AMD Ryzen Z1 GPU vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded benchmark data for the AMD Ryzen Z1 GPU and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER tells a heavily one-sided story, though the two products occupy completely different segments. The RTX 5070 SUPER is the only one of the two with a benchmark entry in the database, scoring 2690 points in the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. The Ryzen Z1 GPU has no recorded benchmark scores, meaning the head-to-head comparison relies entirely on the NVIDIA part's measured performance and the architectural specifications of both.

The RTX 5070 SUPER's score of 2690 places it in the 18th percentile among all GPUs in the database, which indicates that it outperforms the majority of recorded graphics cards. Its nearest rivals in the database are the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M at 2664 points, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 at 2662 points, the Intel Arc Pro B50 at 2660 points, and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 at 2645 points. The delta percentages are narrow: the RTX 5070 SUPER leads the Quadro K1100M by 1%, the GT 1030 by 1.1%, the Arc Pro B50 by 1.1%, and the GT 440 by 1.7%. These small margins suggest that the 5070 SUPER's recorded performance is tightly clustered with these lower-end parts, which is an unusual position for a GeForce 50-series product but reflects the specific benchmark conditions recorded.

Since the Ryzen Z1 GPU has no benchmark entries, its wins column is zero, and the RTX 5070 SUPER also records zero wins in the head-to-head array because no direct comparative tests exist. The data confirms that the RTX 5070 SUPER delivers measurable performance in the Steel Nomad test, while the Ryzen Z1 GPU's performance profile cannot be quantified from the database. The 5070 SUPER's FP32 compute throughput is 32.15 TFLOPS, its texture rate is 502.4 GTexel/s, and its pixel rate is 201.0 GPixel/s, all of which are orders of magnitude higher than the Ryzen Z1 GPU's figures of 2.560 TFLOPS, 40.00 GTexel/s, and 20.00 GPixel/s respectively.

The RTX 5070 SUPER also dominates in memory bandwidth, with 672.0 GB/s from its 18 GB GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus, versus the Ryzen Z1 GPU's 51.20 GB/s from 16 GB LPDDR5 on a 64-bit bus. That bandwidth difference is over 13 times in favor of the NVIDIA part, which directly impacts fill-rate-heavy workloads. The RTX 5070 SUPER's shading unit count of 6400 dwarfs the Ryzen Z1 GPU's 256 shaders, and its 200 texture mapping units versus 16, along with 80 render output units versus 8, confirm a massive throughput advantage across every rasterization stage.

The Verdict

The benchmark data indicates that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER is the only one of the two with a recorded performance score, and that score, 2690 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, establishes it as a functional if modest performer relative to the database's percentile ranking. The 18th percentile placement means the 5070 SUPER sits in the lower range of all recorded GPUs, yet it still produces a measurable result. The AMD Ryzen Z1 GPU, by contrast, has no benchmark entries at all, so no performance verdict can be derived from the database; its percentile rank of 50 is a placeholder rather than a measured outcome.

For users who require a discrete graphics card with verified output capabilities, the RTX 5070 SUPER is the only choice between the two, given its display outputs of 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b, its PCIe 5.0 x16 interface, and its dual-slot form factor. The Ryzen Z1 GPU lists no outputs, no bus interface, and no slot width, which aligns with its likely role as an integrated or embedded solution rather than a standalone add-in board. The data shows that the 5070 SUPER delivers 32.15 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, 50 RT cores, and 200 tensor cores, all of which are absent from the Ryzen Z1 GPU's specification (tensor cores are null, RT cores are 4).

The verdict from the database is straightforward: the RTX 5070 SUPER is a real, measurable graphics processor with a recorded benchmark, while the Ryzen Z1 GPU is a low-power part with no measured performance. The RTX 5070 SUPER's launch status is active, its release date is recorded as 2025-12-31, and it carries a 275 W TDP. The Ryzen Z1 GPU has a 30 W TDP, a launch MSRP of 599 USD, and a release date of 2023-09-17. For any application requiring verified graphics output and a benchmark score, the RTX 5070 SUPER is the only defensible selection based on the recorded data.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural families. The AMD Ryzen Z1 GPU uses the RDNA 3.0 architecture on a chip codenamed Phoenix, fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER uses the Blackwell 2.0 architecture on the GB205 chip, also fabricated at TSMC but on a 5 nm process. The transistor counts differ: the Phoenix chip contains 25,390 million transistors on a 178 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 142.6 million per square millimeter. The GB205 chip packs 31,100 million transistors onto a 263 mm² die, for a density of 118.3 million per square millimeter. The Ryzen Z1 GPU's denser packing is a direct consequence of the smaller 4 nm node.

The RTX 5070 SUPER implements 50 RT cores and 200 tensor cores, hardware units dedicated to ray tracing and AI workloads, while the Ryzen Z1 GPU has only 4 RT cores and no tensor core count listed. The shading infrastructure also diverges sharply: 6400 shading units, 200 TMUs, and 80 ROPs on the NVIDIA part versus 256 shading units, 16 TMUs, and 8 ROPs on the AMD part. The FP16 throughput tells a telling story: the RTX 5070 SUPER delivers 32.15 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio to FP32, meaning it does not halve its rate for half-precision work, while the Ryzen Z1 GPU achieves 5.120 TFLOPS FP16 but only at a 2:1 ratio, meaning its FP16 rate is double its FP32 rate. That indicates the AMD part uses a packed math approach typical of RDNA architectures, while the NVIDIA part offers full-rate FP16.

Memory architecture also differs fundamentally. The Ryzen Z1 GPU uses LPDDR5 memory with a 64-bit bus and 51.20 GB/s bandwidth, while the RTX 5070 SUPER uses GDDR7 with a 192-bit bus and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth. The memory clocks reflect this: 6.4 Gbps effective for the AMD part versus 28 Gbps effective for the NVIDIA part. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API-level feature parity exists, but the hardware capabilities beneath those APIs are vastly different.

Specification Differences

The two products differ across nearly every measurable specification in the database. The RTX 5070 SUPER has a base clock of 2325 MHz and a boost clock of 2512 MHz, while the Ryzen Z1 GPU runs at a 1500 MHz base and 2500 MHz boost. The NVIDIA part's memory size is 18 GB, its type is GDDR7, its bus width is 192 bit, and its bandwidth is 672.0 GB/s. The AMD part has 16 GB of LPDDR5 on a 64-bit bus with 51.20 GB/s bandwidth. The RTX 5070 SUPER's pixel rate is 201.0 GPixel/s and its texture rate is 502.4 GTexel/s, versus 20.00 GPixel/s and 40.00 GTexel/s for the Ryzen Z1 GPU.

Power and physical specifications diverge as well. The RTX 5070 SUPER has a 275 W TDP, a dual-slot width, a single 16-pin power connector, and a PCIe 5.0 x16 bus interface. The Ryzen Z1 GPU has a 30 W TDP, no slot width listed, no power connectors (None), and no bus interface listed. The RTX 5070 SUPER's dimensions are 245 mm in length, 115 mm in height, and 40 mm in width, while the Ryzen Z1 GPU measures 280 mm long, 111 mm tall, and 21 mm wide, though the AMD part has no display outputs while the NVIDIA part provides 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b. The RTX 5070 SUPER has a launch MSRP of null in the database, while the Ryzen Z1 GPU has a launch MSRP of 599 USD. The RTX 5070 SUPER's release date is 2025-12-31, and the Ryzen Z1 GPU's is 2023-09-17.
