AMD Radeon RX 7700S vs AMD Ryzen Z2 Go GPU Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Radeon RX 7700S and the AMD Ryzen Z2 Go GPU, as the head-to-head benchmark array is empty. However, the database contains three separate benchmark scores for the RX 7700S, while the Z2 Go GPU has no recorded benchmark scores at all. This absence of comparative data is itself informative: the RX 7700S delivers measurable results in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 (2185), Geekbench OpenCL (62983), and Geekbench Vulkan (36380), whereas the Z2 Go GPU has no entries in any of these tests.

The RX 7700S achieves an average benchmark score of 33849 across its recorded tests. The database places it in the 78th percentile among all GPUs, meaning it outperforms the majority of tracked graphics hardware. Its nearest rivals in the database provide context for this score. The AMD Radeon HD 7950 posts an average score of 33951, a delta of -0.3 percent relative to the RX 7700S. The AMD Radeon RX 480 scores 33997, a delta of -0.4 percent. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 5 GB scores 33694, a delta of +0.5 percent. The NVIDIA RTX A5000 scores 33622, a delta of +0.7 percent. These deltas indicate that the RX 7700S sits within a tight cluster, slightly below the HD 7950 and RX 480, and slightly above the GTX 1060 5 GB and RTX A5000. The largest gap in either direction is less than one percent, so the RX 7700S performs essentially on par with these four rivals, with no decisive advantage or deficit.

The Z2 Go GPU, by contrast, has an average benchmark score of zero, and the database assigns it the 50th percentile. With no benchmark entries and no nearest rivals listed, the data cannot support any comparative performance statements for this chip. The contrast is stark: one part has a full set of measured scores and a percentile ranking derived from real results, while the other has only a placeholder percentile with no underlying measurements.

The FP32 compute figures reinforce the gap. The RX 7700S delivers 20.48 TFLOPS, while the Z2 Go GPU delivers 4.147 TFLOPS. That is a difference of roughly a factor of five in raw shader throughput. The pixel rate for the RX 7700S is 160.0 GPixel/s versus 86.40 GPixel/s for the Z2 Go GPU, a 1.85x advantage. The texture rate for the RX 7700S is 320.0 GTexel/s versus 129.6 GTexel/s, a 2.47x advantage. These figures come directly from the recorded specifications and indicate that the RX 7700S has substantially higher theoretical rendering throughput in every measured category.

The Verdict

The benchmark data points decisively toward the AMD Radeon RX 7700S for any performance-oriented use case. It has measurable scores in three separate tests, an average benchmark score of 33849, and a 78th percentile ranking. The AMD Ryzen Z2 Go GPU has no benchmark scores, an average score of zero, and a 50th percentile ranking. On raw compute, the RX 7700S delivers 20.48 TFLOPS FP32 versus 4.147 TFLOPS, a 4.9x advantage. Its pixel rate (160.0 GPixel/s versus 86.40 GPixel/s) and texture rate (320.0 GTexel/s versus 129.6 GTexel/s) are also decisively higher.

The Z2 Go GPU does hold advantages in specific specification categories. It has 16 GB of memory versus 8 GB, a higher boost clock (2700 MHz versus 2500 MHz), and a much lower TDP (28 W versus 100 W). For workloads that require large memory capacity or minimal power consumption, the Z2 Go GPU has a role. However, the database contains no performance measurements for the Z2 Go GPU, so any claims about its actual speed are unsupported by the recorded data.

The RX 7700S also compares favorably to its nearest rivals. Its average score of 33849 sits within 0.7 percent of the NVIDIA RTX A5000 and within 0.5 percent of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 5 GB. It trails the AMD Radeon HD 7950 and RX 480 by less than half a percent. This places it in a well-established performance band, with the benefit of modern architecture features (RDNA 3.0 versus RDNA 2.0) and a higher transistor count on a similar process node.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ across nearly every recorded specification field. The RX 7700S uses the Navi 33 chip with RDNA 3.0 architecture, while the Z2 Go GPU uses the Rembrandt+ chip with RDNA 2.0 architecture. The process node is identical (6 nm, TSMC), but the transistor counts differ slightly: 13,300 million for the RX 7700S versus 13,100 million for the Z2 Go GPU. Die size also differs, with the RX 7700S at 204 mm² and the Z2 Go GPU at 208 mm², giving the RX 7700S a higher transistor density of 65.2M / mm² versus 63.0M / mm².

Memory specifications diverge sharply. The RX 7700S has 8 GB of GDDR6 with a 128-bit bus and 288.0 GB/s bandwidth. The Z2 Go GPU has 16 GB of LPDDR5 with a 128-bit bus and 102.4 GB/s bandwidth. The RX 7700S memory clock is 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective, while the Z2 Go GPU memory clock is 800 MHz with 6.4 Gbps effective.

Compute resources favor the RX 7700S: 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 32 RT cores versus 768 shading units, 48 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and 12 RT cores. The RX 7700S also leads in pixel rate (160.0 GPixel/s), texture rate (320.0 GTexel/s), FP32 (20.48 TFLOPS), and FP16 (40.96 TFLOPS). The Z2 Go GPU records 86.40 GPixel/s, 129.6 GTexel/s, 4.147 TFLOPS FP32, and 8.294 TFLOPS FP16.

Clocks differ in structure: the RX 7700S has a 1500 MHz base, 2500 MHz boost, and 2200 MHz game clock; the Z2 Go GPU has an 800 MHz base and 2700 MHz boost, with no game clock recorded. The RX 7700S has a TDP of 100 W, while the Z2 Go GPU has a TDP of 28 W. The RX 7700S uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 bus interface, while the Z2 Go GPU has no bus interface recorded. Display outputs also differ: the RX 7700S is portable device dependent, while the Z2 Go GPU has 1x USB Type-C. The RX 7700S is listed as IGP slot width with no power connectors, and the Z2 Go GPU also has no power connectors. Release dates differ by two years: the RX 7700S launched on 2023-01-03, while the Z2 Go GPU launched on 2024-12-31.

Architecture Differences

The architectural split is clear from the recorded data. The RX 7700S belongs to the Radeon RX 7000 series and uses the RDNA 3.0 architecture on the Navi 33 chip, with the codename Hotpink Bonefish and the generation label Navi Mobile (RX 7000M). The Z2 Go GPU uses the RDNA 2.0 architecture on the Rembrandt+ chip, with no codename and the generation label Console GPU (AMD).

The process node is the same (6 nm, TSMC), but the die layout differs. The RX 7700S has a smaller die (204 mm²) with more transistors (13,300 million), resulting in a higher density (65.2M / mm²). The Z2 Go GPU has a larger die (208 mm²) with fewer transistors (13,100 million), resulting in a lower density (63.0M / mm²). This suggests the RX 7700S packs its compute resources more efficiently.

The ray tracing and compute architecture differ by generation. The RX 7700S carries 32 RT cores, while the Z2 Go GPU carries 12. The RX 7700S also has 2048 shading units versus 768, and its FP16 throughput of 40.96 TFLOPS is double its FP32 rate, indicating a 2:1 ratio. The Z2 Go GPU shows the same 2:1 FP16 ratio (8.294 TFLOPS) but at a much lower absolute level. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API compatibility is identical. The RX 7700S lists its predecessor as Polaris Mobile, while the Z2 Go GPU has no predecessor or successor recorded. Both are marked as Active production status.

Where Each One Wins

The RX 7700S wins in every measured performance category. It has all three recorded benchmark scores, an average score of 33849, and a 78th percentile ranking. It delivers 20.48 TFLOPS FP32, 160.0 GPixel/s, 320.0 GTexel/s, 288.0 GB/s memory bandwidth, and 2048 shading units. For any workload that depends on raw rendering throughput, shader compute, or memory bandwidth, the data supports the RX 7700S as the stronger part.

The Z2 Go GPU wins in capacity and efficiency categories. It has 16 GB of memory, double the RX 7700S's 8 GB. It has a higher boost clock at 2700 MHz versus 2500 MHz. Its TDP of 28 W is less than a third of the RX 7700S's 100 W. For scenarios that require large memory footprints, such as holding extensive texture sets or large working datasets, or for systems with strict power budgets, the Z2 Go GPU has the recorded advantage.

The RX 7700S also benefits from its position relative to known rivals. Its average score of 33849 sits within one percent of the AMD Radeon HD 7950, AMD Radeon RX 480, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 5 GB, and NVIDIA RTX A5000, all of which are established discrete GPUs. The Z2 Go GPU has no such reference points in the database, leaving its performance entirely uncharacterized.

The verdict from the data is one-sided: the RX 7700S is the higher-performance part by a wide margin, while the Z2 Go GPU is the lower-power, higher-capacity alternative with no measured performance record. The choice depends on whether the priority is rendering throughput or power efficiency and memory capacity.
