AMD Radeon 890M iGPU of Ryzen Strix Point reportedly scores close to RTX 2050 on 3DMark Time Spy

AMD introduced the RDNA 3.5 iGPU with the launch of the Strix Point lineup. While we’re yet to see the proper launch of the laptops equipped with the processors, early benchmark results are promising.

As shared by Golden Pig Upgrade on Bilibili, the Radeon 890M found inside the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 scores over 3600 points on 3DMark Time Spy. The integrated graphics card was reportedly clocked around 2900 MHz during the benchmark. This score puts the integrated RDNA 3.5 graphics card with 16 compute units (CUs) just below the Nvidia RTX 2050 laptop GPU, which generally scores around 3700.

For reference, the Hawk Point Radeon 780M with 12 compute units can score 2800 at 55 watts TDP. Worth noting that Golden Pig Upgrade didn’t say anything about the TDP of the Radeon 890M. However, the benchmark score is likely from an early version of Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, and we may even see better performance when it’s inside a commercial product.

Previous benchmark reports shed light on Geekbench OpenCL performance, and the Radeon 890M was shown to be about 40% faster than the Radeon 780M. Overall, even though it’s a slightly refreshed architecture, the iGPU of the Zen 5 processor does seem to have what it takes to offer good gains in gaming. It could bring more powerful mini PCs and, most importantly, better-performing gaming handhelds (preorder ROG Ally X on Best Buy).
