The Ryzen 8000G series, leveraging the Zen 4 architecture, represents a significant advancement in desktop computing. Preliminary information suggests these APUs will incorporate Phoenix and Phoenix 2 silicon, similar to AMD's mobile CPU designs. They are expected to feature an RDNA 3 GPU and an XDNA/XDNA2 Neural Processing Unit (NPU), enhancing artificial intelligence processing capabilities at the hardware level.

The Ryzen 8000G APU lineup reportedly includes four models: Ryzen 7 8700G, Ryzen 5 8600G, Ryzen 5 8500G, and Ryzen 3 8300G. The Ryzen 7 8700G is configured with eight Zen 4 cores and a Radeon 780M iGPU with 12 CUs, while the Ryzen 5 8600G includes six Zen 4 cores and a 760M iGPU with 8 CUs. The Ryzen 5 8500G and Ryzen 3 8300G utilize Phoenix 2 silicon with a hybrid core design combining Zen 4 and Zen 4c cores. The 8500G is expected to feature two Zen 4 cores and four Zen 4c cores, and the 8300G one Zen 4 core and three Zen 4c cores, both with the Radeon 740M iGPU including 4 CUs.

The formal introduction of these APUs is anticipated at CES 2024, which is scheduled from January 9th to January 12th.
