Analysis: AMD FirePro W600 vs Intel UHD Graphics P750

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The data shows a narrow but decisive victory for the Intel UHD Graphics P750 over the AMD FirePro W600 in the only benchmark recorded. In Geekbench OpenCL, the Intel part scores 6,554 against 6,223 for the AMD part, a delta of 5.3 percent. That is not a landslide, but it is a clean win across the board: the head-to-head table credits Intel with one win and AMD with zero.

Context matters here. The Intel P750 sits at the 38th percentile of all GPUs, while the FirePro W600 sits at the 36th. Both are firmly mid-pack parts, but the P750 edges ahead in raw compute throughput. The nearest-rival data reinforces this. The P750's closest competitor is the AMD Radeon HD 7730M, which scores 6,581 — just 0.4 percent ahead. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670M scores 6,513, 0.6 percent behind the Intel part. The AMD Radeon R7 M460 is 0.9 percent ahead, and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M is 0.9 percent behind. In other words, the P750 trades blows with a cluster of older mobile discrete GPUs, landing within one percent of all four.

The FirePro W600's nearest rivals tell a different story. Its closest match is the AMD Radeon HD 6950 at 6,210, which is 0.2 percent behind. Two NVIDIA parts — the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 and the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER — both score 6,270, 0.7 percent ahead of the AMD card. The NVIDIA Quadro K620 scores 6,282, 0.9 percent ahead. Notably, the FirePro W600 is being compared against modern high-end NVIDIA parts in its rival list, which suggests its score is being used as a low-water mark in those comparisons. The Intel part, by contrast, is compared against older mid-range mobile GPUs.

The 5.3 percent gap between the two contenders is consistent with their percentile rankings. A 38th-percentile part beating a 36th-percentile part by 5.3 percent is exactly what the distribution would predict. The real takeaway is not that the P750 is a powerhouse — it is not — but that the FirePro W600, despite being a dedicated workstation card with its own memory, cannot outrun Intel's integrated solution in this OpenCL workload.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel UHD Graphics P750 wins the only benchmark category recorded: Geekbench OpenCL. That is a compute-oriented test, and the P750's 665.6 GFLOPS of FP32 throughput gives it the edge over the FirePro W600's 768.0 GFLOPS on paper, yet the real-world score favors Intel. The P750 also has a higher pixel rate at 41.60 GPixel/s versus 12.00 GPixel/s, and a much higher texture rate at 83.20 GTexel/s versus 24.00 GTexel/s. Those are large margins — 3.5x in pixel fill and 3.5x in texture fill — and they explain why the OpenCL score leans Intel despite the AMD part's higher theoretical FP32.

The AMD FirePro W600 wins in areas the benchmark does not directly test. It has 2 GB of dedicated GDDR5 memory on a 128-bit bus, with 64.00 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel P750 uses system-shared memory with bandwidth described as "System Dependent" — no fixed number exists. For workloads that are sensitive to memory bandwidth and latency, the FirePro's dedicated frame buffer is a structural advantage that the Geekbench score does not capture. The AMD card also has double the shading units: 512 versus 256. That means the FirePro has more raw parallel lanes, even though its fill rates and OpenCL score come in lower.

The FirePro W600 also brings a full complement of display outputs: six mini-DisplayPort 1.2 connectors. The Intel P750's display outputs are "Motherboard Dependent," meaning they are whatever the motherboard provides. For multi-monitor workstation setups, the AMD card's six outputs are a concrete, quantifiable advantage. The P750 has no dedicated memory, no dedicated display outputs, and no standalone slot — it is an IGP. The FirePro is a single-slot card with a 168 mm length, 111 mm height, and 20 mm width.

The Verdict

The data points to one conclusion: if the workload is OpenCL compute as measured by Geekbench, the Intel UHD Graphics P750 wins. It scores 5.3 percent higher, sits at a higher percentile, and delivers dramatically higher fill rates. The P750 is not just marginally ahead in the benchmark; it is ahead by the only metric that matters in this comparison.

The AMD FirePro W600 is the choice only if the workload demands dedicated memory or multiple display outputs. The 2 GB GDDR5 frame buffer with 64.00 GB/s bandwidth is a real feature that the Intel IGP cannot match. The six mini-DisplayPort connectors are likewise unique to the AMD part. For a user running a six-monitor setup or a memory-bandwidth-bound application, the FirePro W600 is the only option of the two.

For general compute, the P750 is the better pick. For multi-display workstation duty, the FirePro W600 wins by default. The benchmark results show the Intel part ahead, and that is the headline. But the AMD card's dedicated memory and six display outputs are features that no benchmark score can negate.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The Intel UHD Graphics P750 is built on Rocket Lake, using Intel's Generation 12.1 architecture, and is fabricated on Intel's 14 nm+++ process node at Intel's own foundry. It is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) that connects via a Ring Bus interface. The AMD FirePro W600 uses the Cape Verde chip, built on GCN 1.0 architecture, and is fabricated on TSMC's 28 nm process. It is a discrete card that connects via PCIe 3.0 x16.

The transistor counts reflect the different classes. The FirePro W600 has 1,500 million transistors on a 123 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 12.2M per mm². The Intel P750's transistor count and die size are not listed in the data, so no direct comparison is possible there. The Intel part's process node is newer (14 nm+++ versus 28 nm), which partially explains how an IGP can keep pace with a discrete card in compute despite far fewer shading units.

The memory architectures are entirely different. The Intel P750 shares system memory, with no dedicated VRAM. The AMD FirePro W600 has 2 GB of GDDR5 on a 128-bit bus. The FirePro's memory clock is listed at 1000 MHz with 4 Gbps effective, while the Intel part's memory clock is "System Shared" with system-dependent bandwidth.

The API support differs slightly. Both support DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.6. The Intel P750 supports DirectX 12 (12_1), while the FirePro W600 supports DirectX 12 (11_1) — a lower feature level. For Vulkan, the Intel part supports version 1.4, while the AMD part supports 1.2.170. The Intel part also lists FP16 performance at 1,331.2 GFLOPS (2:1), while the AMD part has no FP16 figure listed.

Specification Differences

The two parts differ across nearly every specification category. The Intel UHD Graphics P750 has a base clock of 350 MHz and a boost clock of 1300 MHz. The AMD FirePro W600 lists no base or boost clock in the data. The Intel part has 256 shading units, 64 TMUs, and 32 ROPs. The AMD part has 512 shading units, 32 TMUs, and 16 ROPs. The Intel part has higher fill rates: 41.60 GPixel/s and 83.20 GTexel/s versus the AMD part's 12.00 GPixel/s and 24.00 GTexel/s.

FP32 performance is close but favors AMD: 768.0 GFLOPS for the FirePro W600 versus 665.6 GFLOPS for the Intel P750. The Intel part has FP16 capability at 1,331.2 GFLOPS; the AMD part has no FP16 figure. Thermal design power differs sharply: the Intel IGP is rated at 15 W, while the AMD card is rated at 75 W with a suggested PSU of 250 W. The AMD card has no power connectors, while the Intel IGP has none because it draws power through the motherboard.

The form factors are completely different. The Intel P750 is an IGP with no slot width, no dimensions, and motherboard-dependent display outputs. The AMD FirePro W600 is a single-slot card measuring 168 mm by 111 mm by 20 mm, with six mini-DisplayPort 1.2 outputs. The Intel part has no launch MSRP listed; the AMD part launched at 599 USD. The AMD card's production status is end-of-life, as is the Intel part's. The AMD part has a release date of 2012-06-12, while the Intel part's release date is not listed. The AMD FirePro W600's predecessor is FirePro Terascale, and its successor is Radeon Pro Polaris.
