NVIDIA RTX 3500 Embedded Ada Generation vs Lisuan Tech LX MAX Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the NVIDIA RTX 3500 Embedded Ada Generation and the Lisuan Tech LX MAX. Both entries show empty benchmark arrays, zero wins for either side, and identical percentile scores against all GPUs at 50. This absence of measured data means the comparison must rely entirely on the recorded specification fields rather than observed performance deltas.

What the recorded data does reveal is a clear split in theoretical compute capabilities. The NVIDIA part delivers 23.04 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, while the Lisuan Tech LX MAX reaches 24.58 TFLOPS. That places the LX MAX approximately 6.7% ahead in single-precision floating-point throughput based on the listed figures. The gap widens significantly in FP16 workloads: the NVIDIA card sustains 23.04 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio, whereas the LX MAX reaches 49.15 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio. The LX MAX therefore offers more than double the half-precision compute, a substantial margin for any application that can exploit mixed-precision or reduced-precision arithmetic.

Pixel throughput follows a similar pattern. The LX MAX records 192.0 GPixel/s against 144.0 GPixel/s for the NVIDIA part, a 33.3% advantage in rasterization fill rate. Texture rate shows the LX MAX at 384.0 GTexel/s versus 360.0 GTexel/s for the NVIDIA card, a narrower 6.7% lead. These figures derive from the respective ROP and TMU counts: the LX MAX carries 96 ROPs and 192 TMUs, while the NVIDIA part has 64 ROPs and 160 TMUs.

The NVIDIA RTX 3500 Embedded Ada Generation counters with its own architectural strengths. It integrates 40 RT cores and 160 tensor cores, features that the LX MAX entry does not list at all. The database shows null values for RT core and tensor core counts on the Lisuan Tech side, indicating either their absence or unrecorded status. For ray-traced workloads and tensor-based operations, the NVIDIA part has dedicated hardware that the LX MAX cannot match according to the data.

Memory configurations are identical: both use 12 GB of GDDR6 across a 192-bit bus, yielding the same 432.0 GB/s bandwidth and the same 2250 MHz memory clock with 18 Gbps effective speed. This parity means neither card gains an edge from memory capacity or transfer rates. Any performance difference must come from the compute cores, clock speeds, or architectural efficiency.

Clock speed data is incomplete for the LX MAX, with no base or boost figures recorded. The NVIDIA part lists a 1725 MHz base clock and a 2250 MHz boost clock. Without equivalent clock data for the LX MAX, the database cannot determine how much of its higher TFLOPS figure comes from clock rate versus shader count. The LX MAX does have more shading units (6144 versus 5120) and more TMUs and ROPs, so its raw hardware resources are larger overall.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear division of roles between these two cards. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX holds the theoretical advantage in raw compute throughput across every measured category: FP32, FP16, pixel rate, and texture rate. Its 24.58 TFLOPS FP32 and 49.15 TFLOPS FP16, combined with 192.0 GPixel/s and 384.0 GTexel/s, position it as the stronger choice for workloads that scale with raw shader throughput and fill rate.

The NVIDIA RTX 3500 Embedded Ada Generation counters with dedicated ray tracing hardware (40 RT cores) and tensor cores (160), neither of which the LX MAX entry records. For applications that rely on hardware-accelerated ray tracing or tensor operations, the NVIDIA part has a functional advantage that the Lisuan Tech card cannot claim from the available data. The NVIDIA part also draws 100 W against 225 W for the LX MAX, and it uses an IGP slot width with no power connectors, whereas the LX MAX is a dual-slot card requiring a 16-pin connector and a 550 W suggested PSU.

The recorded release dates place the NVIDIA part at March 2023 and the LX MAX at March 2026, so the Lisuan Tech product is newer by the database timeline. However, the NVIDIA part remains listed as Active production status, as does the LX MAX. The NVIDIA card belongs to the Ada Lovelace architecture on a 5 nm process at TSMC, while the LX MAX uses the TrueGPU architecture on a 6 nm process, also at TSMC. The NVIDIA chip (AD104) packs 35,800 million transistors into a 294 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 121.8M per mm². The LX MAX chip (7G106) has no recorded transistor count or die size.

Users who need maximum raw throughput from shader-heavy workloads would select the LX MAX based on the numbers. Users who require ray tracing, tensor acceleration, lower power draw, or a compact IGP form factor would choose the NVIDIA part. The database shows no measured benchmarks, so these conclusions rest entirely on specification analysis rather than observed performance.

Series and generation fields: the NVIDIA part is in the GeForce 30-series with generation Ada-MW, while the LX MAX has no series and generation 7G100.

Architecture Differences

The NVIDIA RTX 3500 Embedded Ada Generation is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture using the AD104 chip. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX uses the TrueGPU architecture with the 7G106 chip. Both are fabricated by TSMC, but on different nodes: 5 nm for the NVIDIA part and 6 nm for the LX MAX. The NVIDIA chip integrates 35,800 million transistors into a 294 mm² die, achieving 121.8M transistors per mm². The LX MAX chip has no recorded transistor count or die size, so density cannot be calculated.

The NVIDIA architecture includes dedicated ray tracing cores (40) and tensor cores (160), which accelerate workloads such as ray-traced rendering and neural network inference. The LX MAX entry does not list RT or tensor cores, suggesting either their absence or a lack of recorded data. The NVIDIA part also supports Vulkan 1.4, while the LX MAX supports Vulkan 1.3. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) and OpenGL 4.6.

The FP16 ratio differs: the NVIDIA part uses a 1:1 ratio, meaning FP16 throughput equals FP32 throughput. The LX MAX uses a 2:1 ratio, doubling FP16 performance relative to FP32. This architectural choice indicates the LX MAX is designed for workloads with heavy half-precision math, while the NVIDIA part maintains equal precision throughput.

The NVIDIA part has no display outputs, consistent with its IGP slot width and embedded positioning. The LX MAX includes four DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, making it suitable for direct display connection. The NVIDIA part requires no power connectors, while the LX MAX needs a single 16-pin connector. The NVIDIA part draws 100 W, the LX MAX 225 W, and the suggested PSU figures are 300 W and 550 W respectively.

Where Each One Wins

The Lisuan Tech LX MAX wins in raw compute throughput. Its FP32 figure of 24.58 TFLOPS exceeds the NVIDIA part's 23.04 TFLOPS. Its FP16 performance of 49.15 TFLOPS more than doubles the NVIDIA part's 23.04 TFLOPS. Its pixel rate of 192.0 GPixel/s is 33.3% higher than 144.0 GPixel/s. Its texture rate of 384.0 GTexel/s beats 360.0 GTexel/s. These advantages come from a larger shader array (6144 versus 5120), more TMUs (192 versus 160), and more ROPs (96 versus 64), all contributing to higher theoretical output.

The LX MAX also wins on display connectivity. It provides four DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, while the NVIDIA part records no outputs. For any use case requiring direct monitor connection, the LX MAX is the only option with that capability in the data.

The NVIDIA RTX 3500 Embedded Ada Generation wins on power efficiency. Its 100 W TDP is less than half of the LX MAX's 225 W. It needs no power connectors and only a 300 W suggested PSU, compared to the LX MAX's 16-pin connector and 550 W suggested PSU. Its IGP slot width allows installation in compact or embedded systems, whereas the LX MAX is dual-slot with physical dimensions of 248 mm by 118 mm by 48 mm.

The NVIDIA part wins on dedicated acceleration hardware. Its 40 RT cores and 160 tensor cores provide specialized processing that the LX MAX does not list. Applications using ray tracing or tensor operations would rely on these units. The NVIDIA part also has a smaller process node at 5 nm versus 6 nm, and its transistor density of 121.8M per mm² indicates a more compact design.

The NVIDIA part wins on software API support with Vulkan 1.4 versus Vulkan 1.3 on the LX MAX. Both share DirectX 12 Ultimate and OpenGL 4.6, so those are not differentiating factors.

The data does not record any benchmark scores for either card, so no measured performance wins exist. The wins above are entirely derived from specification fields. The LX MAX leads in theoretical throughput and display output capability, while the NVIDIA part leads in power draw, physical footprint, dedicated RT/tensor hardware, and a newer Vulkan API version.
