AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP vs AMD Ryzen Z2 A GPU Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark database contains recorded scores for the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP, while the AMD Ryzen Z2 A GPU has no benchmark entries in the database. This means a direct score-by-score comparison is not possible from the recorded data. The RX 9060 XT LP shows an average benchmark score of 63830 across its recorded tests, which places it in the 89th percentile of all GPUs in the database. The Ryzen Z2 A GPU holds a 50th percentile ranking, but this is based on no recorded benchmark scores, so it functions as a default placement rather than a measured result.

The RX 9060 XT LP delivers 88183 in Geekbench OpenCL and 39476 in Geekbench Vulkan. These are the only two recorded benchmark results for the card. Its nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA CMP 30HX with an average score of 63842 and a delta of 0%, the AMD Radeon RX 7600M at 63775 with a 0.1% delta, and the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 at 63693 with a 0.2% delta. The RX 9060 XT LP also trails the AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100 by 0.6%, which scores 64212. These deltas are small, indicating the card sits in a tightly clustered performance band where differences between adjacent entries are within a fraction of a percent.

Because the Ryzen Z2 A GPU has no benchmark scores, no deltas can be calculated against it. The database shows no head-to-head benchmark results between the two products, and the wins counter for each item is zero. The comparison therefore rests on architectural specifications and the measured data available for the RX 9060 XT LP alone.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different generations of AMD architecture. The RX 9060 XT LP uses the Navi 44 chip built on RDNA 4.0, belonging to the Navi IV (RX 9000) generation. The Ryzen Z2 A GPU uses the Van Gogh chip built on RDNA 2.0, classified under the Console GPU (AMD) generation. Both are manufactured by TSMC, but on different process nodes: the RX 9060 XT LP uses a 4 nm node, while the Ryzen Z2 A GPU uses a 7 nm node.

Transistor counts differ substantially. The RX 9060 XT LP packs 29,700 million transistors on a 199 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 149.2 million per square millimeter. The Ryzen Z2 A GPU contains 2,400 million transistors on a 163 mm² die, with a density of 14.7 million per square millimeter. The RX 9060 XT LP therefore has over 12 times the transistor count on a die that is only about 22% larger in area.

Clock speeds also separate the two. The RX 9060 XT LP has a base clock of 1380 MHz, a boost clock of 3050 MHz, and a game clock of 2450 MHz. Its memory runs at 2518 MHz with 20.1 Gbps effective. The Ryzen Z2 A GPU has a base clock of 1000 MHz and a boost clock of 1600 MHz, with no game clock listed. Its memory runs at 800 MHz with 6.4 Gbps effective. The RX 9060 XT LP boosts to nearly double the Ryzen Z2 A GPU's boost frequency.

Memory configurations use different technologies. The RX 9060 XT LP uses 16 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, achieving 322.3 GB/s of bandwidth. The Ryzen Z2 A GPU also has 16 GB, but uses LPDDR5 on the same 128-bit bus, delivering 102.4 GB/s. The RX 9060 XT LP has three times the memory bandwidth despite the same capacity and bus width.

Compute resources show a wide gap. The RX 9060 XT LP has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 ROPs, and 32 ray tracing cores. The Ryzen Z2 A GPU has 512 shading units, 32 TMUs, 16 ROPs, and 8 ray tracing cores. In every category, the RX 9060 XT LP has four times the resources of the Ryzen Z2 A GPU.

Pixel and texture rates follow proportionally. The RX 9060 XT LP achieves 195.2 GPixel/s and 390.4 GTexel/s. The Ryzen Z2 A GPU achieves 25.60 GPixel/s and 51.20 GTexel/s. The RX 9060 XT LP is roughly 7.6 times faster in pixel throughput and 7.6 times faster in texture throughput.

Floating point performance uses different ratios. The RX 9060 XT LP delivers 24.99 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16 at a 1:1 ratio. The Ryzen Z2 A GPU delivers 1.638 TFLOPS for FP32 and 3.277 TFLOPS for FP16 at a 2:1 ratio. The RX 9060 XT LP has about 15.3 times the FP32 throughput. The FP16 ratio difference indicates the Ryzen Z2 A GPU halves its FP16 rate relative to FP32, while the RX 9060 XT LP maintains parity.

Power characteristics differ dramatically. The RX 9060 XT LP has a TDP of 140 W, requires a single 8-pin power connector, and suggests a 300 W power supply. It is a dual-slot card with a PCIe 5.0 x16 bus interface. The Ryzen Z2 A GPU has a TDP of 15 W, lists no power connector, no suggested PSU, and no bus interface. Its display output is a single USB Type-C connection. The RX 9060 XT LP offers 1x HDMI 2.1b and 2x DisplayPort 2.1a outputs.

Both GPUs support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Neither has tensor cores listed. The RX 9060 XT LP was released in December 2025, while the Ryzen Z2 A GPU was released in December 2024, a year earlier. Both are marked as Active in production status.

Where Each One Wins

The RX 9060 XT LP wins in every measurable performance category where data exists. Its recorded Geekbench OpenCL score of 88183 and Vulkan score of 39476 establish it as a functional discrete GPU with measurable output. Its 89th percentile ranking across all GPUs in the database places it in the upper tier of recorded hardware. The nearest rival deltas, all within 0.6%, show that it performs in line with other mid-to-high range cards in the database.

The Ryzen Z2 A GPU has no recorded benchmark scores, so no measured wins can be assigned to it. Its 50th percentile placement is not supported by any benchmark data in the database. However, its specifications suggest a different purpose. The 15 W TDP, 16 GB of LPDDR5 memory, and single USB Type-C output indicate an integrated or mobile-class solution designed for low-power operation rather than peak throughput. The 102.4 GB/s bandwidth and 1.638 TFLOPS FP32 throughput are sufficient for lightweight graphics workloads, but the database contains no measurements to confirm real-world performance.

For use cases requiring raw compute, high frame rates, or ray tracing, the RX 9060 XT LP has the only recorded evidence of capability. The Ryzen Z2 A GPU offers a much lower power envelope, which may suit constrained thermal or battery scenarios, but that advantage is not quantified in the database.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports selecting the RX 9060 XT LP for any workload requiring measurable graphics performance. It has benchmark scores in the database, an 89th percentile ranking, and a full set of performance specifications: 24.99 TFLOPS FP32, 322.3 GB/s memory bandwidth, and 32 ray tracing cores. Its nearest rivals are all within 0.6% of its average score, confirming it is competitively positioned in its performance tier.

The Ryzen Z2 A GPU has no recorded benchmarks, so the database provides no evidence of its performance. Its specifications indicate a much lower power design at 15 W with 1.638 TFLOPS FP32 and 102.4 GB/s bandwidth. For users whose primary requirement is low power consumption in a compact form factor, the Ryzen Z2 A GPU is the only one of the two with a 15 W envelope. The RX 9060 XT LP uses 140 W and is a dual-slot card with a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface.

The data does not support a performance-based recommendation for the Ryzen Z2 A GPU. It does support a power-based distinction: the 15 W TDP is substantially lower than 140 W. The RX 9060 XT LP is the choice for measured performance, while the Ryzen Z2 A GPU is defined by its efficiency profile in the absence of benchmark data.
