AMD Radeon 890M vs Lisuan Tech LX ULTRA

The AMD Radeon 890M is an integrated graphics processor built on the Strix Point chip, using RDNA 3.5 architecture on a 4 nm TSMC process. The Lisuan Tech LX ULTRA is a discrete, dual-slot graphics card with a 7G105 chip, TrueGPU architecture, and a 6 nm TSMC process. These two products occupy different segments of the GPU market, and the recorded benchmark data reflects that divide, though the LX ULTRA has no benchmark scores listed in the database. The 890M holds a percentile rank of 45 among all GPUs, while the LX ULTRA is placed at the 50th percentile, a modest difference that does not account for the substantial gap in raw specifications.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the AMD Radeon 890M and the Lisuan Tech LX ULTRA are not available in the database. No shared test results exist that pit these two units against each other. The 890M has a set of ten recorded benchmark scores, while the LX ULTRA has none. This absence of comparative data means any assessment of relative performance must rely on the 890M's individual results and the architectural specifications of the LX ULTRA.

The AMD Radeon 890M delivers an average benchmark score of 9210 across its recorded tests. Its nearest rival in the database, the AMD Radeon Vega 8, posts an average score of 9221, which places the 890M at a delta of -0.1 percent, effectively a tie. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 scores 9273, putting the 890M 0.7 percent behind. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 465 reaches 9294, a 0.9 percent advantage over the 890M, and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 850M scores 9302, leaving the 890M 1 percent behind. These four rivals all fall within a narrow band around the 890M's score, indicating that the integrated Radeon performs at a level comparable to those older discrete and integrated solutions.

In specific workloads, the 890M shows clear strengths. The Geekbench Vulkan test returns a score of 40808, which is its highest recorded result. Geekbench OpenCL follows at 37254. These two scores indicate that the 890M handles compute-oriented tasks with reasonable efficiency for an integrated part. The Passmark G3D score of 8076 provides a general gaming-oriented measurement, while Passmark G2D reaches 979. Passmark GPU Compute scores 4157, which is roughly half of the G3D figure, suggesting that pure compute throughput is more limited than graphics rendering. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test yields 590 points, a relatively low result that reflects the integrated nature of the 890M under demanding modern API workloads.

Older DirectX tests show mixed results. Passmark DirectX 9 scores 97, while DirectX 11 scores 73. DirectX 10 drops to 33, and DirectX 12 falls to 37. These numbers indicate that the 890M performs best under legacy DirectX 9 conditions and struggles more with DirectX 10 and 12 workloads. The variance across these API tests suggests driver optimization and architectural design favor certain rendering paths over others.

The LX ULTRA has no benchmark scores in the database, so no direct performance comparison is possible. Its percentile rank of 50 versus the 890M's 45 implies a slight overall standing, but without recorded test results, this ranking cannot be substantiated with specific numbers. The absence of data for the LX ULTRA means that any claims about its real-world performance must be inferred from its specifications, not from measured results.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon 890M uses the Strix Point chip with RDNA 3.5 architecture, fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The die contains 34,000 million transistors across a 233 mm² area, yielding a transistor density of 145.9 million per square millimeter. This is a dense, power-efficient design intended for integration into a mobile or compact system. The 890M is labeled as an IGP, meaning it shares system memory and has no dedicated VRAM. Its memory bandwidth is system dependent, which limits performance in memory-intensive scenarios.

The Lisuan Tech LX ULTRA takes a fundamentally different approach. It uses the 7G105 chip with TrueGPU architecture on a 6 nm TSMC process. The database lists transistor count and die size as unknown, so no density figure is available. The LX ULTRA is a discrete card with 24 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Memory runs at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective speed. This dedicated memory subsystem gives the LX ULTRA a massive advantage in bandwidth and capacity over the 890M, which relies on shared system memory.

Shading units differ substantially. The 890M has 1024 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 render output units. It includes 16 ray tracing cores. The LX ULTRA has 6144 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, and 96 render output units. The LX ULTRA does not list ray tracing cores in the database, so its ray tracing capability is unspecified. The pixel rate for the 890M is 92.80 GPixel/s, while the LX ULTRA reaches 192.0 GPixel/s. Texture rates are 185.6 GTexel/s for the 890M and 384.0 GTexel/s for the LX ULTRA. These raw throughput figures show the LX ULTRA operating at roughly twice the pixel and texture rate of the 890M.

Compute performance diverges even further. The 890M delivers 5.939 TFLOPS for FP32 operations, with FP16 at the same 5.939 TFLOPS on a 1:1 ratio. The LX ULTRA achieves 24.58 TFLOPS for FP32 and 49.15 TFLOPS for FP16, with a 2:1 ratio. This means the LX ULTRA has more than four times the FP32 throughput of the 890M and more than eight times the FP16 throughput. The 2:1 FP16 ratio on the LX ULTRA indicates dedicated hardware acceleration for half-precision workloads, whereas the 890M processes FP16 at the same rate as FP32.

The 890M runs at a base clock of 400 MHz and a boost clock of 2900 MHz. The LX ULTRA has no base or boost clock listed in the database. Power consumption differs enormously: the 890M has a TDP of 15 W, while the LX ULTRA draws 225 W. The 890M requires no power connectors, while the LX ULTRA uses a single 16-pin connector and a suggested 550 W power supply. The 890M is an IGP with no slot width, while the LX ULTRA is a dual-slot card measuring 268 mm in length, 112 mm in height, and 40 mm in width.

Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) and OpenGL 4.6. Vulkan support differs: the 890M supports Vulkan 1.4, while the LX ULTRA supports Vulkan 1.3. The bus interface also differs, with the 890M using PCIe 4.0 x8 and the LX ULTRA using PCIe 4.0 x16. The LX ULTRA has four DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, while the 890M's display outputs are portable device dependent.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon 890M wins in power efficiency and integration. Its 15 W TDP makes it suitable for compact systems with no dedicated power connectors. The 4 nm process and dense transistor layout allow it to fit into an IGP form factor. It has a higher boost clock at 2900 MHz, and its Vulkan 1.4 support is newer than the LX ULTRA's Vulkan 1.3. The 890M has recorded benchmark scores that place it near the AMD Radeon Vega 8 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960, so it offers known, measurable performance for light gaming and compute tasks. Its FP16 performance matches its FP32 performance on a 1:1 ratio, which can be useful in workloads that do not heavily leverage half-precision.

The Lisuan Tech LX ULTRA wins decisively in raw performance and memory capacity. Its 24 GB of GDDR6 memory with 432.0 GB/s bandwidth dwarfs the 890M's shared memory setup. The LX ULTRA has six times the shading units, three times the texture mapping units, and three times the render output units of the 890M. Its FP32 throughput of 24.58 TFLOPS and FP16 throughput of 49.15 TFLOPS place it in a completely different performance class. The 192.0 GPixel/s pixel rate and 384.0 GTexel/s texture rate indicate strong fill-rate capabilities. The dual-slot design with four DisplayPort 1.4a outputs makes it suitable for multi-monitor setups. The LX ULTRA also has a wider PCIe 4.0 x16 interface, doubling the bus bandwidth of the 890M's x8 connection.

The 890M is the only one of the two with any benchmark data. Its average score of 9210 and its position near established GPUs like the GTX 960 provide a reference point. The LX ULTRA's percentile rank of 50 versus the 890M's 45 suggests it is placed slightly higher in the overall distribution, but without test results, this is not confirmed by measured performance.

The Verdict

The data presents two GPUs with fundamentally different roles. The AMD Radeon 890M is an integrated solution with a 15 W TDP, no power connectors, and a 4 nm process. It performs at a level comparable to the AMD Radeon Vega 8 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960, with an average benchmark score of 9210. Its highest recorded scores come from Geekbench Vulkan at 40808 and Geekbench OpenCL at 37254, indicating decent compute capability for its class. It is best suited for systems where power draw and physical footprint are primary constraints.

The Lisuan Tech LX ULTRA is a discrete, dual-slot card with 24 GB of GDDR6 memory, 6144 shading units, and 24.58 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. It requires a 225 W TDP, a 16-pin power connector, and a 550 W suggested power supply. Its specifications point to a much higher performance ceiling, but the database records no benchmark scores to confirm this. The LX ULTRA's 432.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 192.0 GPixel/s pixel rate suggest it can handle demanding rendering and compute workloads that would overwhelm the 890M.

A user choosing between these two would be selecting between an efficient integrated GPU with verified results and a high-spec discrete GPU with unverified performance. The 890M offers known quantities: specific scores, a clear percentile rank, and a lightweight footprint. The LX ULTRA offers superior specifications on paper, but its actual benchmark behavior is absent from the database. The choice depends on whether measured performance or listed specifications take priority. For systems with severe power and space limits, the 890M is the documented option. For systems that can accommodate a large, power-hungry card and require high memory bandwidth and compute throughput, the LX ULTRA is the specification-driven pick.
