AMD Ryzen Z2 Go GPU vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 Comparison

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen Z2 Go GPU and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 occupy entirely different segments of the database, and the recorded data makes their intended roles clear. The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU is a 28 W console-class processor with 4.147 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, designed for constrained, low-power environments. The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 is an end-of-life desktop graphics card with 44.10 TFLOPS, a 285 W TDP, and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6269.5. The data shows a 10.6x difference in raw FP32 throughput, which translates into a completely different class of performance.

The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU is the correct pick for systems where power delivery is a hard limit. It requires no power connectors, draws only 28 W, and uses a single USB Type-C display output. The NVIDIA card, by contrast, demands a 600 W suggested power supply, a triple-slot cooler, and a 16-pin connector. For a handheld or embedded console design, the AMD part is the only viable option in this comparison.

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 is the correct pick for any workload where frame rate or rendering throughput matters. Its benchmark score of 6269.5 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 places it near the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, which scores 6270 with a 0% delta. The AMD GPU has no recorded benchmark entries, so its percentile standing of 50 is based on specifications alone, while the NVIDIA card sits at the 36th percentile against all GPUs in the database. The data indicates that the NVIDIA card is the choice for desktop gaming or professional rendering, while the AMD part is for ultra-low-power integrated use.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen Z2 Go GPU wins decisively in power efficiency and physical footprint. Its 28 W TDP is a fraction of the 285 W consumed by the NVIDIA card. The AMD chip uses a 6 nm process from TSMC, packs 13,100 million transistors into a 208 mm² die, and achieves a transistor density of 63.0M per mm². The NVIDIA card uses a 5 nm process, contains 76,300 million transistors on a 609 mm² die, and reaches 125.3M per mm². The AMD part's 16 GB of LPDDR5 memory on a 128-bit bus delivers 102.4 GB/s of bandwidth, which is modest but appropriate for its low-power role. The NVIDIA card uses 16 GB of GDDR6X on a 256-bit bus for 672.3 GB/s, a 6.6x bandwidth advantage.

The NVIDIA card wins in every compute-heavy metric. It has 8448 shading units versus 768, 264 TMUs versus 48, 96 ROPs versus 32, 66 RT cores versus 12, and 264 tensor cores where the AMD part has none. Pixel rate stands at 250.6 GPixel/s for NVIDIA versus 86.40 GPixel/s for AMD. Texture rate is 689.0 GTexel/s versus 129.6 GTexel/s. The NVIDIA card also has a 1:1 FP16 ratio at 44.10 TFLOPS, while the AMD part halves its FP16 rate to 8.294 TFLOPS at 2:1. The recorded benchmark for the NVIDIA card confirms real-world DX12 performance, while the AMD GPU has no benchmark scores in the database.

Architecture Differences

The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU uses the Rembrandt+ chip and RDNA 2.0 architecture, a generation labeled "Console GPU (AMD)" in the database. It is built on TSMC's 6 nm node with 13,100 million transistors. Its 768 shading units and 12 RT cores reflect a design scaled for efficiency rather than absolute throughput. The memory subsystem uses LPDDR5 at 800 MHz with 6.4 Gbps effective speed, producing 102.4 GB/s across a 128-bit bus. The GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 uses the AD102 chip and Ada Lovelace architecture, part of the GeForce 40-series. It is built on TSMC's 5 nm node with 76,300 million transistors, a 5.8x increase over the AMD part. The NVIDIA card includes 264 tensor cores, which the AMD GPU lacks entirely. Its memory runs at 1313 MHz with 21 Gbps effective speed over a 256-bit bus, using GDDR6X. Both cards support the same API set: DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The NVIDIA card uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface, while the AMD card has no bus interface listed in the database. The NVIDIA card is triple-slot, 310 mm long, 140 mm tall, and 61 mm wide, while the AMD card's dimensions are not recorded.

The production status differs sharply: the AMD Ryzen Z2 Go GPU is active, with a release date of 2024-12-31, while the NVIDIA card is end-of-life, released 2024-06-09, with the GeForce 30 as predecessor and GeForce 50 as successor. The NVIDIA card's launch MSRP is 799 USD.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries between the AMD Ryzen Z2 Go GPU and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102, and the AMD GPU has no individual benchmark scores recorded. The comparison therefore rests on specification data and the NVIDIA card's measured results.

The NVIDIA card's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6269.5 is the only actual benchmark number in this comparison. Its average score of 6270 places it directly against the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, which matches at 6270 with a 0% delta. The NVIDIA Quadro K620 scores 6282, a -0.2% delta relative to the 4070 Ti SUPER, meaning the 4070 Ti SUPER trails by 12 points. The AMD FirePro W600 scores 6223, a 0.8% delta, so the 4070 Ti SUPER leads by 46.5 points. The AMD Radeon R7 M350 scores 6327, a -0.9% delta, so the 4070 Ti SUPER trails by 57.5 points. These deltas are all within a 1% band, indicating that the 4070 Ti SUPER's performance cluster is tightly grouped.

The AMD Ryzen Z2 Go GPU has no such data. Its percentile rank of 50 against all GPUs is a neutral midpoint, but with no benchmark scores, this percentile cannot be validated against measured workloads. The NVIDIA card's percentile rank of 36 is based on its recorded average score of 6270.

The largest specification gaps favor NVIDIA. FP32 throughput is 44.10 TFLOPS versus 4.147 TFLOPS, a 10.6x advantage. Memory bandwidth is 672.3 GB/s versus 102.4 GB/s, a 6.6x advantage. Shading units number 8448 versus 768, an 11x advantage. Texture rate is 689.0 GTexel/s versus 129.6 GTexel/s, a 5.3x advantage. Pixel rate is 250.6 GPixel/s versus 86.40 GPixel/s, a 2.9x advantage. The AMD GPU's only clear wins are power consumption, where it uses 28 W versus 285 W, and physical integration, requiring no external power and only a single USB Type-C output.
