The question – will single stick of DDR5 of 32Gb or 16Gb work fine ? Or Do I need to have two sticks – planning to use ITX board with 8600G….
Please, Test 5600 vs 8600G. What will be better, 2X cache, or Newer architecture? Ryzen 5 5600G wins over 3600 in almost all tests, so I want to see if it persists with 5600 vs 8600G
Wishing for a mega super powerful CPU with 100Ghz single core performance.
Tens of thousands spaceships fight near Jupiter, it would be wholesome! Most games suffer from cpu bottleneck, gpu runs under 40%, only used 8gb of 32gb gpu memory, but the FPS is LOL.
so..Ryzen 7 8700G 3D might just get there 🙂 if they ever make it.
Hi Steve, great video. For small form factor build where no discrete gpu is planned (minimal gaming and more productivity) can this cpu run dual 4k monitors @60hz HDR? Weighing up if the cost is worth it. AMD couldnt provide a clear answer if this wpuld run 2 monitors 4k hdr @60hz..
but 8700G is still expensive
I don’t get AMD’s APU strategy. This APU has their best iGPU but their top of the line 7945HX doesn’t.
This CPU is for traders or freelancers that need small cases without video cards, I think 🤔
incresing the v-ram of the igpu of ryzen 7 8700g to 8 gb gives it a huge poerformence boost
you should defenitly try this… it was a boom.
You are si biased just showing the integrated graphics card without the fsr and all the technologies it can handle with boost fps
Back in my day we got 25 fps in Minecraft on igpus and we LIKED it
Guys i want to buy a gpu later so i want a cpu that can daily me like mails , yt , netflix and casual usage so is it a good idea to go with r7 8700g+ a 4070 ti super later after pocketing some cash or get my r5 7600+ 4070 super…i want to have r7 8700g now and buy a 4070 ti super when it reduce a bit in price…for the 16gb vram…
Try 8600g they are similar in gaming but difference in price is big
The fact it can run new games at above 30 in 1080p is beyond impressive. I mean I am considering an APU down the line in a budget PC that I maybe sometimes use for minecraft or lol.
cant wait for AMD 128700G to replace 3060ti
When it comes to passively cooling, for a silent PC, it makes perfect sense. Why not include these systems, in your reviews ? Kind regards Jesper
Next gen Ryzen APU challenge gonna be gaming on native 4k 120fps ray tracing 65w tdp. It'll render Rtx 4090 obsolete and useless. 🥲
i3-12100F + RX 6600 might be a somewhat poor match, but with AM5 platform costs + DDR5 costs, you could probably afford R5 5600 + RX 6600 for less total cost, and that would beat the R7 8700G fair and square. That still didn't stop me from buying the 8700G for a mini PC project, and now I'm about to return it, because I ran into Velka 3 case …
Mini pc maybe
So, if they reduce the orice by a hundred dollars it would make sense? So same gpu performce with 8600 series cpu with either higher cache and 7600 price or 16mb cache with a lot lower price would work
Small form factor pcs are going to be more desirable now thanks to better igpu.
So, with APUs realistically never going to be a replacement for decent entry level gaming GPUs and both AMD+Nvidia not being interested in providing any of those GPUS anymore:
– The 6500XT as a laptop chip was a downgrade from its predecessor and only released as an emergency solution to then market shortage
– The RTX 3050/6GB is barely better and mainly viable for 75W TDP niche (no power connector required, passive models possible)
– The RX 6600 only fell long-term to just about 200 bucks (MSRP over 300 bucks on release)
– The RTX 3050 /8GB already outpriced this segment as well (no 4050 and 5050 listed whatsoever)
– No 7500XT either, which also means a whopping TDP 165W card may remain AMD's smallest RDNA3 desktop GPU (let that sink in)
Are people who bought in the HD 6670/6850, GTS 250 and later on HD 460/470, 560/570, GTX 750ti, 1050/ti, 1060/3GB and GTX 1650 price range gonna switch to consoles for good? With AMD big on consoles and Nvidia on AI, they wouldn't care much either.
Big market gap detected.
I wouldn't use something like this to game, but I wonder how many security camera RTSP feeds it could handle?
I wish that if you had a high end graphics card like a 4090, the APU could be used to boost performance.
We need a Ryzen 9 version
PLEASE test again after Windows Update 24H2 (vs Intel too). THX!!!
I always wanted to build a good enough for 1080p mini itx pc using an APU but the parts always come out twice the price of mATX and half the power
I'm building a x600 mini with the 8700g. It looks promising for sure.
You need to take out the 14700K from this test.
I got the 8700g for 250.00, i want to use with a InWin B1 Case for Sport, Fight, Race-Games as also for emulator-games on a FHD-Monitor. I have a second PC with a RTX 4070 Super with a 38" Alienware-Monitor for newer games. So for me, was the "best" option to go for a console-type pc, without having to get a console 🙂
I think I'm sticking with the AM4 platform. AM5 just doesn't seem worth it to me.
that thing is faster than my i9 10900 cpu lol.
The only use case for the R7 8700G I can think of (and is stuck in this particular situation right now), is when your main system dropped dead and you need a mini PC brick to haul you over an entire week without a proper PC.
Sure, I can use my laptop to complete about 80% of the normal daily task I usually do, but that 20% you can't do with a laptop is why I have a PC in the first place.
This really makes me think about whether or not I should be building a in-between plug-in-and-use mini PC to bridge the gap when I'm faced with a dead system.
Definitely a bit different this time around compared to the 5700G. The main CPUs (5950x, 5600x, 5800X3D) of that generation did not come with any iGPU. The 5700G also was priced appropriately in the product stack based on core count. It fared much better in value comparisons at the time. It also overclocks well being a mobile based design. Put it in a 5800x compatible motherboard (140A EDC) and crank it up in the BIOS from the 5700Gs stock 90A EDC and let it eat! The memory controller also allows for great ram speeds.
This CPU needs to be cheaper, and everyone will be building tiny builds. ITX.
Cant wait what 9700G will Bring
APU should not exist on a Ryzen 7 system, its way too expensive
AMD should release a 4c8t + 780M at the price of 7500F instead
I bought a 5700G and never regretted it. It allowed me to get the build up and running and buy a GPU almost a year later when the games I wanted to play were too much for it and GPU prices had come down considerably. I eventually paired it with an RX 6750 XT, and the system is great.
Given that the 8700G is twice as powerful I would definitely consider it, and then just buy an appropriate GPU when you need one and find a good deal.
This APU after an undervolting would be a beast inside a handheld gaming system.
Now give us a 9700g with zen 6, and 24 RDNA 3.5 CUs…. 105 or 120 tdp. That would rip!!!
I'm considering it instead of a laptop for gaming in a camper van. I just wish idle power were lower, tho. Could undervolt/clock tho.
What DOES NOT make sense it this entire review …
Paring an APU with a GPU is pointless, the reason that you buy an APU is so that you DON''T NEED A (discrete) GPU !
If you're going to buy a GPU, match it with the appropriate CPU !
It's sad the "Hardware Unboxed" is GAMING FOCUSED … and NOT HARDWARE FOCUSED !
EVERYTHING seems to be GAMING, GAMING, GAMING … and NOT SERVER FOCUSED (or even once in a while)?
I have THREE SERVERS and ONE gaming rig … that's 3:1 ratio.
How would this HARDWARE perform in a SERVER, or a NON-GAMING machine ?
THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO KNOW !!!
Let's be clear, not all of us have the time to game all day long, we are not 15 in our parents basement, we have work to do.
I spend 90% of my time NOT GAMING !
Expand your reviews to cover a broader spectrum, and less gaming !?
I guess it's decent only for Ultra Mini ITX where there is no space for a GPU… and even at that it's best to wait for that price to drop.
Ultra mini ITX as a TV PC. But for a TV PC, an old 100$ HP SFF I7-6700 with a 1050Ti or SFF RTX 3050 will do the trick.
high priced.. with same amounth of money you can get cpu and gpu without changing all the system with better game performance
what about for older games?
As.
A truck driver.This makes sense for me because I need a small form factor PC.In my truck I don't have much space.And I just need something that allow me to have a basic computer experience and maybe run some games at seven twenty or ten eighty.
I use speech to text so excuse the typos
Back in 2021 I spent $250 on an RX 6500 XT to pair with my 5700G without realising the atrocity I was about to commit. I somehow made my bad decision even worse by buying the more expensive gigabyte 3 fan model so I could squeeze out some performance with an OC😂. As soon as I installed my new GPU and ran some benchmarks I knew something was up and after 5 minutes on google I realised my mistake. 3 years later and it still keeps me up at night.
