AMD Radeon 8060S vs NVIDIA B200 SXM6 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data presents an unusual comparison, as only one of the two accelerators has benchmark entries in the database. The AMD Radeon 8060S has three recorded test scores, while the NVIDIA B200 SXM6 has no benchmark results. Consequently, direct head-to-head deltas cannot be calculated from the database. The AMD part's average benchmark score of 55757 places it in the 87th percentile of all GPUs, a position that reflects its measured performance across the three tests. The Radeon 8060S scores 2162 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, 84626 in Geekbench OpenCL, and 80483 in Geekbench Vulkan.

The nearest rival data for the AMD Radeon 8060S provides context for its standing. The Radeon 8060S sits 0.1% above the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB, which has an average score of 55698. It trails the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 by 0.6%, that card averaging 56083. Against the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X, the 8060S leads by 1.7%, with the rival averaging 54828. The margin over the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is 2.8%, the RTX 4080 averaging 54247. These deltas are narrow, indicating that the Radeon 8060S operates in a performance band closely matched by several established desktop and workstation GPUs.

The NVIDIA B200 SXM6, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark scores, an average benchmark score of 0, and no nearest rivals in the database. Its percentile ranking of 50 reflects the absence of measured data rather than a performance assessment. The database cannot offer comparative benchmark figures for this unit, so any head-to-head numerical analysis is limited to the AMD side of the comparison.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon 8060S demonstrates its measured capabilities in three distinct workloads recorded in the database. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2162 indicates a DirectX 12 rendering workload result. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 84626 and the Geekbench Vulkan score of 80483 show compute performance across two different APIs. The average score of 55757 and the 87th percentile placement suggest that in the database's broader GPU population, the Radeon 8060S ranks among the higher-performing units.

The Radeon 8060S's wins are quantifiable only against its nearest rivals, none of which include the NVIDIA B200 SXM6. It edges the RX 6750 GRE 12 GB by 0.1%, the Pro W5700X by 1.7%, and the RTX 4080 by 2.8%. The single loss among its nearest rivals is a 0.6% deficit to the RTX 5080. These margins are small, so the Radeon 8060S does not dominate its peer group in any decisive way. It does, however, show a consistent position near the top of that group.

The NVIDIA B200 SXM6 has no recorded wins in the database because it has no benchmark entries. Its specifications, such as 69.34 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput, 8.19 TB/s of memory bandwidth, and 180 GB of HBM3e memory, describe a hardware configuration aimed at server workloads, but no measured results exist in the database to confirm performance in any application. The Radeon 8060S, with its 14.85 TFLOPS FP32 figure and system-shared memory, occupies a different performance class. The database records no common benchmark between the two, so neither unit can be declared a winner in any shared test.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon 8060S uses the Strix Halo chip built on RDNA 3.5 architecture, manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. Its die size is 308 mm². The NVIDIA B200 SXM6 uses the GB100 chip on Blackwell architecture, built on a 5 nm process at TSMC, with a die size of 1628 mm² and 208,000 million transistors. The transistor density for the B200 SXM6 is recorded as 127.8M per mm², while the Radeon 8060S has an unknown transistor count and no density figure.

The Radeon 8060S has 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, 64 ROPs, and 40 ray tracing cores. Its clocks are 1295 MHz base and 2900 MHz boost. The B200 SXM6 has 18944 shading units, 592 TMUs, 24 ROPs, and 592 tensor cores, with no ray tracing core count listed. Its clocks are 120 MHz base and 1830 MHz boost. The B200 SXM6's pixel rate of 43.92 GPixel/s is lower than the Radeon 8060S's 185.6 GPixel/s, while the B200 SXM6's texture rate of 1083.4 GTexel/s is higher than the Radeon 8060S's 464.0 GTexel/s.

Memory configurations differ sharply. The Radeon 8060S uses system-shared memory, with its bandwidth described as system-dependent. The B200 SXM6 has 180 GB of HBM3e memory on an 8192-bit bus, delivering 8.19 TB/s of bandwidth. The B200 SXM6's FP32 throughput of 69.34 TFLOPS is nearly five times the Radeon 8060S's 14.85 TFLOPS. Both parts list FP16 at a 1:1 ratio with FP32.

Power and interface details also separate the two. The Radeon 8060S has a 55 W TDP, is an integrated graphics processor with no power connectors, and uses PCIe 5.0 x16. The B200 SXM6 has a 1000 W TDP, a suggested PSU of 1400 W, and uses PCIe 6.0 x16. The B200 SXM6 has no display outputs, while the Radeon 8060S's display outputs are portable-device dependent. The Radeon 8060S supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, while the B200 SXM6 lists N/A for all three APIs, consistent with a server accelerator lacking a graphics driver stack. Release dates in the database place the Radeon 8060S in January 2025 and the B200 SXM6 in October 2024.

The Verdict

The database contains measured performance data for the AMD Radeon 8060S and none for the NVIDIA B200 SXM6. Any selection between the two must therefore rest on the available data. The Radeon 8060S is a validated performer in the 87th percentile of all GPUs, with an average score of 55757 and narrow margins over several desktop rivals. It fits into a mobile or integrated context, given its 55 W TDP, system-shared memory, and integrated graphics package. Its API support covers current graphics standards, which aligns with client-side use.

The B200 SXM6 is a server module with no display outputs, no API support listed, and a 1000 W TDP. Its memory capacity of 180 GB and bandwidth of 8.19 TB/s, along with 69.34 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput, indicate a compute-oriented design, but the database records no benchmark results to quantify its performance. Its launch MSRP is 34,999 USD.

For users whose decisions depend on recorded benchmark scores, the Radeon 8060S is the only unit with data. For users focused on server compute specifications, the B200 SXM6 offers a larger memory footprint, higher throughput, and more shading units, but no measured scores in the database support a performance conclusion. The database's recorded information does not permit a direct performance ranking of these two accelerators against each other.
