AMD Ryzen Z2 A GPU vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains no shared benchmark scores between the AMD Ryzen Z2 A GPU and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile. The database lists zero head-to-head benchmark entries, zero wins for the AMD part, and zero wins for the NVIDIA part. This means direct numerical comparison across identical workloads is not possible from the available measurements.

However, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile has a substantial set of standalone benchmark results in the database. Its average benchmark score is 45152, and it sits at the 84th percentile versus all GPUs. The AMD Ryzen Z2 A GPU, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark scores at all, with an average benchmark score of 0 and a 50th percentile placement. The absence of any recorded tests for the AMD part means the database cannot substantiate any performance claim for it.

The RTX 5090 Mobile shows a wide spread across individual tests. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it records 5871. In Geekbench OpenCL, it scores 201834, and in Geekbench Vulkan, 198405. Passmark G3D yields 30034, while Passmark GPU Compute reaches 13401. Passmark DirectX 10, DirectX 11, DirectX 12, and DirectX 9 scores are 183, 269, 138, and 324 respectively. Passmark G2D records 1057.

Relative to its nearest rivals in the database, the RTX 5090 Mobile performs as follows: it trails the AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT by 0.5 percent, leads the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti by 0.8 percent, trails the Intel Arc A730M by 1 percent, and trails the NVIDIA RTX 5880 Ada Generation by 1.8 percent. These deltas are narrow, indicating the RTX 5090 Mobile sits in a tightly contested performance band. The data shows it is neither a clear leader nor a laggard among its closest scored competitors.

The Verdict

The data supports only one clear choice: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile. It has an average benchmark score of 45152, sits at the 84th percentile, and has ten recorded test results. The AMD Ryzen Z2 A GPU has no recorded benchmark scores, an average of 0, and a 50th percentile. Any user requiring measured performance data should select the NVIDIA part, as the database contains no evidence of competitive performance from the AMD part.

The AMD Ryzen Z2 A GPU cannot be recommended on the basis of benchmark data, because no benchmark data exists for it. Its 50th percentile placement is not supported by any test result. The RTX 5090 Mobile, by contrast, is backed by a full suite of scores across DirectX 9 through DirectX 12, OpenCL, Vulkan, and compute workloads. The verdict is therefore one-sided: the RTX 5090 Mobile is the only part with verifiable performance in this comparison.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ in nearly every recorded specification. The AMD Ryzen Z2 A GPU uses a Van Gogh chip on a 7 nm process, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile uses a GB203 chip on a 5 nm process. Both are manufactured by TSMC. The AMD part has 2,400 million transistors on a 163 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 14.7 million per mm². The NVIDIA part has 45,600 million transistors on a 378 mm² die, with a density of 120.6 million per mm².

Clock speeds differ modestly. The AMD part has a base clock of 1000 MHz and a boost clock of 1600 MHz. The NVIDIA part has a base clock of 990 MHz and a boost clock of 1515 MHz. Memory clocks differ substantially: the AMD part runs at 800 MHz with 6.4 Gbps effective, while the NVIDIA part runs at 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective.

Memory configuration is a major differentiator. The AMD part has 16 GB of LPDDR5 on a 128-bit bus with 102.4 GB/s bandwidth. The NVIDIA part has 24 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus with 896.0 GB/s bandwidth.

Power and interface specifications also diverge. The AMD part has a TDP of 15 W and a single USB Type-C display output. The NVIDIA part has a TDP of 95 W, a PCIe 5.0 x16 bus interface, and display outputs listed as portable device dependent. The NVIDIA part is classified as an integrated graphics package (IGP) with no power connectors, while the AMD part lists no slot width, power connectors, or bus interface.

The release dates differ by about three months. The AMD part is dated 2024-12-31, and the NVIDIA part is dated 2025-03-26. The NVIDIA part has a predecessor, the GeForce 40 Mobile, while the AMD part lists no predecessor. Neither part lists a launch MSRP.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen Z2 A GPU uses RDNA 2.0 architecture, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile uses Blackwell 2.0. The AMD part belongs to the Console GPU (AMD) generation, and the NVIDIA part belongs to the GeForce 50 Mobile generation. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

Compute resources are vastly different. The AMD part has 512 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, 16 ROPs, and 8 ray tracing cores. The NVIDIA part has 10496 shading units, 328 TMUs, 112 ROPs, 82 ray tracing cores, and 328 tensor cores. The AMD part lists no tensor cores.

Rates and throughput reflect these differences. The AMD part has a pixel rate of 25.60 GPixel/s, a texture rate of 51.20 GTexel/s, FP32 performance of 1.638 TFLOPS, and FP16 performance of 3.277 TFLOPS (2:1). The NVIDIA part has a pixel rate of 169.7 GPixel/s, a texture rate of 496.9 GTexel/s, FP32 performance of 31.80 TFLOPS, and FP16 performance of 31.80 TFLOPS (1:1). The NVIDIA part delivers roughly 19.4 times the FP32 throughput of the AMD part, based on the recorded figures.

The transistor density figures show the process advantage of the NVIDIA part. At 120.6 million transistors per mm² versus 14.7 million per mm², the NVIDIA chip packs far more logic into its die. The AMD part uses a smaller die (163 mm²) with far fewer transistors (2,400 million), while the NVIDIA part uses a 378 mm² die with 45,600 million transistors.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile wins in every category where recorded data exists. It has all ten benchmark scores, an average score of 45152, and the 84th percentile placement. It also leads in raw specifications: more shading units (10496 versus 512), more TMUs (328 versus 32), more ROPs (112 versus 16), more ray tracing cores (82 versus 8), and the presence of 328 tensor cores. Its memory bandwidth of 896.0 GB/s is far above the AMD part's 102.4 GB/s, and its 24 GB GDDR7 frame buffer exceeds the AMD part's 16 GB LPDDR5.

The AMD Ryzen Z2 A GPU has no recorded benchmark wins. Its zero wins in the database, empty benchmark array, and average score of 0 mean it cannot be credited with any measured performance advantage. The only categories where the AMD part leads are power consumption (15 W TDP versus 95 W) and die size efficiency in the sense of a smaller physical die (163 mm² versus 378 mm²). The lower TDP suggests the AMD part is designed for a much lower power envelope, but the database contains no performance data to evaluate what that power budget delivers.

For compute-heavy workloads, the RTX 5090 Mobile is the only part with evidence. Its Passmark GPU Compute score of 13401, Geekbench OpenCL score of 201834, and Geekbench Vulkan score of 198405 all indicate substantial compute capability. For gaming workloads, the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5871 and Passmark DirectX scores (183, 269, 138, 324 across DX10 through DX9, plus 30034 in G3D) provide a baseline. The AMD part offers no comparable figures.

The RTX 5090 Mobile also wins on feature completeness. It includes tensor cores, a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface, and GDDR7 memory, while the AMD part lacks tensor cores, lists no bus interface, and uses LPDDR5. The NVIDIA part's nearest rival comparisons show it is competitive with desktop and mobile parts in its class, trailing the fastest rival by only 1.8 percent and leading the RTX 4070 Ti by 0.8 percent. The AMD part has no rival comparisons at all.
