AMD Radeon 8050S vs NVIDIA N1X 48SM Comparison

The Verdict

The data presents a direct comparison between two integrated graphics processors with vastly different measurement profiles. The AMD Radeon 8050S is a fully benchmarked, active product with recorded scores, while the NVIDIA N1X 48SM has no benchmark entries in the database, meaning its performance cannot be quantified through recorded measurements. For any user selecting based on verified data, the AMD Radeon 8050S is the only option with measurable performance evidence.

The AMD Radeon 8050S sits at the 89th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 62108. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M at 61896 (0.3% ahead), the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 at 63693 (2.5% behind), the AMD Radeon RX 7600M at 63775 (2.6% behind), and the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP at 63830 (2.7% behind). This places the 8050S in a competitive position against dedicated mobile GPUs, despite being an integrated processor.

The NVIDIA N1X 48SM, by contrast, holds a 50th percentile ranking with an average benchmark score of 0, indicating no recorded performance data exists. The database shows no nearest rivals for this part. Without benchmark scores, no performance verdict can be derived from measurements. The choice between these two parts, strictly from the data, favors the AMD Radeon 8050S because it delivers verified, recorded performance while the NVIDIA part does not.

For users requiring an integrated GPU with proven compute capability, the AMD Radeon 8050S delivers measurable results. The NVIDIA N1X 48SM remains an unverified quantity in the database, and any decision involving it would lack benchmark support.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon 8050S wins in every measured category because it is the only part with recorded benchmark data. Its Geekbench OpenCL score reaches 65818, and its Geekbench Vulkan score reaches 58398. These are the only two benchmark results in the database for either product.

The NVIDIA N1X 48SM has no wins in any recorded benchmark category. Its benchmark array is empty, its average score is 0, and it has no head-to-head wins. The data cannot support any use case advantage for this part.

The AMD Radeon 8050S demonstrates a clear advantage in compute workloads measured by OpenCL, where its 65818 score exceeds its own Vulkan result by 7420 points. This indicates OpenCL compute performance is the stronger metric for this GPU. Vulkan graphics performance, while lower, still represents a substantial recorded capability at 58398.

The NVIDIA N1X 48SM does offer hardware specifications that suggest capability, including 6144 shading units, 384 texture mapping units, 48 ray tracing cores, and 192 tensor cores. However, none of these specifications translate into recorded benchmark wins. The database contains no measurements to confirm real-world performance.

However, the AMD Radeon 8050S has two standalone benchmark results that establish its measured performance baseline.

The AMD Radeon 8050S achieves 65818 in Geekbench OpenCL. This is its strongest recorded result and places it at the 89th percentile among all GPUs. The Geekbench Vulkan score of 58398 reinforces the compute capability of the part. The difference between the two scores, 7420 points, shows OpenCL workloads extract more performance from this GPU than Vulkan workloads.

The NVIDIA N1X 48SM has no benchmark results, so no comparison can be made using recorded data. Its percentile ranking of 50th with an average score of 0 reflects the absence of measurements rather than a performance level.
