New performance results of AMD's upcoming Ryzen 7 8700G, Ryzen 5 8600G & Ryzen 5 8500G APUs have been spotted in various benchmark leaks.
The AMD Ryzen 8000G APU family codenamed Hawk Point launches next week and brings with it a brand new CPU and GPU architecture on the APU front. The last APUs released by AMD were on the older AM4 platform and part of the Ryzen 5000G family which featured Zen 3 CPU cores & the Vega GPU core. For Hawk Point, AMD is upgrading directly to the brand new Zen 4 CPU and RDNA 3 GPU architecture which brings a huge boost in performance on the latest AM5 platforms that carry DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 functionality.
The benchmarks of the DIY trio, the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G, Ryzen 5 8600G, & Ryzen 5 8500G have now been spotted in the PassMark software database. The Ryzen 7 8700G scores 32117 points in multi-threaded, the Ryzen 5 8600G scores 25967 points while the Ryzen 5 8500G scores 21796 in the same tests.
If you look at the performance figures, the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G APU is around 11% slower than the Ryzen 7 7700X but that should be expected given its lower clock speeds and lower TDP design. The Ryzen 5 8600G offers around the same performance as the Ryzen 5 7600X while the Ryzen 5 8500G is around 16% slower once again due to its lower clock speeds. Meanwhile, the Ryzen 7 8700G APU will offer up to a 30% boost over the 5700G while the Ryzen 5 8600G APUs will also offer a 30% core performance boost over its predecessor, the 5600G.
We also have a test result within CPU-z for the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G which has been leaked out and spotted by Momomo_US. This test gives us a taste of both the single and multi-core performance of the chip. In single-core, the CPU scores 675 points while in multi-core, it scores 7318 points. The single-core performance takes a hit over the Ryzen 7000X CPUs but it still retains good multi-thread performance and offers a 10% average boost in this specific test.
We have also seen other benchmarks where the AMD Ryzen 8000G APUs are over 60% faster than the Ryzen 5000G chips. The Ryzen 8000G APUs do have some limitations when it comes to PCIe 4.0

Time and again, Apple Watches have come to the rescue of their owners. The addition of atrial fibrillation (AFib) detection to the Apple Watch several years ago has proven to be a blessing for innumerable users, with its life-saving capabilities documented in multiple wonderful anecdotes. Among these stories, one stands out from the little town of Summerville, South Carolina, where Jeff and Ellen Priest's lives were forever changed by the timely intervention of their Apple Watch.
As we advance into 2024, the launch date for Apple's iPhone 16 series nears. The iPhone maker introduced notable upgrades last year with its iPhone 15 series, bringing USB Type-C and Dynamic Island across all models. Even though the launch is months away, the latest leaks shed light on a few interesting updates that this year's iPhone 16 series is in line to receive.
The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU is now available as an incredible motherboard & DDR5 memory combo package for $450 at US retailer, Microcenter.
Intel's upcoming flagship Core i9-14900KS Limited Edition CPU has leaked out within OCCT and it's an insane beast in all regards.
AMD's 3D V-Cache chips are some of the best gaming processors on the market and the Ryzen 7 5800X3D CPU is currently available for just $319 US with a B450 motherboard, making it a great deal for mainstream PC builders.
AMD's Ryzen 7 8700G APU has been delidded by hardware expert, Der8auer, showcasing its die & also a huge reduction in temps.
Following the release of the Ryzen 8000G series of processors, both AMD and various motherboard manufacturers released a BIOS update to consumers that should fix a performance issue specific to those APUs. AMD users with an APU such as Ryzen 5 8600G or Ryzen 7 8700G should update their motherboard BIOS to ensure better performance.
AMD's Ryzen 8000G Desktop APUs feature the fastest iGPU on the planet but SkatterBencher has made this RDNA 3 chip even faster through manual overclocking, gaining an impressive graphics performance uplift of over 60% with an outrageous amount of power.
When we talk about extreme overclocking and breaking world records with the latest CPUs, we almost entirely expect it to be achieved on a flagship or high-end motherboard that costs several hundred dollars but what if an entry-level motherboard were to set world records using one of the fastest multi-threaded CPUs on the consumer segment? Well, ASRock has achieved just that with its $110 US B650 motherboard.
ASRock has stated in an interview with QuasarZone that while making NVIDIA GPUs will be difficult for the company, it isn't entirely impossible.
Specializing in publishing indie games, South Korean game developer SuperPlanet recently announced that Boomerang RPG: Watch Out, Dude! is now available for pre-registration. Demons are attacking out of nowhere and it’s up to Dude (yes, that’s his name) to stop them. Though only fighting with boomerangs, he can use four very special boomerangs: Rotating, Penetrating, Elastic, and Clone. The Elastic one allows him to attack more enemies using its elastic properties, for example. Half the fun in Boomerang RPG: Watch Out, Dude! is watching the boomerangs fly at enemies and damaging them. Additionally, Dude can learn about the demons to find their weaknesses and take them out faster.
