AMD Radeon RX 9060 vs AMD Ryzen Z2 Go GPU Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the AMD Radeon RX 9060 and the AMD Ryzen Z2 Go GPU. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and neither component registers a win in shared tests. Direct score-to-score comparison is therefore impossible from the database. The RX 9060 has a full benchmark suite, while the Ryzen Z2 Go GPU has no recorded benchmark entries at all.

The RX 9060 delivers an average benchmark score of 16014 across its ten tests. That average places it at the 59th percentile among all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, which averages 16129, a delta of -0.7 percent relative to the RX 9060. The AMD Radeon R9 370X averages 15862, a delta of 1 percent. The AMD Radeon RX 7700 also averages 15852, a delta of 1 percent, and the AMD Radeon Pro W5500 averages 15679, a delta of 2.1 percent. These deltas indicate the RX 9060 sits in a tight performance cluster, within roughly two percent of all four nearest rivals.

The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU, in contrast, has an average benchmark score of zero and sits at the 50th percentile. It has no nearest rivals listed. The absence of benchmark data means no performance verdict can be drawn for it from the database. Its capabilities must be assessed entirely from its architecture and specification fields.

Architecture Differences

The two parts share a manufacturer and several API support levels, but their underlying silicon differs fundamentally. The RX 9060 uses the Navi 44 chip built on RDNA 4.0 architecture, fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU uses the Rembrandt+ chip built on RDNA 2.0 architecture, fabricated on a 6 nm process, also at TSMC. The RX 9060 carries 29,700 million transistors on a 199 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 149.2 million per square millimeter. The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU carries 13,100 million transistors on a 208 mm² die, a density of 63.0 million per square millimeter.

The RX 9060 is part of the Navi IV (RX 9000) generation with the codename Strix Point. The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU belongs to the Console GPU (AMD) generation and has no codename listed. The RX 9060 has a dual-slot cooler and requires a single 8-pin power connector with a suggested 300 W power supply. The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU has no slot width listed, no power connectors, and no suggested PSU. It draws 28 W, while the RX 9060 draws 132 W.

Memory configurations also diverge sharply. The RX 9060 uses 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128 bit bus, with a memory clock of 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective) and bandwidth of 288.0 GB/s. The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU uses 16 GB of LPDDR5 on a 128 bit bus, with a memory clock of 800 MHz (6.4 Gbps effective) and bandwidth of 102.4 GB/s. The RX 9060 therefore delivers nearly three times the memory bandwidth of the Ryzen Z2 Go GPU, despite having half the capacity.

Compute resources differ by a wide margin. The RX 9060 has 1792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, 64 raster output units, and 28 ray tracing cores. The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU has 768 shading units, 48 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and 12 ray tracing cores. Pixel rate on the RX 9060 is 191.4 GPixel/s versus 86.40 GPixel/s on the Ryzen Z2 Go GPU. Texture rate is 334.9 GTexel/s versus 129.6 GTexel/s. FP32 throughput is 21.43 TFLOPS versus 4.147 TFLOPS. FP16 throughput is 21.43 TFLOPS (1:1) on the RX 9060, while the Ryzen Z2 Go GPU reaches 8.294 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio.

Clock behavior also differs. The RX 9060 runs a 1700 MHz base clock, a 2400 MHz game clock, and a 2990 MHz boost clock. The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU runs an 800 MHz base clock and a 2700 MHz boost clock, with no game clock listed. The RX 9060 uses PCIe 5.0 x16 as its bus interface, while the Ryzen Z2 Go GPU has no bus interface listed. Display outputs: the RX 9060 provides one HDMI 2.1b port and two DisplayPort 2.1a ports, while the Ryzen Z2 Go GPU provides one USB Type-C output.

Both parts support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Neither lists tensor cores. The RX 9060 was released on 2025-08-04; the Ryzen Z2 Go GPU was released on 2024-12-31.

Where Each One Wins

The RX 9060 wins outright in every measurable compute and rendering category recorded in the database. Its FP32 throughput of 21.43 TFLOPS is roughly five times that of the Ryzen Z2 Go GPU's 4.147 TFLOPS. Pixel rate is more than double, texture rate is more than double, and shading units, TMUs, ROPs, and ray tracing cores all favor the RX 9060 by at least a 2-to-1 margin. Memory bandwidth of 288.0 GB/s versus 102.4 GB/s gives the RX 9060 a decisive advantage in bandwidth-bound workloads.

The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU wins on power efficiency and memory capacity. It draws 28 W against 132 W, a reduction of 104 W. It also carries 16 GB of LPDDR5 versus 8 GB of GDDR6, doubling the frame buffer. That larger capacity could benefit workloads that need more resident data, although the lower bandwidth and reduced compute throughput limit what the memory can feed. The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU also uses no external power connectors, making it suitable for compact, low-power integration, whereas the RX 9060 requires a single 8-pin connector and a 300 W suggested PSU.

The RX 9060 is the only one of the two with recorded benchmark results. Its ten tests show strong variation: PassMark G3D scores 17631, Geekbench OpenCL scores 88183, Geekbench Vulkan scores 39476, and PassMark GPU Compute scores 9919. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test scores 3322. These results support its position at the 59th percentile. The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU has no such evidence in the database, so any claim of a win for it must rest on architecture fields alone.

A: The RX 9060 averages 16014 in the database, while the RTX 3060 Ti averages 16129. The delta is -0.7 percent, meaning the RTX 3060 Ti holds a slight edge of under one percent.

The Verdict

The database supports a clear split. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 is the higher-performance part by every recorded compute metric. It offers more shading units, more TMUs, more ROPs, more ray tracing cores, higher clocks, higher pixel and texture rates, higher FP32 and FP16 throughput, and higher memory bandwidth. Its benchmark average of 16014 and 59th percentile placement confirm it as a functional discrete GPU, competitive within about two percent of the RTX 3060 Ti, R9 370X, RX 7700, and Radeon Pro W5500.

The AMD Ryzen Z2 Go GPU is not a direct competitor in the same performance class. Its 4.147 TFLOPS FP32 throughput, 28 W TDP, and 16 GB LPDDR5 memory position it as a low-power integrated-class solution. It has no benchmark records, no nearest rivals, and an average score of zero. It cannot match the RX 9060 in any compute or rendering metric recorded. Its advantages are limited to power draw and memory capacity.

A user selecting strictly from the data should choose the RX 9060 for any workload that demands rasterization, ray tracing, or compute throughput. The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU would only be preferable where the 28 W power envelope and the larger 16 GB frame buffer outweigh the massive compute deficit, such as low-power embedded or handheld scenarios. The data does not support any other conclusion.
