teaser
 Two weeks ago Intel introduced the Core i9-14900KS, it became the first processor to achieve a boost clock of 6.2GHz on two cores without requiring overclocking. The Raptor Lake-based CPU, akin to its predecessor the i9-14900K, features a 24-core configuration, comprising 8 performance cores (P-cores) and 16 efficiency cores (E-cores), capable of handling up to 32 threads. It's a beast alright, but not without compromises.

 In this review, we'll delve into the Ryzen 7 8700G, a $329 processor that comes equipped with the AMD Radeon 760M integrated graphics processor. This release introduces the first 8000 series for the AM5 socket, although it's important to note that these processors are essentially Zen4/RDNA3 mobile chips repurposed for desktop use. In the 8000G series, AMD has seamlessly combined their latest CPU and GPU architectures, merging Zen4/Zen4c and RDNA3 graphics capabilities. Notably, select models within this series, such as the 8-core Ryzen 7 8700G and 6-core Ryzen 5 8600G, include the XDNA1 Ryzen AI accelerator, offering enhanced performance.
