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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the NVIDIA RTX 3500 Embedded Ada Generation and the Lisuan Tech LX ULTRA. Both products hold identical percentile rankings against all GPUs in the database, each sitting at the 50th percentile. Their average benchmark scores are also recorded as zero, meaning no standardized performance measurements have been captured for either unit in the current dataset.

This absence of direct scores does not indicate equivalence, however. The theoretical compute figures reveal meaningful separation. The Lisuan Tech LX ULTRA delivers 24.58 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput, which is 6.7% higher than the NVIDIA RTX 3500 Embedded Ada Generation's 23.04 TFLOPS. The gap widens considerably in FP16 workloads: the LX ULTRA reaches 49.15 TFLOPS due to a 2:1 ratio, while the RTX 3500 Embedded caps at 23.04 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio. That represents a 113.3% advantage for the LX ULTRA in half-precision compute.

Pixel throughput also favors the LX ULTRA. It achieves 192.0 GPixel/s against the RTX 3500 Embedded's 144.0 GPixel/s, a 33.3% lead. Texture fill rates follow the same direction: 384.0 GTexel/s versus 360.0 GTexel/s, a 6.7% advantage for the LX ULTRA.

The RTX 3500 Embedded does not take every category. Its boost clock runs at 2250 MHz, which is a documented figure, while the LX ULTRA lists no base or boost clock values at all. The NVIDIA part also includes 40 RT cores and 160 tensor cores, while the LX ULTRA lists null entries for both. The RTX 3500 Embedded's transistor density is recorded at 121.8M per mm² on a 294 mm² die containing 35,800 million transistors. The LX ULTRA's die size and transistor count are listed as unknown.

Memory specifications are identical in several respects. Both use GDDR6 memory with a 192-bit bus and 432.0 GB/s bandwidth. Both run memory at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective speed. The LX ULTRA doubles the capacity to 24 GB, while the RTX 3500 Embedded carries 12 GB. For workloads that exceed 12 GB of working set, that capacity difference becomes the dominant variable.

Where Each One Wins

The Lisuan Tech LX ULTRA wins on raw compute throughput across every measured rate. Its FP32 output of 24.58 TFLOPS exceeds the RTX 3500 Embedded's 23.04 TFLOPS. Its FP16 output of 49.15 TFLOPS is dramatically higher, making it the choice for workloads that leverage half-precision arithmetic, such as machine learning inference or certain scientific simulations that tolerate reduced precision. The LX ULTRA also wins in pixel fill with 192.0 GPixel/s versus 144.0 GPixel/s, and in texture fill with 384.0 GTexel/s versus 360.0 GTexel/s.

The LX ULTRA's 24 GB memory capacity gives it a decisive advantage for large datasets, rendering scenes that exceed 12 GB, or model weights that do not fit in the smaller frame buffer. Its dual-slot design, 268 mm length, and 4x DisplayPort 1.4a outputs make it suitable for physical installation in a workstation chassis with standard GPU mounting and direct display connectivity.

The NVIDIA RTX 3500 Embedded Ada Generation wins in power efficiency and integration flexibility. Its 100 W TDP is less than half the LX ULTRA's 225 W TDP. It requires no power connectors and only a 300 W suggested PSU, versus 550 W for the LX ULTRA. Its IGP slot width (integrated graphics processor form factor) and lack of display outputs indicate it is designed for embedded or mobile applications where the GPU is soldered or hidden from user access. The RTX 3500 Embedded also brings dedicated RT cores (40) and tensor cores (160), which the LX ULTRA does not list.

For a system builder constrained by power budget, thermal envelope, or physical space, the RTX 3500 Embedded offers substantial compute with minimal infrastructure demands. For a desktop workstation with room for a dual-slot card and a 550 W PSU, the LX ULTRA delivers higher throughput and double the memory.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs diverge on nearly every structural specification. The NVIDIA RTX 3500 Embedded Ada Generation uses the AD104 chip, while the Lisuan Tech LX ULTRA uses the 7G105 chip. The NVIDIA part belongs to the GeForce 30-series and the Ada-MW generation; the LX ULTRA belongs to the 7G100 generation under the TrueGPU architecture.

Process nodes differ: 5 nm for the RTX 3500 Embedded versus 6 nm for the LX ULTRA, both fabricated by TSMC. The NVIDIA die measures 294 mm² with 35,800 million transistors and a density of 121.8M per mm². The LX ULTRA's die size and transistor count are unknown.

Shading unit counts differ: 5120 for the RTX 3500 Embedded versus 6144 for the LX ULTRA. Texture mapping units: 160 versus 192. Raster output units: 64 versus 96. The RTX 3500 Embedded includes 40 RT cores and 160 tensor cores; the LX ULTRA lists neither.

Clock behavior is asymmetric. The RTX 3500 Embedded records a base clock of 1725 MHz and a boost of 2250 MHz. The LX ULTRA has no base or boost clock entries. Memory clocks match at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective.

Power and physical design differ sharply. The RTX 3500 Embedded is 100 W TDP, IGP slot width, no power connectors, and a 300 W suggested PSU. The LX ULTRA is 225 W TDP, dual-slot, one 16-pin connector, and a 550 W suggested PSU. The LX ULTRA measures 268 mm by 112 mm by 40 mm; the RTX 3500 Embedded has no recorded dimensions.

Bus interfaces are the same: PCIe 4.0 x16. Display outputs differ: none for the RTX 3500 Embedded, four DisplayPort 1.4a for the LX ULTRA. API support is nearly identical: DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) and OpenGL 4.6 on both. Vulkan differs slightly: 1.4 for the NVIDIA part, 1.3 for the LX ULTRA.

Release dates are recorded: March 20, 2023 for the RTX 3500 Embedded, and March 16, 2026 for the LX ULTRA. Production status is Active for both.

Architecture Differences

The NVIDIA RTX 3500 Embedded Ada Generation implements the Ada Lovelace architecture, a successor to Ampere-MW and a predecessor to Blackwell-MW in the database. It is built on a 5 nm TSMC process with a 294 mm² die housing 35,800 million transistors. The architecture includes dedicated ray tracing cores (40) and tensor cores (160), which the database records as null for the LX ULTRA. The FP16 ratio is 1:1, meaning the half-precision throughput equals the FP32 throughput.

The Lisuan Tech LX ULTRA uses the TrueGPU architecture with the 7G105 chip on a 6 nm TSMC process. Its die size and transistor count are unknown. The architecture records a 2:1 FP16 ratio, doubling half-precision throughput relative to FP32. No RT cores or tensor cores are listed. The transistor density field is null.

These architectural differences produce distinct compute profiles. Ada Lovelace on 5 nm achieves 23.04 TFLOPS FP32 from 5120 shading units at a 2250 MHz boost. The TrueGPU architecture on 6 nm achieves 24.58 TFLOPS FP32 from 6144 shading units, with no recorded clock speed, suggesting the architecture derives its throughput from a wider execution configuration rather than higher frequency. The 2:1 FP16 ratio on the LX ULTRA indicates a design that doubles half-precision units or repurposes FP32 hardware for FP16 work, a common strategy for AI-oriented accelerators.

The presence of RT and tensor cores on the NVIDIA part indicates hardware acceleration for ray tracing and tensor operations, features that the LX ULTRA does not document. The absence of these fields does not prove their absence, but the database records them as unavailable. For applications that rely on DirectX 12 Ultimate ray tracing or tensor-core-accelerated libraries, the RTX 3500 Embedded has a documented hardware path. For applications that use raw FP16 throughput, the LX ULTRA's 2:1 ratio provides a clear advantage.

The Verdict

The recorded data points to two different product philosophies. The NVIDIA RTX 3500 Embedded Ada Generation is a low-power, embedded-class GPU with 100 W TDP, no power connectors, no display outputs, and an IGP form factor. Its 12 GB memory and 23.04 TFLOPS FP32 place it as a compact compute module for systems where power and space are constrained. The inclusion of RT cores and tensor cores gives it hardware features for graphics acceleration and AI workloads, despite the modest TDP.

The Lisuan Tech LX ULTRA is a full-size, dual-slot desktop card with 4x DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, a 16-pin power connector, and a 550 W suggested PSU. Its 24 GB memory and 24.58 TFLOPS FP32, plus 49.15 TFLOPS FP16, position it as a higher-throughput device for workstations that can accommodate its 268 mm length and 225 W TDP.

The FP16 difference is the most decisive single factor. At 49.15 TFLOPS, the LX ULTRA offers more than double the half-precision compute of the RTX 3500 Embedded's 23.04 TFLOPS. Any workload that operates predominantly in FP16 will see a significant throughput advantage on the LX ULTRA. The memory capacity difference reinforces this: 24 GB versus 12 GB allows larger models, larger textures, and larger batch sizes without spilling to system memory.

The RTX 3500 Embedded counters with efficiency and specialized cores. Its 100 W TDP is 55.6% lower than the LX ULTRA's 225 W. Its 300 W suggested PSU is 250 W lower than the LX ULTRA's 550 W requirement. For embedded systems, mobile workstations, or dense multi-GPU configurations, that efficiency advantage translates into lower cooling demands and lower system power draw. The tensor cores and RT cores provide dedicated hardware that the LX ULTRA does not document, potentially accelerating specific libraries and rendering paths.

The choice depends on deployment context. A system that needs maximum FP16 throughput, large memory capacity, and direct display connectivity should use the Lisuan Tech LX ULTRA. A system that needs a compact, low-power GPU with RT and tensor acceleration, installed without power connectors, should use the NVIDIA RTX 3500 Embedded Ada Generation. The data does not support a single winner across all scenarios; it supports two winners in two distinct segments.
