At the recent CES 2024 exhibition, AMD officially released the Ryzen 8000G series desktop APU and a new batch of AM4 processors, from the perspective of architecture design, the Ryzen 8000G series is actually evolved from the mobile Ryzen 8000, but the TDP power consumption and other parameters are different, the Ryzen 8000G family has four models: Ryzen 7 8700G, Ryzen 5 8600G, Ryzen 5 8500G and Ryzen 3 8300G, The first three are directly for the retail market, while the Ryzen 3 8300G is only available to OEMs.
The specifications of Ryzen 8000G, the first intuitive feeling is, of course, the increase in the maximum boost frequency, which is the same experience as upgrading from the Ryzen 5000 series to the Ryzen 7000 series - the APU officially stepped into the 5In the 0GHz era, the increase in the core display frequency of the RDNA 3 architecture is also very obvious, and it has returned to the number of heap CU units in the ZEN+ era, such a set of parameters is stacked, and the TDP of the last four generations of APUs is still 65W, and the energy consumption ratio is obviously getting better and better.
The Ryzen 7 8700G and Ryzen 5 8600G also have a built-in Ryzen AI engine composed of NPU (Neural Network Processing Unit), of which the NPU computing power can provide 16 Tflops, and the CPU as a whole can reach up to 39 Tflops like the flagship Ryzen 9 9 8945HS on mobile. The Ryzen 5 8500G and Ryzen 3 8300G models do not have NPU units, and the cores are designed with a special hybrid architecture of Zen 4 and Zen 4C.
Entering 2024, the concept of AI PC is becoming more and more popular, which is also due to the imminent launch of Microsoft's Windows 12 operating system this year, the focus of the system upgrade must be on AI applications and functions, and the software level naturally needs NPU hardware to run, and Ryzen 8000G belongs to the first batch of desktop-level CPUs with built-in NPU hardware, and the advanced configuration will undoubtedly provide the best AI performance optimization support, and it is Ryzen 5 8600G, a thousand-yuan CPU, can be experienced at the beginning.
This first experience is Ryzen 7 8700G, the packaging box follows the style design of the previous Ryzen 7000 series - cement gray background color + concise orange line decoration, and the upper left corner is also deliberately marked with a triangle to indicate that it supports the Ryzen AI engine, and the middle is still a familiar small window design.
Ryzen 7 8700g body, the familiar "octopus" top cover design, eight cores and sixteen threads pure large core specifications, the base frequency is 42GHz, boost max frequency of 51GHz, L2+L3 cache total 24MB, it can be seen that the APU cache design will not be very large, combined with the frequency and Ryzen 7000 series family to form a clear differentiation product line.
The AM5 package is made of contacts, which is a safer installation design and can avoid the risk of "uprooting".
The Ryzen 7 8700G offers a Wraith Spire cooler, which belongs to the LED-free design, while the 8600G comes standard with a WRAITH Stealth cooler, and the difference between the two will not be very big, after all, the TDP is only 65W, and the official cooler is completely sufficient without overclocking and cost savings.
Ghost Wraith Spire is a radiator in the form of aluminum squeeze + fan press, the surface has been coated with silicone grease, and there is no need for additional buckle installation, which is very convenient to install.
The motherboard from the ASUS ROG B650-A Gaming WiFi is designed to unleash the performance of the Ryzen 7 8700G with luxurious power specifications, excellent scalability, and the latest BIOS support.
All platforms of the test memory are unified with the Acer Predator's Pallas II Lingshuang DDR5 6000 16GB*2 set, which can perfectly meet the needs of Zen 4 architecture 6000MHz dessert memory frequency and mainstream players, the specific selling point will be discussed later.
The test CPU cooler is from the Kyushu Fengshen Ice Cube AK500S, which is a five-heat pipe single-tower air-cooled radiator with a digital display and blackened appearance, which is enough to suppress the Ryzen 7 8700G well.
Before testing, update the motherboard BIOS, then turn on the Expo I configuration to achieve DDR5 6000 C30-38-38-76 16GB*2, and install the beta version of the motherboard chipset and graphics card driver, of course, it is worth noting that if you want to give full play to the maximum performance of Ryzen 7 8700G by default, you also need to set the PBO option to the enabled state, and the auto performance has not yet reached the maximum from the factory.
The last step is to remember to set the video memory capacity in the UMA frame buffer size option, which is generally recommended to be 8GB to avoid the explosion of video memory, and it can also be set to 16GB if necessary, after all, the mainstream capacity of DDR5 is 32GB, and most players don't need to worry about not enough.
Let's look at the CPU-Z and GPU-Z parameters first, the overall specifications of Ryzen 7 8700G are closer to Ryzen 7 7700, but**The cache has been cut from 32MB to 16MB, the frequency has dropped slightly, and the TDP power consumption is the same as 65W, but it is worth noting that Ryzen 7 8700G uses a more advanced TSMC 4nm FinFET process, which involves overclocking, and we will break it down next time.
GPU-Z can already identify Radeon 780M core graphics, CU units have reached 12, DDR5 memory has also brought significant bandwidth performance improvement to the core graphics, RDNA 3 architecture and TSMC 4nm FinFET process have increased the scale of stream processing to 768, and the GPU core frequency has skyrocketed to 2900MHz, which is higher than the RDNA 3 architecture of the independent graphics card, it can only be said that the scale has changed too much compared with the previous generation of VEGA core graphics.
The first object to join the comparison (only participate in the game test),From Intel Core i7-14700K built-in UHD Graphics 770,In a non-strict sense,UHD 770 is already a derivative of the 11th generation Core (UHD 750 to UHD 770 is essentially a frequency difference),That is, it is earlier than the previous generation VEGA core display time,As for the CPU part, it is not compared,After all, the core size is not equal, The selling point is also different.
The second object of comparison,From Intel Core i5 13490F+NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti 4GB CPU and discrete graphics combination,CPU is also a very common 13th generation non-K Core i5,As for GTX 1050 Ti 4GB, this discrete graphics card is very classic,Now it is still in the top 10 of Steam graphics card usage,What's more interesting is that the number of Radeon 780M stream processors is equivalent to GTX 1050 Ti, Can you replace it, and answer it in the test session?
The third object of comparison, from Intel Core i5 13490F+NVIDIA GTX 1650 D6 4GB CPU and GPU combination, GTX 1650 D6 itself is to replace GTX 1050 Ti, and the theoretical performance is more similar to GTX 1060 6GB. As for why this comparison, because whether it is GTX 1050 Ti or GTX 1650 D6, the total price will be very close to the unit price of Ryzen 7 8700G when paired with i5 13490F.

Premiere Pro This project relies on both CPU and graphics card performance,Due to better CUDA acceleration optimization,Intel Core i5 13490F+NVIDIA GTX 1650 D6 combination is ahead of Ryzen 7 8700G to reach 30%,It is indeed crushed in the software ecology,But Radeon 780M uses OpenCL acceleration effect,The performance can also be as close to GTX 1050 Ti as possible, The experience of using the two is basically the same.
The Cinbench R23 multi-core project is baked in ten minutes, and the CPU package temperature of the Ryzen 7 8700G is 79, the CPU package power consumption is 102W, and the fan speed is 1582 rpm, and the heatsink does not need to exert its full strength to suppress.
Cinbench R23 multi-core project 10 minutes bake, Intel Core i5 13490F CPU package temperature is 58, CPU package power consumption is 96W, note that 360 AIO water cooling is used here.
The performance of the two in terms of baking is also very different, and the baking frequency of the Ryzen 7 8700g can reach 48GHz, while the Core i5 13490F is 42ghz+3.5GHz of large and small core frequency,Intel still has an advantage in temperature control,But the frequency is indeed lower,The power consumption is only a reference comparison of the display,Ryzen 7 8700G is only higher than 10W。
Ryzen 7 8700G's NPU hardware cannot be displayed normally in the current Windows version, but you can see the IPU frequency and usage rate by using HWINFO64 software (the GPU or IPU naming method will be used before the update), and the NPU operation will be directly seen in the Windows Task Manager after the subsequent system update support.
NPU hardware can currently support the application is the game plus plus (gamepp),Note that this test uses the game plus plus internal test version,The general version of the official website does not support NPU hardware,You can see the NPU frequency and NPU occupation options in the game monitoring,This software is actually called hwinfo64Monitoring part,It's just more convenient to operate,In line with the habits of Chinese people。
The hardware details displayed in the game plus plus,The parameters are very detailed,Personally, I think it can be a perfect replacement for afterburner,After all, hwinfo64The software update speed is faster。
So what are the examples of the use of NPU hardware in game Plus? As gamers know, many games and graphics cards now support automatic capture and recording of wonderful kill shots, but the traditional recording method will occupy CPU or graphics card resources, and the use of NPU hardware will not occupy additional Ryzen 7 8700G resources, and currently supports "Naraka: Infinite", "The Finals" and "Valorant" three games, hard verification "Naraka: Infinity" NPU hardware is running normally, and not a single kill shot has been missed.
What can be expected with this instance of NPU hardware? Obviously, after the official release of the Windows 12 system, it will be accompanied by the birth of a large number of light AI applications, such as translation assistants, which can directly call NPU hardware, no need to search on Google web pages, and the accuracy rate is higher.
As for heavy AI applications, or using a graphics card to run, this is the general concept of AI PC. Here we use the most common Stable Diffusion AI painting application to test the computing power of Radeon 780M 8GB 16GB, GTX 1050 TI 4GB and GTX 1650 D6 4GB.

The Radeon 780M 8GB Stable Diffusion AI painting time is about 36 seconds, and the SDXL medium memory mode is optional.
Radeon 780M 16GB Stable Diffusion AI painting time is about 34 seconds, and the video memory is abundant, just choose 12GB mode.
The GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Stable Diffusion AI painting time is about 36 seconds, and you need to use low video memory mode, otherwise you won't be able to run.
The GTX 1650 D6 4GB Stable Diffusion AI painting time is about 46 seconds, and it also uses the low video memory mode, which eats up some memory during this time.
Under normal settings, Radeon 780M 8GB AI drawing efficiency is equivalent to GTX 1050 Ti 4GB, but it is strange that GTX 1650 D6 4GB is actually slower than them by 10 seconds, and the same is true for viewing online reference data, the biggest advantage of Radeon 780M is the video memory capacity, and when the resolution is higher, it can even be set to 16GB, but Radeon 780M has to pay attention to the ratio of memory, If you often run AI drawing, 64GB RAM is more suitable.
When the GTX 1050 Ti 4GB and GTX 1650 D6 4GB use higher resolution output, it will directly prompt that the 4GB capacity is insufficient and cannot run, and if you use the low video memory optimization mode, the efficiency will be greatly reduced, and we all know that the most commonly used plug-in for Stable Diffusion AI is the LoRa training model, and the Radeon 780M will have a better experience in this regard.
Another AI application test project is topaz video AI,It can also be run directly with a graphics card,Hardcore often uses it to repair some low-resolution "Cantonese fragments",Repair to1080P The viewing effect is still good,But the repair process requires a scientific Internet model,You can also go offline in advance**Good。 The common models for frame insertion repair are Apollo and Chronos, while the common models for image restoration are Proteus and Gaia, and the following is the performance difference between Radeon 780M 8GB, GTX 1050 Ti 4GB and GTX 1650 D6 4GB through the software's built-in benchmarks.
Radeon 780M 8GB input resolution of 1080p, the performance of each model.
GTX 1050 Ti 4GB input resolution of 1080p, performance across all models.
GTX 1650 D6 4GB input resolution of 1080p, the best performance of each model.
Radeon 780M is in a state of complete crushing in this AI software, in terms of frame insertion, according to the Apollo and Chronos models, the performance is more than several times ahead of the GTX series, compared to GTX 1050 Ti 4GB The maximum gap even reaches eight times (Chronos), and the image enhancement is also the gap between heaven and earth, in the Gaia model, Radeon 780M can be up to eighteen times ahead, and GTX 1050 Ti The performance gap between 4GB and GTX 1650 D6 4GB is less obvious, and the biggest constraint is 4GB of video memory. This is just a benchmark test, in practical application, some videos that are dozens of minutes long, and the results go without saying that you know who is more suitable for running AI.
Ten games were selected for the game test, four of which belong to the online game competition category, six belong to the stand-alone masterpiece category, these games are selected, and there will be a certain degree of dependence on CPU and graphics card performance, the games are all from Steam, Ubisoft Connect and Epic Games platform, all games are tested at 1080p resolution, in line with the performance positioning of these three graphics cards, game image quality settings and test methods are marked in the data chart area.
Ryzen 7 8700G (Radeon 780M 8GB), Intel Core i5 13490F+NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti, Intel Core i5 13490F+NVIDIA GTX 1650 D6, and Intel Core i7-14700K (UHD Graphics 770) running OSD information in Cyberpunk 2077.
Before the frame rate comparison, you can simply take a look at the different operating conditions of the four sets of platforms, and the CPU frequency of Ryzen 7 8700G in the game can reach 4Around 8GHz, except for the Intel Core i7-14700K platform, the other three sets of platforms have CPU+GPU power consumption of about 110W, and the temperature performance is also good.
Analyzing the results of the comparison of the frame rates of the above 10 games, the scale of UHD Graphics 770 is too far from the other three, and the best game "Dota 2" only runs to an average of 30fps, which is basically a foil for the whole process.
The Radeon 780M 8GB outperforms the GTX 1050 Ti on average, with an average 38% lead, and the biggest gap is in Cyberpunk 2077, which has a terrifying 72% lead. However, the GTX 1050 Ti can counter the Radeon 780M 8GB in CS 2, Dota 2 and Naraka: Bladepoint, which is mostly due to game optimization, while PUBG is more reliant on memory latency performance, and the Ryzen 7 8700G (Radeon 780M 8GB) will obviously perform better than the GTX 1050 Ti due to its greater reliance on memory latency.
However, there is still a significant gap between the performance of Radeon 780M 8GB and GTX 1650 D6, and the lag is roughly similar to that between Radeon 780M 8GB and GTX 1050 Ti, it is worth mentioning that in "Cyberpunk 2077" and "Tiny Tina's Wonderland", the gap between Radeon 780M 8GB and GTX 1650 D6 is not big, the reason is very simple, or the bottleneck of 4GB video memory, Radeon 780M 8GB is more capable of fighting the future, and the gap between some games can also be narrowed by overclocking, such as "Dead Island 2" and "Assassin's Creed: Valhalla", the gap is less than 15%, and the frame rate can be infinitely close after overclocking.
The Radeon 780M is built with RDNA 3 architecture and supports FSR 3 to the greatest extent0 technology, FSR 30 is based on the development of game engines (detailed analysis of motion vectors in different games), but FSR 3 is currently supportedThere are not many games with 0, only nine so far, and we can only say that FSR 30 is a significant feature of the Radeon 780M in the future, so I will not test it here, focusing on AFMF technology.
The core principle of AFMF technology is the same as FSR 3, but it can be achieved based on AMD drivers, and the versatility is better, as long as the game supports full-screen mode, it can be enabled, and RADEON 780M can perfectly turn on AFMF technology in this test. When the Ryzen 8000G is officially launched on the 31st of this month, the official version of the graphics driver can also allow the Ryzen 8000G to support AFMF technology.
AFMF tested five of the stand-alone masterpieces, Radeon 780M frame rate increased sharply after opening, and the increase in "Cyberpunk 2077" even exceeded 100%, and the average increase in the five games reached 66%, and the actual frame rate performance has tended to a high brush level, perfectly surpassing GTX 1650 D6 to achieve a turnaround against the wind, but AFMF technology is not recommended for use in online game competition.
Full text experience,Ryzen 7 8700G performance in all aspects is satisfactory,According to the new hardware**,It is very close to Intel Core i5 13490F+NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti GTX 1650 D6 platform,Ryzen 7 8700G platform The advantages of the platform are summarized in the following aspects,In general, it is inseparable from the three words "Fight the future",In line with the tonality of AMD products。
First, first of all, Ryzen 7 8700G relies on pure large core specifications and higher frequencies, its CPU performance is stronger than Core i5 13490F, and it has built-in NPU hardware developed for AI light applications, which is undoubtedly better for Windows 12 support that will be launched this year.
Second, the built-in Radeon 780M core graphics memory allocation is flexible (up to 16GB), and the AI application performance is much better than that of the GTX series, and it is obviously more suitable to choose it than the GTX series in the first year of the AI application explosion in 2024.
3. In terms of game performance, Radeon 780M can far outperform GTX 1050 Ti in most games, and as a core graphics card, 1080P resolution can run most games smoothly, and it also supports FSR 30 and AFMF, two more advanced technologies in the future, can avoid some games being blown up because the 4GB video memory is too small, and can also make its game performance equal or even better than the GTX 1650 through some means.
Fourth, finally, for DIY hardware enthusiasts, the overclocking fun of the APU is obviously more, and the performance improvement is also obvious, which is more fun than the Ryzen 8000 on the mobile side, and we will focus on it in the next article.
5. The strongest APU integration solution at present, the gospel of ITX installation enthusiasts.
Regarding**Aspect,Ryzen 7 8700G:Suggested price 2599 yuan,31 day of sale day spike***2499 yuan,Ryzen 5 8600G:Suggested price 1749 yuan,31 day of sale day spike***1699 yuan,If you need to install in the near future,The budget is in the mainstream range,Need to fight the future,Then the Ryzen 8000G platform must be very suitable for you。
