AMD has been making significant strides in the integrated graphics space, and recent benchmarks highlight their progress. The Radeon 890M, a new integrated graphics card designed for Strix Point notebook processors, has shown impressive performance, even surpassing the GeForce GTX 1650 desktop GPU in several games.
The Radeon 890M leverages the latest RDNA 3.5 architecture, delivering performance levels previously seen only in desktop GPUs. According to the AMD APU Gaming channel on YouTube, in “Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice,” the Radeon 890M outperformed the GTX 1650 by 10 FPS at maximum settings in Full HD.
In “Cyberpunk 2077,” it achieved a 45% performance improvement over its competitor at 1080p with minimum specifications. The most significant performance difference was noted in “Robocop,” where the Radeon 890M had a 30 FPS advantage with low settings and 85% image scaling.
The Radeon 890M also demonstrated strong performance in games like “Forza Horizon 5,” “The First Descendant,” and “Shadow of the Tomb Raider.” However, it faced challenges in “Devil May Cry 5” and “God of War,” where its performance was 5 to 10 FPS lower at times compared to its competitors.
Overall, AMD’s advancements in integrated graphics are noteworthy, especially considering the Radeon 890M’s ability to outperform dedicated desktop GPUs, which typically consume more power. This development offers a compelling option for gamers building a long-term gaming setup, allowing them to invest in a robust processor capable of handling their favorite games without the immediate need for a dedicated GPU.
