AMD Radeon 8065S vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile Comparison

The Verdict

The database places the AMD Radeon 8065S at the 50th percentile among all GPUs, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile sits at the 73rd percentile. That percentile gap is the clearest single indicator of overall standing. The NVIDIA part has recorded benchmark scores across multiple tests, with an average benchmark score of 27,435. The AMD part currently has no recorded benchmark scores, an average benchmark score of 0, and no rival comparisons.

For workloads where compute and rasterization are the priority, the RTX 4070 Mobile is the only one of the two with measured performance data. Its nearest rival in the database is the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, which has an average score of 27,425 and a delta of 0 percent, meaning the RTX 4070 Mobile is effectively tied with that desktop GPU. It sits 0.5 percent ahead of the GeForce RTX 3090 and 1.1 percent behind the RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell. These comparisons locate the NVIDIA part in a strong performance tier.

The AMD Radeon 8065S, by contrast, is an integrated graphics processor with a 55 W TDP. It is built for a different power envelope entirely. The data does not support a claim that it outperforms the RTX 4070 Mobile in any measured workload, because no measurements exist. The verdict from the database is straightforward: the RTX 4070 Mobile is the only one of the two that can be evaluated quantitatively, and its position is strong. The Radeon 8065S is an unmeasured, low-power integrated solution whose potential remains undefined in the records.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different manufacturers and different design philosophies. The AMD Radeon 8065S uses the Gorgon Halo chip with RDNA 3.5 architecture, manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The die size is 308 mm². The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile uses the AD106 chip with Ada Lovelace architecture, also built by TSMC but on a 5 nm process. The NVIDIA die is 188 mm² and contains 22,900 million transistors, giving a transistor density of 121.8 million per mm². AMD's transistor count is listed as unknown.

The AMD part belongs to the Navi Mobile (RX 8000M) generation, with its predecessor listed as Polaris Mobile. The NVIDIA part is in the GeForce 40 Mobile generation, succeeding the GeForce 30 Mobile and preceding the GeForce 50 Mobile. The RTX 4070 Mobile has a release date in early 2023, while the Radeon 8065S has a release date at the end of 2025.

Shading unit counts differ substantially. The Radeon 8065S has 2,560 shading units, while the RTX 4070 Mobile has 4,608. Texture mapping units are 160 versus 144 in favor of AMD. Raster operation units are 64 versus 48 in favor of AMD. Ray tracing cores number 40 on the AMD part and 36 on the NVIDIA part. The NVIDIA GPU also has 144 tensor cores, a feature class the AMD part does not list. These architectural choices point to different design targets: NVIDIA allocates more shader resources and tensor hardware, while AMD allocates more TMUs and ROPs.

Clock behavior differs sharply. The Radeon 8065S has a base clock of 1295 MHz and a boost clock of 3000 MHz, a very wide boost range. The RTX 4070 Mobile has a base clock of 1395 MHz and a boost clock of 1695 MHz, a much narrower range. The NVIDIA memory clock is listed as 2000 MHz with 16 Gbps effective speed. AMD's memory clock is listed as "System Shared," reflecting an integrated design.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark table in the database is empty, and the wins counters show zero for both sides. The only benchmark data available belongs to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile. That data must therefore serve as the basis for any comparative analysis, with the AMD Radeon 8065S contributing no measured scores.

The RTX 4070 Mobile's strongest recorded results come from the Geekbench suite. Its OpenCL score is 109,197, and its Vulkan score is 108,367. These two scores are nearly identical, suggesting consistent compute performance across different API paths. The PassMark G3D score of 19,587 represents the rasterization-oriented workload, while the PassMark GPU Compute score of 8,399 covers general compute. PassMark DirectX 9 shows 223, DirectX 11 shows 179, and DirectX 12 shows 85. The DirectX 10 score is 116. The PassMark G2D score of 763 covers 2D graphics operations.

The average benchmark score of 27,435 places the RTX 4070 Mobile in a tight cluster of rivals. The AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT averages 27,425, a delta of 0 percent, meaning the two are statistically indistinguishable. The GeForce RTX 3090 averages 27,565, which is 0.5 percent higher than the RTX 4070 Mobile. The RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell averages 27,135, which is 1.1 percent lower. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20 averages 27,839, which is 1.5 percent higher. These deltas are all small, indicating that the RTX 4070 Mobile performs in a very competitive band.

For the AMD Radeon 8065S, the database shows no benchmarks, no nearest rivals, and a percentile of 50, which is the median position by default rather than by measured achievement. Its theoretical peak rates are high: 192.0 GPixel/s pixel rate and 480.0 GTexel/s texture rate exceed the RTX 4070 Mobile's 81.36 GPixel/s and 244.1 GTexel/s. Its FP32 of 15.36 TFLOPS is close to the RTX 4070 Mobile's 15.62 TFLOPS. These raw figures suggest the AMD integrated part can reach high throughput at its 3000 MHz boost clock, but the absence of recorded benchmark scores means those theoretical rates have not been validated in the database. The RTX 4070 Mobile, by contrast, demonstrates its performance across nine separate tests, with its average score placing it among strong discrete desktop and mobile parts from prior generations.
