Radeon 8050S: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide

The AMD Radeon 8050S is one half of the RDNA 3.5 console-class pair AMD built for 2025 gaming tablets — the sibling of the Radeon 8060S already tracked in this catalog. This guide covers its 26 benchmarked games at 1080p (13 with medium-preset data) and the single machine that carries it.

Where the Radeon 8050S sits in 2026

The composite catalog score of 5.5 ranks this record 274th of 341 — and immediately contradicts every other number on the page. The game table and synthetic benchmarks describe a capable modern GPU; the composite rank places it beside the Radeon R7 M460 (5.3) and R7 M260X (5.1), chips it outruns several times over. The game table below is the more reliable story: score the 8050S on what it actually renders, not on a composite that this record's data doesn't support.

What the chip brings

A 2025 design on the 4nm process: 2048 shader cores rated at 11.47 teraflops inside a 55W envelope, using shared system memory — a console-style arrangement that trades dedicated VRAM for a fast unified pool. Public benchmarks back the modern silicon: PassMark 16282 and Fire Strike 23521, both figures that belong in the catalog's upper third, several times higher than the chips adjacent to it in the composite ranking.

FPS in games at 1080p

The table reads like a current mid-tier card: Valorant at 220 fps, Counter-Strike 2 at 210, Fortnite 170, The Witcher 3 at 156, Forza Horizon 4 150, PUBG 140, Battlefield 5 130, Forza Horizon 5 120, Resident Evil 4 remake and Far Cry 5 at 100, Cyberpunk 2077 and Metro Exodus at 90 on high. Baldur's Gate 3 runs 186 on high and 214 on medium — coherent headroom on a demanding title. This is genuine 1080p-high gaming throughput, not filler numbers.

Laptops that carry it

One catalog machine carries it: the ASUS ROG Flow Z13 (2025) GZ302 at $1440 — the gaming tablet this silicon was designed for. The listing's profile fits the form factor perfectly: mobility index 93 and portability 82.3 are ultrabook territory, while gaming index 39 and USComp score 38 show the composite dragging below the rendering numbers. A detachable-keyboard 13-inch tablet that games like a mid-range laptop is the entire point of this chip.

Bottom line

Ignore the composite rank on this page and read the table: the 8050S delivers modern 1080p-high gaming in a tablet, with efficiency that a 55W envelope implies. For the right buyer — someone who wants one device that is a tablet first and a credible gaming machine second — the Flow Z13 pairing is exactly that. The caveat is inherent to the design: shared memory and a tablet's thermal budget mean sustained heavy sessions will behave differently than the peak numbers suggest, and the single-machine availability makes price comparison moot.
