AMD Radeon 8060S vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 AD103 Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data presents an unusual comparison. The AMD Radeon 8060S carries three benchmark entries with concrete scores, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 AD103 has no benchmark scores recorded in the database. This creates a one-sided quantitative picture. The AMD part shows a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2162, a Geekbench OpenCL score of 84626, and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 80483. The RTX 4070 AD103, by contrast, has an average benchmark score of zero and no nearest rivals listed.

The AMD Radeon 8060S sits at the 87th percentile among all GPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 55757. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB at an average score of 55698, which is a 0.1% difference, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 at 56083, which the 8060S trails by 0.6%. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X scores 54828, putting the 8060S ahead by 1.7%, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 scores 54247, with the 8060S ahead by 2.8%. These figures indicate the 8060S slots into a performance neighborhood near some of the strongest desktop GPUs from recent generations, despite its mobile-oriented design brief.

The RTX 4070 AD103 occupies the 50th percentile with an average benchmark score of zero, meaning no measured performance data exists for it in the database. This is not an indication of performance level; it is a data absence. The AMD part is clearly the only one of the two with measurable wins across all recorded benchmarks, because no head-to-head benchmark entries exist and the wins counters show zero for both parts. What can be said from the data is that the 8060S has verified performance across three distinct tests, while the RTX 4070 AD103 does not yet have any recorded results in the database.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for these two GPUs, and the wins counters show zero for both. However, the AMD Radeon 8060S has standalone benchmark results that define its performance profile. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2162 represents a DirectX 12 workload. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 84626 measures general compute performance, and the Geekbench Vulkan score of 80483 covers the Vulkan API path. These three scores combine to produce the 55757 average.

That average places the 8060S in a tight cluster with several high-end desktop parts. The AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB trails by 0.1%, effectively a statistical tie. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 leads by 0.6%, which is within measurement noise for most benchmark suites. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X sits 1.7% behind, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 trails by 2.8%. These margins are small, and they suggest that the 8060S delivers performance broadly comparable to those established desktop cards in the database's scoring system.

The RTX 4070 AD103 has no scores to compare directly. Its percentile ranking of 50 with an average score of zero indicates that it has not been tested in the database, or the results have not been recorded. Any attempt to quantify a head-to-head comparison would require invented numbers, which the database does not provide. The only honest reading is that the AMD part has a complete recorded performance profile, and the NVIDIA part does not.

What can be noted is the discrepancy in positioning. The 8060S, despite being an integrated graphics processor with a 55 W TDP, ranks at the 87th percentile. The RTX 4070 AD103, a discrete dual-slot card with a 200 W TDP, has no percentile data beyond the default 50th with a zero score. The recorded data therefore shows the 8060S as the only one of the two with measurable performance, and that performance aligns with some of the faster GPUs in the database.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ across nearly every specification field. The AMD Radeon 8060S uses a 4 nm process node from TSMC, while the RTX 4070 AD103 uses a 5 nm node, also from TSMC. Die size differs: 308 mm² for the 8060S versus 379 mm² for the RTX 4070 AD103. The transistor count for the 8060S is listed as unknown, while the RTX 4070 AD103 has 45,900 million transistors and a transistor density of 121.1M per mm².

Clock speeds show a significant divergence. The 8060S has a base clock of 1295 MHz and a boost clock of 2900 MHz. The RTX 4070 AD103 has a higher base clock of 1920 MHz but a lower boost clock of 2475 MHz. Memory configurations are entirely different: the 8060S uses system shared memory with system dependent bandwidth, while the RTX 4070 AD103 has 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus delivering 504.2 GB/s, with the memory clock listed at 1313 MHz or 21 Gbps effective.

Compute resources differ substantially. The 8060S has 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs. The RTX 4070 AD103 has 5888 shading units, 184 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. Ray tracing cores number 40 on the AMD part and 46 on the NVIDIA part. The RTX 4070 AD103 also includes 184 tensor cores, while the 8060S has no tensor core count listed. Pixel rate favors the 8060S at 185.6 GPixel/s versus 158.4 GPixel/s, while texture rate is close: 464.0 GTexel/s against 455.4 GTexel/s. FP32 performance strongly favors the NVIDIA part at 29.15 TFLOPS versus 14.85 TFLOPS, with both listing FP16 at a 1:1 ratio.

Power and physical specifications also differ. The 8060S has a 55 W TDP, an IGP slot width, and no power connectors. The RTX 4070 AD103 has a 200 W TDP, dual-slot width, a single 16-pin power connector, and a suggested PSU of 550 W. The 8060S uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface, while the RTX 4070 AD103 uses PCIe 4.0 x16. The RTX 4070 AD103 has defined dimensions of 240 mm by 110 mm by 40 mm, while the 8060S has none listed. The RTX 4070 AD103 has a launch MSRP of 599 USD. Display outputs for the 8060S are portable device dependent, while the RTX 4070 AD103 lists 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon 8060S is built on the Strix Halo chip using RDNA 3.5 architecture, part of the Navi Mobile generation under the RX 8000M family. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 AD103 uses the AD103 chip with Ada Lovelace architecture, belonging to the GeForce 40-series. The process nodes differ, with the 8060S on 4 nm and the RTX 4070 AD103 on 5 nm.

The AMD part is an integrated graphics processor, as indicated by its IGP slot width and lack of power connectors. It relies on system shared memory, which makes its memory bandwidth system dependent. The NVIDIA part is a discrete, dual-slot expansion card with its own 12 GB GDDR6X memory and a dedicated 504.2 GB/s bandwidth path. This architectural distinction explains the memory differences: one uses unified memory with the host system, the other has a dedicated frame buffer.

Ray tracing and compute features also differ. The 8060S has 40 ray tracing cores and no tensor cores listed. The RTX 4070 AD103 has 46 ray tracing cores and 184 tensor cores. The NVIDIA architecture therefore includes dedicated tensor hardware, while the AMD part does not list any equivalent. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The bus interfaces differ: PCIe 5.0 x16 for the 8060S versus PCIe 4.0 x16 for the RTX 4070 AD103.

The production statuses reflect different lifecycles. The 8060S is Active and was released on 2025-01-05, with a predecessor listed as Polaris Mobile. The RTX 4070 AD103 is End-of-life, released on 2024-02-29, with a predecessor of GeForce 30 and a successor of GeForce 50. The transistor count for the 8060S is unknown, while the RTX 4070 AD103 lists 45,900 million transistors on a 379 mm² die. The die size difference, 308 mm² versus 379 mm², shows the NVIDIA chip is physically larger despite being on a looser process node.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear split. For users who need measured performance in the database, the AMD Radeon 8060S is the only option with recorded scores. It delivers an average benchmark score of 55757, ranking at the 87th percentile, and sits within 2.8% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 and within 0.6% of the RTX 5080. It does this with a 55 W TDP and an IGP form factor, meaning no power connectors and no expansion slot requirement. The three recorded scores, 2162 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, 84626 in Geekbench OpenCL, and 80483 in Geekbench Vulkan, provide a consistent picture of a capable mobile GPU.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 AD103 has no recorded benchmarks, no average score, and no nearest rivals in the database. Its 50th percentile ranking with a zero average score is a placeholder, not a performance measurement. What the database does show is its specification sheet: 5888 shading units, 29.15 TFLOPS FP32, 46 ray tracing cores, 184 tensor cores, 12 GB GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus with 504.2 GB/s bandwidth, and a 200 W TDP. These are strong on-paper numbers, and the FP32 figure is roughly double the 8060S. But without recorded scores, the database cannot place it relative to the AMD part.

The RTX 4070 AD103 is listed as End-of-life with a successor already named, the GeForce 50. The 8060S is Active and newer by roughly eleven months, with no successor listed. Users who prioritize verified database results and low power draw would align with the 8060S. Users who require a discrete card with dedicated memory and tensor cores would look to the RTX 4070 AD103, but they would be relying on specifications rather than measured data. The verdict from the recorded information is straightforward: the AMD Radeon 8060S is the only one of the two with demonstrated benchmark performance, and that performance places it among the higher-tier GPUs in the database.
