ASUS Launches AMD Ryzen AI 300 Laptops
ASUS recently introduced its AMD Ryzen AI 300 laptops, including models like the ASUS Zenbook S16, which rely solely on the APU without a discrete GPU. The Zenbook S16, equipped with the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 APU and Radeon 880M graphics, was benchmarked on July 21, 2024, providing the latest performance insights.
Benchmark Analysis
The Radeon 880M’s Geekbench score of 30,521 points suggests it performs similarly to the Radeon 780M. However, additional benchmarks are needed to determine if the 880M consistently matches or surpasses the 780M. ASUS claims the 880M is 15% faster than the 780M in 3DMark Time Spy, but third-party reviews are awaited for confirmation.
Comparative Performance
Despite its impressive performance, the Radeon 880M still lags behind entry-level GPUs like the RTX 3050 operating at 40W. For gamers seeking high to ultra settings with 60 fps or more, other ASUS Ryzen AI 300 laptops with discrete GPUs, such as the RTX 4050, RTX 4060, or RTX 4070, are recommended.
Higher-End Models
Higher-end models featuring the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 APU come with the Radeon 890M, which scores 42,932 points in Geekbench, approximately 40% higher than the Radeon 880M. The Radeon 890M also boasts 33% more cores, making it a more powerful option for users prioritizing performance.
Conclusion
The AMD Radeon 880M “RDNA 3.5” iGPU shows promising performance, comparable to the Radeon 780M. However, for those seeking top-tier gaming experiences, ASUS’s Ryzen AI 300 laptops with discrete GPUs remain the better choice.
