AMD Ryzen Z2 Go GPU vs Lisuan Tech LX MAX Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data places these two GPUs at opposite ends of the performance and power spectrum. The AMD Ryzen Z2 Go GPU is a 28 W part with 768 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, and 32 render output units. Its compute throughput is 4.147 TFLOPS FP32 and 8.294 TFLOPS FP16. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX, by contrast, is a 225 W dual-slot card with 6144 shading units, 192 TMUs, and 96 ROPs, delivering 24.58 TFLOPS FP32 and 49.15 TFLOPS FP16. The raw arithmetic gap is roughly 5.9x in FP32 and 5.9x in FP16, a difference that defines their respective roles.

The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU uses 16 GB of LPDDR5 memory on a 128-bit bus, yielding 102.4 GB/s of bandwidth. The LX MAX uses 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, yielding 432.0 GB/s. The LX MAX holds a 4.2x bandwidth advantage, which directly benefits texture-heavy workloads and high-resolution framebuffer operations. The Ryzen Z2 Go's pixel rate is 86.40 GPixel/s; the LX MAX's is 192.0 GPixel/s, a 2.2x lead. Texture rate favors the LX MAX even more decisively: 384.0 GTexel/s versus 129.6 GTexel/s, a 2.96x margin.

Where each one wins is clear from the data. The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU wins in power efficiency per watt of compute: it delivers 4.147 TFLOPS at 28 W, or approximately 0.148 TFLOPS per watt. The LX MAX delivers 24.58 TFLOPS at 225 W, or approximately 0.109 TFLOPS per watt. The Ryzen part also wins on memory capacity, offering 16 GB versus 12 GB, and on portability, with a single USB Type-C output and no power connectors, versus the LX MAX's 1x 16-pin connector and 550 W suggested PSU.

The LX MAX wins on absolute performance in every compute metric recorded. Its FP32 output is 5.93x higher, its texture rate is 2.96x higher, and its pixel rate is 2.22x higher. The LX MAX also supports PCIe 4.0 x16, while the Ryzen part has no recorded bus interface. The LX MAX provides four DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, versus a single USB Type-C on the Ryzen part. These differences indicate the Ryzen Z2 Go GPU targets low-power embedded or handheld scenarios, while the LX MAX targets desktop rendering and compute workloads requiring sustained throughput.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs share TSMC's 6 nm process node, but their architectural lineage diverges sharply. The AMD Ryzen Z2 Go GPU uses the Rembrandt+ chip with RDNA 2.0 architecture, classified as a Console GPU generation. It integrates 13,100 million transistors on a 208 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 63.0M per mm². The LX MAX uses the 7G106 chip with a TrueGPU architecture from the 7G100 generation. Its transistor count and die size are not recorded, so density cannot be compared.

RDNA 2.0 is a known graphics architecture with 12 ray tracing cores on this part. The LX MAX has no recorded ray tracing core count. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) and OpenGL 4.6. The Ryzen part supports Vulkan 1.4; the LX MAX supports Vulkan 1.3. The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU's memory clock is 800 MHz with 6.4 Gbps effective, while the LX MAX's memory clock is 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective.

The memory subsystems differ fundamentally. The Ryzen part uses LPDDR5, a low-power memory designed for system-on-chip integration, with a 128-bit bus. The LX MAX uses GDDR6, a dedicated graphics memory, with a 192-bit bus. The LX MAX's 432.0 GB/s bandwidth is 4.22x the Ryzen part's 102.4 GB/s. The Ryzen part has no TDP-derived cooling requirement beyond its 28 W envelope; the LX MAX requires a dual-slot cooler, a 16-pin power connector, and a 550 W suggested PSU.

The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU's power connector field is "None", indicating it draws power through its host interface. The LX MAX uses a discrete power connector. The Ryzen part's display output is a single USB Type-C, which can carry video, data, and power. The LX MAX offers four DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, supporting multi-monitor configurations. The LX MAX's dimensions are recorded as 248 mm length, 118 mm height, and 48 mm width; the Ryzen part has no recorded dimensions, consistent with an integrated or modular design.

The process node is identical at 6 nm TSMC for both. The architectural differences are thus not about fabrication but about design intent: RDNA 2.0 with ray tracing and low power versus TrueGPU with massive shading unit counts and no recorded ray tracing hardware. The LX MAX's 6144 shading units are 8x the Ryzen part's 768. Its 192 TMUs are 4x, and its 96 ROPs are 3x. These ratios exceed the FP32 ratio because clock speeds also differ: the Ryzen part boosts to 2700 MHz, while the LX MAX has no recorded base or boost clock, though its memory clock is substantially higher.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

No direct head-to-head benchmark scores are recorded for either GPU. The database lists zero benchmark entries, zero wins for each, and no nearest rivals. The comparison must therefore rest on the specification-derived performance metrics. The FP32 compute is the most direct measure of raw shader throughput. The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU produces 4.147 TFLOPS; the LX MAX produces 24.58 TFLOPS. The LX MAX is 5.93x faster in FP32. In FP16, the Ryzen part produces 8.294 TFLOPS, the LX MAX 49.15 TFLOPS, a 5.93x ratio again, since both use a 2:1 FP16 rate.

Pixel fill rate shows a smaller gap. The Ryzen part's 86.40 GPixel/s comes from 32 ROPs at a boost clock of 2700 MHz. The LX MAX's 192.0 GPixel/s comes from 96 ROPs, but with no recorded clock, the rate implies a lower clock per ROP. The LX MAX's pixel rate is 2.22x higher. Texture fill rate shows a 2.96x gap: 129.6 GTexel/s versus 384.0 GTexel/s. The LX MAX's 192 TMUs drive this advantage; the Ryzen part's 48 TMUs are the limiting factor.

Memory bandwidth is the largest proportional difference. The LX MAX's 432.0 GB/s is 4.22x the Ryzen part's 102.4 GB/s. This matters for workloads that stream large textures, geometry buffers, or compute data. The Ryzen part's 16 GB capacity exceeds the LX MAX's 12 GB, so the LX MAX wins on speed but loses on capacity. In scenarios with datasets exceeding 12 GB, the Ryzen part's larger memory pool could avoid spillover, though its lower bandwidth would still constrain throughput.

Ray tracing performance cannot be compared directly. The Ryzen Z2 Go GPU records 12 RT cores; the LX MAX records none. For DirectX 12 Ultimate workloads that leverage ray tracing, the Ryzen part has dedicated hardware, while the LX MAX either lacks it or does not report it. The Ryzen part also supports Vulkan 1.4 versus the LX MAX's Vulkan 1.3, a minor API version advantage. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) and OpenGL 4.6, so compatibility at the API level is equivalent for non-ray-traced paths.

The TDP difference is stark. The Ryzen part's 28 W is 8.0x lower than the LX MAX's 225 W. The LX MAX's suggested PSU of 550 W indicates a full desktop power delivery requirement. The Ryzen part has no PSU requirement recorded, consistent with mobile or embedded operation. The LX MAX's dual-slot cooler and 248 mm length indicate a substantial heatsink and fan assembly; the Ryzen part has no recorded slot width or dimensions.
