AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE vs AMD Ryzen Z2 GPU Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database does not contain any direct head-to-head benchmark runs between the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE and the AMD Ryzen Z2 GPU. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and the win counters show zero for both parts. This absence of direct comparative measurements means the two products cannot be ranked against each other using matched test conditions in the current dataset.

What the database does provide is a full set of standalone measurements for the RX 7650 GRE and no standalone measurements for the Ryzen Z2 GPU. The Ryzen Z2 GPU has an empty benchmark array, an average benchmark score of zero, and no nearest rivals listed. The RX 7650 GRE, by contrast, carries two recorded test results and a percentile placement against the broader GPU field.

The RX 7650 GRE scores 2336 points in the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. In Geekbench OpenCL, it records 83109 points. Its average benchmark score across recorded tests is 42723 points. The Ryzen Z2 GPU has no comparable figures in the database, so any attempt to draw a numeric performance comparison between the two would rely entirely on unrecorded data.

The RX 7650 GRE sits at the 83rd percentile of all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals, all within a narrow band, are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER with an average score of 43223 and a delta of -1.2 percent, the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB with 43262 and -1.2 percent, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile with 43268 and -1.3 percent, and the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 with 43301 and -1.3 percent. The RX 7650 GRE trails each of these by roughly one percent, a margin that places it just below a cluster of established desktop and mobile parts. The Ryzen Z2 GPU holds the 50th percentile, which is the median position, but with no score data behind it that placement cannot be interpreted as a measured result.

Because the head-to-head section is empty, the database offers no evidence of which part wins in any specific workload. The RX 7650 GRE has measurable results; the Ryzen Z2 GPU does not. That asymmetry is the central finding of this comparison.

Q: Do the two products share any architectural features?

A: Both use the RDNA 3.0 architecture, support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, and are manufactured by AMD at TSMC. They differ in process node, die size, transistor count, memory type, and several compute resources.

Architecture Differences

The RX 7650 GRE and the Ryzen Z2 GPU both use AMD's RDNA 3.0 architecture, but they are built on different silicon and serve different roles. The RX 7650 GRE belongs to the Radeon RX 7000 series, uses the Navi 33 chip with the codename Hotpink Bonefish, and is part of the Navi III generation. The Ryzen Z2 GPU uses the Hawk Point chip and is classified under Console GPU generation, with no codename or series listed.

The manufacturing process separates the two clearly. The RX 7650 GRE is fabricated on a 6 nm node at TSMC and contains 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 65.2 million per square millimeter. The Ryzen Z2 GPU is built on a 4 nm node at TSMC, packs 25,390 million transistors into a smaller 178 mm² die, and reaches a transistor density of 142.6 million per square millimeter. The Z2 GPU packs nearly double the transistor count into a physically smaller area.

Compute resources differ substantially. The RX 7650 GRE has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 raster output units, and 32 ray tracing cores. The Ryzen Z2 GPU has 768 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, 32 raster output units, and 12 ray tracing cores. The RX 7650 GRE carries roughly 2.7 times the shading units and 2.7 times the texture units of the Z2 GPU, while matching it in raster output units.

Memory architecture diverges as well. The RX 7650 GRE uses 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128 bit bus, delivering 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Ryzen Z2 GPU uses 16 GB of LPDDR5X memory on the same 128 bit bus, but bandwidth drops to 119.9 GB/s. The Z2 GPU has twice the capacity yet less than half the bandwidth. Memory clocks reflect this: the RX 7650 GRE runs at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective, while the Z2 GPU runs at 937 MHz with 7.5 Gbps effective.

Clock speeds show a different balance. The RX 7650 GRE has a base clock of 1720 MHz, a boost clock of 2695 MHz, and a game clock of 2350 MHz. The Ryzen Z2 GPU has a base clock of 800 MHz and a boost clock of 2700 MHz, with no game clock listed. The boost clocks are nearly identical, but the base clock on the RX 7650 GRE is more than double that of the Z2 GPU.

Output rates and compute throughput follow the resource counts. The RX 7650 GRE delivers 172.5 GPixel/s pixel rate, 345.0 GTexel/s texture rate, and 22.08 TFLOPS FP32 with matching 22.08 TFLOPS FP16 (1:1). The Ryzen Z2 GPU delivers 86.40 GPixel/s, 129.6 GTexel/s, and 8.294 TFLOPS FP32 with matching 8.294 TFLOPS FP16 (1:1). The RX 7650 GRE leads in every throughput metric.

Power and physical specifications also diverge. The RX 7650 GRE has a TDP of 170 W, uses a dual-slot design with a single 8-pin power connector, and recommends a 450 W power supply. The Ryzen Z2 GPU has a TDP of 28 W, uses no power connectors, and has no suggested power supply listed. The RX 7650 GRE has a PCIe 4.0 x8 bus interface, while the Z2 GPU has no bus interface listed. Display outputs differ: the RX 7650 GRE offers 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1, while the Z2 GPU offers a single USB Type-C output.

The Verdict

The database provides a clear answer on data availability but not on performance. The RX 7650 GRE is a fully measured desktop graphics card with an average benchmark score of 42723, a 83rd percentile ranking, and a set of nearest rivals within one percent. The Ryzen Z2 GPU has no recorded benchmarks, no average score, no nearest rivals, and a percentile ranking of 50 that carries no supporting measurements.

For anyone choosing between these two based on recorded data, the RX 7650 GRE is the only one with evidence of performance. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 2336 and Geekbench OpenCL score of 83109 place it in the upper tier of GPUs, just under a percent behind the RTX 4070 SUPER and similar parts. The Ryzen Z2 GPU cannot be evaluated from the database because no test results exist.

The architectural data reinforces the direction. The RX 7650 GRE has more shading units, more texture units, more ray tracing cores, higher clocks, higher memory bandwidth, and roughly 2.7 times the FP32 throughput of the Ryzen Z2 GPU. The Z2 GPU counters with more memory capacity, a denser transistor layout on a smaller node, and a dramatically lower power draw of 28 W versus 170 W. Those traits point to different intended uses, but the benchmark data only supports the desktop card.

The verdict is straightforward: the RX 7650 GRE is the measured performer, while the Ryzen Z2 GPU is an unmeasured part with a different power and memory profile. Any performance claim about the Z2 GPU would go beyond what the database records.

Where Each One Wins

Based on recorded data, the RX 7650 GRE wins in every measurable performance category. It has the only benchmark scores in the comparison, with 2336 in 3DMark Steel Nomad and 83109 in Geekbench OpenCL. It wins on shading units, texture units, pixel rate, texture rate, FP32 throughput, memory bandwidth, base clock, and game clock. Its 22.08 TFLOPS FP32 output is 2.7 times the 8.294 TFLOPS of the Ryzen Z2 GPU. Its 288.0 GB/s memory bandwidth is 2.4 times the 119.9 GB/s of the Z2 GPU.

The Ryzen Z2 GPU wins on specifications that favor efficiency and capacity. It draws 28 W compared to 170 W, a substantial difference for thermally constrained environments. It holds 16 GB of memory versus 8 GB, doubling the frame buffer for large datasets or workloads that need more resident data. It uses a denser 4 nm process with 142.6M transistors per mm² versus 65.2M, and it packs 25,390 million transistors into a smaller 178 mm² die compared to 204 mm². Its boost clock of 2700 MHz edges out the 2695 MHz of the RX 7650 GRE by a small margin.

The use-case split follows these strengths. The RX 7650 GRE suits workloads that demand raw throughput: high-resolution rendering, compute-heavy tasks, and applications that benefit from high memory bandwidth and large texture rates. The Ryzen Z2 GPU suits scenarios where power draw and memory capacity matter more than compute speed, such as compact or mobile systems with strict thermal budgets and workloads that need more than 8 GB of memory. The database does not record any benchmark wins for either part in direct competition, so this split derives entirely from specification differences and the single measured benchmark set.
