AMD Ryzen Z2 GPU vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen Z2 GPU and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti occupy entirely different segments of the graphics hardware landscape, and the recorded data reflects that divide clearly. The Ryzen Z2 GPU is a console-class part built for low-power, portable or embedded systems, while the RTX 5070 Ti is a desktop-oriented, high-performance add-in board. Benchmark wins are one-sided: the RTX 5070 Ti holds every recorded performance advantage, while the Ryzen Z2 GPU has no benchmark entries of its own, leaving it with zero wins in the head-to-head comparison.

The Ryzen Z2 GPU sits at the 50th percentile among all GPUs in the database, which places it squarely in the mid-range of the overall distribution. Its average benchmark score is zero, indicating no recorded performance tests have been submitted for this part. The RTX 5070 Ti, by contrast, reaches the 86th percentile, a position that places it well within the upper tier of all GPUs tracked. Its average benchmark score of 49,957 confirms a substantial performance presence, one that the Ryzen Z2 GPU cannot challenge based on available data.

For use-case segmentation, the Ryzen Z2 GPU is the clear choice for scenarios where power consumption and physical footprint dominate. Its 28 W TDP, lack of power connectors, and single USB Type-C display output indicate a design intended for compact, low-power systems such as handheld consoles or thin clients. The RTX 5070 Ti, with a 300 W TDP, a 16-pin power connector, a 700 W suggested PSU, and a dual-slot, 304 mm long profile, is built for full-size desktops with robust power delivery and cooling headroom. The data shows no overlap in intended deployment: one part maximizes efficiency, the other maximizes raw throughput.

Where the RTX 5070 Ti wins decisively is in compute-heavy workloads. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 212,363 and Vulkan score of 225,122 demonstrate strong general-purpose and API-specific performance. PassMark G3D at 32,974 and GPU compute at 20,203 further reinforce its position. The Ryzen Z2 GPU has none of these measurements, so the database records no comparable figures. For any workload that demands high frame rates, large texture throughput, or ray tracing, the RTX 5070 Ti dominates by default, as the Ryzen Z2 GPU lacks recorded benchmark data entirely.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs diverge fundamentally at the architecture level. The AMD Ryzen Z2 GPU uses the Hawk Point chip built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture, fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It integrates 25,390 million transistors on a 178 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 142.6 million per square millimeter. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti uses the GB203 chip on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, also from TSMC but on a 5 nm process. Its transistor count is 45,600 million, its die size is 378 mm², and its transistor density is 120.6 million per square millimeter. The Ryzen Z2 GPU packs more transistors per area despite the smaller die, while the RTX 5070 Ti uses a larger die with a lower density but a much higher absolute transistor count.

The compute pipelines differ by an order of magnitude. The Ryzen Z2 GPU has 768 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, and 32 render output units. The RTX 5070 Ti has 8,960 shading units, 280 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. Ray tracing hardware also differs: the Ryzen Z2 GPU includes 12 RT cores, while the RTX 5070 Ti has 70. Additionally, the RTX 5070 Ti features 280 tensor cores, a resource the Ryzen Z2 GPU does not list at all. These structural differences translate directly into the throughput figures: the Ryzen Z2 GPU delivers 8.294 TFLOPS of FP32 and FP16 (1:1), while the RTX 5070 Ti delivers 43.94 TFLOPS for both precision formats, a 5.3x gap in raw floating-point capability.

Memory subsystems are equally divergent. The Ryzen Z2 GPU uses 16 GB of LPDDR5X on a 128-bit bus, with memory clocks at 937 MHz (7.5 Gbps effective) and a bandwidth of 119.9 GB/s. The RTX 5070 Ti uses 16 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus, with memory clocks at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective) and a bandwidth of 896.0 GB/s. The RTX 5070 Ti therefore has 7.5x the memory bandwidth of the Ryzen Z2 GPU. The pixel rate for the Ryzen Z2 GPU is 86.40 GPixel/s, and its texture rate is 129.6 GTexel/s. The RTX 5070 Ti achieves 235.4 GPixel/s and 686.6 GTexel/s, respectively, representing a 2.7x advantage in pixel throughput and a 5.3x advantage in texture throughput.

Power and physical design reinforce the architectural split. The Ryzen Z2 GPU has a 28 W TDP, no power connectors, and no listed slot width, while the RTX 5070 Ti has a 300 W TDP, a single 16-pin connector, a dual-slot profile, and dimensions of 304 mm by 137 mm by 48 mm. The RTX 5070 Ti uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface, whereas the Ryzen Z2 GPU lists no bus interface. Display outputs also differ: the Ryzen Z2 GPU has one USB Type-C output, while the RTX 5070 Ti has one HDMI 2.1b and three DisplayPort 2.1b outputs. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API feature parity exists despite the hardware gap.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark list between the Ryzen Z2 GPU and the RTX 5070 Ti is empty, and the win counts reflect that: zero wins for the AMD part and zero for the NVIDIA part. This means no direct comparison tests have been recorded in the database. However, the RTX 5070 Ti has its own standalone benchmark results, which provide context for its performance tier. The Ryzen Z2 GPU has no benchmark scores at all, so its average score is zero, and its percentile rank of 50 is based on its position among all GPUs, not on measured performance.

Looking at the RTX 5070 Ti's recorded benchmarks, the data shows a consistent pattern of high scores. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it scores 6,604. In Geekbench OpenCL, it reaches 212,363, and in Geekbench Vulkan, 225,122. PassMark results vary by API: DirectX 10 scores 192, DirectX 11 scores 300, DirectX 12 scores 127, and DirectX 9 scores 351. The PassMark G2D score is 1,332, while G3D reaches 32,974 and GPU compute reaches 20,203. These numbers indicate a GPU that performs strongly across both graphics and compute workloads, with OpenCL and Vulkan scores particularly high.

The nearest rivals in the database further contextualize the RTX 5070 Ti. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 has an average score of 50,001, which is 0.1% below the RTX 5070 Ti's average of 49,957. The Intel Arc A550M scores 49,737, 0.4% above the RTX 5070 Ti. The AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT scores 50,951, 2% below, and the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT scores 48,477, 3.1% above. These deltas place the RTX 5070 Ti in a tight competitive band with older high-end parts, with performance differences of only a few percentage points. The Ryzen Z2 GPU has no nearest rivals listed, reinforcing its position as a part without comparable performance data.
