AMD has just set the new bar for laptop gaming with the recent Radeon 890M "RDNA 3.5" iGPU, shown to outperform in a few gaming tests even NVIDIA's desktop-grade GeForce GTX 1650 graphics card.

This would be a big milestone, although it shows how integrated GPUs (iGPUs) are able to offer fast and smooth gaming performance, all without the need for chubby or power-greedy add-on graphics cards.

The benchmarks shared by TechEpiphany show the Radeon 890M iGPU, in several game titles, such as Devil May Cry 5, God of War, and Cyberpunk 2077, outperforming the GeForce GTX 1650.

In some cases, the Radeon 890M "RDNA 3.5" iGPU ended up 45% faster than the desktop graphics card. That is a big deal, considering that even with a dedicated graphics card, the GTX 1650 was only an integrated GPU built into the processor of the laptop—the Radeon 890M.

Now, it gives users the pride of fast and smooth gaming performance without the need for a bulky and power-hungry dedicated graphics card. The 890M iGPU is perfect for thin and light laptops—ideal for gamers who want to play on the go.
