with four DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, making it a direct fit for desktop workstations that need to drive multiple monitors. Its 8 GB memory and 288.0 GB/s bandwidth are more modest, but its 6 nm process node and RDNA 3.0 architecture deliver strong efficiency. The W7600 reaches the 93rd percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 87,108. That is a respectable showing, though it trails the A10G by a wide margin. The nearest rivals for the W7600 include the NVIDIA Quadro GP100 at 87,445 and the NVIDIA RTX A4500 at 91,671, which shows it competes in the upper mid-range of professional cards.

In practical terms, the A10G wins where raw compute throughput and memory capacity matter most. The W7600 wins where display connectivity and compact physical design are priorities. The data suggests these are complementary tools rather than direct substitutes, and each one dominates in its intended environment.

Architecture Differences

The two cards come from different architectural lineages, and the specifications reflect that divergence. The NVIDIA A10G uses the GA102 chip built on Ampere architecture, fabricated by Samsung on an 8 nm process. The die is large at 628 mm² and contains 28,300 million transistors, yielding a transistor density of 45.1 million per square millimeter. This is a high-power, high-throughput design with 9,216 shading units, 288 texture mapping units, and 96 raster operation units. It also includes 72 ray tracing cores and 288 tensor cores, which are absent on the AMD side. The A10G reports 31.52 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16 at a 1:1 ratio, meaning it does not double-rate half-precision work.

The AMD Radeon PRO W7600 uses the Navi 33 chip with RDNA 3.0 architecture, manufactured by TSMC on a 6 nm process. The die is much smaller at 204 mm², with 13,300 million transistors and a higher density of 65.2 million per square millimeter. It has 2,048 shading units, 128 TMUs, and 64 ROPs, along with 32 ray tracing cores. Notably, it has no tensor cores. The FP32 throughput is 19.99 TFLOPS, while FP16 reaches 39.98 TFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio, indicating a shader-based approach to half-precision rather than dedicated tensor hardware.

Memory configurations also differ sharply. The A10G uses 24 GB of GDDR6 on a 384-bit bus, achieving 600.2 GB/s bandwidth. The W7600 uses 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, achieving 288.0 GB/s. Clock speeds favor the AMD card: the W7600 boosts to 2440 MHz versus 1710 MHz for the A10G. However, the A10G compensates with far more compute units and a wider memory interface.

Power and connectivity further separate the two. The A10G has a 150 W TDP and requires an 8-pin EPS connector, with a suggested PSU of 450 W. The W7600 draws 130 W, uses a single 6-pin connector, and needs only a 300 W PSU. The A10G has no display outputs, while the W7600 provides four DisplayPort 2.1 ports. The bus interface also differs: the A10G uses PCIe 4.0 x16, while the W7600 uses PCIe 4.0 x8.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The two recorded benchmarks show a substantial performance gap. In Geekbench OpenCL, the NVIDIA A10G scores 158,063 against 81,528 for the AMD Radeon PRO W7600. That is a delta of 93.9 percent, meaning the A10G is nearly double the W7600 in this compute-heavy test. The A10G also wins Geekbench Vulkan, scoring 145,863 versus 92,688, a 57.4 percent advantage. These are large margins, and they reflect the A10G's broader execution resources and higher memory bandwidth.

Context from the nearest rivals helps interpret these numbers. The A10G sits close to the NVIDIA Tesla V100 PCIe 32 GB, which averages 150,305, a 1.1 percent difference. It trails the AMD Radeon Pro W6800X by 5.4 percent and the NVIDIA A100 PCIe 40 GB by 6.5 percent. The W7600, by contrast, sits near the NVIDIA Quadro GP100 at 87,445, which is only 0.4 percent behind, and the NVIDIA CMP 40HX at 85,637, which is 1.7 percent behind. The W7600 falls 4.4 percent short of the RTX A4500 Mobile and 5 percent short of the RTX A4500.

The OpenCL result is the more telling benchmark. A 93.9 percent lead in that test indicates the A10G delivers roughly double the raw compute performance for tasks that scale with shading units and memory bandwidth. The Vulkan result, while still decisive, shows a smaller gap, suggesting the W7600's architecture handles graphics-oriented workloads relatively better, though it still loses by a wide margin.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear conclusion: the NVIDIA A10G is the stronger compute performer, and the AMD Radeon PRO W7600 is the more practical workstation card for display-centric use. The A10G wins both benchmarks by large margins, with a 93.9 percent lead in OpenCL and a 57.4 percent lead in Vulkan. It also offers three times the memory capacity and more than double the bandwidth, making it the obvious choice for data-heavy tasks such as machine learning inference, large-scale rendering, or virtualized GPU workloads. Its 97th percentile ranking versus the W7600's 93rd percentile reinforces that hierarchy.

However, the W7600 is not without merit. It is built on a more advanced 6 nm process with higher transistor density, and it draws less power at 130 W versus 150 W. It has display outputs, which the A10G lacks entirely, and it is an active product rather than end-of-life. For a desktop workstation that needs to drive multiple monitors and handle moderate compute tasks, the W7600 is the sensible pick. Its 8 GB memory and 288.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for many professional workflows, and its nearest rival comparisons show it holds its own against similar NVIDIA cards.

The A10G, despite being end-of-life, remains a formidable accelerator. Its closest competitor, the Tesla V100 PCIe 32 GB, is only 1.1 percent behind, and it trails the much newer A100 by just 6.5 percent. The W7600, by contrast, is 5 percent behind the RTX A4500, which is a more modest gap but still a loss. The verdict is straightforward: choose the A10G for raw compute and memory capacity, choose the W7600 for display connectivity and modern efficiency. The two do not compete for the same buyer, and the benchmark data confirms that split.
