AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme GPU vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data splits these two parts into completely different roles. The AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme GPU is an integrated graphics solution built into a handheld-class console processor. It is designed for power-constrained, portable operation and carries no standalone benchmark entries in the database. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER is a discrete desktop graphics card with a single recorded 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result. That benchmark score gives it a defined performance position, while the AMD part has no comparable measured workload in the database.

The AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme GPU wins in the efficiency and integration category. Its thermal design power is 30 W, and it requires no external power connectors. The RTX 5070 SUPER draws 275 W and needs a 16-pin connector. The AMD part also fits into a compact 280 mm length, 111 mm height, and 21 mm width package with a single USB Type-C display output. The NVIDIA card is 245 mm long, 115 mm tall, and 40 mm wide, using a dual-slot cooler with one HDMI 2.1b output and three DisplayPort 2.1b outputs.

The NVIDIA part wins in every raw compute metric present in the database. Its FP32 throughput is 32.15 TFLOPS versus 8.294 TFLOPS for the AMD chip. Its pixel rate is 201.0 GPixel/s versus 86.40 GPixel/s. Its texture rate is 502.4 GTexel/s versus 129.6 GTexel/s. Memory bandwidth is 672.0 GB/s versus 51.20 GB/s. The NVIDIA part also carries 18 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus, while the AMD part uses 16 GB of LPDDR5 on a 64-bit bus.

The AMD part has a distinct advantage in transistor density. It packs 25,390 million transistors into a 178 mm² die, yielding 142.6 million transistors per square millimeter. The NVIDIA part has 31,100 million transistors on a 263 mm² die, which is 118.3 million per square millimeter. The AMD chip is built on a 4 nm process from TSMC; the NVIDIA chip uses a 5 nm process from the same foundry. The AMD part is also smaller in physical die area.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme GPU uses the Phoenix chip with RDNA 3.0 architecture and is classified in the database as a console GPU from the AMD generation. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER uses the GB205 chip with Blackwell 2.0 architecture and belongs to the GeForce 50-series generation.

The process node differs: the AMD chip is fabricated on TSMC's 4 nm node, while the NVIDIA chip uses TSMC's 5 nm node. Transistor counts also differ. The AMD chip integrates 25,390 million transistors on a 178 mm² die, while the NVIDIA chip integrates 31,100 million transistors on a 263 mm² die. The smaller AMD die achieves a higher transistor density of 142.6 million per square millimeter, compared with 118.3 million per square millimeter for the NVIDIA die.

The compute pipeline scales differently. The AMD part has 768 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, 32 raster output units, and 12 ray tracing cores. It has no tensor core field recorded. The NVIDIA part has 6,400 shading units, 200 texture mapping units, 80 raster output units, 50 ray tracing cores, and 200 tensor cores. The NVIDIA part supports FP16 at a 1:1 ratio with FP32, both at 32.15 TFLOPS. The AMD part runs FP16 at a 2:1 ratio, delivering 16.59 TFLOPS versus its 8.294 TFLOPS FP32 rate.

Clock behavior also separates the two. The AMD chip has a base clock of 800 MHz and a boost clock of 2,700 MHz. The NVIDIA chip has a base clock of 2,325 MHz and a boost clock of 2,512 MHz. The AMD part's memory clock is listed as 800 MHz with 6.4 Gbps effective; the NVIDIA part's memory clock is 1,750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective.

Memory architecture diverges sharply. The AMD part uses 16 GB of LPDDR5 on a 64-bit bus, delivering 51.20 GB/s. The NVIDIA part uses 18 GB of GDDR7 on a 192-bit bus, delivering 672.0 GB/s, which is over 13 times the bandwidth. The NVIDIA card connects through PCIe 5.0 x16, while the AMD part has no bus interface recorded. The AMD part has no power connectors; the NVIDIA card uses a single 16-pin connector.

Both parts support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme GPU and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER. The wins count for each part is zero in the head-to-head table. However, the NVIDIA part has one standalone benchmark result: a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2,690. This places it at the 18th percentile among all GPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 2,690.

The AMD part has no benchmark entries and an average benchmark score of zero, placing it at the 50th percentile among all GPUs. The percentile values are not directly comparable as performance rankings, since the AMD part's position reflects an entry with no measured scores.

The NVIDIA part's nearest rivals in the database give context to its Steel Nomad result. The NVIDIA Quadro K1100M scores 2,664, which is 1% behind. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 scores 2,662, also 1.1% behind. The Intel Arc Pro B50 scores 2,660, 1.1% behind. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 scores 2,645, 1.7% behind. The RTX 5070 SUPER leads all four of these recorded rivals by a narrow margin, between 1% and 1.7%.

The AMD part's raw specification advantage lies in its clock boost ratio. Its boost clock of 2,700 MHz is 188 MHz higher than the NVIDIA part's boost clock of 2,512 MHz. The AMD base clock of 800 MHz is much lower than the NVIDIA base clock of 2,325 MHz, reflecting the different design targets: the AMD part idles at low clocks for efficiency, while the NVIDIA part runs a high baseline.

The NVIDIA part's fill rate and compute throughput are multiples of the AMD part. The FP32 figure of 32.15 TFLOPS is roughly 3.9 times the AMD part's 8.294 TFLOPS. The texture rate of 502.4 GTexel/s is roughly 3.9 times the AMD part's 129.6 GTexel/s. The pixel rate of 201.0 GPixel/s is roughly 2.3 times the AMD part's 86.40 GPixel/s. The memory bandwidth gap is the largest: 672.0 GB/s versus 51.20 GB/s is a 13.1 times difference.

The Verdict

The data defines two distinct product categories. The AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme GPU is a low-power integrated solution for compact portable systems. It draws 30 W, uses no external power connectors, and fits in a chassis 280 mm long, 111 mm high, and 21 mm wide. It offers 16 GB of LPDDR5 memory and a single USB Type-C display output. Its performance is appropriate for its power envelope, but the database contains no benchmark score to quantify it.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER is a high-power discrete desktop card. It draws 275 W, requires a 16-pin power connector, and occupies a dual-slot cooler. It delivers 18 GB of GDDR7 memory with a 192-bit bus and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth. Its recorded 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2,690 places it at the 18th percentile among all GPUs, closely grouped with the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M, GeForce GT 1030, Intel Arc Pro B50, and GeForce GT 440.

For users selecting between these two parts, the decision follows the system form factor. A portable, power-limited device aligns with the AMD part's 30 W envelope and integrated design. A desktop system that can supply 275 W through a 16-pin connector aligns with the NVIDIA part's compute throughput. The NVIDIA part offers roughly 3.9 times the FP32 throughput and 13.1 times the memory bandwidth of the AMD part, but it consumes about 9.2 times the power. The AMD part's 4 nm process and higher transistor density of 142.6 million per square millimeter show a different engineering priority: density and efficiency over raw throughput.

The RTX 5070 SUPER launch MSRP is not recorded in the database, so no price comparison is possible. The AMD part has a launch MSRP of 699 USD, but this analysis does not assess pricing.
