AMD Ryzen AI 300 APUs Outperform Intel Lunar Lake with FSR 3

AMD has released new gaming benchmarks for its Ryzen AI 300 APUs, claiming a 75% performance improvement compared to Intel’s Lunar Lake, thanks to the use of Radeon technologies like FSR 3. AMD and Intel have released new SoCs for game-oriented mobile platforms, including laptops and handhelds.

Both AMD’s Ryzen AI 300 “Strix Point,” and Intel’s Core Ultra 200V “Lunar Lake” feature notable advancements to their respective NPU (AI) and CPU. But now AMD appears to be showing off gaming levels of performance with its Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 against Intel’s own Core Ultra 7 258V.

AMD Claims Ryzen AI 300 APUs Outperform Intel Lunar Lake, 2x Uplift with FSR 3 in AAA Games

AMD says it topped the performance of Intel’s recently announced Lunar Lake by an average of 75% in a batch of AAA game tests. The Ryzen AI 300 will offer up to a 2x performance improvement in some cases. This is being done with FSR 3 on the Strix Point APUs, and using Intel’s XeSS technologies on the Lunar Lake CPUs. However, since FSR 3 so far only provides frame generation which is missing for Intel’s XeSS, this performance gap also becomes very transparent.

Some games that show significant improvements with Ryzen AI 300 include Ghost of Tsushima (+124.1%), Baldur’s Gate 3 (+109.3%), and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 (+106.2%). AMD further stacks the performance at native resolutions between Intel’s Xe2 and RDNA 3.5 iGPUs. But AAA games played on mobile devices do get a fair boost from FSR 3 and HYPR-RX support, which is where AMD’s Ryzen AI 300 chips are going to have an advantage.

By the way, AMD’s FSR 3 is supported in more than 95 games, and Intel’s XeSS only works in about 130 titles, nor has frame generation support. Coupled with the open nature of FSR 3 also being beneficial for Intel iGPUs, these Ryzen APU is looking like a solid buy for gamers alike. With future driver updates, AMD’s performance in AAA titles is expected to improve further.

FAQs

How much better is AMD’s Ryzen AI 300 in gaming compared to Intel’s Lunar Lake?

AMD’s Ryzen AI 300 offers up to a 75% performance uplift and even more in some cases, reaching up to 2x the performance in AAA titles when using FSR 3.

What makes FSR 3 better than XeSS in gaming?

FSR 3, available on AMD’s Ryzen AI 300, supports frame generation, providing smoother gameplay, while Intel’s XeSS lacks this feature, giving AMD an edge in gaming performance.
