AMD Instinct MI350X vs AMD Radeon 8060S Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no shared benchmark results for the AMD Instinct MI350X and the AMD Radeon 8060S, so a direct score-for-score comparison is not possible. The Instinct MI350X has no recorded benchmark entries, while the Radeon 8060S has three completed tests. This absence of overlapping data means the comparison must rely on architectural specifications and the Radeon 8060S's recorded performance against its nearest rivals.

The Radeon 8060S delivers an average benchmark score of 55,757 across its three tests. Its strongest result comes from Geekbench OpenCL at 84,626, followed by Geekbench Vulkan at 80,483, and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 at 2,162. The average score places the Radeon 8060S at the 87th percentile of all GPUs in the database, a strong position for a mobile integrated graphics processor. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB, scores 55,698, which puts the 8060S just 0.1% ahead. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 scores 56,083, making the 8060S 0.6% slower. Against the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X at 54,828, the 8060S leads by 1.7%, and it sits 2.8% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 at 54,247.

The Instinct MI350X has no benchmark scores and therefore no percentile ranking beyond the neutral 50th percentile default assigned to unmeasured parts. Its average benchmark score is recorded as zero. This lack of data is not unusual for a compute accelerator with no display outputs and no graphics API support, as its intended workload does not involve the rasterization or ray tracing tests common in consumer GPU benchmarks.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Instinct MI350X wins in raw compute throughput. Its FP32 performance is 72.09 TFLOPS, and FP16 is identical at 72.09 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio. The Radeon 8060S delivers 14.85 TFLOPS in both FP32 and FP16, also at 1:1. The MI350X therefore provides 4.85 times the FP32 throughput of the 8060S. Texture rate tells a similar story: the MI350X reaches 2,252.8 GTexel/s versus 464.0 GTexel/s for the 8060S, a 4.86 times advantage. The MI350X also carries 16,384 shading units against 2,560 for the 8060S, and 1,024 texture mapping units versus 160.

Memory capacity and bandwidth heavily favor the Instinct MI350X. It has 288 GB of HBM3e on an 8192-bit bus, delivering 8.19 TB/s of bandwidth. The Radeon 8060S uses system shared memory with bandwidth described as system dependent, so no direct numeric comparison is possible. The MI350X's 8192-bit memory bus is the widest in the database for either part.

The Radeon 8060S wins in areas relevant to client and mobile use. It has a base clock of 1295 MHz and a boost clock of 2900 MHz, both higher than the MI350X's 1000 MHz base and 2200 MHz boost. Its pixel rate is 185.6 GPixel/s, while the MI350X is recorded at 0 MPixel/s. The 8060S includes 40 ray tracing cores and 64 ROPs; the MI350X has no ray tracing cores listed and zero ROPs. The 8060S supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The MI350X lists N/A for all three APIs. The 8060S also has a power draw of 55 W, versus 1000 W for the MI350X, and is an IGP with portable device dependent display outputs, while the MI350X is an OAM module with no outputs.

Architecture Differences

The two chips come from different AMD architecture families. The Instinct MI350X uses CDNA 4.0, built on a 3 nm process at TSMC with 185,000 million transistors on a 2380 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 77.7 million per square millimeter. The Radeon 8060S uses RDNA 3.5, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC with a 308 mm² die and unknown transistor count. The MI350X is part of the Instinct (MIx) generation, while the 8060S belongs to Navi Mobile (RX 8000M). The MI350X's predecessor is Radeon Instinct; the 8060S's predecessor is Polaris Mobile.

Memory architecture differs fundamentally. The MI350X uses dedicated HBM3e with 288 GB capacity and an 8192-bit interface. The 8060S shares system memory, with no dedicated VRAM. The MI350X uses a memory clock of 2000 MHz with 8 Gbps effective data rate. The 8060S has no independent memory clock, relying on system memory timing.

Compute resources diverge sharply. The MI350X has 16,384 shading units, 1,024 TMUs, and no ROPs or ray tracing cores. The 8060S has 2,560 shading units, 160 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 40 ray tracing cores. This reflects the MI350X's design for parallel compute workloads without graphics output, versus the 8060S's role as a graphics-capable integrated processor. The MI350X also uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface, as does the 8060S.

Power and physical specifications differ by design intent. The MI350X has a 1000 W TDP and requires a 1400 W suggested power supply, with no power connectors because it uses an OAM module slot. Its dimensions are 102 mm in length and 165 mm in width. The 8060S has a 55 W TDP, no suggested PSU, no power connectors, and is an IGP with no listed dimensions. The MI350X has no display outputs; the 8060S's display outputs are portable device dependent.

The Verdict

The AMD Instinct MI350X is a compute accelerator for server and datacenter workloads. The data shows 72.09 TFLOPS FP32, 288 GB of HBM3e, 8.19 TB/s memory bandwidth, and 16,384 shading units, all aimed at massive parallel processing. Its lack of display outputs, ROPs, ray tracing cores, and graphics API support confirms it is not designed for rendering or interactive graphics.

The AMD Radeon 8060S is a mobile integrated GPU for portable devices. Its 55 W TDP, 2,900 MHz boost clock, 40 ray tracing cores, and DirectX 12 Ultimate support indicate a focus on graphics rendering and gaming in thin-and-light systems. Its benchmark results show it performs within 0.6% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 and 0.1% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB, a strong showing for an IGP.

The choice depends on workload. The MI350X suits compute-heavy tasks such as AI training or scientific simulation where raw FP32 throughput and large memory capacity matter. The 8060S suits graphics and general-purpose mobile use where low power, ray tracing support, and display connectivity are required. The MI350X provides 4.85 times the FP32 throughput and 4.86 times the texture rate of the 8060S, but it cannot render a frame or drive a display. The 8060S can do both, at a fraction of the power draw.
