Technical Analysis

Detailed breakdown of Radeon Pro V520 MxGPU specifications and capabilities.

Graphics Performance

The Radeon Pro V520 MxGPU scores 12,258 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Mid-Range tier as a Legacy generation graphics card. It is built on the GCN 5.0 (2017−2020) architecture (codename: Vega 10), manufactured on a 14 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 3584 ×2 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 224 ×2 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 64 ×2 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 10.75 TFLOPS ×2 — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1500 MHz from a base of 1000 MHz.
