AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT vs AMD Ryzen Z2 Go GPU Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT and the AMD Ryzen Z2 Go GPU. The RX 9070 XT has an extensive benchmark suite, while the Ryzen Z2 Go GPU has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. This makes a direct numeric comparison impossible.

Instead, the available data allows for a comparison of their absolute performance ceilings through the RX 9070 XT's scores. The RX 9070 XT achieves an average benchmark score of 13543 across all recorded tests. Its percentile rank of 55 among all GPUs places it slightly above the median. The nearest rivals to the RX 9070 XT, based on average score, include the AMD Radeon HD 7770M (13536, 0.1% behind), the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 (13515, 0.2% behind), the NVIDIA P106-090 (13470, 0.5% behind), and the AMD Radeon Pro 555 (13407, 1% behind). These deltas are extremely small, indicating that the RX 9070 XT's average score sits within a tight cluster of older or lower-tier discrete GPUs.

Looking at individual tests, the RX 9070 XT posts its highest score in Geekbench Vulkan at 65879, followed by Passmark G3D at 26795 and Geekbench OpenCL at 17428. The Passmark GPU Compute score is 15864. The lowest recorded scores are in the legacy Passmark DirectX tests: DirectX 9 at 353, DirectX 11 at 292, DirectX 10 at 154, and DirectX 12 at 78.

The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU, by contrast, has no benchmark entries. Its percentile rank of 50 is derived from the overall distribution of GPUs in the database, but without any recorded scores, no performance conclusions can be drawn from measurements. The database shows zero wins for either part in head-to-head testing, and the wins counters for both items are zero.

The Verdict

The data indicates a clear split between the two GPUs, but only one side has measurable performance. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT is an active, fully benchmarked discrete graphics card with a 55th percentile rank and an average score of 13543. It belongs to the Radeon RX 9000 series and is built on the Navi 48 chip with RDNA 4.0 architecture.

The AMD Ryzen Z2 Go GPU is an active product with no recorded benchmarks. Its 50th percentile rank is the only performance-related statistic available, and that figure is not derived from any measured test. The absence of scores means the database cannot validate its performance in any workload.

For anyone selecting a GPU based on recorded data, the choice is straightforward: the RX 9070 XT has verified performance figures, while the Ryzen Z2 Go GPU does not. Builders who require measured benchmark evidence should consider the RX 9070 XT, as its scores are present and its percentile rank is higher. The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU may serve specific use cases, but the database currently offers no performance validation for it.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ across nearly every specification field. The RX 9070 XT uses a 4 nm process node, while the Ryzen Z2 Go GPU uses a 6 nm node. Both are fabricated by TSMC.

Transistor counts differ substantially: the RX 9070 XT has 53,900 million transistors on a 357 mm² die, giving a density of 151.0M per mm². The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU has 13,100 million transistors on a 208 mm² die, with a density of 63.0M per mm².

Clock speeds show a large gap. The RX 9070 XT has a base clock of 1660 MHz, a boost clock of 2970 MHz, and a game clock of 2400 MHz. The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU has a base clock of 800 MHz and a boost clock of 2700 MHz, with no game clock listed. Memory clocks also differ: the RX 9070 XT runs at 2518 MHz (20.1 Gbps effective), while the Ryzen Z2 Go GPU runs at 800 MHz (6.4 Gbps effective).

Memory configuration differs in type and bus width. The RX 9070 XT uses 16 GB of GDDR6 on a 256 bit bus, yielding 644.6 GB/s of bandwidth. The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU uses 16 GB of LPDDR5 on a 128 bit bus, yielding 102.4 GB/s of bandwidth.

The compute units scale accordingly. The RX 9070 XT has 4096 shading units, 256 TMUs, 128 ROPs, and 64 RT cores. The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU has 768 shading units, 48 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and 12 RT cores.

Power figures diverge sharply. The RX 9070 XT has a TDP of 304 W, uses 2x 8-pin power connectors, and requires a 700 W suggested PSU. The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU has a TDP of 28 W, uses no power connectors, and has no suggested PSU listed.

Form factor and outputs also differ. The RX 9070 XT is dual-slot with a PCIe 5.0 x16 bus interface and outputs of 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1a. The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU has no slot width listed, no bus interface listed, and a single USB Type-C display output.

Architecture Differences

The RX 9070 XT is built on RDNA 4.0 architecture, designated as Navi IV generation from the RX 9000 series. The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU is built on RDNA 2.0 architecture, designated as a Console GPU generation. The RX 9070 XT uses the Navi 48 chip, while the Ryzen Z2 Go GPU uses the Rembrandt+ chip.

Process technology is a key divider. The RX 9070 XT is fabricated on a 4 nm node, while the Ryzen Z2 Go GPU uses a 6 nm node. Both come from TSMC. The transistor density reflects this difference: 151.0M per mm² for the RX 9070 XT versus 63.0M per mm² for the Ryzen Z2 Go GPU.

Compute capacity differs in both scale and precision. The RX 9070 XT delivers 48.66 TFLOPS of FP32 and 48.66 TFLOPS of FP16 at a 1:1 ratio. The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU delivers 4.147 TFLOPS of FP32 and 8.294 TFLOPS of FP16 at a 2:1 ratio. The FP16 behavior alone shows a fundamental architectural difference: the RX 9070 XT has equal FP16 and FP32 throughput, while the Ryzen Z2 Go GPU has half-rate FP16 relative to FP32.

Pixel and texture rates follow the same pattern. The RX 9070 XT reaches 380.2 GPixel/s and 760.3 GTexel/s. The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU reaches 86.40 GPixel/s and 129.6 GTexel/s.

API support is identical in both parts: DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

Release dates place the RX 9070 XT as the newer product, launched in March 2025. The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU was released in December 2024. The RX 9070 XT has a launch MSRP of 599 USD. The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU has no launch MSRP listed.

Where Each One Wins

The RX 9070 XT wins on every measured category in the database. It has recorded benchmark scores across 10 tests, an average score of 13543, and a percentile rank of 55. Its compute resources are larger in every category: shading units, TMUs, ROPs, and RT cores. Its memory bandwidth of 644.6 GB/s is over six times the Ryzen Z2 Go GPU's 102.4 GB/s. Its FP32 throughput of 48.66 TFLOPS is more than eleven times the Ryzen Z2 Go GPU's 4.147 TFLOPS.

The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU wins on power efficiency in structural terms. Its 28 W TDP is dramatically lower than the RX 9070 XT's 304 W, and it requires no external power connectors. It also uses a smaller die at 208 mm² versus 357 mm², and its 6 nm process is older but the lower transistor count and power draw make it suitable for constrained environments. However, none of these advantages translate into recorded benchmark wins, as the database contains no test scores for this GPU.

For use cases, the RX 9070 XT is the only part with verified performance data. It suits workloads that demand high raw throughput, such as modern DirectX 12 or Vulkan applications, based on its Geekbench Vulkan score of 65879 and Passmark G3D score of 26795. Its 16 GB GDDR6 memory and 644.6 GB/s bandwidth support high-resolution textures and large datasets.

The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU, with no benchmark data, cannot be assigned a performance win in any category. Its 16 GB LPDDR5 memory and 102.4 GB/s bandwidth are recorded, but without scores, the database cannot confirm how those specifications translate into real-world results. Its low 28 W TDP and lack of power connectors suggest deployment in low-power or portable systems, but that remains a structural observation rather than a measured outcome.
