AMD Ryzen AI Outperforms Intel Core Ultra in Gaming, Even at Lower Wattage
A recent benchmark comparison highlights the impressive performance and efficiency of AMD's latest integrated graphics. Here's the breakdown:
Key Takeaways:
- AMD Dominates: The Radeon 890M iGPU found in the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 significantly outperformed the Intel Arc iGPU in the Core Ultra 7 155H across several games, including Tomb Raider 2013, Resident Evil 6, Hellblade, and Cyberpunk 2077.
- Efficiency is Key: Impressively, the AMD system achieved this with a lower power draw (17W) compared to the Intel system (28W+).
- RDNA 3.5 Shines: The Radeon 890M, leveraging AMD's RDNA 3.5 architecture, showcases a considerable performance jump over previous generations.
- Future Competition: While AMD currently holds a strong lead, Intel's upcoming Xe2 architecture promises significant performance gains, potentially closing the gap in the future.
Looking Ahead:
These results bode well for budget-friendly laptops utilizing AMD's Strix Point processors. The Radeon 890M delivers solid gaming performance without needing a dedicated GPU. However, Intel's Xe2 architecture promises to be a formidable contender, so the landscape of integrated graphics could shift in the coming months.
