AMD Ryzen 5 8600G to Come with Radeon 760M Graphics, 8 Cores, and Up to 5.00 GHz CPU Overboost

The Radeon 760M integrated graphics, rather than the full iGPU arrangement found on silicon or the previously thought Radeon 780M, will be available on AMD’s next Ryzen 5 8600G Socket AM5 desktop APU. As of right now, there are still differing reports regarding the precise silicon that the Ryzen 8000G desktop APUs are based on. Geekbench and some older reports identify 8600G engineering samples as being based on “Phoenix,” while some more recent reports put it on “Hawk Point.” “Hawk Point” and “Phoenix” are almost the same, with the exception that the latter has a faster NPU.

Based on the “Zen 4” microarchitecture, the Ryzen 5 8600G is outfitted with a 6-core/12-thread CPU, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. With a maximum CPU boost frequency of 5.00 GHz, the CPU base frequency is set to a safe 4.35 GHz. The mobile Ryzen 5 7640H, which has a base frequency of 4.30 GHz and a 5.00 GHz boost, and these CPU frequencies are pretty similar. However, the 8600G’s 65 W TDP and potential 90 W PPT might aid with boost frequency residency. With eight of the twelve RDNA3 compute units physically present on silicon, the Radeon 760M is able to produce 512 stream processors. GPU clock (engine clock) measured by Geekbench is 2.80 GHz, while Radeon 760M on Ryzen 5 7640H runs at 2.60 GHz. With 32 GB of dual-channel DDR5-6000 memory, the MSI MEG X670E Ace motherboard powered the 8600G ES.
