THE processors AMD Ryzen 8000G arrives on January 31, but a few leaks offer a very positive first look at their performance.
Announced for months, expected for a little longer, the Ryzen 8000G were only officially presented by AMD at CES 2024 in Las Vegas.
Since then, however, things have changed. Between recommendations around dual-channel DDR5-6000 and performance estimates, things are moving while the release is planned in a little over a week.
Zen 4c cores up to 3.7 GHz
Other chips will perhaps complete the range, but on January 31, there is only question of four Ryzen 8000G and even then, the Ryzen 7 8700G, Ryzen 5 8600G and Ryzen 5 8500G are the only ones considered by our resellers.

The fourth thief – the Ryzen 3 8300G – is initially only designed for integrators. It is also the latter which is at the origin of a new precision. Indeed, with the Ryzen 5 8500G, it shares the specificity of combining Zen 4 and Zen 4c cores. Smaller, the latter are more sober than their big brother, but cannot go as high in frequency.
Precisely, these are the maximum frequencies of these Zen 4c cores that AMD has just revealed on the pages of its chips. We are therefore talking about a maximum of 3.7 GHz when the Zen 4 cores can reach 5 GHz in the case of the Ryzen 5 8500G and 3.6 GHz / 4.9 GHz on the Ryzen 3 8300G.
30% better than the Ryzen 7 5700G?
The other news of the day concerning the Ryzen 8000G allows us to know a little more about the expected performance for these chips even if we will of course have to wait for real tests for something more complete.
For now, these are performances recorded with the Geekbench V6 tool in single-core and multi-core. In either case, the gap with previous APUs – the Ryzen 5000G – is impressive as we can see below. The Ryzen 7 8700G achieves 96% of the single-core performance of the Ryzen 7 7700 while the Ryzen 7 5700G is satisfied with 70%.
In multi-core, it is even more remarkable with a Ryzen 7 8700G which achieves 98% of the performance of the Ryzen 7 7700 while the Ryzen 7 5700G is only at 59%… and the Ryzen 5 8600G is not not bad either since it also does much better than the Ryzen 7 5700G (87% and 78% of the performance of the Ryzen 7 7700).
Remember that, according to AMD, the graphics solution integrated into the Ryzen 7 8700G should also make it possible to achieve the gaming performance of a GeForce GTX 1650. But we will check all of that very soon.
