AMD Ryzen Z2 A GPU vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a decisive performance gap between these two GPUs, though the comparison is limited by the fact that the AMD Ryzen Z2 A GPU has no benchmark scores listed in the database. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, by contrast, has a full suite of ten benchmark results across multiple testing applications, giving it an average benchmark score of 31,087 and placing it in the 76th percentile of all GPUs tracked by the database.

In the absence of any recorded benchmark scores for the AMD Ryzen Z2 A GPU, the head-to-head comparison rests entirely on the NVIDIA card's measured results and the architectural specifications of both parts. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER delivers a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5,569, a Geekbench OpenCL score of 199,267, and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 53,683. In PassMark testing, the NVIDIA card records 31,811 in the G3D test, 18,372 in GPU compute, 1,225 in G2D, 360 in DirectX 9, 278 in DirectX 11, 181 in DirectX 10, and 119 in DirectX 12. These results indicate a card that is competitive with its nearest rivals, sitting only 0.4% below the NVIDIA Quadro M5000's average score of 31,206 and 0.4% below the NVIDIA GRID M60-1Q's 31,220. It trails the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell by 1.4% (that card scores 31,532) and the NVIDIA TITAN RTX by 1.9% (31,676).

The AMD Ryzen Z2 A GPU has zero benchmark entries, zero wins, and an average benchmark score of zero in the database. Its percentile rank of 50 places it at the median of all tracked GPUs, but that rank is derived from its specifications rather than from any recorded performance measurements. The data cannot support any claim of a head-to-head victory for the AMD part because no test results exist for it.

Where Each One Wins

Based strictly on the recorded data, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER wins every category where measurements exist. Its 44.10 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, 250.6 GPixel/s pixel rate, and 689.0 GTexel/s texture rate dwarf the corresponding figures for the AMD Ryzen Z2 A GPU, which delivers 1.638 TFLOPS FP32, 25.60 GPixel/s, and 51.20 GTexel/s respectively. The NVIDIA card's 8,448 shading units, 264 texture mapping units, and 96 render output units far exceed the AMD part's 512 shading units, 32 TMUs, and 16 ROPs.

The AMD Ryzen Z2 A GPU does hold advantages in specific areas that are not performance-related. Its thermal design power of 15 W is dramatically lower than the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 285 W, which means the AMD part is suited to ultra-low-power environments such as handheld consoles. The AMD card also uses a 128-bit LPDDR5 memory interface with 16 GB capacity and 102.4 GB/s bandwidth, while the NVIDIA card uses a 256-bit GDDR6X interface with 16 GB capacity and 672.3 GB/s bandwidth. The NVIDIA card's memory bandwidth is 6.6 times higher, which directly impacts texture-heavy workloads and high-resolution rendering.

The AMD Ryzen Z2 A GPU features 8 ray tracing cores and supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, matching the NVIDIA card's API support. The NVIDIA card has 66 RT cores and 264 tensor cores, which enable hardware-accelerated ray tracing and AI workloads that the AMD part cannot match given its lack of tensor cores.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from entirely different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen Z2 A GPU uses the Van Gogh chip built on RDNA 2.0 architecture, fabricated on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It contains 2,400 million transistors on a 163 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 14.7 million per square millimeter. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER uses the AD103 chip built on Ada Lovelace architecture, fabricated on a 5 nm process also at TSMC. It contains 45,900 million transistors on a 379 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 121.1 million per square millimeter. The NVIDIA chip has 19.1 times more transistors on a die that is only 2.3 times larger, reflecting the denser 5 nm process.

Clock speeds differ substantially. The AMD card runs at a base clock of 1000 MHz and boosts to 1600 MHz, with memory clocked at 800 MHz (6.4 Gbps effective). The NVIDIA card runs at a base clock of 2340 MHz and boosts to 2610 MHz, with memory clocked at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). The NVIDIA card's boost clock is 63% higher than the AMD card's boost clock.

Memory architecture also diverges. The AMD part uses LPDDR5 memory, which is designed for low power consumption and is commonly found in mobile and console applications. The NVIDIA part uses GDDR6X, a high-bandwidth memory type designed for desktop graphics cards. Despite both having 16 GB capacity, the NVIDIA card's 256-bit bus width and 672.3 GB/s bandwidth vastly exceed the AMD card's 128-bit bus and 102.4 GB/s bandwidth.

The FP16 computation rates reveal a key architectural difference. The AMD card delivers 3.277 TFLOPS of FP16 performance at a 2:1 ratio relative to FP32, meaning it uses half the throughput for half-precision work. The NVIDIA card delivers 44.10 TFLOPS of FP16 at a 1:1 ratio, meaning full-rate FP16 performance equal to its FP32 throughput. This makes the NVIDIA card significantly stronger for machine learning and compute workloads that leverage half-precision arithmetic.

Physical specifications differ as well. The NVIDIA card is a triple-slot design measuring 310 mm in length, 140 mm in height, and 61 mm in width. It requires a 1x 16-pin power connector and a 600 W suggested power supply. The AMD card has no listed slot width, dimensions, power connector, or suggested PSU, reflecting its 15 W TDP that requires no external power. The NVIDIA card uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 bus interface, while the AMD card has no listed bus interface. Display outputs also differ: the AMD card has 1x USB Type-C, while the NVIDIA card has 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a.

The Verdict

The data presents a straightforward conclusion: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the vastly more powerful GPU in every measurable performance metric. Its FP32 throughput of 44.10 TFLOPS is approximately 27 times higher than the AMD card's 1.638 TFLOPS. Its pixel rate of 250.6 GPixel/s is nearly ten times higher than the AMD card's 25.60 GPixel/s. Its texture rate of 689.0 GTexel/s is more than thirteen times higher than the AMD card's 51.20 GTexel/s. The NVIDIA card also carries 16.5 times more shading units, 8.25 times more TMUs, and 6 times more ROPs.

The AMD Ryzen Z2 A GPU is not a competitive desktop graphics solution; it is a low-power embedded processor with a 15 W TDP, designed for power-constrained devices. Its 50th percentile ranking among all GPUs reflects its specification-based position, but without any benchmark scores, the database cannot verify its real-world performance. The NVIDIA card's 76th percentile ranking is backed by ten actual test results.

Users who need maximum rendering performance, ray tracing capability, or compute throughput should select the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. Its tensor cores enable AI acceleration, its 66 RT cores handle ray-traced workloads, and its 672.3 GB/s memory bandwidth supports high-resolution textures. Users who require minimal power consumption and a compact footprint with no external power connector should consider the AMD Ryzen Z2 A GPU, but they must accept the massive performance deficit. The NVIDIA card is the only one of the two with recorded performance data, and that data shows a dominant position relative to its nearest rivals, while the AMD card offers no measured evidence of competitive performance.
