The new generation of APU processors from AMD is revealed a little more with the release scheduled for early next year.
The world of desktop processors is rather calm at the moment. Of course, Intel unveiled its new Meteor Lake architecture mid-week, but this only concerns laptops.
So, obviously, when leaks allow us to learn a little more about the Hawk Point range planned by AMD, ears perk up. It must be said that these 8000G APUs have more than one advantage to show off.
At least six references… maybe more?
Surprisingly, however, AMD did not deign to mention these Ryzen during its December 6 event, “ Advancing AI “. No, if we have details about these chips, it is thanks to AMD partners.
Relayed by our colleagues from VideoCardz, manufacturers ASRock and ASUS have indeed indulged in some confidences. For the second, it was simply the update of a page dedicated to support for AMD processors which revealed the complete list of chips considered by Lisa Su’s company.
A complete list which also allows you to have confirmation of certain technical data such as operating frequencies, the number of Zen 4 cores, the on-board cache and the TDP. Ryzen 3 8300G, Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G, Ryzen 5 8500G, Ryzen 5 PRO 8500G, Ryzen 5 8600G and Ryzen 7 8700G are thus mentioned.
Radeon 780M with 12 compute units
In the “leak” genre, that of ASRock is not bad either since it is a CPU-Z capture of a Ryzen 7 8700G which has been published. It was of course not a question of spoiling AMD’s surprise, but rather of mentioning support for 256 GB of DDR5 on certain motherboards.
We are talking to you about this new announcement from ASRock and MSI in this news, but what interests us now is all the technical data displayed by CPU-Z about this Ryzen 7 8700G. A racing beast with 8 Zen 4 cores running at 4.2 GHz.
Direct successor to the Ryzen 7 5700G that we really appreciated at Clubicthis newcomer will therefore be entitled to 16 threads and will offer a shared third-level cache of 16 MB. The GPU part will be entrusted to a Radeon 780M equipped with 12 RDNA 3 calculation units. There also seems to be a boost frequency up to 5.1 GHz.
Behind, the Ryzen 5 8600G will make do with 6 Zen 4 cores at 4.35 GHz base and 5 GHz boost. The integrated graphics should, however, be the same as on the 8700G or equipped with at least 8 calculation units: a clear contrast to that of the 8300G and 8500G, limited to 4 calculation units.
The processor market is among the most dynamic in the world of tech, but also the most extensive. AMD/Intel references are numerous and often updated. It’s not easy to find your way in such a jungle: our selection should help you.
