Quote:AMD is launching Ryzen 8000G desktop APU series on January 31st

AMD is officially introducing its long-awaited update to Ryzen APU series. 



The AM5 socket is set to receive an update with the introduction of the new Ryzen CPUs, marking the debut of the first 8000 desktop series. Despite the nomenclature suggesting a next-generation CPU series, these processors are, in fact, Zen4/RDNA3 mobile silicon presented in a new form factor – as modern desktop APU series. These APUs seamlessly integrate AMD’s latest CPU and GPU architectures, specifically Zen4/Zen4c and RDNA3 graphics.

Formally designated as AMD’s initial processors for the AM5 socket, the Ryzen 8000G series comes equipped with a built-in XDNA1 Ryzen AI accelerator. This claim is applicable to the 8-core Ryzen 7 8700G and 6-core Ryzen 5 8600G models, as they exclusively utilize the larger silicon. In contrast, the 6-core 8500G and 4-core 8300G employ a smaller Phoenix die, omitting the Ryzen AI processor from their configuration. The latter also come with Zen4c cores and 8300G will not be available as DIY part, only through OEMs and system integrators.

In terms of specifications, all SKUs boast a default TDP of 65W and are packaged with integrated RDNA3 graphics, either Radeon 780M (12CU), Radeon 760M (8CU) or Radeon 740M (4CU).
