These deltas are narrow, indicating the RX 7650 GRE delivers performance on par with those established desktop and mobile parts.

The Ryzen Z1 GPU, by contrast, has no rival data recorded. Its performance cannot be positioned relative to any other product in the database.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE demonstrates clear advantages in raw compute and graphics throughput based on its architecture specifications. It uses the Navi 33 chip with RDNA 3.0 architecture, built on a 6 nm TSMC process. The RX 7650 GRE contains 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, with a transistor density of 65.2 million per square millimeter.

The RX 7650 GRE delivers 22.08 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and the same 22.08 TFLOPS of FP16 compute at a 1:1 ratio. Its pixel rate is 172.5 GPixel/s, and its texture rate is 345.0 GTexel/s. The card includes 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 render output units, and 32 ray tracing cores.

The Ryzen Z1 GPU uses the Phoenix chip, also built on RDNA 3.0 architecture but on a 4 nm TSMC process. It contains 25,390 million transistors on a 178 mm² die, giving it a much higher transistor density of 142.6 million per square millimeter. However, its compute capabilities are significantly lower: 2.560 TFLOPS of FP32, 5.120 TFLOPS of FP16 at a 2:1 ratio, a pixel rate of 20.00 GPixel/s, and a texture rate of 40.00 GTexel/s. The Ryzen Z1 GPU has 256 shading units, 16 texture mapping units, 8 render output units, and 4 ray tracing cores.

The RX 7650 GRE is ahead in every compute category by a substantial margin. Its FP32 throughput is more than eight times higher, its pixel rate is over eight times higher, and its texture rate is over eight times higher. The RX 7650 GRE also has eight times the shading units, eight times the TMUs, and eight times the ROPs compared to the Ryzen Z1 GPU.

The Ryzen Z1 GPU holds advantages in power efficiency and integration. Its 30 W TDP is dramatically lower than the RX 7650 GRE's 170 W TDP. The Ryzen Z1 GPU uses LPDDR5 memory and requires no power connectors, while the RX 7650 GRE requires a single 8-pin connector and a 450 W suggested power supply.

Memory configurations differ completely. The RX 7650 GRE uses 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus with 288.0 GB/s bandwidth. The Ryzen Z1 GPU uses 16 GB of LPDDR5 memory on a 64-bit bus with 51.20 GB/s bandwidth. The RX 7650 GRE has over five times the memory bandwidth, while the Ryzen Z1 GPU has twice the capacity.

The Verdict

The data indicates two products built for entirely different roles. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE is a desktop discrete graphics card with substantial compute resources, active production status, and a release date of February 6, 2025. Its launch MSRP is 279 USD. The card delivers performance in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 42723.

The AMD Ryzen Z1 GPU is a console-class integrated GPU with a release date of September 17, 2023, and a launch MSRP of 599 USD. It has no display outputs, no bus interface listed, no power connectors, and no recorded benchmarks. Its average benchmark score is 0, placing it in the 50th percentile by default.

For users building a desktop PC with a dedicated graphics card, the RX 7650 GRE is the clear choice based on measured performance and compute specifications. Its benchmark scores confirm it operates near the level of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, within 1.2% in average score.

For users needing an integrated GPU solution within a low-power console or handheld design, the Ryzen Z1 GPU offers a much smaller power envelope at 30 W, with no external power requirement and no display outputs, indicating it relies on a host system for display and power management.

The RX 7650 GRE is the only one of the two with recorded performance data. Its 2048 shading units, 32 ray tracing cores, and 288.0 GB/s memory bandwidth position it as a capable desktop graphics solution. The Ryzen Z1 GPU's 256 shading units and 4 ray tracing cores indicate a much more limited graphics workload capability, appropriate for its embedded or console context.
