AMD Radeon Pro WX 4150 Mobile

AMD Radeon Pro WX 4150 Mobile is a 14 nm GCN 4.0 part built on the Baffin chip, targeting professional mobile workloads. The data places it at the 50th percentile among all GPUs, a median position that signals balanced capability for its intended segment rather than class-leading performance. With a 4 GB GDDR5 frame buffer, 896 shading units, and 1.887 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput, this is a chip engineered for reliability and moderate compute, not for pushing extreme frame rates.

Benchmark Performance

Benchmark results indicate the AMD Radeon Pro WX 4150 Mobile delivers a peak FP32 performance of 1.887 TFLOPS, with FP16 at the same 1.887 TFLOPS due to a 1:1 ratio. This symmetric compute profile means there is no half-precision advantage for workloads that might benefit from reduced precision, a notable detail for AI-adjacent tasks. The pixel rate stands at 16.85 GPixel/s, while texture rate reaches 58.97 GTexel/s, derived from 16 ROPs and 56 TMUs respectively. These raw numbers position the GPU as a competent 1080p performer for professional applications, but the 50th percentile ranking against all GPUs confirms it sits squarely in the middle of the performance spectrum.

The absence of nearestRival data in the fact pack prevents direct percentage comparisons, but the percentile itself is informative. A 50th percentile score means half of all GPUs in the database are faster and half are slower, which typically translates to playable frame rates at medium settings in 1080p gaming and reliable acceleration for CAD or 3D modeling at modest resolutions. The 1.887 TFLOPS figure is the key metric here — it is roughly half of what a high-end desktop part from the same era would offer, but for a 50 W mobile chip, that compute density is respectable. The 1:1 FP16 ratio further suggests the architecture prioritizes consistent throughput across precision levels, which aligns with professional OpenGL and Vulkan workloads that rarely exploit FP16.

Power and Cooling

The thermal design power is 50 W, a modest figure that reflects the Baffin chip’s efficiency on a 14 nm GlobalFoundries process. This low TDP means the card can be cooled by a capable air cooler within a mobile chassis, and it requires no auxiliary power connectors — the fact pack lists power connectors as "None." For system builders, this implies the card draws all its power from the MXM slot, simplifying integration into portable workstations. No suggested PSU is provided in the data, but given the 50 W envelope, a standard laptop power brick is sufficient; desktop PSU recommendations are irrelevant here since this is an MXM Module form factor.

The 14 nm process node and 3,000 million transistors on a 123 mm² die yield a transistor density of 24.4M per mm². This is a mature manufacturing approach, not cutting-edge, which contributes to the predictable 50 W power draw. The absence of a suggested PSU in the fact pack is notable — it implies the card is not intended for DIY desktop builds, and the "Portable Device Dependent" display output listing reinforces that this is an OEM-only component. Cooling solutions will vary by laptop model, but the 50 W TDP allows for slim thermal solutions, keeping chassis thickness manageable.

Who Should Consider It

Given the 50th percentile standing and 1.887 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, the Radeon Pro WX 4150 Mobile is best suited for users who need certified professional graphics in a mobile form factor. At 1080p resolution, the data suggests it can handle moderate settings in modern games, but it is not a high-refresh-rate or 1440p solution. The 4 GB VRAM and 96.00 GB/s bandwidth will be the limiting factor at higher resolutions — expect texture-heavy scenes to stutter if the buffer is exceeded. For professional workloads like SolidWorks or AutoCAD, the 896 shading units and GCN 4.0 architecture provide solid OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.3 support, making it a viable choice for engineers who prioritize driver stability over raw FPS.

Users targeting 1440p or 4K should look elsewhere, as the 16.85 GPixel/s fill rate and 96.00 GB/s memory bandwidth are insufficient for those pixel densities. Conversely, users running legacy applications that rely on DirectX 12 (12_0) will find full feature support, and the 1.887 TFLOPS FP32 performance is adequate for entry-level machine learning inference, though training is out of reach. The end-of-life production status means this is a legacy purchase, so buyers should only consider it if they need a replacement MXM module for an existing workstation.

How It Compares

The fact pack lists no nearestRivals, which means the comparison must be drawn from the percentile data alone. Against the broader GPU landscape, the 50th percentile placement puts it in the same tier as mid-range desktop cards from several generations ago, but those comparisons lack specific delta percentages. What can be stated is that the Radeon Pro WX 4150 Mobile sits below any GPU that exceeds the 50th percentile, and above those below it, but without rival names or scores, further granularity is impossible. The lack of benchmark scores in the fact pack (avgBenchmarkScore is 0) further limits quantitative comparison — the data simply does not include run results.

What the data does show is that this GPU is not a performance leader. Its 1.887 TFLOPS is roughly a third of what a high-end desktop GPU from 2017 would offer, but the 50 W TDP and MXM form factor are the trade-offs for mobility. For users coming from the predecessor, FirePro Mobile, this card represents an architectural upgrade to GCN 4.0 and a process shrink to 14 nm, but the lack of a successor in the fact pack leaves its lineage incomplete.

Ray Tracing and Feature Set

The Radeon Pro WX 4150 Mobile has no ray tracing cores and no tensor cores, as indicated by the null values in the fact pack. This is expected for a 2017-era GCN 4.0 part, as hardware ray tracing was not yet a consumer feature. Instead, the card relies on traditional rasterization, with 896 shading units handling all pixel and vertex work. The API support is comprehensive for its era: DirectX 12 (12_0), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3. The Vulkan 1.3 support is particularly noteworthy, as it ensures compatibility with modern Linux and Windows applications that have moved to this API, though performance will be limited by the underlying hardware.

The 1:1 FP16 ratio means the card does not offer the 2:1 FP16 throughput found on some competing architectures, so any compute workload that could benefit from half-precision will not see a speedup. The 50th percentile ranking reflects this — it is a jack-of-all-trades chip, not a specialized compute accelerator. For ray tracing, users would need to rely on software implementations, which will be painfully slow given the 1.887 TFLOPS throughput, so this is not a card for DXR or Vulkan RT workloads.

Memory Subsystem

The memory subsystem consists of 4 GB of GDDR5 memory, running at 1500 MHz with 6 Gbps effective data rate. The 128-bit bus width yields a total bandwidth of 96.00 GB/s. This is a modest configuration by modern standards, but for a 50 W mobile GPU, it is adequate for 1080p workloads. The 96.00 GB/s bandwidth means that at 1440p or higher, texture streaming and frame buffer reads will become bottlenecks, especially in scenes with high-resolution textures or heavy post-processing effects. The 4 GB capacity is sufficient for most professional applications, but larger datasets or multi-display setups may exceed it.

The 16.85 GPixel/s pixel rate and 58.97 GTexel/s texture rate are direct consequences of the 16 ROPs and 56 TMUs. These figures suggest the card can handle 1080p gaming at medium settings, but the memory bandwidth will cap performance in memory-intensive scenarios. For compute workloads, the 1.887 TFLOPS FP32 throughput is the primary limiter, while the 96.00 GB/s bandwidth supports data movement adequately for its class. The GDDR5 type and 128-bit bus are typical for this segment, and the 6 Gbps effective speed is standard for 2017-era parts. Users requiring higher bandwidth would need to look at GPUs with wider buses, but within the 50 W envelope, this configuration is balanced.
