The 6-core 8500G and 4-core 8300G, on the other hand, use a smaller Phoenix die and do not include the Ryzen AI processor. The 8300G, featuring Zen4c cores, is available exclusively through OEMs and system integrators. Each SKU in the series has a default TDP of 65W and comes with integrated RDNA3 graphics, offered in variants of Radeon 780M (12CU), Radeon 760M (8CU), or Radeon 740M (4CU).

AMD compares the 8700G and 8600G models to Intel’s Core i7-14700K with its integrated UHD Graphics 770, based on the Xe-LP architecture. This comparison is notable as Intel has not released a desktop series with Alchemist integrated graphics. Performance estimates suggest the Ryzen 8600G may outperform the i7-14700K by 1.0 to 3.4 times in low-detail 1080p gaming, with the 8700G potentially achieving 1.1 to 4.0 times higher performance.

In a comparison involving the 8700G APU and a system comprising a Core i5-13400F and GeForce GTX 1650 desktop graphics card, AMD projects that their integrated solution could deliver gaming performance ranging from 0.89 to 1.31 times that of the Intel/NVIDIA system, with productivity benchmarks showing a 1.1 to 4.6 times improvement. AMD highlights the advantage of not requiring discrete graphics and lower power consumption, with precise figures to be revealed in upcoming reviews.

The Ryzen 8000G series, referred to as 'Hawk Point', encompasses various configurations, detailed as follows:

• Ryzen 7 8700G: 8C/16T, 4.2/5.1 GHz, R780M (12CU) at 2.9 GHz, 65W TDP.
• Ryzen 5 8600G: 6C/12T, 4.35/5.0 GHz, R760M (8CU) at 2.8 GHz, 65W TDP.
• Ryzen 5 8500G: 2C+4c/12T, 3.55/5.0 GHz, R740 (4CU), 65W TDP (GPU Clock TBC).
• Ryzen 3 8300G: 1C+3c/8T, 3.45/4.9 GHz, R740 (4CU), 65W TDP (GPU Clock TBC).

For comparison, the specifications of the preceding Ryzen 5000G 'Cezanne' and Ryzen 4000G 'Renoir' series are also provided, offering insights into the evolutionary improvements AMD has incorporated in its latest APU series.
