Specification Differences

The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE uses the Navi 33 chip with an RDNA 3.0 architecture, while the NVIDIA RTX 5000 Mobile Ada Generation uses the AD103 chip with an Ada Lovelace architecture. The process nodes differ: AMD uses a 6 nm process, and NVIDIA uses a 5 nm process, both fabricated by TSMC. Transistor counts diverge significantly, with the NVIDIA part housing 45,900 million transistors on a 379 mm² die, while the AMD part contains 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die. Transistor density also differs, with the NVIDIA part at 121.1 million transistors per mm² and the AMD part at 65.2 million per mm².

Memory configurations are notably different. The AMD card has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The NVIDIA card has 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 576.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The clock speeds also differ: the AMD part has a base clock of 1720 MHz, a boost clock of 2695 MHz, and a game clock of 2350 MHz, while the NVIDIA part has a base clock of 1425 MHz and a boost clock of 2115 MHz. The memory clock is identical at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective speed.

The compute unit counts are vastly different. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 render output units, and 32 ray tracing cores, with no tensor cores. The NVIDIA RTX 5000 Mobile Ada Generation has 9728 shading units, 304 texture mapping units, 112 render output units, 76 ray tracing cores, and 304 tensor cores. The resulting pixel rate for the AMD card is 172.5 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 345.0 GTexel/s, while the NVIDIA card achieves 236.9 GPixel/s and 643.0 GTexel/s. The FP32 and FP16 throughput for the AMD card is 22.08 TFLOPS, while the NVIDIA card reaches 41.15 TFLOPS for both.

Power and physical specifications differ as well. The AMD card has a TDP of 170 W, uses a dual-slot design, requires a single 8-pin power connector, and suggests a 450 W power supply. The NVIDIA card has a TDP of 120 W, uses an integrated graphics processor (IGP) form factor, requires no power connectors, and has no suggested power supply listed. The bus interface differs: the AMD card uses PCIe 4.0 x8, while the NVIDIA card uses PCIe 4.0 x16. The AMD card has a length of 204 mm (8 inches) and a height of 115 mm (4.5 inches), while the NVIDIA card has no listed dimensions. Display outputs also differ: the AMD card provides 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1, while the NVIDIA card lists “Portable Device Dependent” outputs.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE belongs to the Radeon RX 7000 series and uses the RDNA 3.0 architecture with the codename Hotpink Bonefish. It is part of the Navi III generation, with a predecessor in Navi II and a successor in Navi IV. The NVIDIA RTX 5000 Mobile Ada Generation belongs to the GeForce 50-series and uses the Ada Lovelace architecture with the AD103 chip. Its generation is listed as Ada-MW, with a predecessor in Ampere-MW and a successor in Blackwell-MW.

The AMD card is built on a 6 nm process at TSMC, with a die size of 204 mm² and a transistor count of 13,300 million. The NVIDIA card uses a 5 nm process at TSMC, with a die size of 379 mm² and a transistor count of 45,900 million. The transistor density is 65.2 million per mm² for the AMD part and 121.1 million per mm² for the NVIDIA part. Both cards support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

The AMD card has 32 ray tracing cores and no tensor cores, reflecting an RDNA 3.0 design that handles ray tracing through dedicated units but lacks dedicated AI acceleration hardware. The NVIDIA card has 76 ray tracing cores and 304 tensor cores, which indicates a much larger investment in specialized hardware for both ray tracing and AI-driven features. The NVIDIA part’s tensor cores are a key architectural differentiator, enabling features that the AMD card cannot support at the hardware level.

The NVIDIA card’s shader array is substantially larger: 9728 shading units versus 2048 for the AMD card, a 4.75x difference. Similarly, the NVIDIA card has 304 texture mapping units versus 128, and 112 render output units versus 64. The FP32 throughput of 41.15 TFLOPS for the NVIDIA card is nearly double the 22.08 TFLOPS of the AMD card. The NVIDIA card also has a higher pixel rate (236.9 GPixel/s versus 172.5 GPixel/s) and a higher texture rate (643.0 GTexel/s versus 345.0 GTexel/s).

The memory architecture also reflects a different design philosophy. The AMD card uses 8 GB on a 128-bit bus, while the NVIDIA card uses 16 GB on a 256-bit bus, doubling both capacity and bus width. The resulting bandwidth is 288.0 GB/s for the AMD card and 576.0 GB/s for the NVIDIA card. The NVIDIA card’s memory subsystem is better suited for large datasets and high-resolution textures, while the AMD card’s smaller memory allocation is more typical of a mainstream desktop GPU.

The power envelope favors the NVIDIA card in terms of efficiency, with a 120 W TDP versus 170 W for the AMD card, despite the NVIDIA part having nearly double the transistor count and compute throughput. The NVIDIA card’s IGP form factor and lack of power connectors indicate it is designed for mobile or integrated use, whereas the AMD card is a dual-slot desktop part requiring an 8-pin connector. The release dates differ by nearly two years: the NVIDIA RTX 5000 Mobile Ada Generation launched on 2023-03-20, and the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE launched on 2025-02-06. The AMD card has a launch MSRP of 279 USD, while the NVIDIA card has no listed launch MSRP.

The architecture differences explain the benchmark results. The NVIDIA part’s larger shader count and higher clock-independent throughput give it a clear edge in the Steel Nomad DX12 test, where it leads by 35%. However, the database’s average score and percentile ranking indicate that the AMD part performs far better in the broader set of workloads captured by the database, despite having fewer shading units and lower raw compute figures. The reason for this discrepancy may lie in driver optimization, workload characteristics, or the specific tests included in the average score, but the recorded data clearly separates the two products: the AMD card is an upper-midrange desktop GPU, and the NVIDIA card is a mobile-focused part with high compute potential but lower overall benchmark standing.
