AMD Radeon 780M RDNA 3 iGPU On Phoenix APUs Benchmarked: Plays Cyberpunk 2077 & Many AAA Games At 1080P 60 FPS

wccftech.com:

AMD's Radeon 780M iGPU which features the RDNA 3 architecture has been shown to run several games including Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p 60 FPS.

The AMD Phoenix Laptops featuring the Ryzen 7040 APUs are coming real soon and ETA Prime got their hands on one of those laptops, the 2023 ASUS TUF A15, which houses a  Ryzen 9 7940HS chip. The APU features the Zen 4 core architecture but more importantly, comes with a brand new RDNA 3 powered Radeon 780M iGPU which should offer a big boost in graphics performance.

The AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS is the flagship of the Ryzen 7040 CPU family for laptops which arrives later this quarter. This CPU features 8 cores, 16 threads, a base clock of 4.0 GHz, a boost clock of 5.2 GHz, a 40 MB total cache, and an integrated RDNA 3 GPU known as the Radeon 780M with 12 Compute Units operating at up to 2800 MHz.

We have already seen synthetic benchmarks for the AMD Radeon 780M iGPU but it's time we focus on the gaming benchmarks. The laptop features 32 GB of DDR5-5200 memory which was tuned to run at DDR5-5600 and running a stress test such as Furmark revealed that the GPU on the chip was pulling around 45W of power. Since it's stressing the GPU, gaming workloads should manage power between the CPU and GPU.

In 3DMark Time Spy, the CPU scored 11,453 points whereas the GPU scored 2830 points which are expected of the chip without any overclocking and the 45W power limit. Once again, with a little bit of tuning, the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS and its Radeon 780M iGPU can easily achieve a score of over 3K points in 3DMark's Time Spy graphics test.

Starting with the games, we have CSGO running at 1080p High at over 100 FPS and going in the 150+ range. GTA V at 1080p and very high settings average around 60-70 FPS through the
