Analysis: AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700S vs Lisuan Tech LX MAX
Head-to-Head Benchmarks
The database contains no recorded benchmark scores for either the AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700S or the Lisuan Tech LX MAX. Both cards show an average benchmark score of zero, and both sit at the 50th percentile against all GPUs in the database. With no direct head-to-head results available, the comparison must rely entirely on the recorded specifications and architectural data.
The most decisive numerical difference is in FP32 compute. The Radeon AI PRO R9700S delivers 47.84 TFLOPS, while the Lisuan Tech LX MAX delivers 24.58 TFLOPS. That places the AMD card at roughly 95% higher raw single-precision throughput, or nearly double the Lisuan Tech part. In FP16 workloads, the situation shifts: the AMD card maintains 47.84 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio, while the Lisuan Tech card reaches 49.15 TFLOPS using a 2:1 ratio. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX is therefore about 2.7% ahead in FP16 peak throughput, but only when the workload can effectively use the 2:1 packed path.
Pixel throughput follows the same pattern as FP32. The Radeon AI PRO R9700S achieves 373.8 GPixel/s against 192.0 GPixel/s for the LX MAX, a difference of roughly 94.7% in favor of AMD. Texture rate shows 747.5 GTexel/s versus 384.0 GTexel/s, again nearly double for the AMD card. Memory bandwidth is another major split: the Radeon AI PRO R9700S provides 644.6 GB/s over a 256-bit bus, while the Lisuan Tech LX MAX provides 432.0 GB/s over a 192-bit bus. The AMD card leads by about 49.2% in memory bandwidth.
Clock speeds are only partially recorded for the Lisuan Tech card. The Radeon AI PRO R9700S has a base clock of 1660 MHz, a game clock of 2350 MHz, and a boost clock of 2920 MHz. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX lists no base, boost, or game clock in the database. Its memory clock is 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective), versus 2518 MHz (20.1 Gbps effective) for the AMD part.
Where Each One Wins
The Radeon AI PRO R9700S wins in every category where both cards have complete data, except for FP16 peak throughput. Its advantages are largest in FP32 compute, pixel fill, texture fill, and memory bandwidth. The 32 GB frame buffer on the AMD card is more than 2.6 times the 12 GB on the Lisuan Tech card. The 256-bit memory bus, the 644.6 GB/s bandwidth, and the higher effective memory speed all point toward workloads that are sensitive to memory capacity and throughput, such as large dataset rendering, high-resolution textures, or compute tasks that exceed 12 GB.
The Lisuan Tech LX MAX has one recorded advantage: FP16 compute. At 49.15 TFLOPS, it exceeds the AMD card's 47.84 TFLOPS in that specific mode. This comes from a 2:1 FP16 ratio, meaning the card can process two FP16 operations per FP32 operation. The Radeon AI PRO R9700S uses a 1:1 ratio, so its FP16 performance equals its FP32 performance. For workloads that are heavily FP16-bound and can exploit the packed path, the Lisuan Tech card holds a narrow lead. The LX MAX also has a higher shading unit count at 6144 versus 4096, though the AMD card compensates with higher clocks and a more efficient architecture.
The Lisuan Tech card runs at a lower TDP of 225 W versus 300 W for the AMD part. It also requires a 550 W suggested PSU rather than 700 W. For constrained systems, the LX MAX is the lower-power option. Its dimensions are shorter at 248 mm versus 267 mm, though it is taller at 118 mm versus 109 mm and thicker at 48 mm versus 39 mm.
Architecture Differences
The AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700S uses the Navi 48 chip built on RDNA 4.0 architecture, fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX uses the 7G106 chip with TrueGPU architecture, fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC. The process node difference is significant: 4 nm versus 6 nm gives the AMD card a density advantage, with 53,900 million transistors packed into a 357 mm² die, yielding 151.0 million transistors per square millimeter. The Lisuan Tech card's transistor count and die size are listed as unknown.
The AMD card belongs to the Radeon Pro Navi (Navi IV Series) generation, while the Lisuan Tech card is in the 7G100 generation. The AMD card's predecessor is the Radeon Pro Vega. The Lisuan Tech card has no recorded predecessor. Both cards are listed as Active in production status.
Memory configurations differ substantially. The Radeon AI PRO R9700S has 32 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX has 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus. Both use GDDR6, but the AMD card runs at 20.1 Gbps effective versus 18 Gbps for the Lisuan Tech card.
Ray tracing hardware is present on the AMD card with 64 dedicated RT cores. The Lisuan Tech card lists no RT core count. Tensor cores are listed as null for both cards. The AMD card supports PCIe 5.0 x16, while the Lisuan Tech card uses PCIe 4.0 x16. Display outputs also differ: the AMD card provides 4x DisplayPort 2.1a, while the Lisuan Tech card provides 4x DisplayPort 1.4a.
API support is nearly identical. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) and OpenGL 4.6. The AMD card supports Vulkan 1.4, while the Lisuan Tech card supports Vulkan 1.3. Power delivery is the same physical connector type, a single 16-pin, on both cards.

The Verdict
The data points strongly toward the AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700S for any workload that depends on raw FP32 throughput, memory bandwidth, memory capacity, or pixel and texture fill rates. It holds nearly a 2:1 advantage in FP32, pixel rate, and texture rate. Its 32 GB buffer is more than double the Lisuan Tech card's 12 GB, and its 644.6 GB/s bandwidth is roughly 49% higher. The 4 nm process node, newer RDNA 4.0 architecture, and support for PCIe 5.0 x16 and DisplayPort 2.1a further separate it from the Lisuan Tech part.
The Lisuan Tech LX MAX is the better choice only in specific FP16-heavy scenarios where its 2:1 packed math can be fully utilized. Its 49.15 TFLOPS FP16 output narrowly beats the AMD card's 47.84 TFLOPS. It also draws less power at 225 W versus 300 W and requires a smaller PSU. Its shorter length, 248 mm versus 267 mm, may fit certain chassis more easily.
For users running large models, high-resolution textures, or memory-intensive compute tasks, the Radeon AI PRO R9700S is the clear pick. For FP16-focused workloads with power constraints, the Lisuan Tech LX MAX offers a niche advantage. Neither card has recorded benchmark scores in the database, so the verdict rests purely on specification analysis.
