AMD at the CES 2024 conference, as scheduled, brought the Ryzen 8000G series of high-performance APUs, they are actually the desktop version of the Ryzen 8040 series mobile processors, TDP is released to 65W, which can provide stronger performance than the mobile version, more surprisingly, AMD also launched new processors for the old AM4 platform, including Ryzen 7 5700X3D, injecting new power into this old platform that has been in service for 6 years.
First of all, let's take a look at the Ryzen 8000G series APU, as with the previous news, the new generation of APU has two different cores, Ryzen 7 8700G and Ryzen 5 8600G use a pure Zen 4 core version, which supports Ryzen AI, while Ryzen 5 8500G and Ryzen 3 8300G use that Zen 4 + Zen 4C version, and there is no NPU inside the core, so it does not support Ryzen AI.
Ryzen 7 8700G is 8 cores and 16 threads, with a maximum boost frequency of 51GHz, with 16MB L3 cache, TDP 65W, equipped with Radeon 780M GPU, with 12 groups of CU units, GPU frequency 29ghz；
Ryzen 5 8600G is 6 cores and 12 threads, with a maximum boost frequency of 50GHz, with 16MB L3 cache, TDP 65W, equipped with Radeon 760M GPU, with 8 groups of CU units, GPU frequency 28ghz；
The Ryzen 5 8500G has 2 ZEN 4 and 4 ZEN 4C for a total of 12 threads, with a maximum boost frequency of 50GHz, with 16MB L3 cache, TDP 65W, equipped with Radeon 740M GPU, with 4 CU units, GPU frequency 28ghz；
The Ryzen 3 8300G has 1 ZEN 4 and 3 ZEN 4Cs for a total of 8 threads, with a maximum boost frequency of 49GHz, 8MB L3 cache, TDP 65W, Radeon 740M GPU, 4 CU units, GPU frequency 26ghz。
In addition to the Ryzen 3 8300G, the Ryzen 8000G series processors will go on sale on January 31, and the Ryzen 3 8300G will not be directly available to the retail market, but will be available to system builders within the first quarter of 2024.
All Radeon 700M graphics cards support FSR3 frame generation, which can greatly increase the frame rate of games.
The Radeon 780M GPU of the Ryzen 7 8700G allows many games to run smoothly at a frame rate of more than 60FPS at 1080p low image quality, and many games can even reach the level of high brushing, even without a discrete graphics card, it can provide good gaming performance, suitable for entry-level gamers who do not have too high requirements for image quality.
This is the gaming test result of the Ryzen 7 8700G with Radeon 7900XTX, and the APU does not limit the performance of the GPU.
Needless to say, the competition with the opponent's nuclear display performance is purely beating children.
Next, this comparison is interesting,Ryzen 7 8700G and Core i5-13400F with GTX 1650 independent graphics platform comparison,In some games, the average frame rate of Ryzen 7 8700G is much higher than this set of independent graphics platform,And some games are lower but not too bad,But the cost of Ryzen 7 8700G's core graphics platform is much cheaper than that of that independent graphics card。
In addition, Ryzen 7 8700G and Ryzen 5 8600G are NPUs that integrate XDNA architecture, support Ryzen AI, NPU computing power up to 16 TFLOPS, and the entire CPU can provide up to 39 TFLOPS computing power, and now there are more than 100 AI application scenarios on the market to experience Ryzen AI, and it will be added in the future.
Next is the upgrade of the AM4 platform, although AMD has now gradually promoted the upgrade plan of the AM5 platform, but after all, there is still a lot of market for DDR4 memory, so it is necessary to maintain the update of the AM4 platform, and for the old users of the AM4 platform, upgrading the AM5 platform means replacing the entire set of equipment, and the launch of a new AM4 processor also provides a low-cost upgrade solution for these old users.
The first to appear is the Ryzen 7 5700X3D processor, which is actually a downclocked version of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, which also has 8 cores and 16 threads, with the blessing of 3D V-Cache, it has a large L3 cache of 96MB, and the TDP is also 105W, but the maximum acceleration frequency of the processor is from 45ghz down to 41GHz, the base frequency is also from 34GHz down to 30GHz, of course, the processor will also be lower, selling for $249.
The competitor is the same Core i5-13600K, which shows that the Ryzen 7 5700X3D can show stronger gaming performance with the blessing of the large L3 cache.
Next up is the Ryzen 7 5700, which is different from the Ryzen 7 5700X, which uses a Cezanne chip, which means that it is actually a coreless version of the Ryzen 7 5700G. It has 8 cores and 16 threads with a base frequency of 37GHz with an acceleration frequency of 46GHz, 65W TDP, no GPU, 4MB L2 cache and 16MB L3 cache, half the L3 cache capacity compared to the Ryzen 7 5700X, but the base clock is 300MHz higher, and the base clock is 100MHz lower compared to the Ryzen 7 5700G.
The rival is the Core i5-12400F, which has similar gaming performance, with the Ryzen 7 5700 performing better in some games.
The Ryzen 5 5600GT and Ryzen 5 5500GT are actually overclocked versions of the Ryzen 5 5600G, both of which have 6 cores and 12 threads, 16MB of L3 cache, a TDP of 65W, and a CPU base frequency of 36GHz, while the Ryzen 5 5600GT can have a maximum boost frequency of 46GHz, compared to 4 for the Ryzen 5 5500GT4GHz, the CPU frequency is the same as Ryzen 5 5600G, and the core graphics frequency is not marked, but it should be higher than Ryzen 5 5600G.
The Ryzen 5 5600GT has higher gaming and CPU performance than the Ryzen 5 5600G.
Ryzen 5 5600GT and Ryzen 5 5500GT are equipped with 7 groups of VEGA architecture CU, GPU frequency is 1900MHz, in fact, it is the same as Ryzen 5 5600G, as for why the game performance will be a little higher than Ryzen 5 5600G, it is not clear.
These new Ryzen 5000 processors will also go on sale on January 31, with the Ryzen 7 5700X3D priced at $249, the Ryzen 7 5700** at $175 with the Wraith Spire cooler, and the Ryzen 5 5600GT and Ryzen 5 5500GT** at $140 and $125 respectively, both shipping the Wraith Stealth cooler.
