Radeon Instinct MI25 MxGPU

2017

Why buy it

✅More future proof: GCN 5.0 (2017−2020) on 14nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌Very weak future-proofing: 2017-era hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 30.1 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $149 MSRP).
❌200% higher power demand at 300W vs 100W.

Radeon R7 370

2015

Why buy it

✅Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 30.1 vs 0 G3D/$ ($149 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
✅Draws 100W instead of 300W, a 200W reduction.

Quick Answers

So, is Radeon R7 370 better than Radeon Instinct MI25 MxGPU?

Yes, but this is not really about a huge raw performance gap. The broader synthetic picture is also very close at 4,403 vs 4,482 in G3D Mark. The bigger reason to prefer Radeon R7 370 is the overall package: you are getting FSR upscaling, plus much lower power draw (100W vs 300W).

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

Radeon Instinct MI25 MxGPU is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2017 generation instead of 2015 and a 14nm process instead of 28nm. That makes it the safer long-run choice for modern games.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

Radeon R7 370 can still make sense if you find it at the right price, especially around $149 MSRP. Radeon R7 370 is still the smarter buy for most people, though, because the raw performance is close while the overall package is cleaner. Radeon R7 370 is priced in an unclear MSRP range at $149 MSRP versus an unclear MSRP, and you are getting 1.8% higher G3D Mark. Radeon Instinct MI25 MxGPU is the newer 2017 card, so it still has a real case if you care more about newer architecture and future-proofing than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.

When does Radeon Instinct MI25 MxGPU make more sense than Radeon R7 370?

Yes. Radeon Instinct MI25 MxGPU is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. It makes more sense if your priority is newer architecture, future-proofing, and staying closer to an unclear MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of Radeon R7 370. The trade-off is that Radeon R7 370 currently gives you 1.8% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 100+%.
