AMD Ryzen Z1 GPU vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the AMD Ryzen Z1 GPU and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and neither part has a benchmark score entered for the Ryzen Z1 GPU. The RTX 5080 SUPER has one recorded benchmark result: a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3075. That score places the RTX 5080 SUPER at the 19th percentile among all GPUs in the database, meaning 81% of recorded GPUs score higher. The Ryzen Z1 GPU carries a 50th percentile ranking, though no actual benchmark score is attached to it, so its percentile is not derived from a measured workload in the database.

The RTX 5080 SUPER's nearest rivals in the database provide context for its 3075 score. The NVIDIA Quadro P1000 averages 3163, which is 2.8% higher than the RTX 5080 SUPER. The Intel Arc Pro B60 averages 3182, 3.4% higher. On the lower side, the NVIDIA GeForce 820A averages 2983, which is 3.1% lower than the RTX 5080 SUPER. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M averages 2967, 3.6% lower. The RTX 5080 SUPER therefore sits in a narrow band: within roughly 3.6% of all four nearest rivals, with a spread of only about 215 points between the highest and lowest of these adjacent scores. This clustering suggests the RTX 5080 SUPER's measured DX12 performance is close to that of mid-range mobile and workstation GPUs from earlier generations, despite its modern architecture and large memory configuration.

Because the Ryzen Z1 GPU has no benchmark entries, its peak FP32 throughput of 2.560 TFLOPS cannot be compared against the RTX 5080 SUPER's 56.28 TFLOPS through measured scores. The raw compute figures differ by a factor of roughly 22, but the database does not provide a benchmark result for the Z1 GPU to confirm real-world performance. The RTX 5080 SUPER's texture rate is 879.3 GTexel/s versus 40.00 GTexel/s for the Z1 GPU, and its pixel rate is 293.1 GPixel/s versus 20.00 GPixel/s. These are specification-level differences, not benchmark-derived deltas.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear split based on use case, but only for the RTX 5080 SUPER is there measured evidence. The RTX 5080 SUPER has a recorded 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3075 and a 19th percentile ranking. The Ryzen Z1 GPU has no recorded scores, so any verdict on it must rely on its specifications and its 50th percentile ranking. The Z1 GPU is a 30 W part with 256 shading units, 16 TMUs, and 8 ROPs, paired with 16 GB of LPDDR5 memory on a 64-bit bus delivering 51.20 GB/s. The RTX 5080 SUPER is a 415 W part with 10752 shading units, 336 TMUs, and 112 ROPs, paired with 24 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus delivering 1.02 TB/s.

From a pure compute standpoint, the RTX 5080 SUPER delivers 56.28 TFLOPS FP32 and 56.28 TFLOPS FP16 (1:1), while the Z1 GPU delivers 2.560 TFLOPS FP32 and 5.120 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1). The RTX 5080 SUPER also has 84 RT cores and 336 tensor cores; the Z1 GPU has 4 RT cores and no tensor cores. The RTX 5080 SUPER uses a 304 mm board, requires a 16-pin power connector, and is dual-slot. The Z1 GPU has no display outputs and no power connectors, reflecting its intended role as an embedded or console-class processor rather than a discrete desktop graphics card.

The verdict from the database is that the RTX 5080 SUPER is the only one of the two with measured benchmark evidence, and its score places it near several older mid-range GPUs. The Ryzen Z1 GPU's 50th percentile ranking suggests it sits at the median of all recorded GPUs, but without a benchmark score, that ranking cannot be verified against the RTX 5080 SUPER's 19th percentile. The two parts are not in the same performance class by any recorded metric.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 5080 SUPER wins on every specification category where the database provides numbers. Its FP32 throughput is 56.28 TFLOPS versus 2.560 TFLOPS for the Z1 GPU. Its FP16 throughput is 56.28 TFLOPS versus 5.120 TFLOPS. Its memory bandwidth is 1.02 TB/s versus 51.20 GB/s. Its memory capacity is 24 GB versus 16 GB. Its texture rate is 879.3 GTexel/s versus 40.00 GTexel/s. Its pixel rate is 293.1 GPixel/s versus 20.00 GPixel/s. Its RT core count is 84 versus 4, and its tensor core count is 336 versus none.

The Ryzen Z1 GPU wins on power draw: 30 W versus 415 W.

The Z1 GPU's 4 nm process node is smaller than the RTX 5080 SUPER's 5 nm node. The Z1 GPU's physical footprint is smaller as well: 280 mm length, 111 mm height, and 21 mm width, versus 304 mm, 137 mm, and 40 mm. The Z1 GPU requires no power connector, while the RTX 5080 SUPER uses one 16-pin connector.

In terms of API support, both parts support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The Z1 GPU has no display outputs, while the RTX 5080 SUPER has 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b. The RTX 5080 SUPER uses PCIe 5.0 x16; the Z1 GPU has no listed bus interface.
