AMD at CES poised the Ryzen 8000G Series as their ultimate all-in-one desktop processor this side of the year. Featuring up to eight cores and 16 threads, AMD urged users to expect dominant performance for intensive workloads including gaming and content creation.
These processors are reportedly optimized for efficiency with low power draw but don’t sacrifice performance or responsiveness. Built on top of AMD “Zen 4” architecture, the 8000G Series processors enable leadership energy efficiency while still leveraging the incredible speed of “Zen 4”.
At the top of the stack, AMD Ryzen 7 8700G features eight cores, 16 threads, 24 MB of Cache, and Radeon 780M graphics. Meanwhile, AMD Ryzen 5 8600G offer six cores, 12 threads, 22 MB of Cache, and Radeon 760M graphics. Both include AMD Ryzen AI technology, including the first NPU on a desktop PC processor, uniquely able to accelerate AI software capabilities in your PC to optimize AI workloads, improve AI processing efficiencies, and unlock exciting experiences like AI-powered noise cancellation.
All 8000G Series desktop processor models offer the fastest built-in graphics in its class with the impressive power of Radeon 700M. Gamers will benefit from impressive visual fidelity, providing a smooth AAA 1080p gaming experience at an affordable price point, and in small form factors. The Ryzen 7 8700G features Radeon 780M graphics with the fastest built-in graphics you can get in a desktop processor. The 8000G Series is perfect for those wanting a smooth 1080p experience today, with the option to upgrade with a discrete graphics card later for even higher fidelity gameplay.
The entire 8000G Series also features AMD EXPO technology, enabling higher memory frequencies and advanced timings to unlock smoother frame rates. Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) allows one-touch overclocking, giving users an extra CPU boost with increased power limits.
