AMD Radeon RX 7600M vs NVIDIA Quadro GP100 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only direct comparison available in the database is the Geekbench OpenCL test, and the result is decisive. The NVIDIA Quadro GP100 records a score of 87,445, while the AMD Radeon RX 7600M scores 63,775. That gives the Quadro GP100 a 37.1% lead in this single benchmark. In practical terms, the Quadro GP100 is roughly a third faster in raw compute workloads that stress OpenCL performance. The gap is substantial enough that the two cards are not competing in the same performance tier, even though both are designed for professional and mobile use cases.

The Quadro GP100 sits at the 93rd percentile among all GPUs in the database, while the Radeon RX 7600M sits at the 89th percentile. That percentile difference is modest compared to the raw score gap, which indicates that the field of GPUs around the RX 7600M is tightly packed, while the Quadro GP100 is closer to the upper edge of the distribution. The Quadro GP100’s nearest rivals include the NVIDIA RTX A4500 at 91,671 (4.6% higher), the RTX A4500 Mobile at 91,134 (4% higher), the AMD Radeon PRO W7600 at 87,108 (0.4% lower), and the NVIDIA CMP 40HX at 85,637 (2.1% lower). This places the Quadro GP100 in a competitive cluster where small margins separate adjacent cards. The Radeon RX 7600M’s nearest rivals are much closer: the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP at 63,830 (0.1% higher), the NVIDIA CMP 30HX at 63,842 (0.1% higher), the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 at 63,693 (0.1% lower), and the AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100 at 64,212 (0.7% higher). The RX 7600M is essentially tied with all four of its nearest rivals, which suggests that its performance level is a common plateau in the database, whereas the Quadro GP100 occupies a higher and slightly more isolated position.

The head-to-head delta of 37.1% is the single strongest comparison metric in the database for these two products. No other benchmark results are recorded for either card, so the OpenCL result is the only measurable basis for comparing them. It favors the Quadro GP100, and it does so by a wide margin.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural generations and are built for different physical contexts. The NVIDIA Quadro GP100 uses the Pascal architecture, manufactured by TSMC on a 16 nm process. Its chip, designated GP100, contains 15,300 million transistors on a die size of 610 mm². The transistor density is 25.1 million per square millimeter. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M uses the RDNA 3.0 architecture, also manufactured by TSMC but on a 6 nm process. Its Navi 33 chip contains 13,300 million transistors on a die size of 204 mm², giving a transistor density of 65.2 million per square millimeter. The RX 7600M is therefore built on a much denser process, packing fewer total transistors into a much smaller die. The Quadro GP100 uses an older process with a larger die and more transistors overall.

Memory configurations differ sharply. The Quadro GP100 has 16 GB of HBM2 memory on a 4096-bit bus, delivering 732.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The RX 7600M has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 256.0 GB/s. The Quadro GP100’s memory bandwidth is roughly three times higher, which is a direct consequence of the HBM2 design and the extremely wide bus. The RX 7600M’s GDDR6 memory operates at 2000 MHz with 16 Gbps effective speed, while the Quadro GP100’s HBM2 runs at 715 MHz with 1430 Mbps effective. The clock speeds are not directly comparable because of the different memory technologies.

Compute resources also differ. The Quadro GP100 has 3,584 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 96 ROPs. The RX 7600M has 1,792 shading units, 112 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. The Quadro GP100 has exactly double the shading units and TMUs of the RX 7600M, and 50% more ROPs. However, the RX 7600M has 28 ray tracing cores, while the Quadro GP100 has none. The Quadro GP100 also has no tensor cores, and the RX 7600M has none either, so neither card includes dedicated AI acceleration hardware in the database’s records.

Clock speeds favor the RX 7600M. Its base clock is 1500 MHz, its boost clock is 2410 MHz, and its game clock is 2070 MHz. The Quadro GP100’s base clock is 1304 MHz and its boost clock is 1443 MHz. The RX 7600M’s boost clock is nearly 1000 MHz higher than the Quadro GP100’s boost clock, which partially compensates for its lower shading unit count. In terms of raw throughput, the RX 7600M delivers 17.27 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, while the Quadro GP100 delivers 10.34 TFLOPS. The RX 7600M is 67% higher in FP32 throughput. FP16 performance shows the same pattern: the RX 7600M delivers 34.55 TFLOPS (2:1 ratio) versus the Quadro GP100’s 20.69 TFLOPS (2:1 ratio). The RX 7600M is clearly the faster card in raw shader math, despite losing the OpenCL benchmark by 37.1%. This is a notable divergence between theoretical compute and measured OpenCL performance.

Pixel and texture rates also differ. The RX 7600M has a pixel rate of 154.2 GPixel/s, slightly above the Quadro GP100’s 138.5 GPixel/s. The Quadro GP100 has a higher texture rate at 323.2 GTexel/s versus the RX 7600M’s 269.9 GTexel/s. So the Quadro GP100 wins on texture fill and memory bandwidth, while the RX 7600M wins on pixel fill and FP32/FP16 compute.

The power and physical profiles are very different. The Quadro GP100 has a TDP of 235 W, is dual-slot, requires a single 8-pin power connector, and needs a 550 W suggested PSU. The RX 7600M has a TDP of 90 W, is an IGP (integrated graphics package), requires no power connectors, and has no suggested PSU listed. The RX 7600M is designed for portable devices, with display outputs described as portable device dependent, while the Quadro GP100 has one DVI and four DisplayPort 1.4a outputs. The Quadro GP100 uses PCIe 3.0 x16, while the RX 7600M uses PCIe 4.0 x16. API support differs: the Quadro GP100 supports DirectX 12 (12_1), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3. The RX 7600M supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The RX 7600M is fully ray tracing capable at the API level with the 12_2 feature set, while the Quadro GP100 is limited to the 12_1 feature set, which does not include the full ray tracing requirements.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA Quadro GP100 wins in the only recorded benchmark, the Geekbench OpenCL test, by 37.1%. It also wins on memory capacity (16 GB versus 8 GB), memory bus width (4096-bit versus 128-bit), memory bandwidth (732.2 GB/s versus 256.0 GB/s), texture rate (323.2 GTexel/s versus 269.9 GTexel/s), shading units (3,584 versus 1,792), TMUs (224 versus 112), and ROPs (96 versus 64). It has a higher transistor count and a larger die, which suggests it is designed for compute-heavy workloads that benefit from massive memory bandwidth and high fill rates. The Quadro GP100 is also an end-of-life product from 2016, with a successor in Quadro Volta, so it represents an older but high-end desktop workstation card.

The AMD Radeon RX 7600M wins on architecture modernity, process node (6 nm versus 16 nm), transistor density (65.2M per mm² versus 25.1M per mm²), clock speeds (boost of 2410 MHz versus 1443 MHz), FP32 compute (17.27 TFLOPS versus 10.34 TFLOPS), FP16 compute (34.55 TFLOPS versus 20.69 TFLOPS), pixel rate (154.2 GPixel/s versus 138.5 GPixel/s), ray tracing support (28 RT cores versus none), API support (DirectX 12 Ultimate versus DirectX 12_1, Vulkan 1.4 versus 1.3), power efficiency (90 W versus 235 W), and physical design (IGP, no power connectors, portable device dependent outputs). It is an active product from 2023, with no successor listed, and it is built for mobile deployment in portable devices.

The use-case split is clear. For workloads that depend on OpenCL compute, memory bandwidth, and large frame buffers, the Quadro GP100 is the stronger choice. For workloads that depend on raw FP32 or FP16 shader throughput, higher clocks, ray tracing, and power efficiency in a mobile form factor, the RX 7600M is the better fit. The database records only one benchmark, so the compute advantage of the RX 7600M in TFLOPS is theoretical rather than measured in the recorded tests.

The Verdict

The data supports a single clear conclusion for raw OpenCL compute: the NVIDIA Quadro GP100 is the faster card, with a 37.1% lead in the only recorded benchmark. It also offers double the memory capacity, over twice the memory bandwidth, and a wider memory bus, which makes it the obvious choice for workloads that are bandwidth-limited or require large datasets in video memory. The Quadro GP100 is an older, end-of-life desktop workstation card, but it remains competitive at the 93rd percentile of all GPUs in the database.

The AMD Radeon RX 7600M is the better choice for a different set of priorities. It has a 90 W TDP, requires no external power connectors, and is designed as an IGP for portable devices. Its FP32 and FP16 compute throughput are significantly higher than the Quadro GP100’s, and it includes 28 ray tracing cores and support for DirectX 12 Ultimate and Vulkan 1.4. It is an active product from 2023, built on a modern 6 nm process with a much higher transistor density. The RX 7600M is the right pick for a mobile system where power efficiency, ray tracing support, and modern API compatibility matter more than raw OpenCL performance.

For anyone choosing between the two strictly on the basis of the recorded benchmark data, the Quadro GP100 wins the only head-to-head test. For anyone choosing based on feature set, power envelope, and intended deployment, the RX 7600M is the modern mobile option, while the Quadro GP100 is the legacy high-bandwidth workstation part. The database records no other benchmark results for either card, so any additional comparison beyond OpenCL must be inferred from the specification differences listed above.
