AMD Radeon 860M vs Lisuan Tech LX MAX Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data draws a clear separation between these two parts based on their intended operating environments. The AMD Radeon 860M is an integrated graphics processor, built into a mobile chip with a 15 W power envelope. Its benchmark results come from two recorded tests: Geekbench OpenCL at 22,759 points and Geekbench Vulkan at 30,043 points. These scores place it in the 72nd percentile of all GPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 26,401. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX, by contrast, is a discrete dual-slot card with a 225 W power draw, 12 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, and 4,320.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, which means its wins cannot be measured directly against the Radeon 860M in any head-to-head test.

The Radeon 860M wins in the integrated and low-power segment. Its 15 W TDP, PCIe 4.0 x8 bus interface, and lack of external power connectors make it suitable for portable devices where space and cooling are constrained. The data shows no dedicated memory, as it relies on system shared memory with bandwidth described as system dependent. The LX MAX wins in the discrete, high-throughput segment. It uses a 6 nm process node, a 192-bit memory bus, and 12 GB of GDDR6 memory, which gives it a fixed memory bandwidth of 432.0 GB/s. The LX MAX also carries 1x 16-pin power connector and a suggested PSU of 550 W, which indicates a desktop-oriented design. The Radeon 860M has no suggested PSU, as it draws power from the host system.

The use-case split is therefore defined by form factor and memory architecture. For systems where the CPU integrates graphics and the total power budget is tight, the Radeon 860M is the only option that fits the data. For systems that require a dedicated expansion card with its own video memory, the LX MAX is the only option. The Radeon 860M delivers 3.072 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, while the LX MAX delivers 24.58 TFLOPS. The LX MAX also has a higher pixel rate at 192.0 GPixel/s versus 48.00 GPixel/s for the Radeon 860M, and a higher texture rate at 384.0 GTexel/s versus 96.00 GTexel/s. These figures indicate that the LX MAX is designed for workloads that demand sustained throughput, while the Radeon 860M is designed for efficiency within a shared memory environment.

Architecture Differences

The two parts come from different architectural lineages. The Radeon 860M uses the RDNA 3.5 architecture, built on a 4 nm process node at TSMC. It belongs to the Navi III IGP generation, specifically the Strix Point Mobile lineup, with the chip name Krackan Point. The LX MAX uses the TrueGPU architecture, built on a 6 nm process node also at TSMC, with the chip name 7G106 and generation 7G100. The process node difference is notable: 4 nm versus 6 nm. The Radeon 860M also lists its predecessor as Navi II IGP, while the LX MAX has no predecessor recorded.

The compute resources differ substantially. The Radeon 860M has 512 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, 16 raster output units, and 8 ray tracing cores. The LX MAX has 6,144 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, and 96 raster output units. The LX MAX does not list ray tracing cores in its data. The Radeon 860M has a base clock of 600 MHz and a boost clock of 3000 MHz. The LX MAX has no base or boost clock recorded, but its memory runs at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective speed. The clock structure is different: the Radeon 860M has explicit GPU clocks, while the LX MAX has only memory clocks in the database.

Memory architecture is a major divider. The Radeon 860M uses system shared memory for size, type, and bus width, with bandwidth listed as system dependent. The LX MAX uses 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus with a fixed 432.0 GB/s bandwidth. The FP32 and FP16 ratios differ as well. The Radeon 860M delivers 3.072 TFLOPS in both FP32 and FP16, indicating a 1:1 ratio. The LX MAX delivers 24.58 TFLOPS in FP32 and 49.15 TFLOPS in FP16, indicating a 2:1 ratio. This suggests the LX MAX has dedicated half-precision throughput, while the Radeon 860M does not.

API support shows a slight difference. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) and OpenGL 4.6. The Radeon 860M supports Vulkan 1.4, while the LX MAX supports Vulkan 1.3. The bus interface differs: PCIe 4.0 x8 for the Radeon 860M and PCIe 4.0 x16 for the LX MAX. The LX MAX also has a physical slot width of dual-slot and dimensions of 248 mm length, 118 mm height, and 48 mm width. The Radeon 860M is listed as an IGP with no dimensions. The LX MAX has 4x DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, while the Radeon 860M has portable device dependent display outputs.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for these two parts, and the wins counters are zero for both. The only benchmark data available belongs to the Radeon 860M: 22,759 in Geekbench OpenCL and 30,043 in Geekbench Vulkan. The LX MAX has an empty benchmarks array and an average benchmark score of zero. This means no direct comparison can be made from recorded test results.

The nearest rivals for the Radeon 860M provide context for its scores. Its average benchmark score of 26,401 sits within a narrow band of comparable parts. The NVIDIA GeForce MX550 has an average score of 26,421, which is 0.1% higher than the Radeon 860M. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 has an average score of 26,331, which is 0.3% lower. The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary scores 26,553, which is 0.6% higher. The NVIDIA RTX A4000 scores 26,683, which is 1.1% higher. These deltas are all within about one percent, indicating that the Radeon 860M performs at a level comparable to these discrete and semi-discrete parts in the database's average scoring.

The LX MAX has no nearest rivals recorded and no percentile rank beyond the 50th percentile, which is the default for an unranked part with no scores. The data cannot show where the LX MAX stands relative to any other GPU. Its theoretical specifications, such as 24.58 TFLOPS FP32 and 432.0 GB/s memory bandwidth, are present, but no measured benchmark confirms or refutes those figures. The Radeon 860M, by contrast, has confirmed scores from two separate test runs. The Vulkan score of 30,043 is significantly higher than its OpenCL score of 22,759, a difference that suggests the architecture handles Vulkan workloads more efficiently in the recorded tests.

The biggest "win" in the data is the LX MAX's specification sheet over the Radeon 860M in raw throughput. The FP32 figure is 24.58 TFLOPS versus 3.072 TFLOPS, an eightfold difference. The texture rate is 384.0 GTexel/s versus 96.00 GTexel/s, a fourfold difference. The pixel rate is 192.0 GPixel/s versus 48.00 GPixel/s, also a fourfold difference. The memory bandwidth is 432.0 GB/s versus system dependent, which means the LX MAX has a fixed, dedicated bandwidth while the Radeon 860M depends on the host system's memory configuration. The Radeon 860M's wins are in efficiency and portability: 15 W versus 225 W, IGP slot width versus dual-slot, no power connectors versus 1x 16-pin, and no suggested PSU versus 550 W.

The Verdict

The data indicates that these two products serve entirely different markets, and the choice between them depends on the host system rather than on performance preferences. The Radeon 860M is an integrated GPU with a 15 W TDP, system shared memory, and a release date of 2025-02-28. Its benchmark scores place it at the 72nd percentile of all GPUs, with an average score of 26,401 that is within 1.1% of several discrete rivals. The LX MAX is a discrete dual-slot card with a 225 W TDP, 12 GB GDDR6, and a release date of 2026-03-16. It has no benchmark scores in the database, so its actual performance cannot be verified from the recorded data.

For a portable device that relies on shared system memory and has a tight power budget, the Radeon 860M is the only option that matches the recorded specifications. Its 4 nm process node, 8 ray tracing cores, and Vulkan 1.4 support give it features that fit a modern integrated part. Its 3.072 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput and 48.00 GPixel/s pixel rate are modest but consistent with a 15 W envelope. For a desktop system with a dedicated power supply, a 16-pin connector, and space for a 248 mm dual-slot card, the LX MAX is the only option. Its 24.58 TFLOPS FP32, 432.0 GB/s bandwidth, and 192.0 GPixel/s pixel rate represent a much higher theoretical ceiling. The absence of recorded benchmarks for the LX MAX means its real-world performance is unknown in the database.

The Radeon 860M's nearest rival data shows that it competes closely with parts like the NVIDIA GeForce MX550 and the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary, all within 0.6% of its average score. This suggests that the Radeon 860M, despite being integrated, lands in a performance class that historically belonged to discrete entry-level cards. The LX MAX has no such comparative data. The verdict from the data is straightforward: the Radeon 860M is for systems that cannot accommodate a discrete card, and the LX MAX is for systems that require one. Neither part can substitute for the other based on the recorded information.
