AMD 890GX SB850 Chipset Debut: Phenom II X6 Ready
For our next set of tests, we moved on to some in-game tests with Enemy Territory: Quake Wars running in its High Quality mode, at a resolution of 1280x1024. Then we move on to some multi-media tests using a handful of videos, encoded using MPEG 2 or H.264 to see how the Intel HD Graphics core handles the workload.

Our higher-resolution Enemy Territory:Quake Wars benchmark had the AMD 890GX / Radeon HD 4290 IGP performing just slightly better than the Intel HD Graphics of the Core i5-661, but well ahead of the older 785G.

We played back an assortment of multimedia files on the AMD 890GX to assess its video-playback performance and were pleased with the results. Regardless of the file type or CODEC used, CPU utilization remained very low and image quality was excellent.
