Q: What are the power requirements?

A: The NVIDIA T600 has a 40 W TDP and a suggested PSU of 200 W, while the AMD Radeon Pro WX 4100 has a 50 W TDP and a suggested PSU of 250 W. Both are single-slot cards with no additional power connectors.

Architecture Differences

The NVIDIA T600 is built on the Turing architecture using the TU117 chip, manufactured on a 12 nm process at TSMC. The die contains 4,700 million transistors on a 200 mm² surface, giving a transistor density of 23.5M per mm². The AMD Radeon Pro WX 4100 uses the GCN 4.0 architecture with the Baffin chip, produced on a 14 nm process at GlobalFoundries. That die holds 3,000 million transistors across 123 mm², resulting in a slightly higher density of 24.4M per mm².

The compute layouts differ substantially. The NVIDIA T600 packs 640 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs. The AMD card has 1,024 shading units, 64 TMUs, but only 16 ROPs. This explains why the AMD card achieves a higher texture rate of 76.86 GTexel/s versus 53.40 GTexel/s for the T600, while the T600 counters with a much higher pixel rate of 42.72 GPixel/s versus 19.22 GPixel/s for the AMD card.

Memory architecture also diverges. Both cards use 4 GB of VRAM on a 128-bit bus, but the T600 employs GDDR6 at 10 Gbps effective, yielding 160.0 GB/s. The WX 4100 uses GDDR5 at 6 Gbps effective, capping bandwidth at 96.00 GB/s. Clock behavior differs too: the T600 has a 735 MHz base and 1335 MHz boost, while the AMD card runs at 1125 MHz base and 1201 MHz boost. The AMD card thus starts at a higher clock but boosts only 76 MHz above base, while the NVIDIA card boosts 600 MHz above base.

Feature support shows generational differences. The T600 supports DirectX 12 (12_1), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The WX 4100 supports DirectX 12 (12_0), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3. Neither card has dedicated ray tracing or tensor cores. The T600 offers FP16 at 3.418 TFLOPS using a 2:1 ratio, while the AMD card runs FP16 at 2.460 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio, meaning no FP16 acceleration beyond FP32.

The bus interface also differs. The NVIDIA card uses PCIe 3.0 x16, while the AMD card uses PCIe 3.0 x8. Both provide four mini-DisplayPort 1.4a outputs. The AMD card has recorded physical dimensions of 168 mm length and 69 mm height; the NVIDIA card dimensions are not recorded in the database. Both are single-slot designs with no power connectors.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records nine head-to-head benchmark comparisons, and the NVIDIA T600 wins all nine. The largest margin appears in Passmark DirectX 11, where the T600 scores 49 against 24 for the AMD card, a 104.2% lead. Passmark DirectX 9 shows a similar gap: 114 versus 56, a 103.6% advantage. These legacy DirectX workloads favor the Turing architecture heavily.

Passmark DirectX 10 also shows a decisive result: 32 versus 16, a 100% lead. In DirectX 12, the gap narrows considerably to 25 versus 22, a 13.6% advantage. This suggests that newer API workloads bring the two cards closer together, though the T600 still holds the edge.

In compute-focused tests, the T600 leads Geekbench OpenCL with 27875 versus 17642, a 58% delta. Geekbench Vulkan shows 25580 versus 18703, a 36.8% margin. Passmark GPU Compute records 2402 versus 1475, a 62.8% advantage. These results are notable because the AMD card has higher raw FP32 throughput (2.460 TFLOPS versus 1.709 TFLOPS), yet the NVIDIA card wins every compute benchmark in the database.

The 2D and 3D graphics tests also favor NVIDIA. Passmark G2D scores 756 versus 646, a 17% lead. Passmark G3D shows 6479 versus 3699, a 75.2% margin. The G3D result is particularly striking given that the AMD card has 1,024 shading units versus 640 for the T600, but the NVIDIA card still dominates the rasterized workload.

The average benchmark scores reflect these results: the T600 averages 7035, placing it among rivals like the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680M (7023, 0.2% delta) and the AMD Radeon R5 M240 (6975, 0.9% delta). The AMD WX 4100 averages 6330, sitting near the AMD Radeon R7 M350 (6327, 0.1% delta) and NVIDIA Quadro K620 (6282, 0.8% delta). The T600 also sits ahead of the GeForce GTX 970 (7157, -1.7% delta), meaning it trails that card by 1.7%, while the WX 4100 trails the GeForce GTX 460 SE and GTX 580M by 0.9% each.

The Verdict

The recorded data points to the NVIDIA T600 as the stronger card in nearly every measurable way. It wins all nine head-to-head benchmarks, has a higher average score (7035 versus 6330), and sits at a higher percentile (39th versus 37th). The largest margins appear in DirectX 9, 10, and 11 workloads, where the T600 leads by roughly 100% or more. Even in modern APIs like Vulkan and OpenCL, the T600 maintains a substantial lead of 36.8% and 58% respectively.

The AMD Radeon Pro WX 4100 does hold advantages in raw specifications. It has more shading units (1,024 versus 640), higher FP32 throughput (2.460 TFLOPS versus 1.709 TFLOPS), a higher texture rate (76.86 GTexel/s versus 53.40 GTexel/s), and a higher base clock (1125 MHz versus 735 MHz). None of these translate into benchmark wins in the database. The T600 counters with higher pixel rate, higher memory bandwidth, and better API support, and the benchmark results show that these factors dominate.

For users prioritising legacy DirectX performance, the T600 is the clear choice. For those working with OpenCL compute or Vulkan, the T600 still leads by wide margins. The AMD card's only theoretical advantage lies in raw shader count and FP32, but the measured data does not show any workload where this translates into a win. The verdict from the database is unambiguous: the NVIDIA T600 outperforms the AMD Radeon Pro WX 4100 across every recorded benchmark.

Specification Differences

The two cards differ in process node (12 nm for NVIDIA versus 14 nm for AMD), foundry (TSMC versus GlobalFoundries), transistor count (4,700 million versus 3,000 million), die size (200 mm² versus 123 mm²), and transistor density (23.5M per mm² versus 24.4M per mm²). The NVIDIA chip uses Turing architecture, while AMD uses GCN 4.0.

Clock speeds differ significantly: the T600 has a 735 MHz base and 1335 MHz boost, while the WX 4100 has a 1125 MHz base and 1201 MHz boost. Memory type differs (GDDR6 versus GDDR5), as does effective speed (10 Gbps versus 6 Gbps) and bandwidth (160.0 GB/s versus 96.00 GB/s). Both have 4 GB capacity and 128-bit bus width.

The shading unit count differs (640 versus 1,024), as do TMUs (40 versus 64) and ROPs (32 versus 16). Pixel rate is higher on NVIDIA (42.72 GPixel/s versus 19.22 GPixel/s), while texture rate is higher on AMD (76.86 GTexel/s versus 53.40 GTexel/s). FP32 is higher on AMD (2.460 TFLOPS versus 1.709 TFLOPS), and FP16 differs in ratio: NVIDIA runs 2:1 at 3.418 TFLOPS, AMD runs 1:1 at 2.460 TFLOPS.

TDP differs (40 W versus 50 W), as does suggested PSU (200 W versus 250 W). The bus interface is PCIe 3.0 x16 for NVIDIA versus PCIe 3.0 x8 for AMD. DirectX support differs (12_1 versus 12_0), and Vulkan support differs (1.4 versus 1.3). The AMD card has recorded dimensions of 168 mm by 69 mm; NVIDIA dimensions are not recorded. Release dates differ: the T600 launched in 2021, while the WX 4100 launched in 2016. The AMD card has a recorded launch MSRP of 399 USD.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA T600 wins in every benchmark category recorded. Its strongest areas are legacy DirectX performance: Passmark DirectX 9 shows a 103.6% lead, DirectX 10 shows a 100% lead, and DirectX 11 shows a 104.2% lead. The T600 also excels in 3D graphics, with a 75.2% margin in Passmark G3D, and in compute, with a 62.8% lead in Passmark GPU Compute. Its pixel rate advantage (42.72 GPixel/s versus 19.22 GPixel/s) and memory bandwidth advantage (160.0 GB/s versus 96.00 GB/s) likely contribute to these results.

The AMD Radeon Pro WX 4100 does not win any recorded benchmark, but its specification sheet suggests where it might hold theoretical advantages. Its higher FP32 throughput (2.460 TFLOPS versus 1.709 TFLOPS) and higher texture rate (76.86 GTexel/s versus 53.40 GTexel/s) could benefit workloads that rely heavily on raw shader processing, though the database does not include such a test. Its higher base clock (1125 MHz versus 735 MHz) may help in sustained low-power scenarios. The AMD card also has a higher transistor density (24.4M per mm² versus 23.5M per mm²), indicating a more compact design.

Based on the recorded data, the T600 is the appropriate choice for users running DirectX 9 through 11 applications, OpenCL compute tasks, Vulkan workloads, or general 3D rendering. The WX 4100 might be considered only in scenarios where its higher shader count and FP32 throughput could matter, but no benchmark in the database confirms such an advantage. For every measured workload, the NVIDIA T600 delivers superior performance.
