AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 vs NVIDIA T600 Mobile Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data splits these two professional mobile and workstation GPUs into very different use cases. The AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 wins both head-to-head benchmark comparisons in the database, taking the Geekbench OpenCL test and the Geekbench Vulkan test. That gives it a clean 2-0 record over the NVIDIA T600 Mobile. The AMD card also holds a higher overall position in the database, sitting at the 82nd percentile among all GPUs, while the NVIDIA T600 Mobile lands at the 77th percentile.

The AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 is the stronger choice for compute-oriented workloads that rely on OpenCL and Vulkan. Its average benchmark score of 40,063 exceeds the NVIDIA T600 Mobile's average of 32,849 by a substantial margin. The gap is not a small one: the AMD card leads by roughly 22% in average score. That kind of lead matters in professional environments where rendering, simulation, or GPU-accelerated compute tasks dominate the daily workload.

The NVIDIA T600 Mobile, by contrast, wins in the portability and power efficiency domain. Its power draw is listed at 40 W, compared to 130 W for the AMD card. It is an integrated-class form factor labeled as IGP, meaning it is designed for mobile systems where space and thermal limits are tight. The AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 is a single-slot card requiring a 6-pin power connector and a 300 W suggested power supply, which positions it as a desktop workstation component rather than a mobile solution. The NVIDIA T600 Mobile draws no external power connectors at all.

For users who need raw compute throughput in a stationary workstation, the AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 is the clear winner in the benchmark data. For users who need a low-power mobile GPU that can fit into a laptop or compact system, the NVIDIA T600 Mobile is the only one of the two that fits that profile. The data does not show a scenario where the NVIDIA card outperforms the AMD card in raw performance, so its appeal rests entirely on form factor and power characteristics.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different manufacturers and different architectural generations. The AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 uses the Ellesmere chip built on GCN 4.0 architecture, fabricated on a 14 nm process at GlobalFoundries. The NVIDIA T600 Mobile uses the TU117 chip built on Turing architecture, fabricated on a 12 nm process at TSMC. These are fundamentally different designs with different priorities.

The AMD chip packs 5,700 million transistors on a 232 mm² die, for a transistor density of 24.6 million per square millimeter. The NVIDIA chip contains 4,700 million transistors on a 200 mm² die, for a density of 23.5 million per square millimeter. The AMD GPU is the larger chip in both transistor count and die area. The process nodes differ as well, with AMD using the older 14 nm node and NVIDIA using the smaller 12 nm node, though the density figures end up close.

The compute resources differ sharply. The AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 has 2,304 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, and 32 render output units. The NVIDIA T600 Mobile has 896 shading units, 56 texture mapping units, and 32 render output units. The AMD card has more than 2.5 times the shading units and more than 2.5 times the texture units. The render output count is identical at 32, which explains why the pixel rates are close.

Memory configurations also diverge. The AMD card uses 8 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus, yielding 224.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The NVIDIA card uses 4 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, yielding 192.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The AMD card has twice the memory capacity and higher bandwidth, while the NVIDIA card uses a newer memory type. The memory clocks reflect this: the AMD memory runs at 1750 MHz with 7 Gbps effective, while the NVIDIA memory runs at 1500 MHz with 12 Gbps effective.

Clock behavior is interesting. The AMD card has a base clock of 1188 MHz and a boost clock of 1243 MHz, a relatively small boost range. The NVIDIA card has a base clock of 780 MHz and a boost clock of 1410 MHz, a much larger boost range. The NVIDIA card starts much lower but boosts significantly higher, though its smaller compute configuration still cannot match the AMD card's throughput.

API support differs slightly. Both support DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.6. The AMD card supports Vulkan 1.3, while the NVIDIA card supports Vulkan 1.4. The AMD card's DirectX support is listed as 12 (12_0), while NVIDIA's is 12 (12_1). The NVIDIA card has a newer Vulkan version and a slightly higher DirectX feature level.

The FP16 situation is notable. The AMD card delivers 5.728 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16, a 1:1 ratio. The NVIDIA card delivers 2.527 TFLOPS for FP32 but 5.053 TFLOPS for FP16, a 2:1 ratio. This means the NVIDIA card is relatively stronger in FP16 workloads, though its FP16 output is still slightly below the AMD card's FP16 output. For pure FP32, the AMD card leads with 5.728 TFLOPS versus 2.527 TFLOPS, a lead of more than 2.2 times.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains two direct head-to-head comparisons between these GPUs, and the AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 wins both.

In Geekbench OpenCL, the AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 scores 40,148 against the NVIDIA T600 Mobile's 35,486. That is a 13.1% advantage for the AMD card. This test exercises general-purpose compute across a variety of workloads, and the AMD card's larger shader count and higher FP32 throughput show up clearly. The 13.1% gap is meaningful but not overwhelming; the NVIDIA card's higher boost clock and FP16 capabilities likely close some of the distance.

In Geekbench Vulkan, the gap widens considerably. The AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 scores 39,683 against the NVIDIA T600 Mobile's 30,211. That is a 31.4% advantage for the AMD card. Vulkan tends to scale well with raw compute resources, and the AMD card's 2,304 shading units versus 896 give it a decisive edge. The NVIDIA card falls further behind in this API than in OpenCL, suggesting that its architecture does not translate its resources as effectively in Vulkan workloads.

Looking at the averages, the AMD card's average benchmark score is 40,063. Its individual scores are tightly clustered: 40,357 in Metal, 40,148 in OpenCL, and 39,683 in Vulkan. The NVIDIA card's average is 32,849, with scores of 35,486 in OpenCL and 30,211 in Vulkan. The NVIDIA card shows more variance across APIs, with its Vulkan score trailing its OpenCL score by more than 15%.

The nearest rivals in the database add context. The AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 sits very close to the AMD Radeon Pro 580, which averages 40,318, a delta of -0.6%. It is also near the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 at 40,377, a delta of -0.8%. The NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile averages 39,568, putting the AMD card 1.3% ahead, and the AMD Radeon Pro 575 averages 39,555, also 1.3% behind the WX 7100.

The Verdict

The benchmark data points to a straightforward conclusion for raw performance: the AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 is the stronger GPU. It wins both head-to-head tests, leads by 13.1% in OpenCL and 31.4% in Vulkan, and holds a higher average score and percentile ranking. Its larger shader count, higher FP32 throughput, double memory capacity, and wider memory bus all support this outcome. Anyone selecting a GPU for compute-heavy workstation tasks should choose the AMD card based on this data.

The NVIDIA T600 Mobile is the choice for a different set of priorities. Its 40 W power draw, IGP form factor, and lack of power connectors make it suitable for mobile systems where the AMD card's 130 W draw and single-slot physical design would not fit. The NVIDIA card also offers newer API versions, including Vulkan 1.4 and DirectX 12 (12_1), and its FP16 throughput at 5.053 TFLOPS is closer to the AMD card's 5.728 TFLOPS than its FP32 figures would suggest.

The data does not support choosing the NVIDIA card for performance. It is 31.4% behind in Vulkan and 13.1% behind in OpenCL. Its average score places it in the 77th percentile, five points below the AMD card's 82nd percentile. Its nearest rivals cluster around the 32,500 to 33,200 range, a tier well below the AMD card's cluster around 39,500 to 40,400.

For a desktop workstation with power and space available, the AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 is the clear pick. For a portable system requiring minimal power draw and no external power connection, the NVIDIA T600 Mobile is the only viable option between these two. The decision is not about which is faster; the data answers that question decisively. It is about whether the workload requires the AMD card's performance or the NVIDIA card's mobility.
