AMD Radeon 8065S vs AMD Radeon RX 7700S Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains recorded benchmark results for the AMD Radeon RX 7700S, while the AMD Radeon 8065S currently has no benchmark entries. This means direct score-to-score comparisons cannot be made from the recorded data. However, the RX 7700S has measurable performance data that establishes its position relative to other GPUs.

The RX 7700S achieves an average benchmark score of 33,849 across three tests. In 3DMark Steel Nomad (DX12), it records 2,185 points. In Geekbench OpenCL, it scores 62,983. In Geekbench Vulkan, it scores 36,380. These results place the RX 7700S at the 78th percentile among all GPUs in the database.

The nearest rivals for the RX 7700S show a tight cluster. The AMD Radeon HD 7950 averages 33,951, which is 0.3% higher. The AMD Radeon RX 480 averages 33,997, 0.4% higher. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 5 GB averages 33,694, which is 0.5% lower. The NVIDIA RTX A5000 averages 33,622, 0.7% lower. These delta values indicate the RX 7700S sits in a competitive band where performance differences are negligible, within a fraction of a percent.

The Radeon 8065S has no benchmark scores in the database, so its percentile and average score are recorded as zero. Its percentile versus all GPUs is listed at 50, but without actual test data this represents a neutral placeholder rather than a measured result. The wins count for each part in head-to-head competition is zero because no paired benchmark tests exist.

The absence of benchmark data for the 8065S does not imply inferiority. It simply means the database has not yet recorded test results for this part. The RX 7700S data provides a reference point for what a current mobile Radeon GPU delivers, but direct comparisons between these two specific parts require additional measurements.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs differ substantially in their underlying designs. The Radeon 8065S uses the Gorgon Halo chip built on RDNA 3.5 architecture, produced on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Radeon RX 7700S uses the Navi 33 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, produced on a 6 nm process, also at TSMC. The 8065S belongs to the Navi Mobile (RX 8000M) generation, while the RX 7700S belongs to the Navi Mobile (RX 7000M) generation.

Die sizes and transistor counts diverge significantly. The 8065S has a die size of 308 mm² with its transistor count listed as unknown. The RX 7700S has a die size of 204 mm² with 13,300 million transistors, yielding a transistor density of 65.2 million per mm². The 8065S uses a larger physical die, which typically allows for more compute resources.

The compute units differ in their arrangement. The 8065S has 2,560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, 64 render output units, and 40 ray tracing cores. The RX 7700S has 2,048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 render output units, and 32 ray tracing cores. The 8065S thus carries 25% more shading units, 25% more TMUs, and 25% more ray tracing cores, while matching the ROP count at 64.

Clock speeds take opposite approaches. The 8065S has a base clock of 1,295 MHz and a boost clock of 3,000 MHz. The RX 7700S has a base clock of 1,500 MHz, a boost clock of 2,500 MHz, and a game clock of 2,200 MHz. The 8065S starts lower but boosts considerably higher, while the RX 7700S maintains a higher baseline and a more modest boost target.

Memory configurations are entirely different. The 8065S uses system shared memory, with the type, bus width, and capacity all listed as system dependent. The RX 7700S has dedicated 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus with 288.0 GB/s bandwidth and a memory clock of 2,250 MHz (18 Gbps effective). This is a fundamental architectural distinction: one part relies on shared system memory, the other has its own dedicated VRAM.

Power targets reflect this separation. The 8065S has a TDP of 55 W, while the RX 7700S has a TDP of 100 W. The 8065S uses less power despite having more compute units, which is consistent with its newer process node and lower memory overhead.

Where Each One Wins

The RX 7700S has clear advantages in areas that the recorded data can substantiate. Its dedicated 8 GB GDDR6 memory with 288.0 GB/s bandwidth provides consistent memory performance that does not depend on system RAM configuration. The 8065S, with system shared memory, has bandwidth described as system dependent, meaning its memory throughput varies with the host platform. For workloads that stress memory bandwidth, the RX 7700S offers a fixed, known quantity.

The RX 7700S also delivers higher raw floating-point throughput in some metrics. Its FP32 performance is 20.48 TFLOPS, compared to 15.36 TFLOPS for the 8065S. In FP16, the RX 7700S reaches 40.96 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio, while the 8065S achieves 15.36 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio. For compute workloads that use FP16 heavily, the RX 7700S has a substantial throughput advantage.

The 8065S counters with advantages in geometry processing and memory bandwidth independence. Its pixel rate is 192.0 GPixel/s versus 160.0 GPixel/s for the RX 7700S. Its texture rate is 480.0 GTexel/s versus 320.0 GTexel/s. The higher boost clock of 3,000 MHz, compared to 2,500 MHz for the RX 7700S, helps drive these fill rate advantages. The 8065S also has more shading units, more TMUs, and more ray tracing cores, which can benefit workloads that scale with those resources.

The PCIe interface differs as well. The 8065S uses PCIe 5.0 x16, while the RX 7700S uses PCIe 4.0 x16. The newer interface provides greater potential bandwidth to the host system, which matters for the 8065S given its reliance on shared system memory.

In practical terms, the RX 7700S is better suited for scenarios requiring consistent, dedicated memory performance and higher compute throughput. The 8065S is better suited for scenarios where lower power consumption, higher fill rates, and a larger number of compute units matter, provided the host system supplies adequate shared memory bandwidth.
