Onboard graphics have come a long way since the days of CPUs having iGPUs that can only power the displays, while games are plain unplayable on it (looking at you, Intel HD Graphics). The introduction of Vega architecture from AMD’s Ryzen chips has led to renewed competition in this space, and now we may have reached the point where iGPU is now capable of replacing discrete GPUs entirely on your laptop.
AMD’s Radeon 800M Series Marks The Death Of Entry-Level dGPUs
Famed leaker Golden Pig Upgrade (金猪升级包) reported that one of the MSI’s representative at the Computex booth has claimed that the new Ryzen AI 9 300 series (which likely uses the top-tier Radeon 890M graphics) will be 20% faster than current-gen Radeon 700M graphics found in Ryzen 7040/8040 processors. They also claimed that it scores roughly 3600 points in the 3DMark Time Spy test, edging out the NVIDIA’s GTX 1650 laptop GPU, while keeping up to the RTX 2050 (a cut-down version of RTX 3050 laptop).
The Radeon 800M series marks a significant leap over the predecessors, with a new architecture (RDNA3.5) with increased core count. The top model, Radeon 890M, now packs 16 Compute Units, 4 more than the Radeon 780M. That being said, a lot of details surrounding the new Ryzen AI chips are very much under wraps, particularly the graphics – we don’t know if this score is measured at maximum performance, or what are the exact comparisons made to quote the 20% figure.
This should be good news for SFF PCs and ultra-thin laptops powered by this family of processors set to launch later this year – provided that the system comes with adequate cooling, these laptops may have a legitimate chance to outperform a 5-year old laptop with significantly bulkier chassis and twice the weight.

Pokdepinion: I still remember two of my previous laptops with Intel CPUs onboard – the graphics performance was just abysmal. Good thing Intel has caught up since then, but I’m looking forward to see what AMD can do this time around.
