Radeon 860M performing even worse than the Radeon 760M in our first benchmark results

[Redaktion]

It's not a great first start for the midrange Radeon 860M when it can't even match most older Radeon 760M laptops already in the market. Casual gamers may want to consider the Arc 140V or double-down on higher-end Radeon 880M or 890M options.

The Vivobook 16 uses soldered DDR5-5600 (worst of both world, slow and non upgradeable) not LPDDR5x-8000 that should explain the difference. Power limit wise the chassis is actually quite generous.

the vivobook 16 gpu performance is limited due to running single channel ram...what a worst article like userbenchmark...

And maybe even drivers not being optimized yet.

Seems like an article that prefers to have a flashy title than to actually investigate the issue itself.

Not seeing any literature supporting this single-channel claim, but that would explain the poor performance.
