AMD announced an array of new products at CES 2024 earlier this month, including new CPUs, a GPU, and software. We recently took a look at the Radeon RX 7600 XT, AMD’s latest mainstream consumer GPU for PC gamers, but today we’re going to shift gears and check out a couple of processors that are part of the new Ryzen 8000G series, more specifically, the Ryzen 7 8700G and Ryzen 5 8600G.
The new Ryzen 7 8700G and Ryzen 5 8600G are mainstream APUs designed for AMD’s socket AM5, similar to the Ryzen 7000 series for desktops. Although their 8000-series branding suggests these are next-generation processors, the Ryzen 8000G series is actually based on existing technology. They feature Zen 4 processor cores, an RDNA 3-based integrated GPU, and target mainstream market segments. While Ryzen 7000 series desktop processors also feature Zen 4 cores and technically have an integrated GPU, the Radeons incorporated into the Ryzen 8000G series are much more capable and feature as many as 12CUs (Compute Units).
