AMD Ryzen 9000G APU appears in RDNA 3.5 nuclear display performance exposed

[CNMO Technology News]Recently, an unnamed AMD Ryzen 9000G series desktop processor engineering sample appeared in the FurMark benchmark test, revealing the initial performance of the new RDNA 3.5 architecture nuclear display it is equipped with in terms of graphics performance. The product number of this processor is “100-000001868-30\_Y”, and has not appeared in AMD’s official product catalog yet, but many people speculate that it belongs to the Ryzen 9000G series APU that will be released in the fourth quarter of this year.

FurMark is a well-known GPU stress testing tool known for its demanding qualities and can be used to evaluate the graphics performance of integrated graphics cards under high loads. At 1440p resolution, the iGPU of this Ryzen 9000G engineering sample scored 1097 points, slightly 1% higher than the existing Radeon 780M; while at 4K resolution, it scored 542 points, slightly lower than the 566 points of the Radeon 780M, with a gap of about 5%. It is speculated that this test sample may not be the flagship model of the 9000G series.

It is understood that the Ryzen 9000G series will adopt the latest Zen 5 CPU architecture and integrate iGPU based on RDNA 3.5 architecture, which is one of the few high-performance APU products on the AM5 platform. Judging from the test information, the maximum frequency of this iGPU reaches 3.1GHz, which is an improvement compared to the 3.0GHz of the Radeon 890M, indicating that it has certain advantages in frequency performance.

In terms of power consumption, this iGPU consumes 47W at full load of 1440p, and rises to 50W at 4K, slightly higher than the 46W of the Radeon 890M. This may also explain one of the reasons why the test results failed to meet expectations – the current test version is an early engineering sample, and subsequent official versions still have room for optimization in terms of performance and energy efficiency.

Although the specific SKU number and model information about the Ryzen 9000G series has not been released yet, the exposure of this test sample indicates that AMD continues to make efforts in integrated graphics performance.
