Radeon RX 6500 XT vs FirePro W7100 specs and performance

For gaming, the Radeon RX 6500 XT graphics card is better than the FirePro W7100 in our tests.

The Radeon RX 6500 XT has a significantly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the FirePro W7100 has significantly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 4 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the Radeon RX 6500 XT has a slightly lower TDP at 107 W when compared to the FirePro W7100 at 150 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon RX 6500 XT is better than the FirePro W7100.
