Last month, right at the end of December, we published a unique review on the AMD Ryzen 5 Mobile 3500U APU in a thin and light laptop. In that initial article we focused on the CPU performance of that APU. Today we are going to focus on the iGPU performance of the APU, that is the Vega 8 graphics built into the APU package known as the Ryzen 5 Mobile 3500U.

In our first article we went over the specifications of the laptop and talked about the specifications of the CPU itself. We evaluated the CPU using many different applications based on real-world workloads. We looked at overall application performance and system benchmarks, encoding performance, rendering performance and internet performance. We also looked at the CPU frequency, power and temperature.
