AMD Radeon PRO W7900 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 AD103 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database shows no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Radeon PRO W7900 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 AD103. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and neither product has a recorded win count against the other in this comparison. This absence of direct measurements means the analysis must rely on the broader benchmark scores and architectural data available for each card.

The AMD Radeon PRO W7900 has two recorded benchmark scores. In the Geekbench OpenCL test, it delivers a score of 84379. In the Geekbench Vulkan test, the card reaches 137070. Its average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 110725. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 AD103, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. Its average benchmark score is listed as zero, and its nearest rivals array is empty. This data gap means there is no numerical basis for a direct performance comparison between these two specific cards in the database.

However, the AMD card's position among other GPUs can be examined. The Radeon PRO W7900 sits at the 94th percentile among all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon Pro Vega II, which has an average score of 109617 and a delta percentage of 1 percent relative to the W7900. The NVIDIA RTX A5500 Mobile posts an average score of 113944, which is 2.8 percent higher than the W7900. The AMD Radeon Pro W6600X records an average score of 107342, putting it 3.2 percent lower than the W7900. The NVIDIA Tesla V100 SXM2 16 GB scores 114395 on average, which is 3.2 percent above the W7900.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 AD103 holds a 50th percentile ranking among all GPUs, but with no benchmark data, this percentile appears to reflect its position based on other criteria or perhaps a default placement. The lack of any scores or rival comparisons makes it impossible to state how it performs relative to the AMD card in measurable terms.

The data indicates that the AMD Radeon PRO W7900 is a high-performing card in the database, sitting near the top of the distribution. Its average score of 110725 places it slightly below the NVIDIA RTX A5500 Mobile and the NVIDIA Tesla V100 SXM2 16 GB, while remaining ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro Vega II and the AMD Radeon Pro W6600X. The deltas are small, ranging from 1 percent to 3.2 percent, suggesting these cards occupy a similar performance tier in the recorded benchmarks.

The Verdict

The database does not provide any direct benchmark comparison between the AMD Radeon PRO W7900 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 AD103. The NVIDIA card has no recorded scores, no average benchmark score, and no nearest rivals. The AMD card has two recorded scores and a clear position among its peers. Without shared benchmark data, a verdict on which card performs better cannot be derived from the measurements.

What the data does show is that the AMD Radeon PRO W7900 is a well-documented performer. Its average benchmark score of 110725 places it at the 94th percentile among all GPUs. The card's nearest rivals all fall within a narrow range of 3.2 percent below to 3.2 percent above its average score. This suggests the W7900 competes closely with other high-end workstation and data center cards in the database.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 AD103, on the other hand, appears with no performance data whatsoever. The database records its percentile as 50, but this figure is not supported by any benchmark score. The card's production status is listed as end-of-life, and its successor is the GeForce 50 series. The lack of measurements for this card means any conclusion about its performance relative to the AMD card would be speculation, not analysis.

The data indicates that the AMD Radeon PRO W7900 is the only card in this comparison with a verified performance profile. The NVIDIA card's absence from the benchmark records prevents any direct comparison. The verdict from the data is simple: the AMD card has measurable performance, while the NVIDIA card does not have recorded performance in this database.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon PRO W7900 demonstrates clear strengths in the recorded benchmark data. Its Geekbench Vulkan score of 137070 is substantially higher than its OpenCL score of 84379, indicating strong performance in Vulkan-based workloads. The average benchmark score of 110725 reflects a card that performs consistently across the tests it has taken.

The card's memory configuration supports its workstation positioning. It has 48 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 384-bit bus, delivering 864.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The memory clock runs at 2250 MHz, which translates to 18 Gbps effective. This large memory pool and high bandwidth are characteristics suited to data-heavy workloads such as rendering, simulation, and large model processing.

The compute capabilities of the AMD card are substantial. It has 6144 shading units, 384 texture mapping units, and 192 raster output pipelines. The pixel rate is 479.0 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 958.1 GTexel/s. The FP32 compute rate is 61.32 TFLOPS, with FP16 also rated at 61.32 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio. These figures indicate a card designed for high-throughput parallel computation.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 AD103, with no recorded benchmarks, cannot be assigned any wins based on measured performance. Its specifications, however, show a different design focus. The card has 5888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 64 raster output pipelines. Its pixel rate is 158.4 GPixel/s, and its texture rate is 455.4 GTexel/s. The FP32 and FP16 rates are both 29.15 TFLOPS at 1:1.

The NVIDIA card includes 184 tensor cores and 46 ray tracing cores, features that are present in its architecture. The AMD card has 96 ray tracing cores and no tensor cores listed. The NVIDIA card's memory is 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus, delivering 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The memory clock is 1313 MHz, or 21 Gbps effective.

The specification differences suggest the AMD card is oriented toward raw compute throughput and large memory capacity, while the NVIDIA card includes tensor core functionality that the AMD card does not list. The data does not show any measured performance for the NVIDIA card, so its wins in any workload category cannot be quantified.
