My personal benchmark has been "can it play Witcher 3 (almost a 10 year old game by now) at 1080p/60fps on high settings" - and we are getting there only recently (https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-890M-Benchmarks-and...).
Hopefully the platforms with CUDIMM will finally deliver the bandwidth needed.
