It can often be said that integrated graphics are not specifically designed for gaming, and most models don’t really offer the ability to play most of the games that can be found today with decent performance, because they are not prepared for it. But there are times when a generation can surprise us, and in this case, iGPU Radeon 890M showed us what he can offer game, And its performance is surprising.
One of the biggest problems we face when we get a computer as portable as possible is the limited capacity it has to perform high-performance tasks, and this is not only at the graphics level, but in general we can see that they are lower power than other models. But this time, AMD has looked for a way to balance the scales a little, and the new processors Ryzen IA 300 that they published are not only good for artificial intelligence, but also for other aspects such as game.
AMD does it again, its new integrated graphics card offers low consumption and great performance
One of the great novelties that we have found in the latest versions is the performance offered by AMD processors intended for artificial intelligence tasks, and that far from only offering great power for this technology, they also dominate some of the landmarks performance. Now it also comes with a test that compares the Ryzen 9 AI HX 370 vs Intel Core 7 Ultra 155H in game, providing a glimpse of the improvement that iGPU offers when using high-performance applications.
From the beginning we see that this is obviously going to represent a fairly significant improvement, since we are comparing a high-end model to another that belongs to a medium-high range, but to avoid the difference being too great, TechEpiphany has reduced the TDP of the AMD processor to 17 W, while Intel’s works at 28 W.
Starting with the first title that is presented to us, we have Tomb Raider, a game released in 2013 and that offered an impressive graphic quality for the time, with the settings at maximum, the Radeon 890m is able to keep the game between approximately 50 -70 FPS, while the Intel processor is between 30 and 50 FPS.
If we move on to a game that stands out for having some of the most realistic graphics we’ve seen, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, we see that with high settings the AMD processor oscillates between 40 and 60 FPS, quite stable, while Intel’s is between 25 -35 FPS.
On the other hand, in more current titles it is not short either, in Cyberpunk 2077 it offers between 40 and 55 FPS relatively stable, while in the version optimized for PS4 God of War manages to maintain a stable 40 FPS, while the Intel processor struggles to exceed 30 FPS in the case of Cyberpunk 2077 (15-30), but in the GoW version it is quite consistent, offering very similar performance to the AMD iGPU.
The overall performance offered by the Radeon 890m is much higher than its main competitor, but it also easily surpasses its previous generations, and compared to the Ryzen 7 7840HS, which has a 54W configuration, it also surpasses it by far. In general, it is not that it offers a higher FPS rate than what this specific model offers us, but it is true that it is quite striking that with such a low TDP configuration it is capable of having the same performance as one of the models. most used for portable consoles such as the Ryzen 7 7840HS.
Ultimately, this demonstrates AMD’s power over Intel in terms of graphics performance, which makes us think that the next models we see of processors used in portable consoles could offer the best possible experiences.
