The AMD Ryzen 7 8700G is the top Hawk Point APU, featuring 8 cores, 16 threads, 16 MB of L3, and 8 MB of L2 cache. This chip has a base clock of 4.2 GHz and a boost clock of 5.1 GHz and has a TDP of 65W. The chip features the Radeon 780M iGPU with 12 compute units clocked at 2900 MHz, the fastest clock yet on an RDNA 3 integrated graphics chip. The APU will be priced at $329 US.

Moving on, we have the AMD Ryzen 5 8600G which is a 6-core and 12-thread APU with 16 MB of L3 and 6 MB of L2 cache. This chip has a base clock of 4.3 GHz and a boost clock of 5.0 GHz with the same 65W TDP. The GPU is a Radeon 760M iGPU with 8 compute units clocked at 2800 MHz. The APU will be priced at $229 US.

The benchmarks were tested on two individual platforms. The AMD Ryzen 7 8700G APU system featured an ASUS ROG STRIX B650-A Gaming WIFI motherboard with 32 GB DDR5-6400 memory while the AMD Ryzen 5 8600G APU system featured an MSI B650 Gaming Plus WIFI motherboard with DDR5-6400 memory. The benchmark results can be seen below:

Geekbench 6 (Higher is Better)

In terms of performance, the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G offers a massive 64% boost in multi-core and 37% boost in single-core performance versus its predecessor the Ryzen 5 5700G while the Ryzen 5 8600G offers a 50% boost in multi-threaded and 29% boost in single-threaded performance versus its predecessor, the Ryzen 5 5600G. Both CPUs are around 5-10% slower in single and multi-core test results against the standard Ryzen 7000X Desktop CPUs but that should be a given since those run at much higher frequencies and support higher TDPs too.

The Ryzen 8000G APUs will also be outfitted with the world's fastest integrated graphics solution, the RDNA-based Radeon 700M series which will enable gamers to play their favorite AAA games at 1080p resolutions with performance equivalent to a GTX 1060 or GTX 1650 GPU without needing a discrete graphics card. They will also be the first desktop APUs to come packed with an NPU. AMD has recommended DDR5-6000 as the sweet spot for Ryzen 8000G APUs on desktops.
