AMD Radeon 880M and 890M: Review and first tests

23 July 2024

Recently, the first tests of AMD Radeon 880M and 890M graphics processors as part of Asus ProArt P16 and ASUS Zenbook S 16 laptops appeared. These laptops are equipped with the new AI 9 HX 370 and AI 9 365 processors respectively.


Let's look at the test results and characteristics of these integrated graphics chips.

Main characteristics

AMD Radeon 880M:

  • Platform: Integrated
  • Architecture: Navi III IGP (RDNA 3.0)
  • Base/Boost frequency: 400 MHz / 2900 MHz
  • Shader units: 768
  • Computing units: 16
  • TMUs: 48
  • Process technology: 4 nm
  • TDP: 15 W

AMD Radeon 890M:

  • Platform: Integrated
  • Architecture: Navi III IGP (RDNA 3.0)
  • Base/Boost frequency: 400 MHz / 2900 MHz
  • Shader units: 1024
  • Computing units: 16
  • TMUs: 64
  • Process technology: 4 nm
  • TDP: 15 W

Test results

Recent tests of ProArt P16 laptops yielded the following results:

  • Radeon 880M (with AI 9,365): 30,521 points in OpenCL
  • Radeon 890M (with AI 9 HX 370): 42,932 points in OpenCL

Additionally, FP32 (float) performance tests showed:

  • Radeon 880M: 8.82 TFlops
  • Radeon 890M: 11,761 TFlops

Analysis of results

The Radeon 890M shows a significant performance advantage over the 880M. In the OpenCL test the difference is about 40%, which is a significant improvement. This may be due to the increased number of shader units and TMUs in the 890M.

The 890M has 33% higher FP32 performance, making it more suitable for floating point-intensive workloads.

Conclusion

Early tests of the AMD Radeon 880M and 890M in ProArt P16 notebooks show that these integrated graphics solutions offer impressive performance for their class. The Radeon 890M shows a significant advantage over the 880M, making it an attractive choice for users requiring higher graphics performance.

Both GPUs offer good power efficiency thanks to the 4nm process technology and RDNA 3.0 architecture. This makes them an excellent choice for modern mobile devices that require a balance between performance and power consumption.
