Analysis: AMD Radeon R7 M350 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER
The AMD Radeon R7 M350 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER occupy vastly different corners of the GPU landscape—one an end-of-life mobile-class chip from 2015, the other an active desktop flagship from nearly a decade later. Despite their extreme differences in age, architecture, and specifications, the benchmark database places them within 0.9% of each other in average score, a statistical coincidence that makes for an unusual comparison. The data shows that the R7 M350 achieves an average benchmark score of 6327, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER scores 6270, with the older card holding a razor-thin edge.
FAQ
Q: Which GPU has the higher average benchmark score?
A: The AMD Radeon R7 M350 scores 6327, which is 0.9% higher than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER’s 6270. This places the R7 M350 ahead by less than one percentage point, a margin well within normal run-to-run variance.
Q: What is the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER’s launch MSRP?
A: The launch MSRP for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is 749 USD. No pricing information is available for the R7 M350 in the data pack.
Q: How do the two cards compare in memory bandwidth?
A: The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER provides 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth from 16 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus, while the R7 M350 offers 16.00 GB/s from 4 GB of DDR3 on a 64-bit bus. The NVIDIA card delivers roughly 56 times the memory bandwidth.
Q: Which GPU supports ray tracing?
A: Only the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has dedicated ray tracing hardware, featuring 70 RT cores. The R7 M350 lists no RT cores, meaning it has no hardware ray tracing support.
Q: What are the production statuses of these two cards?
A: The R7 M350 is marked as End-of-life, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is listed as Active. The release dates are May 2015 for the AMD card and December 2025 for the NVIDIA card.
Q: How do their transistor densities compare?
A: The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has a transistor density of 120.6M / mm², nearly ten times higher than the R7 M350’s 12.4M / mm². Both chips are fabricated by TSMC, but on different process nodes (5 nm versus 28 nm).
Architecture Differences
The architectural gap here is generational. The R7 M350 uses the Meso chip built on GCN 3.0 architecture, fabricated on a 28 nm process at TSMC, with 1,550 million transistors on a 125 mm² die. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER employs the GB203 chip on Blackwell 2.0 architecture, also from TSMC but on a 5 nm node, packing 45,600 million transistors into a 378 mm² die. The transistor density jumps from 12.4M / mm² to 120.6M / mm², reflecting a decade of process improvements.
The R7 M350 belongs to the Gem System (R7 M300) generation and lists its predecessor as Solar System and successor as Polaris Mobile. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is part of the GeForce 50-series, with no predecessor or successor listed. The NVIDIA card integrates 70 RT cores and 280 tensor cores, neither of which exist on the AMD chip. The R7 M350 supports DirectX 12 (12_0), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.2.170, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Both cards offer FP16 at a 1:1 ratio with FP32, but the NVIDIA card’s FP32 throughput of 43.94 TFLOPS dwarfs the AMD card’s 779.5 GFLOPS.
The Verdict
The data presents a strange case: the R7 M350 technically outscores the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER in average benchmark score, but this is a misleading artifact of the testing methodology. The R7 M350’s two benchmark entries are Geekbench OpenCL (6991) and Geekbench Vulkan (5662), while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has a single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result of 6269.5. These are different workloads measuring different capabilities, so the 0.9% delta should not be interpreted as real performance equivalence.
For any modern gaming, rendering, or compute task, the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is the only viable choice. It offers 16 GB of GDDR7 memory versus 4 GB of DDR3, a 256-bit bus versus 64-bit, 896.0 GB/s bandwidth versus 16.00 GB/s, and 8960 shading units versus 384. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER also delivers hardware ray tracing, tensor cores, and a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface. The R7 M350 is an end-of-life product from 2015, limited to PCIe 3.0 x8, and lacks the feature set required for contemporary software. Pick the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER for anything modern; pick the R7 M350 only if you are cataloging legacy hardware.
Specification Differences
The specification sheet reads like a comparison across eras. The R7 M350 has 384 shading units, 24 TMUs, and 8 ROPs, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has 8960 shading units, 280 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. The pixel rate jumps from 8.120 GPixel/s to 235.4 GPixel/s, and the texture rate from 24.36 GTexel/s to 686.6 GTexel/s. The FP32 compute is 779.5 GFLOPS versus 43.94 TFLOPS—a 56-fold difference.
The R7 M350 runs at a base clock of 1000 MHz and boost of 1015 MHz, with memory at 1000 MHz (2 Gbps effective). The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has a base clock of 2295 MHz and boost of 2452 MHz, with memory at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). The NVIDIA card has a TDP of 350 W, is dual-slot, uses a 1x 16-pin power connector, and measures 304 mm in length, 137 mm in height, and 48 mm in width. The R7 M350 has no listed TDP, slot width, power connector, or dimensions. The bus interface differs from PCIe 3.0 x8 to PCIe 5.0 x16, and the display outputs on the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER are 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b, while the AMD card lists none.
Head-to-Head Benchmarks
The head-to-head benchmark table is empty, so no direct same-test comparisons exist. Instead, the nearest rival data provides context. The R7 M350’s nearest rivals include the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER with a deltaPct of 0.9, meaning the AMD card’s average score is 0.9% higher. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER’s nearest rivals include the R7 M350 with a deltaPct of -0.9, confirming the same relationship from the opposite direction.
The R7 M350’s biggest benchmark wins come from Geekbench OpenCL, where it scores 6991, and Geekbench Vulkan at 5662. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER’s only benchmark is 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 at 6269.5. The R7 M350 also edges out its other rivals: it is 0% delta from the AMD Radeon Pro WX 4100 (6330) and 0.7% ahead of the NVIDIA Quadro K620 (6282). The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is 0% from the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 (6270), -0.2% from the Quadro K620 (6282), and 0.8% from the AMD FirePro W600 (6223). Both cards share a 36th percentile ranking among all GPUs, placing them in the same overall performance tier despite their massive architectural differences.
Where Each One Wins
The R7 M350 wins in legacy compute workloads. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 6991 exceeds the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER’s 3DMark result, and its Vulkan score of 5662 is also higher. For older applications that rely on GCN-era compute paths, the R7 M350’s scores suggest it remains functional. The card also wins in power footprint—though no TDP is listed, the absence of a power connector specification implies minimal draw compared to the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER’s 350 W TDP and 16-pin connector.
The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER wins in every modern use case by virtue of its specifications. It is the only card with ray tracing (70 RT cores) and tensor cores (280). Its memory subsystem—16 GB GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus with 896.0 GB/s bandwidth—supports high-resolution textures and large datasets that would instantly exhaust the R7 M350’s 4 GB DDR3. The pixel rate of 235.4 GPixel/s and texture rate of 686.6 GTexel/s make it suitable for high-refresh-rate gaming and professional rendering. The PCIe 5.0 x16 interface offers 16 lanes of modern bandwidth versus 8 lanes of PCIe 3.0. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER also supports DirectX 12 Ultimate and Vulkan 1.4, ensuring compatibility with current and near-future software. The R7 M350 is end-of-life; the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is active. For any workload released after 2015, the NVIDIA card is the clear choice, while the R7 M350’s only claim to victory is in the narrow field of legacy OpenCL and Vulkan tests.
