Radeon RX 480 vs FirePro W7100 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Radeon RX 480 beats the FirePro W7100 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 480 has a slightly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that they both have the same amount of memory at 8 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, both the Radeon RX 480 and the FirePro W7100 have an identical TDP. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon RX 480 is faster than the FirePro W7100.
