AMD Ryzen Z2 GPU vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows no direct head-to-head benchmark scores between the AMD Ryzen Z2 GPU and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti. However, the RTX 4070 Ti has a substantial set of measured results across multiple suites. Its average benchmark score sits at 44,795, placing it in the 84th percentile of all GPUs in the database. The Ryzen Z2 GPU has no benchmark entries recorded, and its average score is listed as zero with a 50th percentile ranking, which reflects a lack of tested data rather than a measured performance level.

For the RTX 4070 Ti, the strongest results come from compute-oriented workloads. In Geekbench Vulkan, it scores 213,808, while Geekbench OpenCL reaches 176,953. These figures indicate a very strong compute throughput. In PassMark's G3D test, the card delivers 31,624 points, with a GPU compute score of 18,396. The older DirectX 10 and DirectX 11 tests show 187 and 288 points, respectively, while the newer DirectX 12 test shows 116 points. The DirectX 9 result is 352 points, and the G2D score is 1,200.

The RTX 4070 Ti's nearest rivals in the database provide context. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile averages 45,152 points, which is 0.8% higher than the 4070 Ti. The AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT averages 45,384 points, 1.3% higher. The Intel Arc A730M averages 45,592 points, 1.7% higher. On the other side, the NVIDIA RTX A6000 averages 44,075 points, which is 1.6% lower than the 4070 Ti. This places the 4070 Ti in a tight competitive band, within roughly two percentage points of all four nearest rivals. The 4070 Ti effectively trades places with these cards depending on the workload, but none of them dominate it by more than 1.7%.

The Ryzen Z2 GPU, lacking any recorded benchmark scores, cannot be placed in a similar comparison. The database simply has no measured data to analyze for it. Its 50th percentile ranking is a placeholder, not a performance indication. Any direct comparison of scores between these two parts is therefore impossible from the available facts.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different manufacturers and use fundamentally different designs. The AMD Ryzen Z2 GPU uses the Hawk Point chip with RDNA 3.0 architecture, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It packs 25,390 million transistors into a 178 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 142.6 million per mm². The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti uses the AD104 chip with Ada Lovelace architecture, also from TSMC but on a 5 nm process. It contains 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die, with a density of 121.8 million per mm².

The compute resources differ enormously. The Ryzen Z2 GPU has 768 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, and 32 raster output pipelines. It includes 12 ray tracing cores and no tensor cores. The RTX 4070 Ti has 7,680 shading units, 240 TMUs, and 80 ROPs. It carries 60 ray tracing cores and 240 tensor cores. That is a 10x difference in shading units, a 5x difference in TMUs, and a 2.5x difference in ROPs.

Clock behavior also differs. The Ryzen Z2 GPU has a base clock of 800 MHz and a boost clock of 2,700 MHz. The RTX 4070 Ti starts at a 2,310 MHz base and boosts to 2,610 MHz. Memory clocks are also distinct: the Ryzen Z2 GPU runs its memory at 937 MHz with 7.5 Gbps effective speed, while the RTX 4070 Ti runs at 1,313 MHz with 21 Gbps effective.

Memory configuration is another major divergence. The AMD part uses 16 GB of LPDDR5X on a 128-bit bus, yielding 119.9 GB/s of bandwidth. The NVIDIA part uses 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus, yielding 504.2 GB/s. The RTX 4070 Ti delivers more than four times the memory bandwidth, despite having less total capacity.

Theoretical throughput numbers reinforce the gap. The Ryzen Z2 GPU achieves 8.294 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16. The RTX 4070 Ti achieves 40.09 TFLOPS for both. Pixel rate is 86.40 GPixel/s versus 208.8 GPixel/s, and texture rate is 129.6 GTexel/s versus 626.4 GTexel/s. The RTX 4070 Ti leads in every throughput metric by a wide margin.

Power and physical characteristics differ as well. The Ryzen Z2 GPU has a TDP of 28 W and uses no power connectors. The RTX 4070 Ti has a TDP of 285 W, requires a single 16-pin connector, and asks for a 600 W suggested PSU. The RTX 4070 Ti is a dual-slot card measuring 285 mm long, 112 mm high, and 42 mm wide. The Ryzen Z2 GPU has no recorded dimensions or slot width. The AMD part has a single USB Type-C display output, while the NVIDIA card offers 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a.

Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The RTX 4070 Ti uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface, while the Ryzen Z2 GPU has no recorded bus interface. The AMD part is listed as Active production status, while the NVIDIA card is End-of-life.

Where Each One Wins

From the data, the RTX 4070 Ti wins in every measurable compute category. Its FP32 throughput of 40.09 TFLOPS is nearly five times the Ryzen Z2 GPU's 8.294 TFLOPS. Its memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s is over four times higher than 119.9 GB/s. Its pixel rate of 208.8 GPixel/s is more than double the 86.40 GPixel/s of the AMD part. The texture rate of 626.4 GTexel/s is nearly five times the 129.6 GTexel/s.

The Ryzen Z2 GPU wins in power efficiency. At 28 W TDP, it uses roughly one tenth the power of the RTX 4070 Ti's 285 W. For systems constrained by thermal or power limits, this is a meaningful advantage. It also offers more memory capacity at 16 GB versus 12 GB, which matters for workloads that need capacity over bandwidth. The LPDDR5X memory type is lower power than GDDR6X, and the AMD part requires no external power connectors at all, simplifying installation in compact systems.

The RTX 4070 Ti has a clear edge in ray tracing resources. With 60 ray tracing cores versus 12, and 240 tensor cores versus none, it is positioned for hardware-accelerated ray tracing and AI workloads. The Ryzen Z2 GPU has no tensor core support recorded, so any AI acceleration features are absent from the data.

The RTX 4070 Ti also wins on connectivity. It offers HDMI 2.1 and three DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, while the Ryzen Z2 GPU has a single USB Type-C output. For multi-monitor setups, the NVIDIA card is the only one with practical display flexibility.

The Verdict

The data paints a clear picture. The RTX 4070 Ti is a high-performance desktop graphics card with measured benchmark results, a 84th percentile ranking, and an average score of 44,795. Its nearest rivals are all within 1.7% of its score, confirming it sits in a competitive performance tier. The Ryzen Z2 GPU has no benchmark scores, no average score, and no rivals listed. It is a 28 W console-class GPU with 8.294 TFLOPS of compute, 16 GB of LPDDR5X memory, and a single USB Type-C output.

For a user looking at the RTX 4070 Ti, the data supports it as a strong performer with excellent compute, memory bandwidth, and ray tracing resources. For a user looking at the Ryzen Z2 GPU, the data provides no performance measurements at all. The two parts are not in the same performance class, power class, or use case. The RTX 4070 Ti is for desktop systems with room for a dual-slot, 285 W card. The Ryzen Z2 GPU is for low-power, integrated-style applications where 28 W and no external power are the defining constraints.

The RTX 4070 Ti was released on January 2, 2023, with a launch MSRP of 799 USD. It is now End-of-life, with the GeForce 30 as its predecessor and GeForce 50 as its successor. The Ryzen Z2 GPU was released on December 31, 2024, is still Active, and has no predecessor or successor listed.
