AMD's upcoming RDNA 3.5 iGPU engine will provide a 15% performance gain over RDNA 3, according to recent Asus product descriptions. Found by VideoCardz, new charts claim that the 880M integrated graphics inside the Ryzen AI 9 365 mobile APU score 15% higher than the 780M in Time Spy testing.
AMD has so far declined to share RDNA 3.5's exact performance boost over RDNA 3 when comparing the Radeon 880M vs the prior generation Radeon 780M. AMD did share at its Zen 5 Tech Day that the new Radeon 890M could outperform the 780M by 19% to 32%. Both iGPUs run at 15W, meaning the 890M beats the 780M at that level for the same energy, but it gets an unfair advantage: the 780M contains 12 compute units (CUs) while the 890M upgrades to 16 CUs.
Asus's latest product listing makes clear the performance boost from the 12 CU 780M to the 12 CU Radeon 880M. Seen below, the infographic shows the 880M beats the 780M by 15% in Time Spy benchmarks, with the mobile 40W RTX 3050 not far ahead at 138% of the 780M. Asus describes the iGPU as being suitable for "MOBA and FPS games" — in other words, good enough for esports titles with a chance at AAA games on 1080p low/medium.
