AMD Radeon 8060S vs AMD Radeon 8065S Comparison

The Verdict

The AMD Radeon 8060S and AMD Radeon 8065S are both integrated graphics parts built on TSMC's 4 nm process with the same RDNA 3.5 architecture, but the database paints two very different pictures. The 8060S is a fully characterized product with a robust set of benchmark results, while the 8065S appears in the database with no recorded benchmark scores, no rival comparisons, and a percentile rank of 50 (versus the 8060S's 87). The recorded data shows the 8060S delivers 14.85 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, while the 8065S is rated for 15.36 TFLOPS, a 3.4% higher theoretical ceiling. The 8065S also boosts to 3000 MHz versus the 8060S's 2900 MHz, and its pixel rate of 192.0 GPixel/s tops the 8060S's 185.6 GPixel/s. However, with no actual measurements for the 8065S, the available evidence supports the 8060S as the proven option for anyone relying on verified performance data. The 8065S remains an unvalidated entry, though its higher clock specifications suggest it is positioned to outpace the 8060S when measurements arrive.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon 8060S wins where data exists: it has three recorded benchmark scores, an average benchmark score of 55757, and a percentile rank of 87 among all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB, posts an average score of 55698, a delta of just 0.1%, meaning the 8060S is functionally tied with that discrete card. Against the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080, the 8060S trails by 0.6% (56083 versus 55757), and it leads the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X by 1.7% (54828) and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 by 2.8% (54247). The 8060S's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2162, Geekbench OpenCL score of 84626, and Geekbench Vulkan score of 80483 provide concrete reference points. The 8065S wins on paper: its 3000 MHz boost clock, 480.0 GTexel/s texture rate, and 15.36 TFLOPS FP32 all exceed the 8060S's corresponding figures. The 8065S also holds a higher percentile rank of 50, though that rank is based on a 0 average score, making it a nominal distinction rather than a performance one. The 8060S is the winner in measured performance; the 8065S is the winner in specified capability.

Architecture Differences

Both GPUs share the same RDNA 3.5 architecture and belong to the Navi Mobile (RX 8000M) generation. The 8060S uses the Strix Halo chip, while the 8065S uses the Gorgon Halo chip. Both are fabricated on TSMC's 4 nm process with a die size of 308 mm², and both have unknown transistor counts. The compute configuration is identical: 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, 64 ROPs, and 40 ray tracing cores. Neither part lists tensor cores. Memory is system shared for both, with system-dependent bandwidth and no dedicated VRAM. The bus interface is PCIe 5.0 x16 for each, and both are classified as IGP (integrated graphics processor) with no power connectors and a 55 W TDP. The base clock matches at 1295 MHz, but the boost clock differs: 2900 MHz for the 8060S versus 3000 MHz for the 8065S. That 100 MHz difference drives the higher texture rate (464.0 GTexel/s versus 480.0 GTexel/s), pixel rate (185.6 GPixel/s versus 192.0 GPixel/s), and FP32 throughput (14.85 versus 15.36 TFLOPS). Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, and both rely on portable device dependent display outputs. The 8060S was released on 2025-01-05, while the 8065S has a later release date of 2025-12-31. Both share the Polaris Mobile predecessor, and neither has a successor listed.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries between the AMD Radeon 8060S and the AMD Radeon 8065S, and the wins counter shows zero for each side. The comparison therefore rests on the 8060S's measured results and the 8065S's specification sheet. The 8060S delivers a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2162, a Geekbench OpenCL score of 84626, and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 80483. These results place it in the 87th percentile of all GPUs, with an average score of 55757. The nearest rival data for the 8060S shows a 0.1% gap to the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB (55698), a 0.6% deficit to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 (56083), a 1.7% lead over the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X (54828), and a 2.8% lead over the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 (54247). That places the integrated 8060S in the same performance band as several discrete desktop graphics cards, which is notable for a 55 W IGP.

The 8065S, by contrast, has no benchmark scores recorded, no nearest rivals listed, and an average score of 0. Its percentile rank of 50 is the default midpoint for an unmeasured part. The only quantitative comparison available is through clock and throughput specifications. The 8065S's 3000 MHz boost clock is 3.4% higher than the 8060S's 2900 MHz. That translates to a texture rate of 480.0 GTexel/s versus 464.0 GTexel/s, a 3.4% advantage for the 8065S. The pixel rate follows the same pattern: 192.0 GPixel/s for the 8065S versus 185.6 GPixel/s for the 8060S, again a 3.4% lead. FP32 compute scales identically: 15.36 TFLOPS for the 8065S versus 14.85 TFLOPS for the 8060S, a 3.4% gap. FP16 throughput matches FP32 at a 1:1 ratio for both parts, so the 8065S holds the same proportional advantage there.

The 8060S's recorded data allows for a different kind of head-to-head: against its own rivals. The 8060S is statistically even with the RX 6750 GRE 12 GB, which is a discrete card with 12 GB of dedicated memory, yet the 8060S manages this with system shared memory and a 55 W TDP. The 8060S also edges out the RTX 4080 by 2.8%, a desktop GPU from a higher performance tier. The 8065S, if its clock advantage holds up in real workloads, would extend those leads by approximately 3.4% across the board, based on the linear scaling of its texture, pixel, and compute rates. However, without any actual benchmark entries, the database cannot confirm whether the 8065S achieves its specified boost behavior in sustained loads or whether thermal or power constraints in a 55 W envelope alter the outcome.

The release timeline also separates the two: the 8060S launched on 2025-01-05, while the 8065S has a release date of 2025-12-31. That gap means the 8060S has had time to accumulate measurements, while the 8065S may still be pre-release or newly introduced. Both parts use the same PCIe 5.0 x16 interface, the same system shared memory architecture, and the same API support, so the differentiating factor is purely the boost clock and the resulting throughput figures. The 8060S is the only one of the two with verified performance data, making it the reference point for any comparison until the 8065S receives benchmark entries. The 8065S's specifications suggest it should outperform the 8060S by a narrow but consistent margin, yet the absence of measurements leaves that as a projection rather than a measured result.
