NVIDIA N1X 48SM vs Lisuan Tech LX MAX Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the NVIDIA N1X 48SM and the Lisuan Tech LX MAX. Both entries show an average benchmark score of 0 and an empty benchmark array, meaning no measured workloads have been logged for either part. The absence of scores does not indicate parity; it indicates a lack of tested data in the database at this time. Without benchmark runs, the analysis must rely on the architectural and specification records available.

The database does list a percentile versus all GPUs of 50 for both products. That percentile is a neutral midpoint, which reflects the absence of recorded scores rather than a measured performance tier. When benchmark data populates, the percentile will shift according to actual results. For now, the neutral position applies equally to both.

One clear distinction appears in the FP32 compute figures. The NVIDIA N1X 48SM records 28.83 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput, while the Lisuan Tech LX MAX records 24.58 TFLOPS. That difference places the NVIDIA part roughly 17% ahead in single-precision floating-point work, based on the recorded numbers. In FP16, the situation reverses. The LX MAX records 49.15 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio, which is 70% higher than the N1X 48SM's 28.83 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio. The LX MAX uses half-precision acceleration, while the N1X 48SM processes FP16 at the same rate as FP32.

Memory bandwidth also diverges sharply. The LX MAX delivers 432.0 GB/s across a 192-bit bus using GDDR6 at 18 Gbps effective. The N1X 48SM delivers 273.2 GB/s across a 256-bit bus using LPDDR5X at 8.5 Gbps effective. The LX MAX holds a 58% bandwidth advantage. The N1X 48SM counters with a much larger memory pool: 128 GB versus 12 GB. That is a 10.7x difference in capacity, which matters for workloads that exceed the smaller frame buffer.

Pixel throughput favors the LX MAX at 192.0 GPixel/s versus 112.6 GPixel/s, a 70% advantage. Texture throughput favors the N1X 48SM at 900.9 GTexel/s versus 384.0 GTexel/s, a 2.3x advantage. These numbers indicate complementary strengths: the LX MAX excels at fill-rate-bound operations, while the N1X 48SM excels at texture-heavy shading.

Architecture Differences

The NVIDIA N1X 48SM uses the GB20B chip based on Blackwell 2.0 architecture, built on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It belongs to the Blackwell IGP (N1x) generation. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX uses the 7G106 chip based on TrueGPU architecture, built on a 6 nm process at TSMC, and belongs to the 7G100 generation. Both use TSMC as the foundry, but the process nodes differ: 5 nm for the NVIDIA part and 6 nm for the Lisuan part.

The N1X 48SM integrates 6144 shading units, 384 texture mapping units, 48 render output units, 48 ray tracing cores, and 192 tensor cores. The LX MAX also integrates 6144 shading units, but it has 192 texture mapping units, 96 render output units, and no recorded ray tracing or tensor core counts. The shading unit count is identical, but the surrounding hardware differs substantially. The N1X 48SM has double the TMUs, while the LX MAX has double the ROPs.

The NVIDIA part is an IGP with no power connectors and no slot width, meaning it is designed to be integrated into a system rather than installed as a discrete card. The Lisuan part is a dual-slot card with a 225 W TDP, a 550 W suggested power supply, and one 16-pin power connector. The bus interfaces also differ: the N1X 48SM uses PCIe 5.0 x16, while the LX MAX uses PCIe 4.0 x16.

Display outputs differ as well. The N1X 48SM records a single HDMI output. The LX MAX records four DisplayPort 1.4a outputs. The LX MAX also supports a full API stack with DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3, whereas the N1X 48SM lists N/A for all three API categories.

Memory architecture diverges on multiple fronts. The N1X 48SM uses LPDDR5X with a 256-bit bus, while the LX MAX uses GDDR6 with a 192-bit bus.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA N1X 48SM wins in raw FP32 compute with 28.83 TFLOPS against 24.58 TFLOPS. It also wins decisively in texture throughput with 900.9 GTexel/s versus 384.0 GTexel/s. The N1X 48SM holds a massive memory capacity advantage with 128 GB versus 12 GB, which suits workloads that require large datasets resident on the GPU. Its PCIe 5.0 x16 interface provides double the bus bandwidth of the LX MAX's PCIe 4.0 x16, assuming the host platform supports it. The N1X 48SM also includes dedicated ray tracing cores and tensor cores, which the LX MAX does not list.

The Lisuan Tech LX MAX wins in FP16 compute with 49.15 TFLOPS, nearly double its FP32 rate, indicating effective half-precision acceleration. It also wins in pixel throughput with 192.0 GPixel/s versus 112.6 GPixel/s. Memory bandwidth favors the LX MAX at 432.0 GB/s versus 273.2 GB/s. The LX MAX provides a full API stack with DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3, while the N1X 48SM records no API support. The LX MAX also offers four DisplayPort outputs versus one HDMI, which supports multi-monitor setups. Its 225 W TDP and 550 W suggested PSU define a conventional discrete card integration path, whereas the N1X 48SM has no power connector requirements.

The Verdict

The data describes two GPUs with identical shading unit counts but opposite design philosophies. The NVIDIA N1X 48SM is an integrated processor with PCIe 5.0, 128 GB of memory, high texture throughput, and FP32 compute leadership. It targets environments where large memory capacity and texture-heavy shading matter, and where an IGP form factor is acceptable. The absence of API support data and display outputs beyond a single HDMI limits its recorded applicability in conventional graphics workloads.

The Lisuan Tech LX MAX is a discrete dual-slot card with a 225 W TDP, PCIe 4.0, 12 GB of GDDR6, high memory bandwidth, high pixel throughput, and doubled FP16 compute. It provides full DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3 support, along with four DisplayPort outputs. Its strengths point toward fill-rate-bound rendering and half-precision compute tasks, with a conventional installation profile.

The recorded data shows no benchmark scores, so the percentile values of 50 for both products carry no comparative weight. The choice between them depends on the workload characteristics encoded in the specifications. For FP32 compute, texture processing, and massive memory capacity, the N1X 48SM holds the advantage. For FP16 compute, pixel fill, memory bandwidth, and standard graphics API compatibility, the LX MAX holds the advantage. Neither product shows a measured performance win in the database, so any selection must be guided by the specification deltas above.
