AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme GPU vs Lisuan Tech LX MAX Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no recorded benchmark scores for either the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme GPU or the Lisuan Tech LX MAX. Neither device has a single entry in the benchmark results table, and their average benchmark scores both sit at 0. The head-to-head comparison fields are empty, meaning there are no measured frame rates, compute scores, or synthetic test results to compare directly.

Both products occupy the 50th percentile in the database's overall GPU rankings. This percentile placement indicates that, based on the available data, each sits at the midpoint of all tracked graphics hardware. Without concrete benchmark numbers, the percentile values cannot be validated against actual performance measurements. The absence of data means any claims about which part is faster in real-world workloads remain unsubstantiated.

The compute specifications, however, provide a theoretical comparison. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX delivers 24.58 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, while the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme GPU produces 8.294 TFLOPS. This difference places the LX MAX at roughly three times the raw floating-point throughput of the Z1 Extreme. The FP16 figures follow the same pattern: the LX MAX reaches 49.15 TFLOPS versus 16.59 TFLOPS for the Z1 Extreme, both using a 2:1 ratio.

Pixel and texture rates show a similar divergence. The LX MAX renders 192.0 GPixel/s and 384.0 GTexel/s, while the Z1 Extreme manages 86.40 GPixel/s and 129.6 GTexel/s. The LX MAX more than doubles the pixel throughput and nearly triples the texture fill rate. These figures suggest the LX MAX has a substantial theoretical advantage in fill-rate-bound scenarios, though no benchmark data confirms how this translates into playable frame rates.

Architecture Differences

The two chips come from different architectural lineages. The AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme GPU uses the RDNA 3.0 architecture on a 4 nm TSMC process. Its die measures 178 mm² and contains 25,390 million transistors, yielding a transistor density of 142.6 million per square millimeter. The chip is designated as Phoenix and belongs to the Console GPU generation.

The Lisuan Tech LX MAX uses an architecture labeled TrueGPU on a 6 nm TSMC process. Its chip is identified as 7G106 and belongs to the 7G100 generation. The transistor count and die size are listed as unknown, so no density figure can be calculated. The process node difference, 4 nm versus 6 nm, gives the AMD part a manufacturing advantage in terms of feature size, though the LX MAX compensates with a larger shading engine.

The AMD chip packs 768 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, and 32 raster operation units. It also includes 12 ray tracing cores. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX carries 6,144 shading units, 192 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. Its ray tracing core count is not listed in the database, meaning the hardware may rely on a different approach to ray tracing or the information is simply unavailable.

Memory architectures diverge significantly. The Z1 Extreme uses 16 GB of LPDDR5 memory on a 64-bit bus, producing 51.20 GB/s of bandwidth. Memory clocks run at 800 MHz with 6.4 Gbps effective data rate. The LX MAX uses 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its memory clock operates at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective. The LX MAX offers over eight times the memory bandwidth despite having 4 GB less capacity.

Power delivery differs sharply as well. The Z1 Extreme has a TDP of 30 W and requires no power connectors. The LX MAX draws 225 W and uses a single 16-pin connector, with a suggested PSU of 550 W. The AMD part's low power envelope reflects its console-oriented design, while the LX MAX clearly targets desktop expansion slots.

API support shows both parts handle modern graphics standards. The Z1 Extreme supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The LX MAX supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3. The Vulkan revision differs by one minor version, with the AMD part holding a newer implementation.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme GPU wins in power efficiency. Its 30 W TDP allows operation without any power connectors, making it suitable for compact or power-constrained systems. The 4 nm process node provides a smaller die and higher transistor density, which typically correlates with improved efficiency per watt. The Z1 Extreme also holds the newest Vulkan implementation at 1.4, which may matter for applications targeting the latest API features.

The Lisuan Tech LX MAX wins in raw compute capacity. Its FP32 output of 24.58 TFLOPS dwarfs the Z1 Extreme's 8.294 TFLOPS. The 6,144 shading units, 192 TMUs, and 96 ROPs give it a massive execution resource pool. The 432.0 GB/s memory bandwidth, delivered through a 192-bit GDDR6 interface, allows data movement at a scale the Z1 Extreme cannot approach. The LX MAX also offers four DisplayPort 1.4a outputs versus a single USB Type-C on the AMD part, making it more flexible for multi-monitor setups.

For gaming workloads, the LX MAX's higher pixel rate of 192.0 GPixel/s versus 86.40 GPixel/s suggests better performance at high resolutions. The texture rate of 384.0 GTexel/s versus 129.6 GTexel/s points to stronger detailed texture handling. The Z1 Extreme's 12 ray tracing cores provide dedicated hardware for ray-traced effects, while the LX MAX has no listed ray tracing core count, leaving its ray tracing capability unknown.

The Z1 Extreme's 16 GB memory capacity exceeds the LX MAX's 12 GB. For workloads that require large memory footprints, such as certain content creation tasks or high-resolution texture packs, the AMD part holds a capacity advantage despite its bandwidth limitation.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear split based on use case. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX is the choice for users who need maximum compute throughput. Its 24.58 TFLOPS FP32 performance, 432.0 GB/s bandwidth, and 6,144 shading units position it as a high-performance desktop card for demanding graphics workloads. The 225 W TDP and 550 W suggested PSU indicate it expects a full desktop power delivery system.

The AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme GPU suits scenarios where power consumption and physical footprint matter most. Its 30 W TDP, lack of power connectors, and slim 21 mm width make it adaptable to unusual form factors. The 699 USD launch MSRP, while listed once here, reflects its positioning as a premium low-power component. Its 16 GB of LPDDR5 memory provides generous capacity within a constrained power budget.

Neither product has recorded benchmark scores in the database, so the verdict relies entirely on theoretical specifications. The LX MAX's compute and memory advantages are substantial and consistent across every measured metric except memory capacity and power draw. The Z1 Extreme's advantages are efficiency, process node, and newer Vulkan support. Users prioritizing raw performance should select the LX MAX; users prioritizing low power draw and compact dimensions should select the Z1 Extreme.
