Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon PRO W7600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER represent two fundamentally different architectural approaches. The W7600 is built on AMD's RDNA 3.0 architecture, using the Navi 33 chip with the codename "Hotpink Bonefish." It belongs to the Radeon Pro Navi generation, specifically the Navi III Series. The RTX 5080 SUPER uses NVIDIA's Blackwell 2.0 architecture on the GB203 chip and belongs to the GeForce 50-series generation.

The manufacturing process differs between the two. AMD uses a 6 nm process from TSMC, while NVIDIA uses a 5 nm process, also from TSMC. This process difference contributes to a substantial gap in transistor counts: the W7600 packs 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 65.2 million per mm². The RTX 5080 SUPER contains 45,600 million transistors on a 378 mm² die, achieving a density of 120.6 million per mm². The RTX 5080 SUPER's die is larger and far denser.

Compute resources differ dramatically. The AMD card has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units. It includes 32 ray tracing cores but no tensor cores. The NVIDIA card has 10752 shading units, 336 TMUs, and 112 ROPs. It includes 84 ray tracing cores and 336 tensor cores. The NVIDIA card's shading unit count is more than five times higher.

Clock behavior also separates the two. The W7600 runs at a base clock of 1720 MHz and boosts to 2440 MHz. The RTX 5080 SUPER runs at 2295 MHz base and 2617 MHz boost. Memory clocks show a similar split: the W7600 uses 2250 MHz memory with 18 Gbps effective speed, while the RTX 5080 SUPER uses 2000 MHz memory with 32 Gbps effective speed.

The FP16 implementation differs. The AMD card delivers 39.98 TFLOPS FP16 with a 2:1 ratio relative to FP32, meaning it achieves half rate when processing FP16 workloads. The NVIDIA card delivers 56.28 TFLOPS FP16 with a 1:1 ratio, meaning full rate FP16 performance matching its FP32 output.

Both cards support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The bus interfaces differ: the W7600 uses PCIe 4.0 x8, while the RTX 5080 SUPER uses PCIe 5.0 x16. Physical dimensions also differ, with the W7600 at 241 mm length and 115 mm height in a single-slot design, while the RTX 5080 SUPER measures 304 mm by 137 mm by 40 mm in a dual-slot design.

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data shows a stark separation between these two cards, primarily because they were tested with different workloads. The AMD Radeon PRO W7600 excels in compute-oriented synthetic benchmarks. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 81528 and Geekbench Vulkan score of 92688 place it in the 93rd percentile of all GPUs. Its average benchmark score of 87108 puts it in the company of professional workstation cards like the NVIDIA RTX A4500, which scores 91671 with a delta of -5%, and the NVIDIA Quadro GP100, which scores 87445 with a delta of -0.4%. The W7600 also outperforms the NVIDIA CMP 40HX (85637, +1.7% delta) and comes within 4.4% of the RTX A4500 Mobile (91134).

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER's recorded benchmark is limited to a single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result of 3075. This places it in the 19th percentile among all GPUs, a much lower overall standing. Its nearest rivals in the database are notably different: the NVIDIA Quadro P1000 (3163, -2.8% delta), the Intel Arc Pro B60 (3182, -3.4% delta), the NVIDIA GeForce 820A (2983, +3.1% delta), and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M (2967, +3.6% delta). These are all older or lower-tier cards, which suggests the RTX 5080 SUPER's single recorded test may not reflect its full capability, but the data as recorded shows it performing in a much lower tier.

Where the W7600 wins is clear: in OpenCL and Vulkan compute workloads, it demonstrates strong professional-grade performance. The RTX 5080 SUPER's advantage lies in its architecture and specifications rather than its recorded benchmark results. With 24 GB of GDDR7 memory, 1.02 TB/s bandwidth, 56.28 TFLOPS FP32, and 336 tensor cores, it is positioned for AI and high-bandwidth workloads, but the database does not contain benchmark results that confirm this advantage in practice.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no shared head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Radeon PRO W7600 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER. The wins counter shows 0 for each card, and the headToHeadBenchmarks array is empty. Each card was evaluated with different test suites, making direct score comparisons impossible.

The W7600's benchmark profile includes Geekbench OpenCL at 81528 and Geekbench Vulkan at 92688. These results place it in the 93rd percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival comparisons show a tight grouping: the Quadro GP100 is 0.4% higher, the CMP 40HX is 1.7% lower, the RTX A4500 Mobile is 4.4% higher, and the RTX A4500 is 5% higher. This indicates the W7600 performs within a narrow band of established professional workstation cards.

The RTX 5080 SUPER's only recorded benchmark is 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 at 3075. Its nearest rivals show a different competitive landscape: the Quadro P1000 is 2.8% higher, the Arc Pro B60 is 3.4% higher, the GeForce 820A is 3.1% lower, and the GTX 860M is 3.6% lower. These deltas place the RTX 5080 SUPER in a much lower performance tier based on the recorded data.

The absence of overlapping benchmarks means no direct numerical comparison can be made between these two cards. The W7600's scores are compute-oriented, while the RTX 5080 SUPER's score is a DX12 gaming test. The percentile gap is large, with the W7600 at 93 and the RTX 5080 SUPER at 19, but this reflects different test methodologies rather than a definitive performance hierarchy.

The Verdict

The recorded data presents an unusual comparison. The AMD Radeon PRO W7600 demonstrates strong, validated performance in compute benchmarks. Its average score of 87108, 93rd percentile standing, and tight competition with professional cards like the RTX A4500 and Quadro GP100 make it a proven workstation option for OpenCL and Vulkan workloads. Its 130 W TDP, single-slot design, and PCIe 4.0 x8 interface indicate a card built for dense professional environments.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER presents a different story. Its single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3075 and 19th percentile placement are not competitive with the W7600's recorded results. Its nearest rivals include older cards like the GTX 860M and Quadro P1000, which suggests the recorded benchmark may not represent its intended market position. However, its specifications tell a different tale: 24 GB of GDDR7 memory, 1.02 TB/s bandwidth, 10752 shading units, 84 ray tracing cores, 336 tensor cores, and 56.28 TFLOPS FP32. These are flagship-class specifications that the current benchmark data does not validate.

For buyers whose workloads match the recorded benchmarks, the AMD Radeon PRO W7600 is the clear choice. It delivers professional-grade OpenCL and Vulkan performance in a power-efficient, compact package. The data confirms it competes with established workstation cards within a 5% margin.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER cannot be recommended based on benchmark results, because the database contains insufficient evidence of its performance. The specifications suggest substantial compute and memory capabilities, particularly for AI workloads given the tensor cores and high bandwidth, but no recorded benchmark confirms these capabilities. The 19th percentile ranking and competition with entry-level cards in the recorded data indicate that, based on available measurements, the W7600 is the stronger performer. Buyers considering the RTX 5080 SUPER should note that the database has not yet captured benchmarks that demonstrate its architectural advantages.
