AMD Ryzen 8000G Series Desktop Processors
The AMD “Zen 4” architecture serves as the foundation for the 8000G Series CPUs. The all-in-one desktop processor is said to deliver powerful performance for demanding tasks like gaming and content creation.
There are two processors under the series: The AMD Ryzen 7 8700G has 16 threads, 8 cores, and 24MB of cache. The processor is paired with Radeon 780M graphics. On the other hand, AMD Ryzen 5 8600G has six cores, twelve threads, 22MB of cache, and Radeon 760M graphics. Both the desktop processors include AMD Ryzen AI technology, including the first NPU on a desktop PC processor. This technology is specially designed to accelerate your computer’s ability to run AI software, optimize AI workloads, improve AI processing efficiencies, and unlock exciting experiences like AI-powered noise cancellation.
The Radeon 700M graphics allows impressive visual fidelity, providing a smooth AAA 1080p gaming experience at an affordable price point, and in small form factors.
In addition to this, there is AMD EXPO technology on both the processors allowing for greater 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.
As per the company AMD Ryzen 8000G Series desktop processors are expected to be available to DIY customers, SI partners starting January 31st, 2024. OEM systems are expected to arrive in Q2 2024.
