Graphics Performance

The Radeon 8050S scores 16,259 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the High-End tier as a Current Gen generation graphics card. It is built on the RDNA 3.5 architecture (codename: Strix Halo), manufactured on a 4 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 2048 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 128 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 64 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 11.47 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 2800 MHz from a base of 1295 MHz.
