AMD's latest mobile processors are almost ready and we are starting to see what they will bring in terms of performance when they arrive. The new Radeon890M GPU looks a more serious step-up than the 780M, which is seemingly great news for gamers as well.

The 890M is a new iGPU that will launch within the new AMD Ryzen AI300 series. It includes 16 RDNA3.5Cu and operates at 2,900MHz. The last generation, the 7000M, installed on both the 8000 and 780 series ryzen mobile processors, includes just 2,800 RDNA3CU at 12MHz. From speed and feed alone, 890M should be a decent step-up in performance, but we can now confirm with more confidence that that is the case.

The new benchmark for GPD (discovered by Hxl on X), which covers the latest GPD Duo devices, is a compact 9—in-370 laptop with AMD Ryzen AI 2-in-1, which can see a rough improvement in 890M vs. 780M.

At 54W, the GPD Duo reaches a score of 4,221 points in 3dmark Time Spy. GPD's own benchmark suggests that the GPD Win Max780 with 2M will reach a score of 3,218. This means that 890M is 780% faster than 31M.

The 890M performs better than the discrete RTX 3,769 running at 45W, which scored 2050 points in the same test, and only the hair below the rtx 50 at 3050W is better.It's not clear what devices these discrete GPUs were running on. However, it is impressive that iGPUs with power budgets and memory shared with cpu components compete with dedicated graphics chips. We also ran a quick test of ROG Ally on the 7 7840W, which comes with a semi-custom version of the RYZEN 780U and 30M, scoring 3,180 points. It is an increase of 890M 33%. The AMD Ryzen AI300 series includes both Zen5 and Zen5c cores.

The GPD shows that these cores are working well with Cinebench2024 (R24) — the only source for the benchmark is the ryzen9 7950X with nearly 124 single-threaded scores and the Ryzen9 5950X with 1,525 multi-threaded scores.

That means there's still something to be aware of when laptops with these chips actually land next month. In addition, whether the next-generation gaming handheld will choose AMD's new 890M to improve real performance with nearly the same battery life is indeed possible, if you look at the benchmarks above, but there's also a 12-core 880M, which might also be possible.
