$ phoronix-test-suite benchmark unigine-valley
Unigine Valley is a 3D graphics benchmark. It renders a detailed outdoor valley scene with forests, mountains, lighting, shadows, water, clouds, depth of field, and camera fly-throughs, then reports performance in frames per second and a benchmark score. It’s useful because it gives a quick, repeatable way to compare GPU performance under Linux, especially for integrated graphics.
The i5-12400 result shouldn’t be treated as a CPU comparison, as that system has an NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti, which explains its clear lead in both Unigine Valley tests.
Among the mini PCs, the BOSGAME VTA-439 is the standout performer. It reaches 209 FPS at 800×600 and 82 FPS at 1920×1080, ahead of every integrated graphics system in the chart. That puts it above the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, Ryzen 9 8945HS, Ryzen 9 7940HS, and Intel’s Core Ultra mini PCs.
The comparison with the HX 370 is particularly useful. Both chips use the Radeon 890M, but the VTA-439’s HX 470 has the GPU clocked higher, and that shows clearly: the VTA-439 is about 12% faster at 800×600 and about 14% faster at 1080p. That’s a meaningful uplift for the same GPU class.
Intel’s integrated graphics remain behind here. The Core Ultra 9 285H is competitive at 1080p, but still trails the VTA-439, while the newer Core Ultra 7 356H is well short of AMD’s 890M performance. The Core Ultra 9 285HX performs poorly in this test, highlighting that its CPU strength doesn’t translate into strong integrated GPU performance.
The N100 is again in a different league entirely, with the VTA-439 delivering nearly 7x the 800×600 performance and over 8x the 1080p performance.
I also ran glmark2, an OpenGL 2.0 / OpenGL ES 2.0 benchmark, on the VTA-439. Here are the results.
The VTA-439 achieved a glmark2 score of 26,997, around 8.5% higher than the 24,878 recorded by the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 system. Both processors use AMD’s Radeon 890M integrated GPU, but the HX 470 clocks the GPU higher, which helps explain the improved result. It’s not a generational leap, but it’s a worthwhile uplift and reinforces the VTA-439 as the fastest integrated-graphics mini PC in this comparison.
