AMD Radeon 8060S vs NVIDIA H20 NVL16 Comparison

The Verdict

The data positions these two accelerators for entirely different workloads. The AMD Radeon 8060S is a mobile integrated graphics processor with three recorded benchmark scores, placing it in the 87th percentile of all GPUs in the database. The NVIDIA H20 NVL16 is a server-focused SXM module with no recorded benchmark scores, a 50th percentile ranking, and an average benchmark score of zero. The Radeon 8060S is the only one of the two with measurable graphics performance data, while the H20 NVL16 offers massive memory capacity and compute resources but no validated graphics results in the database.

For anyone selecting a part strictly from recorded data, the AMD Radeon 8060S is the choice for graphics workloads. It has three benchmark entries: a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2162, a Geekbench OpenCL score of 84626, and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 80483. Its average benchmark score of 55757 places it within 0.1% of the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB, 0.6% behind the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080, 1.7% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X, and 2.8% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080. The NVIDIA H20 NVL16 has no comparable entries, so its suitability for graphics cannot be assessed from the database.

The H20 NVL16 serves a different function. It carries 96 GB of HBM3 memory on a 6144-bit bus with 4.03 TB/s of bandwidth, 312 tensor cores, and 9984 shading units. Its FP32 throughput of 39.54 TFLOPS is 2.66 times the Radeon 8060S figure of 14.85 TFLOPS. Its FP16 throughput of 79.07 TFLOPS is 5.32 times the Radeon 8060S figure of 14.85 TFLOPS. These numbers indicate a compute-oriented device, but without benchmark scores, the database cannot confirm real-world performance.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries between these two devices. The wins counter shows zero for both sides. Direct comparison through shared tests is therefore impossible.

The Radeon 8060S has its own recorded scores. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it scores 2162. In Geekbench OpenCL, it scores 84626. In Geekbench Vulkan, it scores 80483. The average of these three scores is 55757.

The nearest rivals for the Radeon 8060S show the competitive context. The AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB has an average score of 55698, a delta of 0.1% behind. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 has an average score of 56083, a delta of 0.6% ahead. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X has an average score of 54828, a delta of 1.7% behind. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 has an average score of 54247, a delta of 2.8% behind. The Radeon 8060S therefore sits in a tight cluster near these desktop and workstation cards, within a 3.4 percentage point spread across all four.

The H20 NVL16 has no benchmark scores, no average score, and no nearest rivals. Its percentile ranking of 50 is derived from zero recorded measurements. Any performance comparison between the two must rely on specification-level analysis rather than measured results.

The FP32 gap is the clearest compute signal. The H20 NVL16 delivers 39.54 TFLOPS against 14.85 TFLOPS for the Radeon 8060S. The FP16 gap is wider: 79.07 TFLOPS against 14.85 TFLOPS. The H20 NVL16 also has 312 tensor cores, which the Radeon 8060S lacks entirely. Memory bandwidth differs by orders of magnitude: 4.03 TB/s against system dependent and shared memory. The Radeon 8060S has no dedicated memory specifications at all.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon 8060S wins in all measured graphics scenarios. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2162 and its Geekbench Vulkan score of 80483 demonstrate functional graphics capability. Its 185.6 GPixel/s pixel rate is 3.91 times the H20 NVL16 figure of 47.52 GPixel/s, which aligns with its 64 ROPs against 24. It is an integrated graphics processor with a 55 W TDP, no power connectors, and portable device dependent display outputs, positioning it for mobile systems. Its 40 ray tracing cores and DirectX 12 Ultimate support further indicate a graphics-oriented part.

The NVIDIA H20 NVL16 wins on compute density and memory capacity. Its FP32 throughput of 39.54 TFLOPS and FP16 throughput of 79.07 TFLOPS far exceed the Radeon 8060S. Its 312 tensor cores provide dedicated matrix math hardware that the Radeon 8060S lacks. Its 96 GB of HBM3 memory with 4.03 TB/s bandwidth dwarfs a system shared configuration. Its 312 TMUs give it a texture rate of 617.8 GTexel/s, 1.33 times the Radeon 8060S figure of 464.0 GTexel/s. Its larger die, 814 mm², and transistor count of 80,000 million reflect a server-class part. It has no display outputs and no graphics API support, which confirms its role as a compute accelerator rather than a graphics card.

The recorded data supports a clear split. The Radeon 8060S is the only part with graphics benchmarks, and it sits in the 87th percentile of all GPUs. The H20 NVL16 sits in the 50th percentile with zero recorded scores. For any workload measured by the database, the Radeon 8060S is the only option with evidence. For workloads requiring large memory pools, high FP16 throughput, or tensor core operations, the H20 NVL16 has the specifications on paper, though no measured confirmation exists in the database.
