Stronger in an absolute sense. It has a yield strength of 70-75 ksi whereas the common stainless steels are in the 40 ksi range. The prehards are extremely strong (70-200 ksi). It all depends on the heat treat though, which could be highly variable for stainless, but 7075 is going to be T6, period. 7068 would be significantly stronger than 7075 at 90-95 ksi.
