Analysis: AMD Ryzen Z1 GPU vs Lisuan Tech LX PRO
Where Each One Wins
The AMD Ryzen Z1 GPU and the Lisuan Tech LX PRO occupy completely different positions in the hardware landscape. The Ryzen Z1 GPU is a low-power, integrated-class part designed for compact systems, while the LX PRO is a high-performance, discrete add-in card aimed at demanding workloads. The data shows no overlap in their intended use cases, and the benchmark results, though limited, reinforce this split.
The Ryzen Z1 GPU wins in efficiency and integration. It draws 30 W of power, requires no power connectors, and has no display outputs, meaning it is not meant to drive a monitor directly. Instead, it operates as a companion processor or embedded solution. Its 16 GB of LPDDR5 memory on a 64-bit bus delivers 51.20 GB/s of bandwidth, which is modest but sufficient for its target role. The card measures 280 mm in length, 111 mm in height, and 21 mm in width, making it a low-profile solution. Its 4 nm process node from TSMC allows 25,390 million transistors on a 178 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 142.6M per mm². This is a dense, power-efficient design.
The Lisuan Tech LX PRO wins in raw performance and memory capacity. It offers 24 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, producing 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. That is more than eight times the bandwidth of the Ryzen Z1 GPU. The LX PRO also delivers far higher compute throughput with 24.58 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, compared to 2.560 TFLOPS for the Z1. Its pixel rate of 192.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 384.0 GTexel/s dwarf the Z1's 20.00 GPixel/s and 40.00 GTexel/s. The LX PRO is a dual-slot card requiring a 1x 16-pin power connector and a suggested 550 W power supply. It outputs to four DisplayPort 1.4a connections.
The Z1 wins in power efficiency by a wide margin. At 30 W versus 225 W, the Z1 uses 195 W less power. The Z1 also has a smaller physical footprint in width, at 21 mm versus 48 mm, though it is longer at 280 mm versus 248 mm. The LX PRO is shorter and taller, at 118 mm height versus 111 mm for the Z1.
For integrated or embedded workloads where power draw and physical size constraints dominate, the Ryzen Z1 GPU is the appropriate choice. For dedicated graphics rendering, compute tasks, or multi-display setups, the LX PRO is clearly superior. The data does not support a single winner across all scenarios; it supports two different products for two different jobs.
Architecture Differences
The two GPUs share a foundry, TSMC, but little else in their underlying design. The AMD Ryzen Z1 GPU uses the Phoenix chip with RDNA 3.0 architecture, built on a 4 nm process. The Lisuan Tech LX PRO uses the 7G105 chip with a "TrueGPU" architecture, built on a 6 nm process. The process node difference is significant: 4 nm versus 6 nm. This explains part of the power efficiency gap, as the smaller node generally allows higher density and lower power draw at equivalent performance.
The Ryzen Z1 GPU packs 25,390 million transistors into a 178 mm² die. The LX PRO's transistor count and die size are unknown in the database, so a direct density comparison is not possible. However, the Z1's density is recorded at 142.6M transistors per mm². The LX PRO does not have a recorded density figure.
Core configurations differ substantially. The Z1 has 256 shading units, 16 texture mapping units, and 8 raster operation units. It also includes 4 ray tracing cores. The LX PRO has 6,144 shading units, 192 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. It does not list any ray tracing cores in the database. The LX PRO has 24 times the shading units of the Z1, 12 times the TMUs, and 12 times the ROPs. Neither part lists tensor cores.
Memory architecture is another major divergence. The Z1 uses 16 GB of LPDDR5 on a 64-bit bus, running at 800 MHz with 6.4 Gbps effective speed, yielding 51.20 GB/s. The LX PRO uses 24 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, running at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective speed, yielding 432.0 GB/s. The LX PRO has a wider bus, faster memory, and more capacity.
Clock behavior also differs. The Z1 has explicit base and boost clocks of 1500 MHz and 2500 MHz. The LX PRO has no recorded base or boost clocks in the database, only its memory clock. This makes direct clock-for-clock comparison impossible, but the compute figures already account for the performance gap.
API support is similar but not identical. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) and OpenGL 4.6. The Z1 supports Vulkan 1.4, while the LX PRO supports Vulkan 1.3. The LX PRO adds PCIe 4.0 x16 connectivity, while the Z1 has no recorded bus interface. The Z1 has no display outputs; the LX PRO has four DisplayPort 1.4a outputs.
Power delivery reflects the performance gap. The Z1 is rated at 30 W with no power connectors. The LX PRO is rated at 225 W with a single 16-pin connector and a suggested 550 W power supply. The Z1 ships as a 280 mm long, 111 mm tall, 21 mm wide card. The LX PRO is 248 mm long, 118 mm tall, and 48 mm wide, making it a standard dual-slot card.
Head-to-Head Benchmarks
The database contains no recorded head-to-head benchmark scores for these two GPUs, and neither has any individual benchmark entries or average scores. The percentile ranks are both at 50, indicating the database places them at the median, but no actual performance measurements are available. This means all comparative analysis must rely on the specification-derived rates and throughput figures.
The largest win for the LX PRO is in FP32 compute. It delivers 24.58 TFLOPS against the Z1's 2.560 TFLOPS. That is a 22.02 TFLOPS advantage, or 9.6 times the throughput. The FP16 figures show the same ratio: 49.15 TFLOPS versus 5.120 TFLOPS, again 9.6 times. These numbers indicate the LX PRO is in a different performance class entirely.
Memory bandwidth shows a similarly lopsided result. The LX PRO provides 432.0 GB/s while the Z1 provides 51.20 GB/s. The difference is 380.8 GB/s, meaning the LX PRO has 8.4 times the bandwidth. This affects texture-heavy workloads, large dataset processing, and high-resolution rendering.
Pixel throughput favors the LX PRO by 9.6 times, at 192.0 GPixel/s versus 20.00 GPixel/s. Texture throughput also favors the LX PRO by 9.6 times, at 384.0 GTexel/s versus 40.00 GTexel/s. These ratios are consistent across the board, suggesting the LX PRO scales its entire pipeline proportionally.
Power consumption reverses the comparison. The Z1 draws 30 W versus 225 W for the LX PRO. The Z1 uses 195 W less power, which is 13.3% of the LX PRO's power draw. When considering performance per watt, the Z1 delivers 2.560 TFLOPS at 30 W, or roughly 85.3 GFLOPS per watt. The LX PRO delivers 24.58 TFLOPS at 225 W, or roughly 109.2 GFLOPS per watt. The LX PRO is actually more efficient in raw FP32 per watt, despite its much higher total draw. However, the Z1's advantage in absolute power consumption remains significant for systems with tight power budgets.
The Z1 wins on process node, at 4 nm versus 6 nm. It also wins on transistor density, with a recorded 142.6M per mm², while the LX PRO has no recorded density. The Z1 has a higher Vulkan version, 1.4 versus 1.3. The Z1 also has ray tracing cores, which the LX PRO lacks entirely.
The LX PRO wins on memory capacity, 24 GB versus 16 GB, memory type, GDDR6 versus LPDDR5, bus width, 192-bit versus 64-bit, and memory speed, 18 Gbps effective versus 6.4 Gbps effective. It also has a wider feature set for display output, with four DisplayPort connections versus none.

The Verdict
The data points to a straightforward conclusion: these two GPUs are not competitors. They serve different markets, and the choice depends entirely on the workload and system constraints.
For a system with strict power limits, such as a compact or embedded design, the AMD Ryzen Z1 GPU is the appropriate pick. Its 30 W power draw, lack of external power connectors, and 4 nm process make it suitable for scenarios where heat and energy are limited. Its 16 GB of LPDDR5 memory is generous for its class, and the inclusion of 4 ray tracing cores gives it a feature the LX PRO lacks. The Z1 also has a smaller width at 21 mm, which helps in tight chassis. The Vulkan 1.4 support is a minor but real advantage for compatibility with newer applications.
For a desktop workstation or gaming system with adequate cooling and power delivery, the Lisuan Tech LX PRO is the clear choice. Its 24.58 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, 432.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth, and 24 GB of GDDR6 memory place it in a much higher performance tier. The 192-bit bus and 18 Gbps effective memory speed allow it to handle large datasets and high-resolution textures. The four DisplayPort 1.4a outputs enable multi-monitor setups, which the Z1 cannot support at all. The LX PRO also has more texture mapping units, 192 versus 16, and more ROPs, 96 versus 8, making it far more capable for rasterization-heavy tasks.
The LX PRO is less efficient in absolute power draw, but its performance per watt is actually higher in FP32 terms, at roughly 109.2 GFLOPS per watt versus roughly 85.3 GFLOPS per watt for the Z1. However, the Z1 remains the only option for systems that cannot supply 225 W to a graphics card or accommodate a 48 mm wide, dual-slot card.
The Z1 also has a release date of 2023, while the LX PRO has a release date of 2026. The Z1 has a recorded launch MSRP of 599 USD. The LX PRO has no recorded launch MSRP. Both are listed as Active in production status.
The verdict is clear: choose the Ryzen Z1 GPU for low-power, integrated, or space-constrained builds. Choose the Lisuan Tech LX PRO for performance-oriented desktop systems where power and physical space are available. There is no middle ground in the recorded data.
