AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700 vs Lisuan Tech LX MAX Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data presents an unusual comparison. The AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700 has a full set of ten benchmark scores across 3DMark, Geekbench, and Passmark suites, while the Lisuan Tech LX MAX has no recorded benchmark scores at all. Consequently, the head-to-head win count sits at zero for both parts. The AMD card's average benchmark score is 23,315, placing it in the 69th percentile among all GPUs in the database. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX, by contrast, holds a 50th percentile ranking with an average score of zero, reflecting the absence of measured results.

The R9700's benchmark profile shows its strongest absolute result in Geekbench OpenCL at 118,202 points, followed by Vulkan at 63,550 points. In Passmark, the G3D score reaches 26,979, while GPU compute lands at 15,300. The older DirectX 9 and 11 tests produce 363 and 272 points respectively, with DirectX 10 at 155 and DirectX 12 at 83. The 2D test yields 1,236 points. These figures indicate a card that performs substantially better in compute-oriented workloads than in legacy rasterization tests, a pattern consistent with its RDNA 4.0 architecture.

For the Lisuan Tech LX MAX, the absence of benchmark data means no wins can be assigned. Its specifications suggest a different positioning, but without measured results, the database cannot confirm any performance advantage. The card's architecture, TrueGPU, and its 7G100 generation are recorded, yet no test scores validate its capabilities.

Architecture Differences

The two cards diverge fundamentally at the silicon level. The AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700 uses the Navi 48 chip built on RDNA 4.0 architecture, fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It contains 53,900 million transistors across a 357 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 151.0 million per square millimeter. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX employs the 7G106 chip with TrueGPU architecture, built on a 6 nm process also at TSMC. Its transistor count and die size are listed as unknown, and no density figure is available.

Memory configurations differ markedly. The R9700 carries 32 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus, delivering 644.6 GB/s of bandwidth at 20.1 Gbps effective. The LX MAX has 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, reaching 432.0 GB/s at 18 Gbps effective. This gives the AMD card more than twice the capacity and roughly 49% more bandwidth.

Compute resources show an interesting inversion. The LX MAX has 6,144 shading units against the R9700's 4,096, a 50% higher count. However, the R9700 has more texture mapping units, 256 versus 192, and more raster operation units, 128 versus 96. The AMD card includes 64 ray tracing cores, while the LX MAX lists no RT core count. Pixel rate favors the R9700 at 373.8 GPixel/s versus 192.0 GPixel/s, and texture rate favors it as well at 747.5 GTexel/s versus 384.0 GTexel/s.

Floating-point throughput presents a nuanced picture. The R9700 delivers 47.84 TFLOPS in both FP32 and FP16 with a 1:1 ratio. The LX MAX provides 24.58 TFLOPS in FP32 but doubles to 49.15 TFLOPS in FP16 with a 2:1 ratio, slightly exceeding the AMD card in half-precision work. Clock speeds are fully specified for the R9700, with a 1660 MHz base, 2350 MHz game clock, and 2920 MHz boost. The LX MAX has no recorded base, boost, or game clocks, only a memory clock of 2250 MHz.

Power and interface specifications also separate the pair. The R9700 has a 300 W TDP with a 700 W suggested PSU, while the LX MAX draws 225 W with a 550 W suggested PSU. Both use dual-slot coolers and a single 16-pin power connector. The R9700 runs on PCIe 5.0 x16, the LX MAX on PCIe 4.0 x16. Display outputs differ: the AMD card offers one HDMI 2.1b and three DisplayPort 2.1a ports, while the Lisuan card provides four DisplayPort 1.4a outputs. API support is similar for DirectX 12 Ultimate and OpenGL 4.6, but Vulkan support is 1.4 on the R9700 versus 1.3 on the LX MAX.

Physical dimensions show the R9700 longer at 267 mm versus 248 mm, but the LX MAX taller and thicker at 118 mm by 48 mm against 111 mm by 40 mm. The R9700 launched on July 22, 2025, with a launch MSRP of 1,299 USD. The LX MAX has a release date of March 16, 2026, and no launch MSRP recorded.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear distinction. The AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700 is a measured, active product with a complete benchmark record and a 69th percentile ranking. Its nearest rivals in the database are the AMD Radeon R9 M290X at 23,276 average score, the AMD Radeon RX 6600M at 23,273, the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 16 at 23,250, and the NVIDIA P106-100 at 23,249. The R9700 leads each by 0.2% to 0.3%, a narrow margin that places it statistically level with these older or lower-tier parts despite its modern architecture and large memory pool.

The Lisuan Tech LX MAX cannot be evaluated on performance grounds because no benchmark scores exist for it. Its 50th percentile ranking appears to be a placeholder rather than a measured position. The card's specifications indicate a different design philosophy: more shading units, higher FP16 throughput, and lower power draw, but with less memory, narrower bus, and slower bandwidth. Without recorded results, the database cannot confirm whether these specifications translate into competitive performance.

For users selecting between these two, the R9700 offers verified performance data across multiple test suites, a 32 GB frame buffer suitable for large datasets, and PCIe 5.0 connectivity. The LX MAX offers a newer release date, lower power requirements, and a compact form factor, but its performance remains unquantified. The data favors the AMD card for any application where measured results matter.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons cannot be constructed because the Lisuan Tech LX MAX has no recorded scores. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and the win counts for both cards are zero. The only quantitative comparison available comes from the R9700's own benchmark suite and its nearest rival list.

The R9700's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 7,006 points. This test exercises modern DirectX 12 rendering paths, and the score reflects the card's RDNA 4.0 architecture with 64 ray tracing cores. Geekbench OpenCL produces 118,202 points, the highest single score in the R9700's profile, indicating strong general-purpose compute throughput from its 4,096 shading units. Vulkan performance in Geekbench reaches 63,550 points, roughly 46% lower than OpenCL, a gap that highlights API-specific scheduling differences.

Passmark results show a wide spread across test types. The G3D score of 26,979 represents overall 3D graphics performance. GPU compute scores 15,300, which is substantial but lower than the Geekbench OpenCL figure, reflecting differing workload characteristics. Legacy DirectX tests are comparatively weak: DirectX 9 scores 363, DirectX 10 scores 155, DirectX 11 scores 272, and DirectX 12 scores 83. These low values suggest the card does not prioritize older API paths, likely because its driver stack and hardware target modern workloads. The G2D score of 1,236 indicates modest 2D performance.

Relative to its nearest rivals, the R9700's average score of 23,315 sits just 0.2% above the Radeon R9 M290X and RX 6600M, and 0.3% above the Radeon Pro Vega 16 and NVIDIA P106-100. These deltas are within measurement noise, meaning the R9700 effectively ties these older GPUs in average performance despite being a newer, larger design with more memory and higher bandwidth. The R9700's 69th percentile ranking places it in the upper third of all GPUs in the database, but its nearest competitors cluster around the same performance level, suggesting that its architectural advantages do not translate into a decisive average-score lead.

The Lisuan Tech LX MAX's specifications suggest potential strengths in specific workloads. Its 6,144 shading units could benefit compute tasks that scale with shader count, and its FP16 throughput of 49.15 TFLOPS exceeds the R9700's 47.84 TFLOPS. Its 12 GB memory capacity, while smaller, may suffice for many applications. However, without benchmark scores, these specifications remain unverified in practice. The card's 50th percentile ranking appears inconsistent with its hardware, and the database provides no evidence to resolve this discrepancy. The R9700, by contrast, has a complete performance record that confirms its capabilities across multiple test suites, making it the only one of the two with validated benchmark data.
