NVIDIA N1 16SM vs Lisuan Tech LX 7G100 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no recorded benchmark scores for either the NVIDIA N1 16SM or the Lisuan Tech LX 7G100. Both entries show an average benchmark score of 0, and the head-to-head benchmark comparison list is empty. As a result, there are no direct performance measurements to compare, no percentage deltas to analyze, and no wins recorded for either product in any workload category.

Both GPUs hold a percentile rank of 50 against all GPUs in the database, which places them at the median of the recorded population. This percentile value, however, is derived from the absence of benchmark data rather than from competitive scoring. Without actual measurement data, the percentile ranking offers no meaningful differentiation between the two products.

The lack of benchmark results means that any performance assertions must be based entirely on architectural specifications and feature sets, not on empirical testing. The data simply does not support claims of superiority in compute workloads, rendering performance, or memory throughput for either part.

Architecture Differences

The NVIDIA N1 16SM uses the GB20B chip built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, produced on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It belongs to the Blackwell IGP (N1x) generation. The Lisuan Tech LX 7G100 uses the 7G106 chip under the TrueGPU architecture, produced on a 6 nm process, also at TSMC. The process node difference is modest, with the N1 16SM using a smaller 5 nm process versus the 6 nm process of the LX 7G100, though both are fabricated by the same foundry.

The N1 16SM is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) with no power connectors and no slot width beyond the IGP designation. The LX 7G100 is a discrete dual-slot card measuring 294 mm in length, 120 mm in height, and 49 mm in width, requiring a single 8-pin power connector and a 550 W suggested power supply. The N1 16SM draws its power from the host system with no separate power connection, while the LX 7G100 has a rated TDP of 225 W.

The N1 16SM features 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 24 raster output units, 16 ray tracing cores, and 64 tensor cores. The LX 7G100 features 6144 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, and 96 raster output units, with no ray tracing cores or tensor cores listed in the database. The LX 7G100 has three times the shading units, 1.5 times the texture units, and four times the raster output units compared to the N1 16SM.

The N1 16SM lacks API support entirely, with DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan all listed as N/A. The LX 7G100 supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3. This is a fundamental architectural difference: the N1 16SM is not designed for conventional graphics API workloads, while the LX 7G100 supports the full modern graphics API stack.

Where Each One Wins

The LX 7G100 holds clear specification advantages in raw compute throughput. Its FP32 performance of 24.58 TFLOPS is substantially higher than the 9.609 TFLOPS of the N1 16SM. In FP16 workloads, the LX 7G100 delivers 49.15 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio, while the N1 16SM delivers 9.609 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio. The LX 7G100 also achieves a pixel rate of 192.0 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 384.0 GTexel/s, compared to 56.30 GPixel/s and 300.3 GTexel/s for the N1 16SM. These figures indicate the LX 7G100 is significantly faster in fill-rate-bound and compute-bound scenarios.

Memory bandwidth favors the LX 7G100 as well. It uses 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The N1 16SM uses 128 GB of LPDDR5X memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 273.2 GB/s of bandwidth. While the N1 16SM has far more memory capacity, the LX 7G100 has 58% more bandwidth, which benefits memory-intensive workloads.

The N1 16SM wins on memory capacity by a wide margin, offering 128 GB versus 12 GB for the LX 7G100. It also uses a faster bus interface, PCIe 5.0 x16, compared to PCIe 4.0 x16 for the LX 7G100. The N1 16SM has ray tracing cores and tensor cores, features absent from the LX 7G100's specification sheet. For workloads that leverage ray tracing or tensor operations, the N1 16SM has dedicated hardware while the LX 7G100 has none listed.

The LX 7G100 has four DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, while the N1 16SM has a single HDMI output. For multi-display configurations, the LX 7G100 offers greater flexibility.

Specification Differences

The two products differ across nearly every specification field recorded in the database. The N1 16SM uses a 5 nm process, while the LX 7G100 uses 6 nm. The N1 16SM has a die size of 382 mm², while the LX 7G100 die size is unknown. Transistor counts are unknown for both.

Clock speeds differ substantially. The N1 16SM has a base clock of 741 MHz and a boost clock of 2346 MHz. The LX 7G100 has no base or boost clock listed. Memory clocks differ as well: the N1 16SM runs at 1067 MHz with 8.5 Gbps effective, while the LX 7G100 runs at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective.

Memory configuration differs in size, type, bus width, and bandwidth. The N1 16SM has 128 GB of LPDDR5X on a 256-bit bus with 273.2 GB/s bandwidth. The LX 7G100 has 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus with 432.0 GB/s bandwidth.

Compute unit counts differ as detailed above: the LX 7G100 has more shading units, TMUs, and ROPs, while the N1 16SM has dedicated ray tracing and tensor cores. The N1 16SM has no TDP listed, while the LX 7G100 has a TDP of 225 W. The N1 16SM has no power connectors, while the LX 7G100 uses one 8-pin connector. The suggested PSU for the LX 7G100 is 550 W, while no PSU suggestion exists for the N1 16SM.

The N1 16SM uses PCIe 5.0 x16, the LX 7G100 uses PCIe 4.0 x16. Display outputs differ: 1x HDMI for the N1 16SM, 4x DisplayPort 1.4a for the LX 7G100. API support is entirely absent on the N1 16SM, while the LX 7G100 supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3. The N1 16SM is an IGP form factor, while the LX 7G100 is dual-slot with specific dimensions. Release dates differ by roughly two weeks: the N1 16SM released on 2026-05-31, the LX 7G100 on 2026-06-17. Both are marked as Active in production status.

The Verdict

The data shows two fundamentally different products aimed at different use cases. The Lisuan Tech LX 7G100 is a discrete graphics card with conventional API support, high compute throughput, and high memory bandwidth. Its 24.58 TFLOPS FP32 performance, 192.0 GPixel/s pixel rate, and 432.0 GB/s bandwidth position it as a capable performer for graphics rendering and compute workloads that rely on standard graphics APIs. Its DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3 support make it usable in mainstream applications.

The NVIDIA N1 16SM is an integrated processor with a much larger memory pool of 128 GB, dedicated ray tracing and tensor cores, and a PCIe 5.0 interface. Its lack of DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan support indicates it is not intended for conventional graphics workloads. Its 9.609 TFLOPS FP32 performance is lower than the LX 7G100, but the presence of tensor cores suggests it may be oriented toward AI or compute tasks that leverage those dedicated units.

For users who need a discrete card with broad software compatibility and higher raw throughput, the LX 7G100 is the data-supported choice. For users who need an integrated solution with massive memory capacity and dedicated tensor and ray tracing hardware, the N1 16SM holds the advantage. Neither product has recorded benchmark scores, so these conclusions rest entirely on architectural specifications rather than measured performance. Both products sit at the 50th percentile in the database, but that figure reflects missing data rather than comparable performance. The LX 7G100 requires a 550 W power supply and a dual-slot chassis, while the N1 16SM requires no separate power connection and fits as an IGP. These form factor and power differences further reinforce that the two products occupy different segments of the market.
