With the blessing of RDAN3 core graphics, Ryzen 8000G has become the new king of mini game consoles
The RDNA3-based Radeon 700M series GPUs are impressive on the Ryzen 7040, and the latest Windows gaming consoles on the market are equipped with AMD processors with built-in Radeon 700M GPUs. And now it has come to the Ryzen 8000G desktop processor, and with the powerful Zen4 processing cores and higher TDP settings, it will naturally burst out with more powerful performance.
Judging from AMD's official data, with the support of the AMD HYPER RX & AFMF function provided by the driver, the built-in Radeon 780M core graphics of Ryzen 7 8700G can even make the latest large-scale 3A games easily maintain an average frame rate of more than 60fps at FHD resolution, and some masterpieces have even reached more than 90fps, which has reached a very smooth level.
Even without AFMF enabled, the Ryzen 7 8700G can make most of the biggest games reach an average frame rate of more than 60fps at FHD resolution, and even hundreds of frames in some e-sports games, and the smoothness is completely comparable to that of a PC equipped with a 1,000-yuan independent graphics card. It can be seen that once the power limit is raised to a higher level, the potential of the Radeon 780M is also very impressive, and it is indeed more than enough to meet the needs of daily gaming entertainment.
In addition, Ryzen 8000G with independent graphics is also no bottleneck, after all, it is also equipped with Zen4 architecture, and the game performance is already very strong. Judging from the actual measurements, the Ryzen 7 8700G with a flagship graphics card such as the Radeon RX 7900 XTX can also give full play to the performance without affecting the performance output of the graphics card.
If you compare the core game performance with competing products, you can see from the official data that the more games that eat GPU performance, the more obvious the advantages of Ryzen 8000G, in the HITMAN3, the average frame rate of Ryzen 7 8700G has reached four times that of Core i9 14900K, and even Ryzen 5 8600G has reached 3.4 times that of Core i9 14900K.
In terms of nuclear graphics, AMD actually has no real opponents, so we can use the Ryzen 8000G built-in Radeon 780M and the thousand-yuan independent graphics card to break the wrist. From the official comparison data, it can be seen that the Ryzen 7 8700G+Radeon 780M core graphics card has played back and forth with the Core i5 13400F + GTX1650 independent graphics card in the 6 games tested, of which the Radeon 780M leads the three games and the advantage is even more than 20%. You must know that the price of Ryzen 7 8700G is obviously much lower than that of the Core i5 13400F + GTX1650, and the cost-effective advantage is self-evident.
In addition to gaming, the Ryzen 7 8700G is also very strong in terms of productivity. From the comparison data, it can be seen that among many mainstream productivity tools, Ryzen 7 8700G has certain advantages over the Core i5 13400F + GTX1650, and the biggest advantage is even as high as 360% in multi-threaded applications.
The currently released Ryzen 8000G series consists of four models, all of which are 65W TDP. The highest-end is the Ryzen 7 8700G, which has 8 cores and 16 threads, a maximum boost frequency of 5.1GHz, 16MB L3 cache, and a built-in Radeon 780M (12CU) GPU. The secondary flagship is Ryzen 5 8600G, with 6 cores and 12 threads, a maximum boost frequency of 5GHz, 16MB L3 cache, and a built-in Radeon 760M (8CU) core graphics. Next is the Ryzen 5 8500G, which is also a 6-core and 12-thread specification, and the highest boost frequency is also 5GHz, but the core graphics become Radeon 740M (4CU). Finally, there is Ryzen 3 8300G, 4 cores and 8 threads, the highest boost frequency of 4.9GHz, 8MB L3 cache, and the core graphics are also Radeon 740M (4CU). Of the four models, the Ryzen 3 8300G is exclusive to system integrators and will be available by the end of the first quarter of 2024, while the other three will go on sale on January 31.
One More Thing！AMD没有忘记AM4老用户
As is customary, the AM5 platform has been on the market for more than a year, and it is understandable that AMD will abandon the six-year-old AM4 platform. But to the surprise of old AMD users, this time AMD actually released a wave of new processors for the AM4 platform Ryzen 5000 series, so that old players can continue to fight without changing the motherboard, upgrading the processor!
