So and as is usually the case, the price of the new AMD Ryzen 8000G processors has been leaked on the Internet, and it comes from one of the runaways the most famous for their enormous success rate, so much so that we can almost call these awards good and definitive. However, as always, we must warn you that this information is not official and therefore may not come true.
The price of the new AMD Ryzen 8000G processors
The Ryzen 8000G series APUs should not really represent a major step forward from the processors that AMD already offers on the market, because for starters, they would use the same cores based on the Zen 4 architecture but with a new design. ‘I/O with monolithic. matrix. With all leak claims to have obtained official sale prices from three different stores and for three of these processors, using the Ryzen 5 7600 as a reference point in all cases.
| Store 1 (dollars) | Store 2 (dollars) | Store 3 (dollars) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7600 | 250 | 290 | 250 |
| 8700G | 340 | 440 | 390 |
| 8600G | 240 | 310 | 280 |
| 5700X3D | 260 | 340 | 330 |
| 5700 | 180 | – | – |
| 5600GT | 150 | 200 | 180 |
| 5500GT | 130 | 180 | 160 |
One thing that must be taken into account is that from what it seems, looking at the data provided, these three stores sell the processors at prices higher than those that can be found on Amazon, and in fact you can see that there is a fairly significant difference in prices, especially in store 2 which are much more expensive than the other two.
So the AMD Ryzen 5 8500G, for example, has a price range that goes from $190 to $240, followed by the Ryzen 5 8600G, which ranges between $240 and $310. Finally, the Ryzen 7 8700G is said to cost between $340 and $440 (as you can see, a $100 difference between stores is outrageous).
As you can see, the price range is too wide to draw conclusions about what the suggested retail price (MSRP/MSRP) will be.
Ryzen 8700G performance also leaked
Of the three Ryzen 8000G chips that AMD will launch in the coming weeks, the 8700G is the biggest of them in terms of performance, and as usual, it’s already in the hands of some hardware analysts and its performance was quick to appear. improve. As usual, it was in the Geekbench benchmark, and if you are not careful when doing the benchmark, the result is automatically uploaded to its public database, which everyone has access to.
Here we can perfectly see that we are dealing with an APU that integrates 8 cores and 16 process threads at a base speed of 4.2 GHz (it will reach 5.1 GHz Turbo), with 16 MB of L3 cache and 8 MB of L2 cache. It is an APU, so its iGPU is also an important element and in this case it mounts a Radeon 780M, with an RDNA 3 architecture and integrating 12 CUs at 3 GHz.
In terms of performance, just consult the Geekbench database to compare the result obtained with that of other processors, and in this case this chip would be comparable to a Ryzen 9 7940HS laptop, which isn’t bad at all to be honest. We’ll see once they hit the streets what happens, what price they have and how they behave, but the truth is that things don’t look too bad for Lisa Su with this launch, especially because , as you already know, whoever wants to upgrade will not force you to change cards or RAM if you already have an AM5 platform.
