Capacity and bandwidth
Memory
16 GB
Bandwidth

Largest model
Nemotron 3-Nano-30B-A3B
16 GB of LPDDR5 puts the Ryzen Z2 A GPU comfortably into small and mid-sized models, with roughly 14.4 GB usable once the driver overhead is taken out. The largest models are out of reach without splitting them.
At 102 GB/s across a 128-bit bus, bandwidth is this card's real constraint. Every token requires reading the entire model out of memory, so a large model will feel slow here even when it fits.
The figure is the memory clock — 800 MHz here — multiplied by the bus width. It is why core counts predict generation speed so poorly.
The biggest thing it holds is Nemotron 3-Nano-30B-A3B (31.6B) at Q3_K_M compression, for about 16.1 tokens per second.
The chip and how it was built
The Ryzen Z2 A GPU is built on the Van Gogh graphics processor, using AMD's RDNA 2.0 architecture, as part of the Console GPU(AMD) generation.
The chip is manufactured by TSMC, on a 7 nm process, with a die measuring 163 mm², holding 2.4 billion transistors. A smaller process generally means more performance for the same power, though for language models it matters far less than the memory subsystem.
It was released in January 2025, roughly 1 years ago. Inference software support tends to follow hardware by a year or two, so a card of this age generally has mature, well-optimised code paths available to it.
Compute throughput, and why it matters less than it looks
FP16
3.3 TFLOPS
FP64
102.4 GFLOPS
On paper the Ryzen Z2 A GPU reaches 3.3 TFLOPS at half precision and 1.6 TFLOPS at single precision. These are peak figures no real workload sustains, and generating text reaches only a small fraction of them — decoding is limited by memory rather than arithmetic, which is why a card can look enormously powerful here and still produce tokens at an ordinary rate.
Double-precision throughput is 102.4 GFLOPS. It has no bearing on running a language model — no inference runtime uses it — but it separates datacentre parts from consumer ones, since the latter deliberately restrict it.
Clocks run from 1 GHz at base to 1.6 GHz boosted. Worth far less here than on a gaming benchmark: raising the clock speeds up the arithmetic, and the arithmetic is not what generation is waiting on.
Cache and processing units
The Ryzen Z2 A GPU has 128 KB of L1 cache, backed by 1 MB of L2. Cache absorbs a share of the memory traffic that would otherwise hit the main bus, which is the one place on this page where a number other than bandwidth quietly affects generation speed — a large L2 lets more of the working set stay close to the cores.
There are 512 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, and 16 render output units. These drive graphics workloads and contribute to prompt processing, but they sit idle for much of the time a model spends generating a reply.
Power, size and installation
Power draw
15 W
The Ryzen Z2 A GPU is rated at 15 W. Running a language model keeps a card busy in bursts rather than continuously — it draws hard while generating and idles between requests — so sustained draw over a working day is usually well below the rated figure.

Step by step
How to work out the tokens per second of a Ryzen Z2 A GPU
You do not have to calculate anything by hand — the gputps.com calculator on this page has already worked it out for every model this card can hold. Reading off the answer takes six steps.
-
01
Find the model in the table
Every one of the 432 models this Ryzen Z2 A GPU runs is in the table above. Search narrows it by name or by size.
-
02
Decide how long your conversations run
Longer conversations cost memory on top of the weights. With 16 GB to work in, that is frequently the difference between a model fitting and not.
-
03
Set a minimum quality if you need one
Compression is what lets bigger models fit. The quality control drops any model that needs more of it than you are willing to give.
-
04
Take the range as the answer
Speeds come with error bars for a reason. The best case here is 33.8 tok/s on Gemma 3 QAT 1B, and which inference software you use moves that by thirty to fifty per cent.
-
05
Read the fit verdict last
A tight fit runs but leaves no room to raise the context later; comfortable has headroom. The memory column shows what each model needs against the 16 GB available.
-
06
Open the model to compare cards
Every model name in the table links to its own page, which runs the same calculation across every card we hold. That is where you see whether the Ryzen Z2 A GPU is the right buy for it or merely a card that fits.
Answers
Ryzen Z2 A GPU — common questions
How many tokens per second does a Ryzen Z2 A GPU produce?
It depends on the model. On a Ryzen Z2 A GPU the fastest model we track is Gemma 3 QAT 1B at about 33.8 tokens per second, while larger models run proportionally slower because each token requires reading the whole model out of memory once. Speeds are estimates for a single conversation at a time.
Can a Ryzen Z2 A GPU run a 7B model?
Yes. For example a Ryzen Z2 A GPU runs Multi-Token Prediction 7B at Q8_0, using about 7.9 GB of memory and generating around 5.1 tokens per second.
Can a Ryzen Z2 A GPU run a 13B model?
Yes. For example a Ryzen Z2 A GPU runs DeepSeekMoE-16B at Q6_K, using about 13.7 GB of memory and generating around 17.1 tokens per second.
Can a Ryzen Z2 A GPU run a 30B model?
Yes. For example a Ryzen Z2 A GPU runs ERNIE-4.5-VL-28B-A3B at Q3_K_M, using about 12.9 GB of memory and generating around 18.1 tokens per second.
How much memory does a Ryzen Z2 A GPU have?
A Ryzen Z2 A GPU has 16 GB of LPDDR5 memory. Around a tenth of that is reserved by the inference runtime and the driver, leaving roughly 14.4 GB available for a model and its conversation.
What is the memory bandwidth of a Ryzen Z2 A GPU?
The Ryzen Z2 A GPU has 102 GB/s of memory bandwidth, across a 128-bit memory bus. This is the single best predictor of how fast it generates text, because producing each token means reading the entire model out of memory once.
What type of memory does a Ryzen Z2 A GPU use?
It uses LPDDR5 clocked at 800 MHz. HBM types are found on datacentre accelerators and carry far more bandwidth than the GDDR used on desktop cards, which is why they generate tokens considerably faster at the same capacity.
Who makes the Ryzen Z2 A GPU?
The Ryzen Z2 A GPU is a AMD product, with the chip manufactured by TSMC, on a 7 nm process.
When was the Ryzen Z2 A GPU released?
The Ryzen Z2 A GPU was released in January 2025.
How much power does a Ryzen Z2 A GPU use?
The Ryzen Z2 A GPU has a rated board power of 15 W. Generating text draws hard in bursts and idles between requests, so average consumption over a working session is normally well below the rated figure.
How much cache does a Ryzen Z2 A GPU have?
The Ryzen Z2 A GPU has 128 KB of L1 cache, and 1 MB of L2 cache. Cache absorbs part of the memory traffic that would otherwise reach the main bus, so a larger L2 gives a modest lift to generation speed beyond what bandwidth alone predicts.
What are the TFLOPS of a Ryzen Z2 A GPU?
The Ryzen Z2 A GPU is rated at 3.3 TFLOPS at half precision and 1.6 TFLOPS at single precision. These are peak arithmetic ceilings rather than achievable rates, and text generation reaches only a small fraction of them because it is limited by memory bandwidth instead.
Does the Ryzen Z2 A GPU support CUDA?
No. CUDA is NVIDIA-only, and the Ryzen Z2 A GPU is a AMD card. It runs language models through ROCm, Vulkan or Metal depending on the software, which are less mature than the CUDA path — our estimates apply a penalty for that.
Is the Ryzen Z2 A GPU good for running local AI models?
Its memory covers small and mid-sized models, though the largest are out of reach though its bandwidth means generation will feel slow on larger models. In total it runs 432 of the models we track. Whether that is enough depends entirely on which model you want — the table above answers that directly.
Can a Ryzen Z2 A GPU run a model that does not fit in its memory?
Offloading past the card's 16 GB is possible and usually a false economy: the system-memory portion is slow enough to dominate the result.
Would two Ryzen Z2 A GPU cards be twice as fast?
Pairing Ryzen Z2 A GPU cards buys headroom rather than pace: 32 GB of combined memory, at roughly the same generation speed as one.
What AI models can a Ryzen Z2 A GPU run?
432 of the 679 open-weight language models we track fit on a Ryzen Z2 A GPU and can be run locally on it. The table on this page lists every one, with the memory it needs, the quantisation it runs at and an estimated generation speed.
What is the largest AI model a Ryzen Z2 A GPU can run?
The largest model in our catalogue that fits on a Ryzen Z2 A GPU is Nemotron 3-Nano-30B-A3B at 31.6B parameters, compressed to Q3_K_M. It generates roughly 16.1 tokens per second and needs about 14.4 GB of the card's memory.
