Amd is probably cooked unless they release efficient igpu like b390.

Intel is destroying AMD with this iGPU in 2026. I never thought I would write those words with tangible evidence supporting it.

I agree... I acquired the 890m based laptop with 375 HX AI ... The GPU does all my basic LLM tasks flawlessly...I wonder much more the B390 will do. But kudozz to intel
