Supposed benchmarks of the future AMD Ryzen 8600G processor show that its integrated graphics chip is more powerful than a dedicated graphics card still widely used today, especially by gamers.
When it’s about manage the graphics part of a programour computers have two solutions: relying on the graphics chip integrated into the processor or motherboardor take advantage of the power of a dedicated card. It is very often towards the second solution that we turn if we want to run resource-intensive software or video games with slightly advanced graphics. But sometimes the choice is made for us without us having a say. The most obvious example is that of Laptops. If you want it to be thin and light, forget the graphics card.
At the manufacturer AMDthere G processor line has the characteristic of always pair CPU and GPU (the graphics chip), while trying to ensure that the latter is as powerful as possible. According to the latest information, AMD should present the new Ryzen 8000G processors At CES 2024, a major Tech show, on January 9 of this year. A leak already gives us the performance of the future AMD Ryzen 8600Gand more particularly those of its integrated graphics processor Radeon 760M. The results are encouraging.
AMD’s Next Integrated GPU Is More Powerful Than This Known Dedicated Card
Made on Geekbench 6the scores are divided into two tests: Vulkan And OpenCL. On the first, more suited to AMD components, the processor obtains 30,770 points. On the second, 24,842. To put these figures into perspective, those of the Nvidia 1060 dedicated graphics card are respectively 30,186 And 34,507. There graphics chip of the AMD Ryzen 8600G processor would therefore be better than the GTX 1060 using Vulkan. It might seem strange to use a product released in 2016 as a comparison, but not so much in the end.

Despite its almost 8 years of existence, the Nvidia GTX 1060 is the 3rd most used graphics card by gamers according to the latest figures from the platform Steam. It therefore remains a reference in the field, and even allows the future game Prince of Persia The Lost Crown to run in 4K 60 FPS. If the benchmarks prove real, the AMD Ryzen 8600G processor could be a good alternative for those who want to play in good conditions without breaking the bank. Its expected price would be between 215 and 260 €.
