Architecture Differences

The NVIDIA P102-100 and AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE represent two fundamentally different design philosophies from different eras. The P102-100 is built on the Pascal architecture using the GP102 chip, a design from the mining-focused GPU generation. It is fabricated on a 16 nm process at TSMC, with a large die measuring 471 mm². The chip contains 11,800 million transistors, resulting in a transistor density of 25.1 million per square millimeter.

The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE belongs to the Radeon RX 7000 series, built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture with the Navi 33 chip, codenamed Hotpink Bonefish. This is a much more modern design, manufactured on a 6 nm process also at TSMC. The die is significantly smaller at 204 mm², yet it packs 13,300 million transistors, yielding a density of 65.2 million per square millimeter. The density advantage is clear: the RDNA 3.0 part fits more transistors into less than half the silicon area.

The compute resource allocation differs substantially. The NVIDIA card has 3,200 shading units, 200 texture mapping units, and 80 raster operation pipelines. The AMD card has fewer of each: 2,048 shading units, 128 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. However, the AMD card includes 32 ray tracing cores, a feature entirely absent from the Pascal-based NVIDIA part. Neither card has tensor cores.

The FP32 compute figures show a major inversion. The AMD card delivers 22.08 TFLOPS, more than double the NVIDIA card's 10.77 TFLOPS. The FP16 situation is even more lopsided in favor of AMD: the RX 7650 GRE achieves 22.08 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio with FP32, while the P102-100 manages only 168.3 GFLOPS at a 1:64 ratio, meaning its FP16 throughput is severely constrained.

Memory configurations also reflect different design goals. The NVIDIA card uses 5 GB of GDDR5X on a 320-bit bus, providing 440.3 GB/s of bandwidth. The AMD card has 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, delivering 288.0 GB/s. The P102-100 has the bandwidth advantage, but the RX 7650 GRE has more capacity.

The interface and output situation is starkly different. The P102-100 is a mining-oriented product with no display outputs at all and a PCIe 1.0 x4 interface. The RX 7650 GRE is a consumer card with 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, using a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface. The power delivery differs as well: the NVIDIA card requires 2x 8-pin connectors and a 600 W suggested PSU with a 250 W TDP, while the AMD card needs only 1x 8-pin, a 450 W PSU, and draws 170 W.

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data shows a single head-to-head benchmark, but the broader specification and scoring context allows for a clear use-case split.

The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE wins in raw compute throughput and modern feature support. Its FP32 output of 22.08 TFLOPS is more than double the NVIDIA card's 10.77 TFLOPS. The inclusion of 32 ray tracing cores gives it hardware acceleration for ray-traced workloads, which the Pascal card cannot match. The RDNA 3.0 architecture also brings DirectX 12 Ultimate support, enabling features like mesh shaders and variable rate shading that the older DirectX 12_1 implementation on the P102-100 cannot handle. For general compute tasks measured by OpenCL, the AMD card is decisively ahead, scoring 83,109 versus 49,602.

The NVIDIA P102-100 wins in memory bandwidth and raw rasterization throughput in certain respects. Its 440.3 GB/s bandwidth is 52.9% higher than the AMD card's 288.0 GB/s, which matters for bandwidth-sensitive workloads. The 80 ROPs and 320-bit memory bus are configured for high fill rates, and the pixel rate of 134.6 GPixel/s, while lower than the AMD card's 172.5 GPixel/s, is delivered with fewer shading units. The NVIDIA card also has a higher average benchmark score overall (58,528 versus 42,723), driven by its strong Geekbench Vulkan result of 67,454. This suggests the Pascal architecture still performs well in certain API workloads despite its age.

The AMD card is also the more practical choice for system integration. It is shorter at 204 mm versus 267 mm, uses a single 8-pin connector instead of two, requires a 450 W PSU instead of 600 W, and consumes 170 W versus 250 W. It also has display outputs, making it usable as a general-purpose graphics card, whereas the P102-100 is a compute-only board.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains one direct comparison between these two GPUs, and it is decisive in favor of the AMD card.

In the Geekbench OpenCL test, the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE scores 83,109, while the NVIDIA P102-100 scores 49,602. This represents a 40.3% advantage for the AMD card. The magnitude of this gap is significant: the AMD card delivers roughly 67.5% more score in absolute terms. This aligns with the compute specification differences, where the RX 7650 GRE has more than double the FP32 throughput (22.08 TFLOPS versus 10.77 TFLOPS) and a 1:1 FP16 ratio that the Pascal card cannot approach.

The NVIDIA card's best recorded result is its Geekbench Vulkan score of 67,454, which is not part of the head-to-head set but contributes to its higher average benchmark score of 58,528. This Vulkan strength is notable, as it exceeds the OpenCL score by 36%, suggesting the Pascal architecture has particular strengths in that API. However, the overall average score tells a different story when comparing across the full database: the P102-100 sits at the 88th percentile, while the RX 7650 GRE is at the 83rd percentile. This is because the NVIDIA card's average is buoyed by its Vulkan result, while the AMD card's average is dragged down by the absence of a comparable Vulkan score in its record.

The head-to-head result indicates that in compute-heavy OpenCL workloads, the RDNA 3.0 card is clearly superior. The 40.3% delta is a substantial margin that would be noticeable in any compute application. The AMD card also has the advantage of 8 GB of memory versus 5 GB, which provides more headroom for large datasets.

For the NVIDIA card, its nearest rival comparisons show it is virtually tied with the AMD Radeon PRO V710 (0.2% lower score) and the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT (0.2% higher score). This places it in a performance class where small deltas separate cards. The AMD RX 7650 GRE, by contrast, sits within 1.3% of several NVIDIA professional and mobile parts, including the RTX 4070 SUPER and the RTX 5050 Mobile. The data suggests the two cards occupy different performance tiers overall, with the NVIDIA card having a higher average score but the AMD card winning the compute benchmark decisively.
