AMD Radeon 8050S vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data presents an unusual comparison because the two GPUs were tested under different benchmark suites, so direct head-to-head scores are unavailable. The AMD Radeon 8050S was measured with Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan, producing scores of 65818 and 58398 respectively, yielding an average benchmark score of 62108. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER was evaluated using 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, scoring 2690, which also serves as its average benchmark score.

The AMD part's percentile ranking against all GPUs is 89, meaning it outperforms the vast majority of installed graphics hardware. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M with an average score of 61896 (0.3% behind the 8050S), the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 at 63693 (2.5% ahead of the 8050S), the AMD Radeon RX 7600M at 63775 (2.6% ahead), and the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP at 63830 (2.7% ahead). These are tight margins, indicating the 8050S sits squarely in a competitive midrange segment.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER, by contrast, holds an 18th percentile ranking. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M with an average score of 2664 (1% behind the 5070 SUPER), the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 at 2662 (1.1% behind), the Intel Arc Pro B50 at 2660 (1.1% behind), and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 at 2645 (1.7% behind). The delta percentages here are all positive, meaning the 5070 SUPER leads these rivals by small margins. However, the absolute score of 2690 is far lower than the AMD part's 62108 average, which reflects the different benchmark workloads rather than a direct performance comparison.

The database shows zero benchmark wins for either GPU in head-to-head tests, as none were recorded. The data implies that the AMD Radeon 8050S excels in compute-oriented OpenCL and Vulkan workloads, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER's single 3DMark result suggests a focus on gaming-oriented DX12 performance. Because the benchmark suites differ, drawing a direct winner is not possible from the recorded data; instead, the two parts appear optimized for different test conditions.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon 8050S is built on the RDNA 3.5 architecture using the Strix Halo chip, fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. Its die size is 308 mm², though the transistor count is listed as unknown. This part belongs to the Navi Mobile (RX 8000M) generation, and its predecessor is Polaris Mobile. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER uses the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with the GB205 chip, also made by TSMC but on a 5 nm process. Its die is 263 mm² with 31,100 million transistors, giving a transistor density of 118.3 million per mm². It is part of the GeForce 50 series.

The AMD part integrates 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 32 ray tracing cores, but it has no tensor cores listed. The NVIDIA part is far larger in compute resources: 6400 shading units, 200 TMUs, 80 ROPs, 50 ray tracing cores, and 200 tensor cores. This gives the NVIDIA GPU a much higher FP32 throughput of 32.15 TFLOPS versus the AMD part's 11.47 TFLOPS, with both offering FP16 at a 1:1 ratio. The pixel rate for the NVIDIA part is 201.0 GPixel/s versus 179.2 GPixel/s for the AMD part, and the texture rate is 502.4 GTexel/s versus 358.4 GTexel/s.

Both GPUs support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API compatibility is identical. The AMD part uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface, and the NVIDIA part also uses PCIe 5.0 x16. The AMD Radeon 8050S is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) with no power connectors, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER is a dual-slot card requiring a single 16-pin power connector. The AMD part's display outputs are listed as portable device dependent, whereas the NVIDIA part offers 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b.

Specification Differences

The clock speeds differ notably. The AMD Radeon 8050S has a base clock of 1295 MHz and a boost clock of 2800 MHz. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER has a higher base clock of 2325 MHz but a lower boost clock of 2512 MHz. Memory configurations are entirely different: the AMD part uses System Shared memory with system-dependent bandwidth, while the NVIDIA part uses 18 GB of GDDR7 on a 192-bit bus delivering 672.0 GB/s.

The compute resources diverge sharply. The NVIDIA part has 6400 shading units, 200 TMUs, 80 ROPs, 50 ray tracing cores, and 200 tensor cores. The AMD part has 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 32 ray tracing cores, with no tensor cores. This leads to a significant gap in FP32 performance: 32.15 TFLOPS for NVIDIA versus 11.47 TFLOPS for AMD. The pixel rate is 201.0 GPixel/s for NVIDIA versus 179.2 GPixel/s for AMD, and the texture rate is 502.4 GTexel/s versus 358.4 GTexel/s.

Power consumption differs substantially. The AMD Radeon 8050S has a TDP of 55 W and is an IGP with no power connectors, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER has a TDP of 275 W and requires a 16-pin connector. Physical dimensions also differ: the NVIDIA card is 245 mm in length, 115 mm in height, and 40 mm in width, and it occupies a dual-slot form factor. The AMD part has no listed dimensions and is an IGP. The process node differs as well: AMD uses 4 nm, NVIDIA uses 5 nm. The die size is 308 mm² for AMD and 263 mm² for NVIDIA. Release dates are also different: the AMD part was released on 2025-01-05, while the NVIDIA part was released on 2025-12-31.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon 8050S wins in compute-oriented workloads based on its Geekbench scores. Its OpenCL score of 65818 and Vulkan score of 58398 indicate strong performance in general-purpose compute and cross-platform graphics APIs. The 8050S also holds a much higher percentile ranking (89th) compared to the NVIDIA part's 18th percentile, suggesting broader competitiveness across the entire GPU landscape. Its 55 W TDP makes it suitable for low-power, portable devices, as it is an IGP with no external power connectors.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER wins in raw compute throughput, as shown by its FP32 rating of 32.15 TFLOPS, which is nearly three times higher than the AMD part's 11.47 TFLOPS. It also has more ray tracing cores (50 versus 32) and 200 tensor cores, which the AMD part lacks entirely. The NVIDIA part's 18 GB of GDDR7 memory with 672.0 GB/s bandwidth is a dedicated memory pool, whereas the AMD part relies on system-shared memory. The NVIDIA part also has a higher pixel rate and texture rate, indicating advantages in fill-rate-bound scenarios.

The database shows no recorded head-to-head benchmarks, so direct wins cannot be assigned. However, the specification data indicates that the NVIDIA part is designed for high-end gaming and ray-traced workloads, given its substantial compute resources and dedicated memory. The AMD part appears optimized for efficiency and integration into portable devices, with its low TDP and system-shared memory architecture.

The Verdict

The recorded data suggests two different use cases. The AMD Radeon 8050S, with its 89th percentile ranking and Geekbench scores of 65818 and 58398, is suited for integrated, low-power systems where compute performance relative to power draw matters. Its 55 W TDP and IGP form factor mean it can operate without dedicated power connectors, making it viable for thin-and-light portable devices. The 8050S sits within a tight competitive cluster, trailing the Radeon Pro Vega 56 by 2.5% and leading the Radeon Pro W6600M by 0.3%, indicating it is a competitive midrange option.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER, with its 18th percentile ranking and single 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 2690, appears designed for high-performance desktop gaming. Its 6400 shading units, 200 tensor cores, and 32.15 TFLOPS FP32 throughput point to heavy compute capability, and its 18 GB GDDR7 memory with 672.0 GB/s bandwidth provides ample dedicated video memory. The 275 W TDP and dual-slot form factor indicate a power-hungry discrete card requiring a 16-pin connector.

The data does not permit a direct performance comparison due to different benchmark suites. The AMD part's average score of 62108 is not comparable to the NVIDIA part's 2690, as they measure different workloads. The AMD part wins on percentile ranking and efficiency, while the NVIDIA part wins on raw compute resources and memory capacity. The choice depends on the intended system: the 8050S for integrated, portable applications, and the 5070 SUPER for dedicated, high-throughput graphics tasks. The release dates suggest the AMD part arrived earlier in 2025, while the NVIDIA part launched at the end of 2025, but no pricing information is recorded for either.
