AMD Claims Its Ryzen AI 300 APUs Demolish Intel Lunar Lake in Gaming Performance, Over 2x Uplift With FSR 3 In AAA Titles

AMD has shared new gaming benchmarks of its Ryzen AI 300 APUs, claiming a solid 75% uplift versus Lunar Lake using Radeon technologies such as FSR 3.

AMD Ryzen AI 300 vs Intel Lunar Lake Gaming Showdown Reveals Similar Performance At Native Resolution But FSR 3 Provides A Huge Boost

Both AMD & Intel have unleashed their latest SoCs for mobile gaming platforms such as laptops & handhelds. These include the Ryzen AI 300 “Strix Point” from the red team and the Core Ultra 200V “Lunar Lake” from the blue team. While the recent talks have mostly focused on the AI (NPU) & CPU side of things, AMD is now providing us with its first gaming benchmarks where it compares the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 against the Core Ultra 7 258V.

The first set of benchmarks compares both chips in a series of AAA games and here, AMD claims an average performance uplift of 75%. In some cases, the performance advantage of the AMD Ryzen AI 300 rises to 2x, which is an awesome increase, but do note that these benchmarks are done with FSR 3 enabled on the Strix Point APUs while the Lunar Lake CPU is running XeSS technologies. The former features frame-generation support which isn’t available with Intel’s XeSS, hence the gaming improvement is pretty evident here.

Following is the average performance uplift for the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 against the Core Ultra 7 258V in the titles tested (FSR 3/XeSS Enabled):

• Ghost of Tsushima: +124.1%
• Baldur’s Gate 3: +109.3%
• Call of Duty: Black Ops 6: +106.2%
• Forza Horizon 5: +98.5%
• Borderlands 3: +80.0%
