The Best AMD IGPs vs RTX 5050 - Testing on IdeaPad Pro 5

The best AMD integrated graphics on affordable laptops will bring great battery life, very good gaming performance for casual gamers, surprisingly decent creator workload acceleration and are all-round amazing budget-focused options. Unfortunately Strix Halo (Ryzen Ai MAX series) is a whole other step upwards in price but if you want to pay a bit more here's now the RTX 5050 as an option. In order to test the RTX 5050 vs integrated graphics, we're using the Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5, an RTX 5050 laptop that will be available with integrated graphics too. So which one is the best?
