Ultra-Fast Desktop CPUs

The Ryzen 5 8600G is one of the upcoming desktop APUs from AMD, based on the 4 nm "Phoenix" monolithic silicon. It features 6 "Zen 4" CPU cores and a Radeon 760M iGPU with 8 compute units, based on the RDNA 3 architecture. The APU can run at a base frequency of 4.35 GHz and a boost frequency of 5.00 GHz for the CPU, and 2.60 GHz for the GPU. The Ryzen 5 8600G is expected to offer impressive performance in both CPU and GPU tasks, as shown by the leaked benchmarks on Geekbench 6.

The Ryzen 5 8600G will be compatible with the Socket AM5 platform, which will support the DDR5 memory standard and the PCIe 5.0 interface. The APU will have a TDP of 65 W, with a possible 90 W PPT option. The launch date and the pricing of the APU are not yet confirmed, but it is likely to be announced at CES 2024, along with the rest of the Ryzen 8000G series. The Ryzen 5 8600G will compete with Intel’s 12th Gen Core "Alder Lake" processors, which also feature a hybrid core architecture and an integrated Xe graphics engine.
