AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 at 17W outperforms 28W+ Intel Core Ultra 7 155H in gaming test, see full report here.
Radeon 890M integrated graphics of AMD on Strix APUs have been farewell in games against Intel Arc iGPU on Meteor Lake chips. Some decent performance for integrated graphics has been demonstrated by the Radeon 800M iGPUs in AMD. We last summarized it to how it was significantly faster than Intel Arc and the previous-gen RDNA 3-based iGPUs, and new gaming benchmarks have been shared by the TechEpiphany, pitting the 17W Strix APUs against a 28W+ Meteor Lake CPU.
With the new Strix Point lineup, AMD came with the RDNA 3.5 selected modern integrated options that are at present enlisted as the most efficient ones, iGPUs. In our analysis section when digging deeper into the Radeon 890M that is installed in the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, we realized that it’s a noticeable leap from the Radeon 780M previous generation.
For tests, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 flagship was used which has all 16 compute units RDNA 3. This chip was tested on ASUS Vivobook S 16 OLED the laptop is equipped with 32 GB LPDDR5X-7500 RAM and the chip utilized TDP is only 17w as the default TDP stands up to 60w. In comparison, an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H was used and it includes the same 8 Xe-cores as the passed 185H however are down-clocked to 2.25 GHz clock. The chip came with a 32 GB LPDDR5X-6400 memory and a 2 TB 7,360 RPM SATA Seagate FireCuda 520 solid-state drive.
We also discovered that there is betterment in terms of efficiency and as usual TechEpiphany decided to take it a little further and decided to present the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 at 17W against the 28W+ Intel Core Ultra 7 155H. In that case, the Radeon 890M achieves 40% to 60% higher FPS in Tomb Raider 2013 in comparison to the Arc iGPU. In Hellblade and with the GameLeap benchmark, the lead hovered between 20 and 25 percent, while in Cyberpunk 2077, it was above the 40-50 percent mark.
Performance comparison of TechEpiphany and Hellblade
During all the tests, the iGPU of Radeon 890M operated at 1.0 GHz to 1.5 GHz, while the Intel Meteor Lake iGPU ranged from 1.6 GHz and reached its maximum usage at 2. 25 GHz. This proves that, for the present time, the AMD Company is far ahead of Intel concerning the iGPU performance. Of course, that may be different with the new Xe2 architecture arriving shortly or perhaps that is already here. As for the personal computers division, Intel has pledged up to 1. It indicated a 5x performance uplift and, if true, it might take the new Arc iGPUs up to the Radeon 890M.
