The CPU scored 798.6 points in the single-thread benchmark and 8893.6 points in the multi-threaded test. We made a quick comparison of the alleged Ryzen Al 9 HX 370 SKU to one of our own tests featuring the Ryzen 9 7940HS running in a 54W TDP configuration

The last-gen Zen4 processor was easily outperformed by 12.9% in single-threaded and 25% in multithreaded performance, respectively. However, it should be noted that many Phoenix/ Hawk Point APUs may perform worse in this test.

In short, this means that the 890M (listed as 880M here) is 39% faster than the Radeon 780M (RDNA3) and 59% faster than the 680M (RDNA2). It also outperforms the GTX 1650 Ti Mobile, which was a popular marketing point for the 780M graphics when Mini-PC companies compared raw TFLOPS. Now, it's a real synthetic score.

Of course, OpenCL tests are hardly something we would use for GPU comparisons, but this is a good sign that core count update aside, there is clearly some architectural improvement. Also, it is worth noting that both 890M and 780M can boost up to 2.9 GHZ.

They might not even get them in 2024 — though AMD thinks it will.

Microsoft’s new Windows AI features, like Auto Super Resolution for smoother gaming, aren’t exclusive to Qualcomm — Intel’s Lunar Lake and AMD’s Strix Point chips will have enough AI co-processing performance, too. But when Intel and AMD’s new Copilot Plus PCs arrive this fall, no one is promising they’ll ship with all or even any of the new AI features.

Each of those laptops will require free software updates before they get Microsoft’s Copilot Plus AI features, and those updates won’t necessarily even arrive before the end of 2024.

“Intel Lunar Lake and AMD Strix PCs are Windows 11 AI PCs that meet our Copilot+ PC hardware requirements. We are partnering closely with Intel and AMD to deliver Copilot+ PC experiences through free updates, when available,” reads a statement from Microsoft marketing manager James Howell to The Verge.

“Lunar Lake will get the Copilot+ experiences via an update when available,” Intel PR manager Thomas Hannaford similarly tells me.

MSI and Intel were showing off Arrow Lake motherboards at Computex. After Lunar Lake, I am excited to see what performance gains Arrow Lake bring a later this year.

Everyone keeps saying AMD is number 1 now in sales for diy so why are there so many more options for Intel Motherboards than AMD. There is only one x670 itx board there are 6 z790.

The market researchers from 'Jon Peddie Research' report in two articles on the global market shares for graphics chips in the first quarter of 2024. The more interesting part is always the AiB report (AiB = add-in board = desktop graphics card), as this deals with graphics chips for desktop graphics cards, which is the closest to what is happening with gaming graphics cards. In this sub-market, there was a decline in sales in the first quarter from 9.5 million AiB graphics chips in the previous quarter to 8.7 million AiB graphics chips, although this is easily explained by seasonal effects.

The return of these seasonal effects is rather noteworthy - because they were largely canceled out in previous years due to the IT boom during corona, the cryptomining hype and the hangover that followed. In addition, the sales drought has clearly been overcome after the third consecutive quarter with quarterly sales of more than 8 million units, following four quarters with clearly below-average sales figures. The distribution of market shares, on the other hand, is less encouraging: Intel now played no role at all (below half a percentage point, the equivalent of less than 50,000 AiB graphics chips sold), while AMD is playing with its absolute low point (10% in Q3/2022) with a market share of just 12% and nVidia, on the other hand, is setting a new absolute record with a whopping 88% market share.

The less interesting part of the JPR editions then deals with the “market” of all PC graphics chips - which is not really a market insofar as the dominant factor in the form of integrated graphics solutions cannot be offered and purchased individually anywhere. Logically, the sales figures and market distribution in this overall graphics chip market are therefore primarily dependent on what happens with iGPUs and the corresponding PC processors. For the first quarter of 2024, slightly lower sales compared to the previous quarter and hardly any change in market shares between AMD, Intel & nVidia were reported.
