AMD Radeon 890M vs Lisuan Tech LX MAX Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains a complete benchmark profile for the AMD Radeon 890M, but the Lisuan Tech LX MAX currently has no recorded benchmark scores. This makes a direct numerical comparison impossible across any of the standard test suites. The 890M's average benchmark score is 9210, placing it in the 45th percentile of all GPUs. The LX MAX's average benchmark score is listed as 0, with a 50th percentile ranking, a figure that reflects the absence of test data rather than actual performance.

For the AMD Radeon 890M, the available measurements paint a mixed picture across API-specific tests. In 3DMark Steel Nomad (DX12), the 890M scores 590 points. Geekbench results are substantially higher in raw compute tasks: the OpenCL score is 37254, while the Vulkan score reaches 40808. PassMark results show a wide spread across DirectX versions, with DX9 scoring 97, DX11 scoring 73, and both DX10 and DX12 scoring 33 and 37 respectively. The PassMark G2D score of 979 and G3D score of 8076 indicate that the 890M handles 2D workloads far better than legacy DirectX gaming tests. The GPU compute score of 4157 reinforces the pattern that the 890M's compute throughput outpaces its rasterization performance in older APIs.

Without any LX MAX benchmark scores in the database, the head-to-head comparison must rely on architectural specifications and the relative positioning of the 890M against its nearest rivals. The 890M's nearest competitors include the AMD Radeon Vega 8 (average score 9221, delta -0.1%), the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 (average score 9273, delta -0.7%), the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 465 (average score 9294, delta -0.9%), and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 850M (average score 9302, delta -1%). These deltas show that the 890M sits within a narrow band of roughly 1% of these older discrete GPUs, meaning the integrated Radeon 890M delivers performance comparable to a mid-range discrete card from several generations ago.

The LX MAX, by contrast, has no nearest rivals listed and no benchmark scores, so its position in the database is defined entirely by its specifications. The FP32 throughput of 24.58 TFLOPS for the LX MAX is more than four times the 890M's 5.939 TFLOPS. The texture rate of 384.0 GTexel/s for the LX MAX more than doubles the 890M's 185.6 GTexel/s. Pixel rate for the LX MAX is 192.0 GPixel/s versus 92.80 GPixel/s for the 890M. These theoretical peak figures suggest a large performance gap, but the lack of measured results means the database cannot confirm how the LX MAX translates those specifications into real-world scores.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon 890M, based on the recorded data, wins in scenarios that favor low power consumption and integration. Its 15 W TDP and IGP form factor mean it can operate in portable devices without a dedicated power connector. The 890M's benchmark results show strength in compute-heavy workloads: the Geekbench OpenCL score of 37254 and Vulkan score of 40808 are the highest numbers in its benchmark set, indicating that compute and modern API tasks are where this GPU is most efficient. The PassMark G3D score of 8076, compared to the G2D score of 979, shows that 3D rendering performance is the 890M's primary asset, though the low DirectX 9-12 scores (ranging from 33 to 97) suggest older game APIs are not its forte.

The Lisuan Tech LX MAX, based on specifications alone, wins in scenarios requiring high raw throughput and dedicated memory. The 12 GB GDDR6 memory with a 192-bit bus and 432.0 GB/s bandwidth gives it a massive advantage over the 890M's system-shared memory, which has bandwidth described as "System Dependent." The LX MAX's 225 W TDP and dual-slot design with a single 16-pin power connector indicate it is built for desktop use where power delivery is not a constraint. The 4x DisplayPort 1.4a outputs allow multi-monitor setups, whereas the 890M's display outputs are "Portable Device Dependent." The LX MAX's PCIe 4.0 x16 interface doubles the lane count of the 890M's PCIe 4.0 x8, which matters for bandwidth-intensive workloads.

The architecture differences reinforce this split. The 890M uses RDNA 3.5 on a 4 nm TSMC process with 34,000 million transistors on a 233 mm² die. The LX MAX uses a TrueGPU architecture on a 6 nm TSMC process, with transistor count and die size listed as unknown. The 890M has 1024 shading units, 64 TMUs, and 32 ROPs, while the LX MAX has 6144 shading units, 192 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. The LX MAX also has 16 ray tracing cores, whereas the 890M's ray tracing core count is not listed. The LX MAX's FP16 throughput of 49.15 TFLOPS (2:1 ratio) doubles its FP32 rate, while the 890M's FP16 matches FP32 at 5.939 TFLOPS (1:1 ratio), indicating different compute priorities.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon 890M is built on the Strix Point chip using RDNA 3.5 architecture, manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The die measures 233 mm² and houses 34,000 million transistors, yielding a transistor density of 145.9M per mm². The GPU is part of the Navi III IGP generation and operates as an integrated graphics processor with a base clock of 400 MHz and a boost clock of 2900 MHz. Memory is system-shared, with the bus width, type, and size all listed as "System Shared." The 890M supports PCIe 4.0 x8 and has no power connectors, consistent with its 15 W TDP and IGP form factor.

The Lisuan Tech LX MAX uses the 7G106 chip with TrueGPU architecture, belonging to the 7G100 generation. It is fabricated on a 6 nm TSMC process, though transistor count and die size are not recorded in the database. The LX MAX features 12 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, with a memory clock of 2250 MHz and 18 Gbps effective speed, producing 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU has a 225 W TDP, uses a dual-slot design, and requires a single 16-pin power connector with a suggested PSU of 550 W. Its dimensions are 248 mm in length, 118 mm in height, and 48 mm in width. The LX MAX connects via PCIe 4.0 x16 and provides 4x DisplayPort 1.4a outputs.

Compute resources differ significantly. The 890M has 1024 shading units, 64 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and 16 ray tracing cores. The LX MAX has 6144 shading units, 192 TMUs, 96 ROPs, and no listed ray tracing cores. The pixel rate for the 890M is 92.80 GPixel/s versus 192.0 GPixel/s for the LX MAX. Texture rates are 185.6 GTexel/s and 384.0 GTexel/s respectively. FP32 performance is 5.939 TFLOPS for the 890M and 24.58 TFLOPS for the LX MAX. FP16 performance is 5.939 TFLOPS (1:1) for the 890M and 49.15 TFLOPS (2:1) for the LX MAX, showing that the LX MAX's architecture favors half-precision compute.

API support is similar but not identical. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) and OpenGL 4.6. The 890M supports Vulkan 1.4, while the LX MAX supports Vulkan 1.3. The 890M was released on 2024-07-14, and the LX MAX on 2026-03-16. The 890M's predecessor is listed as Navi II IGP, while the LX MAX has no predecessor listed. Production status for both is Active.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear distinction between these two products. The AMD Radeon 890M is an integrated GPU with a 15 W TDP, designed for portable devices where power efficiency and compactness take priority. Its benchmark scores, particularly the Geekbench Vulkan score of 40808 and OpenCL score of 37254, show that it delivers respectable compute performance within its power envelope. The 890M's nearest rivals, all with average scores within 1% of its 9210 average, confirm that it performs on par with older discrete GPUs like the GTX 960, despite being an IGP.

The Lisuan Tech LX MAX is a dedicated, dual-slot graphics card with a 225 W TDP, 12 GB GDDR6 memory, and a 192-bit bus. Its specifications indicate a much higher theoretical ceiling: 24.58 TFLOPS FP32, 432.0 GB/s bandwidth, and 6144 shading units. However, the database has no benchmark scores for this GPU, so its actual performance cannot be verified against the 890M or any other product. The 50th percentile ranking for the LX MAX is based on no measured data, making it a placeholder rather than a meaningful comparison point.

For users who need an integrated solution with confirmed benchmark results, the 890M is the only product with recorded performance data. For users who require a discrete GPU with dedicated memory and higher raw specifications, the LX MAX offers those features on paper, but the absence of test scores means its real-world behavior remains unverified. The release dates also differ, with the 890M launched in 2024 and the LX MAX in 2026, so the LX MAX is a newer product, but the database does not yet have the measurements to substantiate its capabilities.
