AMD Radeon 8050S vs NVIDIA B200 SXM6 Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data positions the AMD Radeon 8050S as a mobile integrated graphics processor with a measured average benchmark score of 62,108, placing it in the 89th percentile of all GPUs in the database. The NVIDIA B200 SXM6, by contrast, is a server accelerator with no recorded benchmark scores, a 50th percentile rank, and an average score of zero, which means it cannot be compared on the same performance metrics. The Radeon 8050S is the only one of the two with usable benchmark results, and those results indicate it is a capable graphics solution for portable devices, while the B200 SXM6 is a data-center compute module with no display outputs and no graphics API support.

The Radeon 8050S delivers 11.47 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, a 179.2 GPixel/s pixel rate, and 358.4 GTexel/s texture rate from a 55 W power envelope. The B200 SXM6 delivers 69.34 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, a 43.92 GPixel/s pixel rate, and 1,083.4 GTexel/s texture rate, but it consumes 1000 W and requires a 1400 W suggested power supply. The choice between them is not a matter of preference but of application domain: the Radeon 8050S is for portable devices with integrated graphics, while the B200 SXM6 is a server module with no display capability.

Where Each One Wins

The Radeon 8050S wins in the mobile integrated graphics segment. Its 55 W TDP allows it to operate without power connectors, and its display outputs are portable device dependent, meaning it is designed for laptops and similar devices. The benchmark data shows a Geekbench OpenCL score of 65,818 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 58,398, with an average benchmark score of 62,108. This places it in the 89th percentile of all GPUs in the database. The nearest rivals, all AMD products, are within a narrow band: the Radeon Pro W6600M has an average score of 61,896 with a 0.3% delta, the Radeon Pro Vega 56 has 63,693 with a -2.5% delta, the Radeon RX 7600M has 63,775 with a -2.6% delta, and the Radeon RX 9060 XT LP has 63,830 with a -2.7% delta. The Radeon 8050S sits in the middle of this group, slightly above the Pro W6600M but slightly below the other three.

The B200 SXM6 wins in raw compute throughput. Its FP32 performance of 69.34 TFLOPS is approximately six times the Radeon 8050S's 11.47 TFLOPS. Its texture rate of 1,083.4 GTexel/s is approximately three times the Radeon's 358.4 GTexel/s. Its memory bandwidth of 8.19 TB/s is not directly comparable since the Radeon's bandwidth is system dependent, but the B200's 180 GB of HBM3e memory on an 8192-bit bus is a server-class configuration. The B200 SXM6 has 592 tensor cores, which the Radeon does not have at all. The B200 SXM6 also has a much larger die at 1,628 mm² versus 308 mm², and far more transistors at 208,000 million versus unknown.

The Radeon 8050S wins in graphics API support. It supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, while the B200 SXM6 has N/A for all three. The Radeon 8050S has 32 ray tracing cores, while the B200 has none listed. The Radeon 8050S also has a higher pixel rate at 179.2 GPixel/s versus 43.92 GPixel/s, indicating it is optimized for rasterization output, while the B200's lower pixel rate and higher texture rate suggest a compute-oriented design.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for these two GPUs, and the B200 SXM6 has no recorded benchmark scores at all. The comparison must therefore rely on the available specifications and the Radeon 8050S's measured results.

The Radeon 8050S delivers 11.47 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, while the B200 SXM6 delivers 69.34 TFLOPS. That is a 57.87 TFLOPS difference in favor of the B200. The texture rate shows a similar pattern: the B200 SXM6 processes 1,083.4 GTexel/s versus 358.4 GTexel/s for the Radeon, a difference of 725 GTexel/s. The B200 SXM6 has 592 texture mapping units versus 128 for the Radeon, and 18,944 shading units versus 2,048.

The Radeon 8050S wins decisively in pixel throughput. It delivers 179.2 GPixel/s versus 43.92 GPixel/s for the B200 SXM6, a difference of 135.28 GPixel/s in favor of the Radeon. The Radeon also has 64 render output units versus 24 for the B200. This indicates the Radeon is designed for display output and rasterization, while the B200's lower pixel rate and higher texture rate point to a compute-focused design.

In memory, the B200 SXM6 has a clear advantage with 180 GB of HBM3e on an 8192-bit bus and 8.19 TB/s bandwidth. The Radeon 8050S uses system shared memory with system dependent bandwidth, so no direct comparison is possible. The B200's memory configuration is a server-class specification, while the Radeon relies on the host system's memory.

The Radeon 8050S has a higher boost clock at 2800 MHz versus 1830 MHz for the B200 SXM6, and a higher base clock at 1295 MHz versus 120 MHz. The B200's very low base clock of 120 MHz suggests it is designed to boost under load, while the Radeon maintains a higher idle clock for interactive graphics work.

The Radeon 8050S supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, while the B200 SXM6 lists N/A for all graphics APIs. The Radeon also has 32 ray tracing cores, while the B200 has none listed. For any application requiring traditional graphics rendering or ray tracing, the Radeon 8050S is the only option with support.

The B200 SXM6 has 592 tensor cores and 208,000 million transistors on a 1,628 mm² die, while the Radeon 8050S has no tensor cores and an unknown transistor count on a 308 mm² die. The B200's transistor density is 127.8 million per mm², which is a measurable specification, while the Radeon's density is not listed.

The Radeon 8050S achieves an average benchmark score of 62,108 with an 89th percentile rank, while the B200 SXM6 has an average score of zero with a 50th percentile rank. The Radeon's Geekbench OpenCL score of 65,818 and Vulkan score of 58,398 are the only recorded performance measurements in the database. The B200 SXM6 has no recorded scores, so its percentile rank of 50 reflects the absence of data rather than measured performance.
