Radeon 890M iGPU – 1080p benchmarks, FSR and more!
Today we are taking a closer look at the Radeon 890M iGPU that’s found within the brand new AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 CPU. Of course, Mat already reviewed the ASUS Zenbook S 16 laptop that uses this CPU at the end of July, so this isn’t out first hands on with the machine, but today's video is focused on one thing – gaming on the 890M!

Testing
Today's testing is a bit different to our usual style, as we're not presenting a whole heap of benchmark charts. Instead, I captured a range of different games, running at a variety of image quality settings, some with and some without FSR – to give you a ‘real world' looking at the gaming performance on offer from this iGPU. That is quite hard to present in written form, so I do recommend watching the video above to see how this iGPU fares. We have timestamped each of the games tested so you can quickly skip ahead if you are more interested in specific titles.
For a short summary however, we are mighty impressed with what the Radeon 890M can do. Plenty of games tested delivered very playable performance, some even at High settings like Forza Horizon 5 and F1 23. Of course, this is still an iGPU so we have to be sensible, but for a low power chip for some on-the-go gaming, the results are certainly not to be sniffed at.
It's also worth pointing out that the ASUS Zenbook S 16 used for testing tops out at around 33W power for the CPU, and we know the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 is available in even higher power configurations, and that will have a knock on for iGPU performance. What I'm really keen to see, however, is how performance scales downwards, particularly with an eye to handheld devices which can often run at just 10-15W. That will have to wait for another day, but for now the 890M is suitably impressive in its current guise.
