AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE vs NVIDIA B200 SXM6 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE and the NVIDIA B200 SXM6. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and neither product records a win in direct comparison testing. This absence of overlapping test data reflects the fundamentally different positioning of the two accelerators within the database.

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE carries two recorded benchmark scores. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it records 5,424 points. Its Geekbench OpenCL result is 109,309 points. These results place the RX 9070 GRE at the 87th percentile among all GPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 57,367.

The NVIDIA B200 SXM6 has no recorded benchmark scores. Its percentile standing is 50th, and its average benchmark score is listed as 0. The absence of entries means the database cannot produce a comparative performance delta between the two units. Any numeric comparison of their compute output must rely on the architectural specification fields rather than measured test results.

The nearest rivals for the RX 9070 GRE provide context for its measured performance. The Intel Arc A580 averages 57,756 points, which is 0.7% above the RX 9070 GRE. The AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM averages 58,085 points, 1.2% higher. The Intel Arc A570M averages 58,239 points, 1.5% higher. The AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT averages 58,392 points, 1.8% higher. These deltas are all negative for the RX 9070 GRE, indicating that its average score trails each of these four rivals by a narrow margin.

The B200 SXM6 has no nearest rivals listed in the database. Its position at the 50th percentile with no benchmark data means it cannot be ranked against other accelerators using measured results. The database treats it as a distinct entry without comparative scoring.

Where Each One Wins

Based on the recorded data, the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE wins in every measurable benchmark category because it is the only unit in this pairing with benchmark scores. It holds wins in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 and Geekbench OpenCL by default, as the NVIDIA B200 SXM6 has no entries in either test. The RX 9070 GRE also claims the higher percentile ranking, 87th versus 50th, and the higher average benchmark score, 57,367 versus 0.

The NVIDIA B200 SXM6 wins in raw specification categories that relate to compute throughput. Its FP32 output is 69.34 TFLOPS compared to 34.28 TFLOPS for the RX 9070 GRE, doubling the AMD part. Its FP16 output is also 69.34 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio, matching its FP32 rate, while the RX 9070 GRE delivers 34.28 TFLOPS FP16 at a 1:1 ratio. The B200 SXM6 carries 592 tensor cores, a category where the RX 9070 GRE lists none. The B200 SXM6 also has a higher texture rate at 1,083.4 GTexel/s versus 535.7 GTexel/s, and more memory bandwidth at 8.19 TB/s versus 432.0 GB/s.

The B200 SXM6 has a higher transistor count of 208,000 million versus 53,900 million, and a larger die at 1,628 mm² versus 357 mm². It also has more shading units, 18,944 versus 3,072, and more TMUs, 592 versus 192. The RX 9070 GRE counters with a higher pixel rate of 267.8 GPixel/s versus 43.92 GPixel/s, and more ROPs, 96 versus 24.

Use-case interpretation follows from these splits. The RX 9070 GRE is designed for graphics output and rasterization-heavy workloads, given its display outputs, higher pixel rate, and ROP count. The B200 SXM6 targets compute-intensive server workloads, given its tensor core count, massive FP32 and FP16 throughput, and HBM3e memory configuration. The data supports no crossover in their intended roles.

Architecture Differences

The two accelerators come from different manufacturers and architectures. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE uses the Navi 48 chip built on RDNA 4.0 architecture, fabricated by TSMC on a 4 nm process. Its generation is Navi IV (RX 9000). The NVIDIA B200 SXM6 uses the GB100 chip built on Blackwell architecture, also fabricated by TSMC but on a 5 nm process. Its generation is Server Blackwell (Bxx).

The process node difference is narrow, 4 nm versus 5 nm, but the transistor density differs. The RX 9070 GRE achieves 151.0 million transistors per mm², while the B200 SXM6 achieves 127.8 million per mm². The B200 SXM6 compensates with a much larger die, 1,628 mm² versus 357 mm², allowing its 208,000 million transistor count to exceed the RX 9070 GRE's 53,900 million.

Memory architecture is a major differentiator. The RX 9070 GRE uses 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus with 432.0 GB/s bandwidth. The B200 SXM6 uses 180 GB of HBM3e on an 8192-bit bus with 8.19 TB/s bandwidth. The memory clock rates also differ: the RX 9070 GRE runs at 2,250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective, while the B200 SXM6 runs at 2,000 MHz with 8 Gbps effective.

Compute unit composition differs substantially. The RX 9070 GRE has 3,072 shading units, 192 TMUs, 96 ROPs, and 48 RT cores. It lists no tensor cores. The B200 SXM6 has 18,944 shading units, 592 TMUs, 24 ROPs, and 592 tensor cores. It lists no RT cores. The RX 9070 GRE supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The B200 SXM6 lists N/A for DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan, indicating no graphics API support in the database.

The RX 9070 GRE uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 bus interface and includes display outputs: 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1a. The B200 SXM6 uses a PCIe 6.0 x16 bus interface and has no display outputs. Power requirements also diverge. The RX 9070 GRE has a TDP of 220 W with a suggested PSU of 550 W and two 8-pin power connectors. The B200 SXM6 has a TDP of 1,000 W with a suggested PSU of 1,400 W and no listed power connectors. The B200 SXM6 mounts as an SXM Module, while the RX 9070 GRE is a dual-slot card.

Release timing differs by roughly six months. The B200 SXM6 was released on 2024-10-31, while the RX 9070 GRE followed on 2025-05-07. The B200 SXM6 has a successor, Server Rubin, while the RX 9070 GRE lists none. The B200 SXM6's predecessor is Server Hopper, and the RX 9070 GRE's predecessor is Navi III.
