AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE vs NVIDIA H200 NVL Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains a single direct comparison between the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE and the NVIDIA H200 NVL: the Geekbench OpenCL test. The results are decisive. The NVIDIA H200 NVL records a score of 334,891, while the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE records 83,109. The H200 NVL leads by 251,782 points, a 75.2% advantage over the AMD part. This is the only head-to-head benchmark recorded, and the H200 NVL wins it outright.

The magnitude of this gap is substantial. A 75.2% deficit means the AMD card delivers roughly one-quarter of the compute throughput in this OpenCL workload. The H200 NVL’s score places it in the 100th percentile among all GPUs in the database, meaning no other recorded GPU outperforms it. The RX 7650 GRE, by contrast, sits in the 83rd percentile. While that percentile is respectable for a consumer graphics card, it does not approach the absolute top tier occupied by the H200 NVL.

Looking at the average benchmark scores reinforces the hierarchy. The RX 7650 GRE has an average score of 42,723 across all recorded tests, while the H200 NVL has an average of 334,891. The H200 NVL is roughly 7.8 times higher in average score. However, the average score includes different test suites, so the direct OpenCL comparison is the more reliable indicator of relative performance in that specific workload.

The nearest rivals for the RX 7650 GRE further contextualize its position. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER averages 43,223, which is 1.2% higher than the RX 7650 GRE. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB averages 43,262, also 1.2% higher. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile averages 43,268, 1.3% higher, and the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 averages 43,301, 1.3% higher. These are all close competitors, with deltas under 1.5%. The RX 7650 GRE is essentially in the same performance class as these cards, differing by only a few percentage points.

The H200 NVL’s nearest rivals show a different competitive landscape. The NVIDIA B200 leads it by 3.1% with an average score of 345,482. The AMD Instinct MI300X trails by 5.3% with 317,994. The NVIDIA B300 SXM6 AC leads by 9.4% with 369,831. The NVIDIA L40S trails by 13.2% with 295,763. These deltas, while larger than those for the RX 7650 GRE’s rivals, are still relatively modest for such high-end hardware. The H200 NVL is competitive with the fastest server accelerators in the database, but it does not hold the absolute top spot; the B200 and B300 SXM6 AC both score higher.

The head-to-head result is unambiguous: the H200 NVL dominates the RX 7650 GRE in OpenCL compute. There are no recorded benchmarks where the RX 7650 GRE wins. The wins tally in the database shows 0 wins for the AMD card and 1 win for the NVIDIA card. This is a one-sided comparison, reflecting the fundamentally different market positions of the two products.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural families and target entirely different workloads. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE uses the RDNA 3.0 architecture, built on the Navi 33 chip, with the codename Hotpink Bonefish. It is part of the Navi III generation within the Radeon RX 7000 series. The NVIDIA H200 NVL uses the Hopper architecture, built on the GH100 chip, and belongs to the Server Hopper generation. These are separate design philosophies: one for consumer graphics and gaming, the other for server-scale compute and AI acceleration.

The manufacturing process differs. The RX 7650 GRE uses a 6 nm process at TSMC, while the H200 NVL uses a 5 nm process, also at TSMC. The smaller node allows higher transistor density. The H200 NVL packs 80,000 million transistors into a die size of 814 mm², yielding a density of 98.3 million transistors per square millimeter. The RX 7650 GRE has 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, with a density of 65.2 million per square millimeter. The H200 NVL has roughly six times the transistor count and a die area four times larger.

Memory configurations are starkly different. The RX 7650 GRE comes with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The H200 NVL uses 141 GB of HBM3e memory on a 6144-bit bus, delivering 4.89 TB/s. The H200 NVL has nearly 17 times the memory capacity and over 16 times the bandwidth. The memory clock differs as well: the RX 7650 GRE runs at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective), while the H200 NVL runs at 1593 MHz (6.4 Gbps effective). The higher effective speed on the AMD card is irrelevant given the enormous bus width advantage of the HBM3e implementation.

Compute resources are also vastly different. The RX 7650 GRE has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 ROPs, and 32 ray tracing cores. The H200 NVL has 16,896 shading units, 528 texture mapping units, 24 ROPs, and 528 tensor cores. The H200 NVL has over eight times the shading units and over four times the texture mapping units. The ROP count is lower on the H200 NVL (24 versus 64), which aligns with its server orientation where pixel fill rates are less critical.

Clock speeds show an interesting inversion. The RX 7650 GRE has a base clock of 1720 MHz and a boost clock of 2695 MHz, with a game clock of 2350 MHz. The H200 NVL has a base clock of 1365 MHz and a boost clock of 1785 MHz. The AMD card runs at higher clocks, but the H200 NVL compensates with far more compute units. The FP32 throughput reflects this: the RX 7650 GRE delivers 22.08 TFLOPS, while the H200 NVL delivers 60.32 TFLOPS. The FP16 numbers are even more divergent: the RX 7650 GRE delivers 22.08 TFLOPS (1:1 ratio), while the H200 NVL delivers 120.6 TFLOPS (2:1 ratio). The H200 NVL’s FP16 advantage is roughly 5.5 times.

The pixel and texture rates also differ. The RX 7650 GRE outputs 172.5 GPixel/s and 345.0 GTexel/s. The H200 NVL outputs 42.84 GPixel/s and 942.5 GTexel/s. The AMD card has a higher pixel fill rate, which is typical for a gaming-focused GPU. The H200 NVL has a higher texture rate, reflecting its compute-heavy design.

Power and interface specifications align with their roles. The RX 7650 GRE has a TDP of 170 W, uses a single 8-pin power connector, and suggests a 450 W PSU. It connects via PCIe 4.0 x8 and includes display outputs: one HDMI 2.1a and three DisplayPort 2.1. The H200 NVL has a TDP of 600 W, uses an 8-pin EPS connector, suggests a 1000 W PSU, and connects via PCIe 5.0 x16. It has no display outputs, reinforcing its server-only positioning. The H200 NVL is longer at 267 mm versus 204 mm for the RX 7650 GRE, though both are dual-slot cards.

API support also diverges. The RX 7650 GRE supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The H200 NVL has no DirectX, OpenGL, or Vulkan support listed; its APIs are marked as N/A. This confirms that the H200 NVL is not designed for traditional graphics rendering but for compute workloads accessed through CUDA or other server-side frameworks.

The release dates show the H200 NVL came first: November 17, 2024, versus February 6, 2025, for the RX 7650 GRE. The production status for both is Active. The RX 7650 GRE has a launch MSRP of 279 USD; the H200 NVL has no recorded launch MSRP.

Where Each One Wins

The RX 7650 GRE wins in scenarios that require traditional graphics rendering, display output, and consumer API support. It has a higher pixel rate (172.5 GPixel/s versus 42.84 GPixel/s), making it better suited for rasterization-heavy workloads. It supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, all absent from the H200 NVL. Its display outputs allow direct connection to monitors, which the H200 NVL cannot do. The AMD card also draws far less power at 170 W versus 600 W, making it feasible for standard desktop systems with a 450 W PSU suggestion.

The H200 NVL wins decisively in compute throughput, memory bandwidth, and capacity. Its OpenCL score of 334,891 versus 83,109 demonstrates overwhelming superiority in general-purpose compute. Its 60.32 TFLOPS FP32 and 120.6 TFLOPS FP16 far exceed the AMD card’s 22.08 TFLOPS in both precisions. The 141 GB of HBM3e memory with 4.89 TB/s bandwidth enables working with datasets that would be impossible to fit in the RX 7650 GRE’s 8 GB GDDR6 pool. The 528 tensor cores provide dedicated hardware for AI and machine learning operations, which the RX 7650 GRE lacks entirely.

The H200 NVL also wins in raw transistor count and density. With 80,000 million transistors on a 5 nm process, it represents a much larger and more sophisticated chip. Its PCIe 5.0 x16 interface doubles the bandwidth of the RX 7650 GRE’s PCIe 4.0 x8 connection. For server environments where data transfer to and from the GPU is critical, this matters.

The RX 7650 GRE wins in clock speed. Its boost clock of 2695 MHz and game clock of 2350 MHz are significantly higher than the H200 NVL’s 1785 MHz boost. Higher clocks benefit latency-sensitive workloads that cannot fully utilize massive parallelism. The AMD card also wins in ROP count (64 versus 24), which aids in pixel-heavy rendering tasks.

The percentile rankings summarize the split. The RX 7650 GRE sits in the 83rd percentile among all GPUs, meaning it outperforms about 83% of the database. The H200 NVL sits in the 100th percentile, outperforming every other recorded GPU. This is not a close contest; the H200 NVL is in a different performance tier entirely.
