AMD Radeon 8050S vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile Comparison

AMD Radeon 8050S vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile

The recorded data shows a decisive performance gap between these two mobile graphics processors. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile wins both head-to-head benchmark comparisons, with the AMD Radeon 8050S trailing by substantial margins. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile delivers roughly double the compute output in OpenCL and Vulkan workloads, while the Radeon 8050S holds advantages in power efficiency and die size. These are fundamentally different designs: one is a compact integrated graphics solution from AMD, the other a higher-throughput discrete-class part from NVIDIA, despite both being classified as IGP slot width.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Geekbench OpenCL result establishes the clearest gap. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile scores 143870, while the Radeon 8050S manages 65818. That is a delta of -54.3% for the AMD part, meaning the NVIDIA solution delivers more than twice the raw compute throughput in this API. In Geekbench Vulkan, the pattern repeats: the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile posts 139213 against 58398 for the Radeon 8050S, a -58.1% difference. The Vulkan gap is actually wider than the OpenCL gap, suggesting the NVIDIA architecture scales better in this lower-level graphics API.

The FP32 peak rates corroborate the benchmark results. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile reaches 17.04 TFLOPS, versus 11.47 TFLOPS for the Radeon 8050S. That is a 48.6% higher theoretical single-precision throughput for the NVIDIA part, consistent with the measured OpenCL advantage. The texture and pixel rates tell a more nuanced story. The Radeon 8050S delivers 358.4 GTexel/s, which is 34.6% higher than the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile's 266.2 GTexel/s. Similarly, the AMD part has a pixel rate of 179.2 GPixel/s versus 115.8 GPixel/s for the NVIDIA part, a 54.7% advantage. These fillrate wins do not translate into benchmark victories, indicating that the NVIDIA part's advantages in shader count and memory bandwidth dominate real-world workloads.

The average benchmark scores reflect the same hierarchy. The Radeon 8050S averages 62108, while the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile averages 35435. The difference in these averages is heavily influenced by the fact that the NVIDIA part has nine recorded benchmark entries, including several Passmark tests with much lower scores, while the AMD part has only two Geekbench entries. The percentile rankings place the Radeon 8050S at the 89th percentile of all GPUs, while the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile sits at the 80th percentile. The nearest rivals for the AMD part, the Radeon Pro W6600M at 61896, Pro Vega 56 at 63693, RX 7600M at 63775, and RX 9060 XT LP at 63830, all cluster within 2.7% of its average score. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile sits alongside the Quadro GV100 at 35520, Radeon Pro Duo at 35860, A2 at 34690, and T1000 at 36289, with deltas ranging from -2.4% to 2.1%.

Architecture Differences

The process nodes differ, with the Radeon 8050S built on a 4 nm process and the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile on 5 nm, both from TSMC. The AMD chip, Strix Halo, uses RDNA 3.5 architecture and belongs to the Navi Mobile (RX 8000M) generation. The NVIDIA chip, GB205, uses Blackwell 2.0 and belongs to the GeForce 50 Mobile generation. Die sizes are close, 308 mm² for the AMD part and 263 mm² for the NVIDIA part, but transistor counts diverge sharply. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile packs 31,100 million transistors, while the Radeon 8050S transistor count is unknown. The NVIDIA die achieves a density of 118.3M / mm², a figure the database does not provide for the AMD part.

Core configurations differ significantly. The Radeon 8050S has 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 32 RT cores. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile has 5888 shading units, 184 TMUs, 80 ROPs, 46 RT cores, and 184 tensor cores. The NVIDIA part has 2.9 times the shading units and 2.4 times the RT cores. The AMD part has no tensor cores listed, while the NVIDIA part includes 184 of them, reflecting the Blackwell design's emphasis on AI acceleration. The Radeon 8050S does have RT cores, 32 of them, so both support hardware ray tracing.

Memory architecture is fundamentally different. The Radeon 8050S uses system shared memory, with size, type, bus width, and bandwidth all marked as system dependent. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile has 12 GB of GDDR7 on a 192 bit bus, delivering 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Clock behavior also contrasts. The Radeon 8050S runs at a 1295 MHz base and 2800 MHz boost, while the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile has a much lower 847 MHz base and 1447 MHz boost. The NVIDIA part compensates for lower clocks with far more shader units and dedicated memory bandwidth. The AMD part relies on a smaller shader array running at roughly double the clock rate.

Power targets are close. The Radeon 8050S has a TDP of 55 W, while the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is rated at 60 W. Both are IGP slot width with no power connectors, and both use PCIe 5.0 x16. Display outputs are portable device dependent for both. API support is identical: DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4 for both parts.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear choice for compute-heavy workloads. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile outperforms the AMD Radeon 8050S by 54.3% in OpenCL and 58.1% in Vulkan. It delivers 17.04 TFLOPS of FP32 performance against 11.47 TFLOPS, has 5888 shading units against 2048, and provides 12 GB of dedicated GDDR7 memory with 672.0 GB/s bandwidth. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile also includes 184 tensor cores, which the Radeon 8050S lacks entirely.

The AMD Radeon 8050S is the better choice where power and fillrate matter. Its 55 W TDP is lower than the 60 W TDP of the NVIDIA part. Its 179.2 GPixel/s pixel rate and 358.4 GTexel/s texture rate exceed the NVIDIA part's 115.8 GPixel/s and 266.2 GTexel/s. It uses a 4 nm process compared to 5 nm, and its higher boost clock of 2800 MHz versus 1447 MHz indicates a design optimized for burst performance. The Radeon 8050S also has a higher percentile ranking at 89 versus 80, though this reflects the different benchmark sets recorded for each GPU.

The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is the stronger overall performer in the recorded benchmarks. The Radeon 8050S is a more efficient part with superior fillrate characteristics. Systems requiring maximum graphics compute should favor the NVIDIA part. Systems prioritizing power efficiency and raw rasterization throughput may prefer the AMD part. The 2 W TDP difference is small, but the architectural philosophies are not: the NVIDIA design uses many shader units at moderate clocks with dedicated high-bandwidth memory, while the AMD design uses fewer units at high clocks with system shared memory.
