The AMD Radeon 890M flagship iGPU has been put through the paces on Geekbench. The Geekbench stats indicate that the Radeon 890M is at par, performance-wise with the entry-level Ampere dGPU. This is coming on the heels of the recent seemingly impressive picture painted by AMD relating to the new Strix Point benchmarks released recently. The leaked Geekbench benchmarks have confirmed the Zen 5 + RDNA 3.5 Strix Point combination packs some power. The Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 Radeon 890M performance has been highlighted.
The Radeon 890M scored 46,298 in Geekbench 6.3’s Vulkan benchmark and this is in the same range as that of the GeForce RTX 3050 (4GB VRAM) laptop. In OpenCL, it has a score of 42,923 but this was not at par with the corresponding RTX 3050 score. The Radeon 890M’s performance benchmarks on Geekbench indicate a dGPU class and it is expected to improve with subsequent updates and revisions. The Geekbench data also indicate that the Radeon 890M is running 1,868 MT/s memory, which is quite slow for a DDR5 memory architecture.
The Radeon 890M wattage was not specified in the Geekbench results but it is significantly faster than the previous Radeon 780M which has a lower test score (28,878 on average). AMD also stated that RDNA 3.5 (15W) is about 32% faster than RDNA 3. It remains to be seen how the AMD Radeon 890M will compare with its predecessor in real-world operations, although the differences may be less obvious.
