AMD Radeon Pro 570

The AMD Radeon Pro 570 is an end-of-life mobile workstation graphics solution built on the 14 nm GlobalFoundries process with the Ellesmere chip and GCN 4.0 architecture. It integrates 5,700 million transistors on a 232 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 24.6M per mm², and its benchmark data places it at the 77th percentile of all GPUs with an average score of 33258. The card's performance profile, derived from Geekbench Metal, OpenCL, and Vulkan tests, positions it as a tightly clustered competitor in a narrow performance band, where fractions of a percent separate it from its nearest rivals.

How It Compares

The NVIDIA RTX A5000 sits as the closest rival, with an average score of 33294 against the Radeon Pro 570's 33258. The delta is a negligible -0.1%, meaning the Radeon Pro 570 trails by an effectively imperceptible margin. This is a remarkable outcome given the RTX A5000's positioning in the workstation market; the data indicates that in synthetic aggregate benchmarks, the two are functionally equivalent, though the Radeon's lead in Vulkan-specific tests suggests workload-dependent behavior.

Against the NVIDIA GeForce MX550, the Radeon Pro 570 holds a slim 0.1% advantage, with the MX550 scoring 33209. This delta is within noise for most real-world applications, yet it demonstrates that the Radeon Pro 570's older GCN architecture remains competitive with a newer entry-level mobile part. The OpenCL score gap is more pronounced in the Radeon's favor, while the MX550 may close ground in Metal workloads.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Mobile trails by 0.3%, scoring 33170. This places the Radeon Pro 570 slightly ahead, but the RTX 3050 Mobile's architectural advantages in ray tracing and tensor operations are not reflected in these raw compute scores. The delta is small enough that thermal or driver variations could reverse the order in any given run.

The NVIDIA T550 Mobile also scores 33161, a 0.3% deficit relative to the Radeon Pro 570. This is the weakest rival in the group, yet the difference is so marginal that the Radeon's victory is purely statistical. The T550 Mobile's lower average score suggests it may be a more power-efficient design, but the benchmark data shows the Radeon Pro 570 edging it out in aggregate performance.

Memory Subsystem

The Radeon Pro 570 comes equipped with 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 217.0 GB/s. The effective memory speed is 6.8 Gbps, operating at a base memory clock of 1695 MHz. This configuration is adequate for 1080p and entry-level 1440p workloads, but the 4 GB capacity presents a limitation for high-resolution textures or multi-monitor setups with demanding assets. At higher resolutions, the bandwidth becomes a bottleneck in fill-rate-heavy scenes, though the pixel rate of 35.36 GPixel/s and texture rate of 123.8 GTexel/s help mitigate some pressure. The memory subsystem's 256-bit bus is a strength for its class, allowing the card to maintain throughput that rivals with narrower buses cannot match, even if their VRAM capacities are larger. For 4K gaming or professional rendering, the 4 GB frame buffer will likely overflow, causing texture swapping or reduced settings; the data suggests the card is best suited to resolutions where its bandwidth can be fully utilized without capacity spillover.

Ray Tracing and Feature Set

The Radeon Pro 570 does not include dedicated ray tracing cores or tensor cores, as these are absent from the fact pack. Its feature set relies on the GCN 4.0 architecture's compute units, with 1792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, and 32 raster output units. API support includes DirectX 12 (12_0), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3, covering modern graphics standards. The lack of hardware ray tracing means any ray-traced effects would rely on compute shaders, which is inefficient compared to dedicated hardware in rival NVIDIA parts like the RTX A5000 or RTX 3050 Mobile. However, the Vulkan score of 32110 indicates strong low-level API performance, which can benefit games and applications that leverage explicit multi-threading. The card's FP32 and FP16 performance are both 3.960 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio, meaning there is no half-precision acceleration advantage—a notable difference from newer architectures that double FP16 throughput. For professional workloads that use FP16, this parity simplifies coding but limits potential speedups. The display outputs are portable device dependent, reflecting its integrated form factor (IGP) with no dedicated power connectors.

Who Should Consider It

Benchmark results indicate the Radeon Pro 570 is suitable for users targeting 1080p gaming at high settings or 1440p at medium settings, given its 3.960 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 217.0 GB/s bandwidth. Its 77th percentile standing means it outperforms the majority of GPUs, but the 4 GB VRAM cap restricts usage at 4K or with ultra-high-resolution texture packs. Creative professionals working in OpenCL-accelerated applications will find the score of 27702 respectable, while Metal users on macOS see a stronger 39963, making it a viable option for Final Cut Pro or similar software. The Vulkan score of 32110 suggests good compatibility with modern game engines, but the absence of ray tracing hardware means enthusiasts seeking RTX features should look elsewhere. The card's 150 W TDP and lack of power connectors make it an integrated option for portable devices, appealing to users who need workstation-class compute without external power requirements. It is not a fit for those requiring large VRAM buffers or dedicated AI acceleration, as tensor cores are absent.

Benchmark Performance

The average benchmark score of 33258 consolidates three tests: Geekbench Metal at 39963, OpenCL at 27702, and Vulkan at 32110. The Metal score is the highest, indicating strong optimization for Apple's API, while OpenCL lags significantly—a 30.7% deficit compared to Metal. This disparity suggests that the card's performance is highly API-dependent, with OpenCL workloads leaving performance on the table. Relative to rivals, the Radeon Pro 570's -0.1% delta versus the RTX A5000 means it is essentially tied in average score, but the RTX A5000 likely excels in ray tracing where the Radeon has no hardware. The 0.1% lead over the MX550 and 0.3% leads over the RTX 3050 Mobile and T550 Mobile are all within a 0.4% band, making the entire group statistically indistinguishable in aggregate. However, the Radeon's Vulkan score of 32110 is notably higher than its OpenCL score, which could give it an edge in Vulkan-based titles or applications that favor that API. The FP32 throughput of 3.960 TFLOPS is exactly matched by FP16, so there is no throughput bonus for half-precision workloads, which may hurt in machine learning inference tasks that rely on FP16. The pixel rate of 35.36 GPixel/s and texture rate of 123.8 GTexel/s are moderate for the class, aligning with its 32 ROPs and 112 TMUs.

Power and Cooling

The Radeon Pro 570 has a TDP of 150 W, which is modest for its performance level, but its integrated form factor (IGP) means it draws power through the system rather than a dedicated connector. The fact pack lists no power connectors and no suggested PSU, indicating that the host device's power delivery handles the card. This makes it an unusual entry in the benchmark database, as most discrete GPUs require external power. The slot width is listed as IGP, confirming it is not a standalone expansion card. Cooling is dependent on the portable device's thermal solution, with no dimensions provided for a cooler. The 150 W TDP suggests that thin-and-light chassis may throttle under sustained load, but the data does not include thermal behavior. For users considering this card, the lack of a PSU recommendation means they must rely on the system's existing power budget, which could be a constraint in smaller designs. The end-of-life production status implies that new units are scarce, but its power efficiency remains a selling point for legacy systems.
