Before the official launch, upcoming AMD Ryzen 8000G series APUs such as the Ryzen 7 8700G and Ryzen 5 8600G have been spotted in Geekbench benchmark tests, revealing significant performance enhancements over their predecessors.
The AMD Ryzen 8000G series APUs, based on the Zen4 architecture, have started to show their potential in Geekbench databases. Two chips, the Ryzen 7 8700G and Ryzen 5 8600G, have stood out with their benchmark scores, providing a glimpse into their capabilities. The Ryzen 5 8500G has not appeared in the benchmarks yet but is expected soon.
In the Geekbench listings, the Ryzen 7 8700G achieved impressive results with 2720 points in single-core and 14326 in multi-core tests. This represents a substantial leap in performance compared to the Ryzen 7 5700G, which scored 1981 and 8737 in the same tests respectively. Similarly, the Ryzen 5 8600G registered 2474 points in single-core and 11453 points in multi-core tests, outperforming its predecessor, the Ryzen 5 5600G, which scored 1917 and 7662.
The Ryzen 7 8700G stands out with the highest clock speed ever reached by an AMD desktop APU, turbo clocking at 5.1 GHz. The Ryzen 5 8600G is not far behind with a turbo frequency of 5.0 GHz. Despite having two fewer Zen4 cores than the 8700G, its performance is relatively strong, as reflected in the scores.
It is important to note that the Ryzen 7 8700G was tested using Geekbench 6.2, whereas the Ryzen 5 8600G was benchmarked on version 6.0, which may affect direct comparisons. However, these early benchmarks are promising, and more results are expected as the launch date for the new Ryzen 8000G series APUs draws near.
While waiting for the official release, tech enthusiasts can consider the GIGABYTE B650M AORUS Elite AM5 motherboard, which is available on Amazon, as a potential pairing for these upcoming APUs.
The Geekbench scores for the new Ryzen 8000G APUs indicate a significant performance boost, which is exciting news for those looking to build or upgrade their systems with the latest AMD hardware. As more benchmark results become available, consumers will gain a clearer picture of the full capabilities of these new processors.
