Benchmarks for AMD's latest RDNA 3.5 architecture integrated graphics card, the Radeon 890M, have recently leaked, showing performance that matches or even exceeds several entry-level discrete graphics cards.
The laptop tested was an ASUS ProArt P16 with an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 APU and 32GB of LPDDR5-7467 MT/s RAM with "High Performance" mode enabled.
In Geekbench 6's Vulkan and OpenCL graphics tests, the Radeon 890M scored 46,298 and 42,932 respectively, easily outperforming several graphics cards including the RX 6400, RX 580, and Arc A380.
Compared to the RTX 3050, the Radeon 890M falls slightly short in the OpenCL test but edges out a win in the Vulkan test.
When compared to the previous generation Radeon 780M with the RDNA 3 architecture, the OpenCL test shows a 38% improvement and Vulkan performance improves by an impressive 46%.
This performance boost, combined with its energy-efficient operation, enables the Radeon 890M to display clear advantages over entry-level discrete GPUs in both power consumption and performance.
With the anticipated release of AMD's Strix Halo APUs, which are expected to offer up to 40 compute units, integrated graphics could very well become a serious contender against discrete GPUs.
