AMD Radeon 8040S vs Lisuan Tech LX MAX Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data places these two devices in entirely different performance classes. The AMD Radeon 8040S, an integrated graphics processor on the Strix Halo chip, achieves a Passmark G3D score of 10578 and an average benchmark score of 2440, placing it at the 17th percentile of all GPUs. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX, a discrete dual-slot card with 12 GB of GDDR6 memory, reaches the 50th percentile of all GPUs, though its benchmark scores are not yet recorded in the database. The Radeon 8040S is closest in average score to the NVIDIA GeForce 710M (2433, 0.3% ahead), the Intel HD Graphics 610 (2425, 0.6% ahead), and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 710M (2422, 0.7% ahead), while sitting 1.1% behind the AMD Radeon RX 7400 (2467). The Lisuan Tech LX MAX has no nearest rivals listed, which indicates a lack of comparable data points. The verdict from the database is straightforward: the AMD Radeon 8040S suits systems requiring an integrated solution with modest graphical output, while the Lisuan Tech LX MAX targets users who need dedicated memory, higher throughput, and a much larger power envelope. The 17th percentile ranking for the Radeon 8040S signals entry-level positioning, while the 50th percentile for the Lisuan Tech LX MAX suggests mid-range placement, but the absence of benchmark scores for the latter prevents direct numerical comparison.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for these two devices, and the win counts for each are zero. However, the recorded individual benchmarks for the AMD Radeon 8040S provide a partial picture of its performance profile. Its Passmark scores are 48 for DirectX 10, 80 for DirectX 11, 47 for DirectX 12, and 134 for DirectX 9. The G2D score is 1052, the G3D score is 10578, and the GPU compute score is 5138. The average benchmark score is 2440. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX has no benchmark scores recorded, so no direct numerical comparison is possible. The nearest rival data for the Radeon 8040S shows how tightly grouped its average score is against older integrated and entry-level discrete parts: it sits 0.3% above the NVIDIA GeForce 710M, 0.6% above the Intel HD Graphics 610, 0.7% above the NVIDIA GeForce GT 710M, and 1.1% below the AMD Radeon RX 7400. That grouping indicates the Radeon 8040S occupies a narrow performance band where single percentage points separate it from its closest competitors. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX, by contrast, has no rival comparisons, leaving its relative standing undefined beyond its 50th percentile placement. The FP32 throughput difference is substantial, with the Lisuan Tech LX MAX delivering 24.58 TFLOPS against 5.734 TFLOPS for the Radeon 8040S, a ratio of roughly 4.3 to 1. The texture rate difference is similar, with 384.0 GTexel/s against 179.2 GTexel/s, and the pixel rate difference is 192.0 GPixel/s against 89.60 GPixel/s. Memory bandwidth separates them by an even wider margin, with 432.0 GB/s for the Lisuan Tech LX MAX versus system dependent bandwidth for the Radeon 8040S. The Radeon 8040S does hold advantages in process node (4 nm versus 6 nm), power consumption (55 W versus 225 W), and bus interface generation (PCIe 5.0 versus PCIe 4.0). It also supports Vulkan 1.4, one revision newer than the Lisuan Tech LX MAX.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon 8040S wins in efficiency and integration. Its 55 W TDP requires no power connectors, making it suitable for portable devices where space and power are constrained. The 4 nm process node gives it a manufacturing advantage over the 6 nm Lisuan Tech LX MAX. Its PCIe 5.0 x16 interface is one generation newer than the PCIe 4.0 x16 interface on the Lisuan Tech LX MAX. The Radeon 8040S also supports Vulkan 1.4, while the Lisuan Tech LX MAX supports Vulkan 1.3. Its 16 ray tracing cores provide hardware ray tracing capability, which the Lisuan Tech LX MAX lacks entirely. The Radeon 8040S has recorded benchmark scores across DirectX 9, 10, 11, and 12, with its strongest legacy result in DirectX 9 at 134. Its G3D score of 10578 and GPU compute score of 5138 give the database a concrete performance baseline. The 17th percentile placement indicates entry-level positioning, and the narrow gap to its nearest rivals, all within 1.1%, shows it competes in a tightly packed segment.

The Lisuan Tech LX MAX wins in raw throughput and dedicated resources. Its 24.58 TFLOPS FP32 output is over four times the 5.734 TFLOPS of the Radeon 8040S. Its FP16 output of 49.15 TFLOPS is over eight times the 5.734 TFLOPS of the Radeon 8040S. The 432.0 GB/s memory bandwidth from 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192 bit bus stands against the system shared memory of the Radeon 8040S, whose bandwidth is system dependent. The 192 texture mapping units and 96 render output units double and triple the Radeon 8040S counts of 64 and 32 respectively. The 6144 shading units dwarf the 1024 in the Radeon 8040S. The 50th percentile placement puts the Lisuan Tech LX MAX in the middle of all GPUs, a full 33 percentile points above the Radeon 8040S. Its 225 W TDP and dual-slot design with four DisplayPort 1.4a outputs indicate a desktop-oriented card intended for sustained workloads. The 248 mm length and 118 mm height define a physical footprint that requires a standard desktop chassis. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX also uses the newer 7G100 generation and TrueGPU architecture, though the Radeon 8040S uses the newer 4 nm process. For workloads that depend on pixel throughput, the Lisuan Tech LX MAX delivers 192.0 GPixel/s against 89.60 GPixel/s. For texture-heavy tasks, it delivers 384.0 GTexel/s against 179.2 GTexel/s. The Radeon 8040S remains the only option for ray tracing, but the Lisuan Tech LX MAX dominates in every measured throughput category where data exists. The database shows two devices aimed at opposite ends of the mobile-to-desktop spectrum, with the integrated Radeon 8040S prioritizing low power and portability, and the discrete Lisuan Tech LX MAX prioritizing memory capacity, bandwidth, and compute throughput.
