AMD Radeon RX 7600 vs AMD Ryzen Z2 Go GPU Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 and the AMD Ryzen Z2 Go GPU sit at opposite ends of the performance spectrum. The RX 7600 delivers a comprehensive sweep across every recorded benchmark metric, with the Z2 Go GPU lacking any benchmark entries in the database. The RX 7600 posts an average benchmark score of 15171, placing it in the 57th percentile among all GPUs, while the Z2 Go GPU holds a 50th percentile ranking with an average score of zero due to the absence of recorded tests.

The RX 7600 produces 21.75 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, which is over five times the 4.147 TFLOPS delivered by the Z2 Go GPU. The texture rate difference is equally stark: the RX 7600 renders 339.8 GTexel/s against the Z2 Go GPU's 129.6 GTexel/s. Pixel throughput shows the same pattern, with the RX 7600 achieving 169.9 GPixel/s compared to 86.40 GPixel/s on the Z2 Go GPU.

In the absence of direct head-to-head benchmark data for the Z2 Go GPU, the RX 7600's nearest rivals provide context for its standing. The RX 7600 trails the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM by 0.2 percent, with the rival posting an average score of 15199. Against the AMD Radeon Pro 560X, the RX 7600 leads by 0.6 percent, that rival scoring 15082. The AMD Radeon 680M holds a slight edge of 0.7 percent over the RX 7600 with a score of 15270, while the RX 7600 leads the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti by 0.7 percent, that card scoring 15063. These margins are narrow, indicating the RX 7600 clusters tightly with mid-range cards from previous generations.

Specific benchmark results for the RX 7600 show its strongest showing in Geekbench OpenCL with a score of 88051, followed by Geekbench Vulkan at 34401. Passmark G3D yields 16634, while Passmark GPU Compute reaches 8790. The RX 7600 scores 984 in Passmark G2D, 226 in Passmark DirectX 9, 172 in Passmark DirectX 11, 84 in Passmark DirectX 10, and 58 in Passmark DirectX 12. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test produces a score of 2310.

Where Each One Wins

The RX 7600 wins in every category where measurements exist. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128 bit bus delivers 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth, compared to the Z2 Go GPU's 16 GB of LPDDR5 on the same 128 bit bus, which provides only 102.4 GB/s. The RX 7600's memory clock runs at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective transfer, while the Z2 Go GPU operates at 800 MHz with 6.4 Gbps effective.

For compute-heavy workloads, the RX 7600's 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units dwarf the Z2 Go GPU's 768 shading units, 48 TMUs, and 32 ROPs. The ray tracing core count also favors the RX 7600, which packs 32 RT cores against the Z2 Go GPU's 12.

The Z2 Go GPU does claim advantages in specific areas. It offers 16 GB of memory, double the RX 7600's 8 GB, which benefits workloads requiring large working sets. Its boost clock of 2700 MHz exceeds the RX 7600's 2655 MHz boost, though the RX 7600 counters with a base clock of 1720 MHz versus the Z2 Go GPU's 800 MHz. The Z2 Go GPU also draws significantly less power at 28 W TDP compared to the RX 7600's 165 W TDP, and it requires no power connectors while the RX 7600 uses a single 8 pin connector.

The Z2 Go GPU's FP16 throughput of 8.294 TFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio indicates it processes half precision at double the FP32 rate, while the RX 7600 offers 21.75 TFLOPS of FP16 at a 1:1 ratio, matching its FP32 output. The RX 7600 still leads in absolute FP16 performance despite the Z2 Go GPU's efficiency ratio.

Architecture Differences

The RX 7600 uses the Navi 33 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, code-named Hotpink Bonefish, and belongs to the Navi III generation within the Radeon RX 7000 series. The Z2 Go GPU uses the Rembrandt+ chip on RDNA 2.0 architecture and is classified under the Console GPU generation. Both processors are manufactured by TSMC on a 6 nm process node, but the RX 7600 integrates 13,300 million transistors across a 204 mm² die, while the Z2 Go GPU packs 13,100 million transistors into a 208 mm² die. The resulting transistor densities are 65.2M per mm² for the RX 7600 and 63.0M per mm² for the Z2 Go GPU.

The RX 7600 supports a broader set of display outputs: one HDMI 2.1a port and three DisplayPort 2.1 connectors. The Z2 Go GPU offers a single USB Type-C output. The RX 7600 uses a PCIe 4.0 x8 bus interface, while the Z2 Go GPU lists no bus interface specification. The RX 7600 is a dual-slot card measuring 204 mm in length and 115 mm in height, whereas the Z2 Go GPU has no recorded dimensions or slot width.

Both GPUs support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API compatibility does not differentiate them. The RX 7600 requires a 450 W suggested power supply, while the Z2 Go GPU has no suggested PSU listed.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ across nearly every tracked specification. Memory capacity favors the Z2 Go GPU at 16 GB of LPDDR5, while the RX 7600 uses 8 GB of GDDR6. The bus width matches at 128 bit for both, but bandwidth diverges sharply: 288.0 GB/s on the RX 7600 versus 102.4 GB/s on the Z2 Go GPU.

Clock speeds show a mixed picture. The RX 7600 has a higher base clock at 1720 MHz versus 800 MHz, but the Z2 Go GPU edges out the RX 7600 on boost clock, 2700 MHz versus 2655 MHz. The RX 7600 also lists a game clock of 2250 MHz, which the Z2 Go GPU does not specify. Memory clocks stand at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective for the RX 7600, while the Z2 Go GPU runs at 800 MHz with 6.4 Gbps effective.

Compute resources: the RX 7600 has 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 32 RT cores. The Z2 Go GPU has 768 shading units, 48 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and 12 RT cores.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear separation of roles. The AMD Radeon RX 7600 is a discrete graphics card built for sustained rendering workloads, demonstrated by its 21.75 TFLOPS FP32 throughput, 288.0 GB/s memory bandwidth, and 339.8 GTexel/s texture rate. Its nearest rivals in the database, including the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM at a 0.2 percent margin and the AMD Radeon 680M at a 0.7 percent margin, confirm it competes in the established mid-range discrete segment. The RX 7600's 165 W TDP and dual-slot design indicate a card intended for a desktop tower with a 450 W power supply.

The AMD Ryzen Z2 Go GPU occupies a different category entirely. Its 28 W TDP, lack of power connectors, single USB Type-C output, and absence of recorded dimensions point to a mobile or embedded solution. The 16 GB of LPDDR5 memory at 102.4 GB/s bandwidth prioritizes capacity over speed, and the 4.147 TFLOPS FP32 figure positions it far below the RX 7600 in raw compute. The Z2 Go GPU's higher boost clock of 2700 MHz does not compensate for its 768 shading units versus 2048 on the RX 7600.

The RX 7600 wins on every measured performance metric, every compute resource count, and every throughput figure. The Z2 Go GPU wins on power efficiency, memory capacity, and its later release date. For users selecting a GPU for gaming or compute tasks where the database records scores, the RX 7600 is the only option with benchmark evidence. The Z2 Go GPU's 50th percentile ranking with zero recorded benchmark scores means its performance cannot be verified against the RX 7600 or any other GPU in the database. The verdict follows the numbers: the RX 7600 for performance, the Z2 Go GPU for low-power applications where 16 GB of memory matters more than throughput.
