AMD Radeon 860M vs AMD Radeon 890M vs AMD Radeon 880M
AMD Radeon 860M
► remove from comparison
The Radeon 860M is a fairly powerful RDNA 3.5 architecture iGPU that debuted in early 2025 in Krakan Point APUs and a direct successor to the Radeon 760M. It packs just a few differences under the hood, such as faster caches; its 8 CUs/WGPs (512 unified shaders) run at up to 3,000 MHz.
DX12 Ultimate, ray tracing, AI image generation and other modern features are all supported here, as are many popular video codecs including first and foremost AVC, HEVC, VP9 and AV1. The latest addition to that list, the VVC codec, is not HW-supported unlike it is with Intel Lunar Lake chips. Miracast and FreeSync support is present. The iGPU can drive up to 4 monitors simultaneously with resolutions as high as SUHD 4320p60.
RDNA 3.5-based GPUs are projected to be fully supported by AMD until some time in 2027.
Performance
Its gaming performance is good enough for playing 2024 games in low graphics settings.
Power consumption
Krakan Point chips are a single-die design, meaning the iGPU is built with the same TSMC N4P process as the CPU cores for above average, as of late 2024, power efficiency.
AMD Radeon 890M
► remove from comparisonThe Radeon 890M is the most powerful AMD iGPU, as of mid 2024. It features 16 RDNA 3.5 architecture CUs (1024 unified shaders) running at up to 2,900 MHz. Ray tracing, AI image generation and other modern features are all supported here, as are the most popular video codecs including first and foremost AVC, HEVC, VP9 and AV1. The latest addition to that list, the VVC codec, is not HW-supported unlike it is with Intel Lunar Lake chips.
The AMD iGPU is capable of driving four SUHD 4320p60 monitors simultaneously. It also supports Miracast and FreeSync. RDNA 3.5-based iGPUs are projected to be fully supported by AMD until some time in 2027.
Performance
Performance-wise, the graphics adapter can be as slow as the Arc 8 or as fast as the RTX 2050 Laptop depending on the benchmark or game. On average, the 890M finds itself very close to the GTX 1650 Laptop making it possible to play 2024 AAA games at 1080p with most settings set to Low. Baldur's Gate 3 is playable on medium settings, as are several other 2023 games.
Power consumption
Strix Point chips are a single-die design, meaning the iGPU is built with the same TSMC N4P process as the CPU cores for very decent, as of mid 2024, power efficiency.
The 890M delivers as much performance as an entry-level desktop graphics card while consuming just 10 to 20 Watts.
AMD Radeon 880M
► remove from comparisonThe Radeon 880M is a fairly powerful RDNA 3.5 architecture iGPU that debuted in June 2024 and a direct successor to the Radeon 780M. It packs just a few differences under the hood, such as faster caches; its 12 CUs/WGPs (768 unified shaders) run at up to 2,900 MHz.
DX12 Ultimate, ray tracing, AI image generation and other modern features are all supported here, as are many popular video codecs including first and foremost AVC, HEVC, VP9 and AV1. The latest addition to that list, the VVC codec, is not HW-supported unlike it is with Intel Lunar Lake chips. Miracast and FreeSync support is present. The iGPU can drive up to 4 monitors simultaneously with resolutions as high as SUHD 4320p60.
RDNA 3.5-based GPUs are projected to be fully supported by AMD until some time in 2027.
Performance
With well over 30 fps in both Once Human and The First Descendant (1080p - Low), this iGPU is certainly fast enough for a fair bit of casual as well as competitive gaming.
Power consumption
Strix Point chips are a single-die design, meaning the iGPU is built with the same TSMC N4P process as the CPU cores for above average, as of late 2024, power efficiency.
The 880M delivers almost as much performance as an entry-level desktop graphics card while consuming just 10 W to 20 W of juice.
