AMD Radeon 8065S vs AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data does not include any direct head-to-head benchmark runs between the AMD Radeon 8065S and the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE. The database lists no shared test results, no comparative scores, and no win counts for either product. This absence is itself informative: the 8065S carries an average benchmark score of 0 and sits at the 50th percentile among all GPUs, while the RX 9070 GRE holds an average benchmark score of 57367 and ranks at the 87th percentile. The RX 9070 GRE has two recorded benchmark entries: a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5424 and a Geekbench OpenCL score of 109309. The 8065S has no recorded benchmark entries whatsoever.

Because no direct comparison exists, the nearest rivals of the RX 9070 GRE provide useful context. The Intel Arc A580 averages 57756, which is 0.7% higher than the RX 9070 GRE. The AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM averages 58085, 1.2% higher. The Intel Arc A570M averages 58239, 1.5% higher. The AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT averages 58392, 1.8% higher. These deltas place the RX 9070 GRE just below a cluster of similarly performing cards, with the largest gap being less than two percentage points. The 8065S, by contrast, has no rival data at all, meaning its relative standing cannot be quantified from the database.

The benchmark scores that do exist for the RX 9070 GRE indicate strong performance in both synthetic rasterization and compute workloads. The 3DMark Steel Nomad result of 5424 reflects a modern DX12 test, while the Geekbench OpenCL result of 109309 shows substantial general-purpose compute throughput. No equivalent figures exist for the 8065S, so any direct numerical comparison between the two cards is impossible from the available facts.

Architecture Differences

The two AMD GPUs come from different architectural generations and target different market segments. The Radeon 8065S uses the Gorgon Halo chip built on RDNA 3.5, belongs to the Navi Mobile (RX 8000M) generation, and is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Radeon RX 9070 GRE uses the Navi 48 chip built on RDNA 4.0, belongs to the Navi IV (RX 9000) generation, and is also fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. Both share the same process node and foundry, but the underlying architectures differ by one full revision.

The transistor counts diverge sharply. The RX 9070 GRE contains 53,900 million transistors on a 357 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 151.0M per mm². The 8065S lists its transistor count as unknown but occupies a 308 mm² die, which is 49 mm² smaller than the RX 9070 GRE. The smaller die area suggests a leaner implementation, though without a transistor figure the density cannot be calculated. The die size difference implies the RX 9070 GRE has more physical resources to draw upon, consistent with its higher shading unit count.

The 8065S integrates memory as system shared, meaning it has no dedicated VRAM, no fixed memory bus width, and no independent memory bandwidth. Its memory bandwidth is listed as system dependent. The RX 9070 GRE, by contrast, carries 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192 bit bus, with a bandwidth of 432.0 GB/s and a memory clock of 2250 MHz, 18 Gbps effective. This is a fundamental architectural split: one card relies entirely on host system memory, while the other has its own high-bandwidth pool.

The shading resources also differ. The 8065S has 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, 64 ROPs, and 40 ray tracing cores. The RX 9070 GRE has 3072 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, 96 ROPs, and 48 ray tracing cores. Across every counted resource, the RX 9070 GRE holds a numerical advantage. The 8065S operates at a base clock of 1295 MHz and a boost clock of 3000 MHz, while the RX 9070 GRE has a base clock of 1420 MHz, a game clock of 2220 MHz, and a boost clock of 2790 MHz. The 8065S boosts higher, but the RX 9070 GRE starts from a higher base and maintains a defined game clock.

Pixel and texture rates reflect the resource counts. The 8065S delivers 192.0 GPixel/s and 480.0 GTexel/s. The RX 9070 GRE delivers 267.8 GPixel/s and 535.7 GTexel/s. Floating point throughput shows the largest gap: the 8065S reaches 15.36 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16, while the RX 9070 GRE reaches 34.28 TFLOPS for both. That is more than double the raw compute of the 8065S. Both cards support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API coverage is identical.

Memory configurations are entirely different: system shared for the 8065S versus 12 GB GDDR6 on a 192 bit bus at 432.0 GB/s for the RX 9070 GRE. The 8065S has 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 40 RT cores. The RX 9070 GRE has 3072 shading units, 192 TMUs, 96 ROPs, and 48 RT cores.

Pixel rate is 192.0 GPixel/s for the 8065S versus 267.8 GPixel/s for the RX 9070 GRE. Texture rate is 480.0 GTexel/s versus 535.7 GTexel/s. FP32 and FP16 throughput is 15.36 TFLOPS versus 34.28 TFLOPS. The 8065S has a 55 W TDP, is an IGP form factor, and uses no power connectors. The RX 9070 GRE has a 220 W TDP, is dual-slot, and uses two 8-pin connectors with a suggested PSU of 550 W.

The 8065S display outputs are portable device dependent, while the RX 9070 GRE has 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1a. Both use PCIe 5.0 x16. Release dates differ: the 8065S was released on 2025-12-31, while the RX 9070 GRE was released on 2025-05-07. The 8065S has no launch MSRP, while the RX 9070 GRE has a launch MSRP of 549 USD. The 8065S has no recorded benchmarks, no average score, and no nearest rivals. The RX 9070 GRE has two benchmark scores, an average of 57367, and four nearest rivals within 1.8% of its score.

Where Each One Wins

Based on the recorded data, the RX 9070 GRE wins in every quantified category. It has more shading units, more TMUs, more ROPs, more RT cores, higher pixel rate, higher texture rate, more than double the FP32 and FP16 throughput, dedicated memory with 432.0 GB/s bandwidth, and a higher average benchmark score of 57367. Its percentile ranking of 87 places it well above the 8065S at the 50th percentile. The RX 9070 GRE also has recorded benchmark results in both 3DMark Steel Nomad and Geekbench OpenCL, giving it a measurable performance footprint in the database.

The 8065S wins only in areas where the RX 9070 GRE does not compete. It has a higher boost clock of 3000 MHz versus 2790 MHz, a lower TDP of 55 W versus 220 W, and a smaller die at 308 mm² versus 357 mm². It requires no power connectors, which means it can operate in portable devices where a discrete card cannot fit. Its system shared memory approach eliminates the need for dedicated VRAM, and its IGP form factor allows integration into laptops or compact systems.

The RX 9070 GRE also leads in generation and architecture: RDNA 4.0 versus RDNA 3.5, and Navi IV versus Navi Mobile. Its 12 GB of GDDR6 memory provides a fixed, high-bandwidth resource that the 8065S cannot match with system dependent memory. The RX 9070 GRE supports multiple display outputs including HDMI 2.1b and DisplayPort 2.1a, whereas the 8065S output configuration depends entirely on the host device.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear split by use case. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE is the choice for any scenario requiring maximum compute, dedicated memory, and strong benchmark results. Its 34.28 TFLOPS FP32 throughput, 432.0 GB/s memory bandwidth, and 87th percentile ranking place it in a different performance class than the 8065S. Its nearest rivals, all within 1.8% of its average score, include the Intel Arc A580, the AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM, the Intel Arc A570M, and the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT. The RX 9070 GRE slots into a competitive mid-to-high range segment with measurable results.

The AMD Radeon 8065S targets a different environment entirely. Its 55 W TDP, IGP form factor, no power connectors, and system shared memory indicate a design for portable or integrated systems. Its 3000 MHz boost clock is the highest among the two, but without dedicated memory or a fixed bandwidth figure, its real-world performance remains dependent on the host system. The lack of any benchmark scores or nearest rivals means the database cannot verify its actual throughput against other GPUs.

For users who need a discrete graphics card with proven performance, the RX 9070 GRE is the only option with recorded data. For users who need an integrated solution in a portable device, the 8065S is the only option that fits the IGP specification. The RX 9070 GRE has a launch MSRP of 549 USD. The 8065S has no launch MSRP listed. Both cards remain in active production, and both support DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The choice comes down to form factor and power envelope versus raw compute and dedicated memory. The database shows only one of these cards with measurable performance, and that card is the RX 9070 GRE.
