Graphics
The Minisforum AI X1 Pro has the AMD Radeon 890M integrated graphics card. It features 1024 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs. The card also has 16 raytracing acceleration cores. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 400 MHz, which can be boosted up to 2900 MHz.
The following benchmarks were run with the AMD Radeon 890M’s frame buffer size set to its default 2GB. The BIOS lets me change the buffer size to a smaller 1GB or increase it to 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, or 48GB.

The machine with the i5-12400 hosts a dedicated graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti). It’s therefore no surprise it romps home in the test. But the AI X1 Pro’s Radeon 890M performance is impressive, significantly faster than the Arc 140T iGPU from the Core Ultra 7 255H.
800×600 is a very low resolution to play games. Let’s re-run the benchmark but at a higher resolution.
The Radeon 890M’s score of 72 frames per second bodes very well for gaming at 1080p. I’ll be testing some games in a later series in this article.
I also ran glmark2, an OpenGL 2.0 and ES 2.0 benchmark on the Minisforum AI X1 Pro. Here are the results.
The Radeon 890M scores 11917. This is with XOrg. The benchmark score is slightly higher under Wayland (11970).
This is a very high score for an integrated graphics card. The Arc 140T scores a paltry 6914 by comparison yet that’s also a well-regarded iGPU.
