For the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile, the nearest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti with an average score of 29,945 (0.1% lower).

Q: How do the memory configurations differ?

A: The AMD Radeon PRO W7700 uses 16 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus with 576.0 GB/s bandwidth. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile uses 8 GB of GDDR7 on a 128-bit bus with 384.0 GB/s bandwidth.

Q: What is the transistor density comparison?

A: The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile has a transistor density of 121.0M per mm² on a 181 mm² die, while the AMD Radeon PRO W7700 has 81.2M per mm² on a 346 mm² die. The NVIDIA chip packs more transistors per area despite having fewer total transistors.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon PRO W7700 uses the Navi 32 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture with the codename Wheat Nas, part of the Radeon Pro Navi (Navi III Series) generation. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile uses the GB206 chip built on Blackwell 2.0 architecture, part of the GeForce 50 Mobile generation. Both are fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC, but the transistor counts diverge sharply: AMD integrates 28,100 million transistors on a 346 mm² die, while NVIDIA integrates 21,900 million on a smaller 181 mm² die. This results in a transistor density of 81.2M per mm² for AMD versus 121.0M per mm² for NVIDIA, indicating the NVIDIA design achieves higher packing efficiency.

The core configurations differ fundamentally. The AMD GPU has 3,072 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, and 96 raster output units. The NVIDIA GPU has 4,608 shading units, 144 TMUs, and 48 ROPs. The NVIDIA part includes 144 tensor cores, a feature entirely absent from the AMD specification, while the AMD part has 48 ray tracing cores versus 36 for NVIDIA. Clock speeds also diverge: the AMD GPU runs at a base of 1900 MHz and boosts to 2600 MHz, while the NVIDIA GPU runs at a much lower base of 907 MHz and boosts to 1425 MHz. These clock differences partly explain why the AMD part achieves a much higher FP32 throughput of 31.95 TFLOPS versus 13.13 TFLOPS for NVIDIA, despite having fewer shading units.

Memory architecture represents another major divide. The AMD Radeon PRO W7700 uses 16 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus, delivering 576.0 GB/s bandwidth. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile uses 8 GB of GDDR7 on a 128-bit bus, delivering 384.0 GB/s. The memory clock rates also differ: AMD runs at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective), while NVIDIA runs at 1500 MHz (24 Gbps effective). The FP16 computation rates show a notable asymmetry: AMD delivers 63.90 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio, while NVIDIA delivers 13.13 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio, meaning NVIDIA’s FP16 rate matches its FP32 rate exactly.

The Verdict

The recorded data indicates that these two GPUs serve fundamentally different purposes. The AMD Radeon PRO W7700, with its 95th percentile ranking and average benchmark score of 118,976, clearly targets compute-heavy professional workloads. Its closest rivals are enterprise and data-center parts like the NVIDIA GB10 and RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation, which cluster within 1.3% to 1.6% of its average score. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile, by contrast, sits in the 75th percentile with an average score of 29,928, and its nearest rivals are desktop gaming cards like the RTX 3070 Ti and RX 6800.

For users prioritizing raw compute throughput in applications that leverage OpenCL or Vulkan, the AMD part wins the Vulkan test outright with a 10.9% margin. The NVIDIA part wins the OpenCL test with an 11.4% margin. The AMD GPU also offers double the memory capacity (16 GB versus 8 GB) and significantly higher memory bandwidth (576.0 GB/s versus 384.0 GB/s), which matters for large datasets. However, the NVIDIA GPU consumes only 50 W compared to 190 W for AMD, and it comes as an integrated graphics processor (IGP) rather than a dual-slot add-in card. The AMD part requires a 450 W power supply and a 1x 8-pin connector, while the NVIDIA part has no power connectors and no recommended PSU.

The data suggests that the AMD Radeon PRO W7700 is positioned for workstation-class rendering and compute tasks where memory capacity, bandwidth, and FP32 throughput dominate. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile is positioned for mobile or compact systems where power efficiency and a smaller footprint matter more, and where its tensor cores (144 of them) could accelerate AI workloads that the AMD part cannot handle. Neither GPU dominates the other across all metrics: each wins exactly one of the two head-to-head tests.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The two recorded head-to-head benchmarks split evenly, with each GPU claiming one victory. In Geekbench OpenCL, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile scores 122,238 against the AMD Radeon PRO W7700’s 108,245, giving NVIDIA an 11.4% advantage. This is a substantial margin that indicates the NVIDIA part has an edge in OpenCL compute workloads, despite its lower FP32 throughput specification. In Geekbench Vulkan, the AMD Radeon PRO W7700 reverses the result, scoring 129,706 against NVIDIA’s 116,960, a 10.9% lead. The AMD part’s Vulkan score is its higher of the two benchmarks, whereas NVIDIA’s OpenCL score is its higher of the two.

Looking at the broader benchmark context, the AMD Radeon PRO W7700’s average score of 118,976 sits close to its nearest rivals: the NVIDIA GB10 at 117,393 (1.3% higher) and the NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation at 117,088 (1.6% higher). The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile’s average of 29,928 is nearly identical to its nearest rival, the RTX 3070 Ti at 29,945 (0.1% lower). The large gap between the two GPUs’ average scores, roughly 4x, reflects the vastly different performance tiers these parts occupy.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile also has additional benchmark data from PassMark tests: DirectX 10 at 129, DirectX 11 at 192, DirectX 12 at 93, DirectX 9 at 214, G2D at 896, G3D at 20,355, and GPU compute at 8,279. These scores are not available for the AMD Radeon PRO W7700 in the database, so a direct comparison on those specific tests is not possible. The G3D score of 20,355 is notably higher than the DirectX 12 score of 93, suggesting the NVIDIA part performs much better in older or less demanding graphics APIs than in modern ones.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon PRO W7700 wins clearly in scenarios that demand high memory capacity and bandwidth. Its 16 GB GDDR6 configuration with 576.0 GB/s bandwidth is double the capacity and 50% higher bandwidth than the NVIDIA part’s 8 GB GDDR7 with 384.0 GB/s. For workloads that involve large textures, complex 3D scenes, or data-parallel processing, this memory advantage is likely the deciding factor. The AMD part’s FP32 throughput of 31.95 TFLOPS versus 13.13 TFLOPS for NVIDIA further supports its strength in compute-heavy tasks. Its pixel rate of 249.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 499.2 GTexel/s also dwarf NVIDIA’s 68.40 GPixel/s and 205.2 GTexel/s, indicating superior rasterization throughput.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile wins in power efficiency and form factor. With a TDP of 50 W versus 190 W for AMD, the NVIDIA part uses less than one-third the power. It is an IGP (integrated graphics processor) with no power connectors and no suggested PSU, whereas the AMD part is a dual-slot card measuring 241 mm by 111 mm, requiring a 1x 8-pin connector and a 450 W power supply. The NVIDIA part also has 144 tensor cores, which are absent from the AMD specification, suggesting a capability for AI and machine learning workloads that the AMD part cannot match. Its PCIe 5.0 x16 interface is newer than AMD’s PCIe 4.0 x16.

The NVIDIA GPU’s OpenCL win of 11.4% indicates it may be preferable for OpenCL-based compute applications, despite its lower raw FP32 numbers. The AMD GPU’s Vulkan win of 10.9% suggests it handles Vulkan workloads better, which is relevant for gaming and real-time rendering. In terms of market positioning, the AMD part’s nearest rivals are professional and server GPUs, while the NVIDIA part’s nearest rivals are desktop gaming GPUs. This placement implies that the AMD Radeon PRO W7700 is better suited for professional visualization and compute tasks, whereas the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile fits into the mobile gaming or lightweight workstation segment. The release dates also show a generational gap: AMD launched in November 2023, while NVIDIA launched in April 2025.
