  • Arc 140T vs Radeon 890M Benchmarks: Intel’s Mixed Results

    Arc 140T vs Radeon 890M Benchmarks: Intel’s Mixed Results

    Key Takeaways

    1. The Arc 140V outperforms the Radeon 890M in performance per watt.
    2. Higher-end Intel Core Ultra H-series CPUs use the integrated Arc 140T instead of the 140V.
    3. Benchmark results show the Arc 140T has slight advantages in 3DMark but struggles in actual gameplay.
    4. The Arc 140T exhibits lower power consumption, needing 45% less power than the Radeon 890M in Cyberpunk 2077.
    5. Intel’s Arc GPUs excel in performance per watt despite not always matching AMD’s raw frame rates.

    The Arc 140V stands strong against the Radeon 890M, particularly in terms of performance per watt. However, when you consider the higher-end Intel Core Ultra H-series CPUs, like the Core Ultra 9 285H, they tend to come with the integrated Arc 140T instead of the 140V. So, the question arises: is the 140T any quicker or more competitive compared to the Radeon 890M?

    Benchmark Results

    Regrettably, our initial benchmark findings from the MSI Prestige 16 AI Evo and Asus ZenBook Duo OLED, both featuring the Arc 140T, are quite varied as displayed below. The Arc 140T does show slight benefits in 3DMark benchmarks, but it frequently lags behind the AMD GPU in actual gameplay, such as in Baldur’s Gate 3 and Final Fantasy XV. The results for Cyberpunk 2077 and DOTA 2 Reborn (after driver updates) are nearly equal, while Intel suffers a significant loss in GTA V. On a positive note, the Intel GPU performs surprisingly well in the less popular game, Strange Brigade 3.

    Power Consumption Differences

    One of the most significant distinctions between these GPUs remains their power usage. A laptop with a Radeon 890M would require nearly 45 percent more power than one with an Arc 140T when playing Cyberpunk 2077, even though the performance gap is less than 10 percent. While Intel may not surpass AMD in terms of raw frame rates across all games, the chipmaker can at least boast about winning the performance-per-watt title for both the Arc 140V and 140T in this generation.

  • OneXPlayer OneXFly F1 Pro: AMD Radeon 890M Performance in Black Myth

    OneXPlayer OneXFly F1 Pro: AMD Radeon 890M Performance in Black Myth

    One-Netbook has announced its upcoming gaming handheld, the OneXFly F1 Pro. This new addition to the OneXPlayer series comes after the launch of the OneXGPU 2, which is a more powerful version of the OneXGPU (currently priced at $560 on Amazon). The OneXFly F1 Pro will feature a 144 Hz OLED screen and will be powered by AMD’s latest Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 APU. As such, the OneXFly F1 Pro is set to be the first gaming handheld to utilize the Radeon 890M iGPU.

    Gaming Performance Insights

    Recently, One-Netbook showcased the expected gaming performance of the Radeon 890M in conjunction with the OneXFly F1 Pro. At this point, the company has primarily highlighted performance metrics using Black Myth: Wukong, a game we previously benchmarked with a variety of modern GPUs.

    For comparison, the Arc Graphics 140V and Radeon 780M struggle to maintain a steady 30 FPS at 1080p with low-quality settings. This testing was conducted with Temporal Super Resolution (TSR) set to 100, meaning resolution scaling was not a factor in the results.

    Promising Results

    In contrast, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 paired with the Radeon 890M achieves an average of about 58 FPS under similar conditions. Even more impressive, the OneXFly F1 Pro reaches this framerate while maintaining a 15 W TDP. However, it’s important to note that One-Netbook used a resolution scaling of 65%, which might not provide a fully accurate comparison. Therefore, we suggest holding off on any final conclusions for now.

  • GMK Launches EVO X1 Mini PC with Ryzen AI HX 370 and RTX 2060 iGPU

    GMK Launches EVO X1 Mini PC with Ryzen AI HX 370 and RTX 2060 iGPU

    Multiple brands of mini PCs are hinting at new products that will use AMD’s latest Strix Point APUs. GMK is one of these brands, preparing to launch its EVO X1 mini PC that will take advantage of this new technology.

    Recently, GMK announced that the EVO X1 will feature the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, with a TDP of 70 W for the APU. This is significantly higher than the usual maximum of 54 W that AMD recommends for this APU model.

    Performance Expectations

    It’s important to note, though, that just because the TDP is higher, it doesn’t mean there will automatically be a big boost in performance. Still, it could allow the Radeon 890M iGPU to perform better, giving the APU the extra room it needs to excel during heavy use.

    Graphics Comparison

    GMK also mentioned that the EVO X1’s graphics performance may be similar to a discrete RTX 2060 GPU, likely due to the increased TDP. But let’s be real; GMK is probably talking about the 65 W Max-Q version, which isn’t as powerful as a standard RTX 2060 Laptop.

    In our tests, the Radeon 890M outperformed laptops with the RTX 2050 Mobile, and the RTX 2060 Max-Q is close in power too. However, GMK’s assertion that it will surpass an RTX 2060 seems a bit of a stretch.

    Future Updates

    As for when we can expect to see pricing or availability, it’s still unclear. More details should come out in the future. We do have a good idea of what the GMK EVO X1 will look like, thanks to a lot of marketing material, and it appears to be as stylish and compact as you would expect from a mini PC.

  • AMD Ryzen Z2 Gaming Handhelds Likely to Miss Radeon 890M

    AMD Ryzen Z2 Gaming Handhelds Likely to Miss Radeon 890M

    The AMD Strix Point has unveiled two new RDNA 3.5 integrated graphics processing units (iGPUs). One of these is the Radeon 890M, which comes equipped with 16 compute units (CUs). This makes the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and AI 9 HX 375 quite strong APUs for gaming. In our performance tests, the new iGPU delivered roughly 18% improved results compared to the earlier 780M.

    Upcoming Gaming Handhelds

    Although AMD has not announced any gaming handhelds using the new Strix Point APUs yet, the company has confirmed plans for the Ryzen Z2 series. In a conversation with Digital Trends, they mentioned an “early 2025” launch date. This new lineup is anticipated to introduce Zen 5 chips for handheld devices, although the Radeon 890M will likely not be part of this series.

    Details on Ryzen Z2 Series

    Renowned leaker Golden Pig Upgrade revealed on Bilibili that the Ryzen Z2 Extreme will include an RDNA 3.5 iGPU with 12 CUs, effectively the Radeon 880M. This iGPU is also found in the Ryzen AI 9 365, and during testing in a gaming handheld environment, it showed about 13% better performance than the Radeon 780M.

    Golden Pig Upgrade also indicated that the standard Ryzen Z2 will be equipped with an RDNA 3 iGPU with 12 CUs. This suggests it may use the same Radeon 780M as seen in the Ryzen Z1 Extreme. Interestingly, the tipster mentioned a third APU in the new lineup, which they refer to as the Ryzen Z2G.

    What’s the G for?

    The meaning of the “G” remains uncertain, but according to Golden Pig Upgrade, it will come with an RDNA 2 iGPU with 12 CUs. This APU might just be an update to the Rembrandt series with the Radeon 680M, which could enable manufacturers to create more budget-friendly gaming handhelds.

    Even though the AMD Z2 series might not include the powerful Radeon 890M, there is a chance that Chinese manufacturers will incorporate it into gaming handhelds powered by the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. GPD has already included this APU in its 2024 Pocket 4. While it’s more of a compact laptop than a true gaming handheld, it demonstrates the potential of this chipset to run portable devices within thermal design power (TDP) limits.
