AMD Unveils Ryzen 8000G Series Processors: Zen 4 APUs For Desktop with Ryzen AI

The latest line-up of APUs with Zen 4 cores and upgraded Radeon integrated graphics consists of four new SKUs, with the Ryzen 7 8700G leading the charge with 8 CPU cores and AMD's RDNA3-based Radeon 780M graphics.
Other less demanding titles, such as F1 2022, Dota 2, and League of Legends, average over 100 fps, which shows that the combination of Phoenix based Zen 4 cores and the Radeon 780M graphics offers a pathway to gaming on desktop for $379. So in all-core turbo scenarios, which these desktop chips are better positioned to hit and sustain due to their relatively high TDPs, the use of Zen 4c cores is likely to have a greater impact than we've seen with AMD's mobile parts. As the Ryzen 3 8300G is a 4C/8T chip (fundamentally), it only comes with 8 MB of L3 cache, which isn't ideal for gaming and would be more suitable for an entry-level system with a decent enough iGPU to handle basic tasks without a discrete graphics card; this seems to be its biggest selling point on paper.
