AMD Radeon 8065S vs AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP Comparison

The Verdict

The database contains benchmark results for only one of the two GPUs. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP has recorded scores in Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan, along with an average benchmark score of 63830. The AMD Radeon 8065S has no benchmark entries and an average score of 0. Consequently, the RX 9060 XT LP holds a decisive advantage in measured performance. Its 89th percentile ranking among all GPUs places it well above the 8065S, which sits at the 50th percentile. For any workload represented by these tests, the RX 9060 XT LP is the only option with verifiable performance data. The 8065S cannot be recommended for tasks where benchmark scores matter, as no measurements exist to support such a choice.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural generations. The AMD Radeon 8065S uses RDNA 3.5 architecture and is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. Its chip, codenamed Gorgon Halo, belongs to the Navi Mobile (RX 8000M) generation. The die size is 308 mm². The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP uses RDNA 4.0 architecture, also on a 4 nm TSMC process, with a Navi 44 chip from the Navi IV (RX 9000) generation. Its die size is 199 mm², and the transistor count is 29,700 million, giving a density of 149.2M per mm². The 8065S transistor count is listed as unknown.

Core configurations differ substantially. The 8065S has 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, 64 raster output pipelines, and 40 ray tracing cores. The RX 9060 XT LP has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 raster output pipelines, and 32 ray tracing cores. Despite having fewer shaders, the RX 9060 XT LP achieves higher raw compute figures. Its FP32 throughput is 24.99 TFLOPS, compared to 15.36 TFLOPS for the 8065S. FP16 performance matches the FP32 ratio at 1:1 for both, with 24.99 TFLOPS and 15.36 TFLOPS respectively. Pixel rates are close: 195.2 GPixel/s for the RX 9060 XT LP versus 192.0 GPixel/s for the 8065S. Texture rate favors the 8065S at 480.0 GTexel/s, versus 390.4 GTexel/s for the RX 9060 XT LP.

Clock behavior is another differentiator. The 8065S has a base clock of 1295 MHz and a boost clock of 3000 MHz. The RX 9060 XT LP has a base of 1380 MHz, a boost of 3050 MHz, and a game clock of 2450 MHz. Memory architecture is fundamentally different. The 8065S uses system shared memory, with bandwidth described as system dependent. The RX 9060 XT LP has 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128 bit bus, delivering 322.3 GB/s of bandwidth. The memory clock for the RX 9060 XT LP is 2518 MHz, or 20.1 Gbps effective.

Power and physical specifications also diverge. The 8065S has a TDP of 55 W, is integrated into the package as an IGP, requires no power connectors, and has display outputs dependent on the portable device. The RX 9060 XT LP has a TDP of 140 W, occupies a dual-slot form factor, uses a single 8-pin power connector, and suggests a 300 W power supply. Both use PCIe 5.0 x16 interfaces. Display outputs on the RX 9060 XT LP include one HDMI 2.1b and two DisplayPort 2.1a connectors. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The 8065S lists Polaris Mobile as its predecessor, while the RX 9060 XT LP lists Navi III. Both are marked as active in production.

Where Each One Wins

The RX 9060 XT LP wins in every measured category because it is the only GPU in this comparison with recorded benchmark data. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 88183 and Geekbench Vulkan score of 39476 provide concrete evidence of its performance. The 8065S has no comparable figures. For compute-heavy tasks that resemble OpenCL workloads, the RX 9060 XT LP shows a clear advantage. Its 24.99 TFLOPS FP32 output suggests strong raw compute capability, and its dedicated 16 GB GDDR6 memory with 322.3 GB/s bandwidth provides a substantial advantage over system shared memory. The RX 9060 XT LP also has a higher boost clock at 3050 MHz and a higher pixel rate at 195.2 GPixel/s.

The 8065S holds advantages in specific architectural counts. It has more shading units, more texture mapping units, and more ray tracing cores. Its texture rate of 480.0 GTexel/s exceeds the RX 9060 XT LP's 390.4 GTexel/s. Its power draw is far lower at 55 W, which suits compact portable devices. However, these advantages are not reflected in any benchmark score. The RX 9060 XT LP's 89th percentile ranking and average score of 63830 indicate that its architectural choices deliver measurable results. The 8065S has no wins in the recorded data.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark list is empty, so the comparison relies on the recorded benchmarks for the RX 9060 XT LP. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 88183 is the higher of its two results. Its Geekbench Vulkan score of 39476 is notably lower, indicating that OpenCL workloads extract more performance from this GPU than Vulkan workloads do. The 8065S has no scores in either test, so it cannot be directly compared on these metrics.

The RX 9060 XT LP's nearest rivals provide context for its standing. Its average score of 63830 places it 0.1% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 7600M, which averages 63775. It is 0.2% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56, which averages 63693. The NVIDIA CMP 30HX essentially matches it, with a score of 63842 and a delta of 0%. The AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100 leads slightly, with a score of 64212 and a delta of -0.6% from the RX 9060 XT LP's perspective. These margins are small, indicating the RX 9060 XT LP sits in a tightly contested performance band.

The architectural data reinforces the benchmark gap. The RX 9060 XT LP's FP32 throughput of 24.99 TFLOPS exceeds the 8065S's 15.36 TFLOPS by a substantial margin. Its pixel rate of 195.2 GPixel/s edges out the 8065S's 192.0 GPixel/s. Memory bandwidth is where the gap widens: the RX 9060 XT LP's 322.3 GB/s dedicated bandwidth stands against the 8065S's system dependent shared memory. The 8065S counters with a higher texture rate of 480.0 GTexel/s versus 390.4 GTexel/s, and more shading units at 2560 versus 2048.

The 8065S also draws far less power at 55 W versus 140 W, and its integrated design requires no power connector. The RX 9060 XT LP needs a single 8-pin connector and a 300 W power supply. These differences point to distinct design goals, but the recorded data only validates the RX 9060 XT LP. Its 89th percentile ranking among all GPUs, combined with an average score of 63830, establishes it as a measured performer. The 8065S, at the 50th percentile with no scores, remains unquantified. In any head-to-head comparison drawn from the database, the RX 9060 XT LP is the only GPU with results to examine.
