AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT vs AMD Ryzen Z2 A GPU Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT and the AMD Ryzen Z2 A GPU. The head-to-head benchmark list is empty, and the win counters for both items are zero. However, the Radeon RX 7600M XT has a substantial body of benchmark scores in the database, while the Ryzen Z2 A GPU has no recorded benchmark scores at all. This absence of data for the Ryzen Z2 A GPU means a direct numerical comparison cannot be established from the available measurements.

The Radeon RX 7600M XT holds an average benchmark score of 12710 across its ten recorded tests. Its percentile ranking places it above 52 percent of all GPUs in the database. The Ryzen Z2 A GPU sits at a 50th percentile ranking, but with an average benchmark score of zero due to the lack of any recorded tests. The Radeon RX 7600M XT delivers 20.23 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, whereas the Ryzen Z2 A GPU delivers 1.638 TFLOPS, a difference of roughly 12.3 times in raw shader throughput. In the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, the Radeon RX 7600M XT scores 2048 points. Its Geekbench OpenCL score is 74869, and its Geekbench Vulkan score is 27793.

The Ryzen Z2 A GPU has no nearest rivals listed, and no delta percentages are recorded for it.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural generations. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT is built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture, using the Navi 33 chip with the codename Hotpink Bonefish. It belongs to the Navi Mobile (RX 7000M) generation within the Radeon RX 7000 series. The AMD Ryzen Z2 A GPU is built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture, using the Van Gogh chip and is classified in the Console GPU (AMD) generation. The Radeon RX 7600M XT is fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC, while the Ryzen Z2 A GPU uses a 7 nm process, also at TSMC. The transistor counts diverge sharply: the Radeon RX 7600M XT packs 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 65.2 million per square millimeter. The Ryzen Z2 A GPU contains 2,400 million transistors on a 163 mm² die, with a transistor density of 14.7 million per square millimeter.

Core configurations differ by a factor of four in most units. The Radeon RX 7600M XT has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units. The Ryzen Z2 A GPU has 512 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, and 16 render output units. Ray tracing cores follow the same ratio: 32 on the Radeon RX 7600M XT versus 8 on the Ryzen Z2 A GPU. Neither part has tensor cores recorded. The Radeon RX 7600M XT achieves a pixel rate of 158.0 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 316.0 GTexel/s. The Ryzen Z2 A GPU achieves 25.60 GPixel/s and 51.20 GTexel/s respectively. FP16 performance on the Radeon RX 7600M XT reaches 40.45 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio, while the Ryzen Z2 A GPU reaches 3.277 TFLOPS with the same 2:1 ratio.

Clock speeds also differ substantially. The Radeon RX 7600M XT has a base clock of 1280 MHz, a boost clock of 2469 MHz, and a game clock of 2023 MHz. The Ryzen Z2 A GPU has a base clock of 1000 MHz and a boost clock of 1600 MHz, with no game clock recorded. Memory clocks show the Radeon RX 7600M XT running at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective speed, while the Ryzen Z2 A GPU runs at 800 MHz with 6.4 Gbps effective speed.

The Verdict

The data indicates a clear performance hierarchy between the two parts. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT is a discrete-class mobile GPU with substantially higher compute throughput, memory bandwidth, and core counts. Its 288.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth versus 102.4 GB/s on the Ryzen Z2 A GPU means the Radeon RX 7600M XT can feed its 2048 shading units at a much higher rate. The Ryzen Z2 A GPU, with its 512 shading units and 102.4 GB/s bandwidth, is designed for a much lower power envelope, as reflected in its 15 W TDP compared to the Radeon RX 7600M XT's 120 W TDP.

The Radeon RX 7600M XT holds a 52nd percentile ranking versus the Ryzen Z2 A GPU's 50th, but this near parity in percentile is misleading because the Ryzen Z2 A GPU has no benchmark scores recorded. The Radeon RX 7600M XT has an average benchmark score of 12710, while the Ryzen Z2 A GPU's average is zero. In terms of raw specifications, the Radeon RX 7600M XT delivers 20.23 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, 12.3 times the 1.638 TFLOPS of the Ryzen Z2 A GPU. Its texture rate of 316.0 GTexel/s is 6.2 times the 51.20 GTexel/s of the Ryzen Z2 A GPU. Its pixel rate of 158.0 GPixel/s is 6.2 times the 25.60 GPixel/s of the Ryzen Z2 A GPU.

The Ryzen Z2 A GPU does offer advantages in memory capacity and power efficiency. It has 16 GB of LPDDR5 memory versus 8 GB of GDDR6 on the Radeon RX 7600M XT. Its 15 W TDP is one-eighth of the Radeon RX 7600M XT's 120 W TDP, making it suitable for low-power console-style devices. The Radeon RX 7600M XT uses no power connectors and is an IGP form factor, while the Ryzen Z2 A GPU has no slot width or power connector data recorded. The Radeon RX 7600M XT uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 bus interface, while the Ryzen Z2 A GPU has no bus interface recorded and uses a single USB Type-C display output.
