Pros & cons summary

Performance score	7.46	15.20
Recency	13 April 2021	8 August 2022
Chip lithography	7 nm	6 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	45 Watt	50 Watt

Vega 7 has 11.1% lower power consumption.

Arc Pro A30M, on the other hand, has a 103.8% higher aggregate performance score, an age advantage of 1 year, and a 16.7% more advanced lithography process.

The Arc Pro A30M is our recommended choice as it beats the Radeon Vega 7 in performance tests.

Be aware that Radeon Vega 7 is a notebook graphics card while Arc Pro A30M is a mobile workstation one.
