Radeon 800M Better Than GPUs

[mqaisataloss.]

This trickeling down more and more to handhelds will hope fully make gaming affordable.
Atleast the device, the cost of games is ramping up hard.

[CrinkledSoul]

Oo all integrated graphics beat my Radeon HD 5450

[injuringfleayeet]

No.... Yes....
I don't know how to feel about this

[warfrekmanreborn]

the problem of this cpu with igpu is price compare to cpu+gpu combo price

[TheSmilePerson]

Imagine gaming handhelds like the legion go now having this new igpu. Your basically getting a budget gaming pc on the go

[kensukedeluxe]

Damn, so even an integrated GPU is better than the laptop i was looking on buying (Core I5-10xxxH, GTX 1650 4GB)

While these iGPUs are good, I think VRAM is going to be an issue. Games like to take up ungodly amounts of RAM and VRAM, and with some of the RAM being allocated for VRAM, we'd have less RAM.

I was just at a tech conference where NPUs were installed in new laptops.
They take *SO* MUCH computational load of off both the CPU and GPU, that you can sqeeze a lot more performance out of both.
Theyre designed for offline LLM processing, but they're already being used for any open gate decision making that used to fall to the GPU.

FWIW the big point of low end video cards these days is extra monitors for office systems.

Onboard video was originally the exact same as what you could buy as an expansion card - In the days of Cirrus Logic, S3, SiS, Chips & Tech, all of them had integrated subsystems which were identical to PCI cards you could buy. Even companies like ATi and Paradise did this.

What stopped THAT was Intel putting the video into their chipset in the socket 370 days, making all those other onboard chipsets redundant and eating their market share overnight in favor of lower cost and worse performance.

That day came a long time ago for me, I have not sat down and gamed at my pc in over 15 years.

really love that integrated gpu's are getting better and better. I have a laptop with Intel irse and it's really good for my needs and also can do light gaming(Minecraft, Skyrim and alot of 2d games). Also good battery life too

[tjhedgescout]

That would be pretty convenient, the only problem is that you would need to make sure there is enough RAM to use as VRAM, and also fast enough to handle games.

[ikkimiura]

In fact, there was a time when GPUs did not even come on the motherboard, you had to buy an ISA or AGP GPU to have video output

[LordNelson]

Yes! Lower the bar for entry-level PC gaming! It should be enjoyed by as many people as possible.

[robster]

ITX builds will be really good in the next 5-10 years

[J-Vill]

I run my Legion Go at 30w and the battery life drops like crazy depending on the game your running and it's a chunky boy gets hot too, their would have to be a power/cooling solution to run these igpu in handheld form

[Velicorupter]

That’s great! I’m stuck with a dell computer from like 2008!

[reality]

Some of us remember when anything beyond simple arithmetic required a separate processor - and was very expensive.

[neotuxxedo]

I had integrated graphics and forgot to plug the hdmi into the gpu, it ran most games amazingly.

[IgniKing]

If it lets my VR headset play 2D games better than my current rig, I will be happy
