Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon 8060S is built on the Strix Halo chip using the RDNA 3.5 architecture, produced on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The die measures 308 mm². It belongs to the Navi Mobile (RX 8000M) generation and lists Polaris Mobile as its predecessor. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile uses the GB205 chip with the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC. Its die measures 263 mm², and the transistor count is recorded as 31,100 million with a density of 118.3M per mm². The AMD part does not have a published transistor count in the database.

Compute resources differ substantially. The Radeon 8060S carries 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile carries 5888 shading units, 184 TMUs, and 80 ROPs. Ray tracing hardware differs too: the AMD part has 40 RT cores, while the NVIDIA part has 46 RT cores. The NVIDIA GPU also includes 184 tensor cores; the AMD part has no tensor core field populated in the database.

Clock behaviour is another major architectural difference. The Radeon 8060S runs at a 1295 MHz base and 2900 MHz boost, delivering a pixel rate of 185.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 464.0 GTexel/s. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile runs at an 847 MHz base and 1447 MHz boost, producing 115.8 GPixel/s and 266.2 GTexel/s. Despite lower clocks, the NVIDIA part reaches 17.04 TFLOPS FP32 and 17.04 TFLOPS FP16 (1:1), compared to 14.85 TFLOPS for both precision levels on the AMD part. The higher shading unit count on the NVIDIA GPU compensates for its lower clock speed.

Memory architecture is fundamentally different. The Radeon 8060S relies on system shared memory, making its bandwidth system dependent. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile uses dedicated 12 GB GDDR7 on a 192-bit interface with 672.0 GB/s bandwidth. Power envelopes are close: the AMD part is rated at 55 W TDP and the NVIDIA part at 60 W TDP. Both are integrated graphics packages (IGP) with no power connectors, and both connect via PCIe 5.0 x16. Display outputs are portable device dependent for both.

The Verdict

The recorded data separates these two GPUs into different roles. The AMD Radeon 8060S shows a higher average benchmark score of 55757 and a better percentile ranking at 87 versus 80. Its nearest rival comparisons place it near the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 and ahead of the RTX 4080. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile, despite a lower average score of 35435, delivers decisively higher scores in the two head-to-head tests where both parts have matching entries.

The Radeon 8060S suits scenarios where the overall benchmark aggregate matters more than any single compute workload. Its average score places it comfortably above the RTX 4080 in the database, and its 87th percentile ranking reflects broad strength across the tested suite. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile suits scenarios where raw compute throughput in OpenCL and Vulkan is the priority. Its head-to-head margins of 41.2% and 42.2% over the AMD part are substantial and consistent.

The architecture split reinforces this. The NVIDIA part uses dedicated GDDR7 memory with 672.0 GB/s bandwidth, which likely explains its dominance in the compute-heavy Geekbench tests. The AMD part relies on system shared memory, making its performance dependent on the host system's memory configuration. The Radeon 8060S also has a much higher boost clock at 2900 MHz versus 1447 MHz, which contributes to its strong aggregate showing.

Neither GPU is a clear winner across all metrics. The AMD part wins on average score, percentile ranking, clock speeds, and pixel/texture rates. The NVIDIA part wins on shading units, TMUs, ROPs, RT cores, tensor cores, FP32 throughput, and memory bandwidth. The choice depends on whether the user prioritizes the aggregate database score or the specific compute workloads where the NVIDIA part dominates.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains two direct comparisons between these GPUs, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile wins both. In Geekbench OpenCL, the NVIDIA part scores 143870 against 84626 for the AMD Radeon 8060S. That translates to a 41.2% advantage for NVIDIA. In Geekbench Vulkan, the NVIDIA part scores 139213 against 80483, a 42.2% advantage. Both margins are large and consistent, indicating the NVIDIA GPU holds a clear lead in these compute-oriented workloads.

The broader benchmark picture complicates the head-to-head result. The AMD Radeon 8060S has an average benchmark score of 55757, which is 57.4% higher than the NVIDIA part's 35435. The AMD GPU also holds the 87th percentile ranking versus the 80th percentile for NVIDIA. The AMD part has one additional recorded benchmark, 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 with a score of 2162, which contributes to its higher aggregate. The NVIDIA part has nine recorded benchmarks including multiple Passmark tests, yet its average still trails.

The delta between the two GPUs in the head-to-head tests does not match the delta in average scores. The NVIDIA part wins the two shared tests by roughly 41-42%, but the AMD part wins the aggregate by a wide margin. This indicates the AMD GPU performs strongly in workloads not covered by the shared Geekbench tests, particularly in the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result. The data suggests the AMD part has a different performance profile: weaker in raw OpenCL and Vulkan compute, stronger in the overall mixed workload.

Rival comparisons reinforce the AMD part's aggregate strength. The Radeon 8060S sits 0.1% above the RX 6750 GRE 12 GB, 0.6% below the RTX 5080, 1.7% above the Radeon Pro W5700X, and 2.8% above the RTX 4080. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile sits 0.2% below the Quadro GV100, 1.2% below the Radeon Pro Duo, 2.1% above the NVIDIA A2, and 2.4% below the NVIDIA T1000. These rival sets place the AMD part in a higher performance tier overall.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon 8060S wins on aggregate performance measures. Its average benchmark score of 55757 exceeds the NVIDIA part by a wide margin, and its 87th percentile ranking places it above the RTX 5080 and RTX 4080 in the database's rival comparisons. The AMD part also delivers higher pixel and texture rates at 185.6 GPixel/s and 464.0 GTexel/s respectively, despite having fewer shading units. Its 2900 MHz boost clock is more than double the NVIDIA part's 1447 MHz boost clock. The 8060S is the stronger choice for users whose workloads align with the full benchmark suite rather than a single compute test.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile wins on raw compute throughput. Its 143870 Geekbench OpenCL score and 139213 Geekbench Vulkan score beat the AMD part by 41.2% and 42.2% respectively. The NVIDIA GPU also has more shading units (5888 versus 2560), more TMUs (184 versus 160), more ROPs (80 versus 64), more RT cores (46 versus 40), and 184 tensor cores where the AMD part records none. Its dedicated 12 GB GDDR7 memory with 672.0 GB/s bandwidth contrasts with the AMD part's system dependent memory. The 17.04 TFLOPS FP32 and FP16 throughput also exceeds the AMD part's 14.85 TFLOPS at both precisions. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is the stronger choice for compute-heavy workloads that exercise OpenCL and Vulkan paths.

The two GPUs occupy different performance niches despite similar TDP ratings of 55 W and 60 W. The AMD part achieves its aggregate lead through higher clocks and higher fill rates, while the NVIDIA part achieves its head-to-head lead through a larger shader array and dedicated memory bandwidth. The recorded data does not show a single workload where both strengths combine, so the choice reduces to whether the user values the aggregate score or the specific compute benchmarks.
