AMD Preps Ryzen 8000G “Phoenix” AM5 Desktop APU Lineup: Ryzen 7 8700G, Ryzen 5 8600G, Ryzen 5 8500G & Ryzen 3 8300G

wccftech.com:

AMD is reportedly preparing to launch its Ryzen 8000G "Phoenix" APU lineup for the AM5 desktop platform in various configurations.

The latest rumor on AMD's highly anticipated AM5 Desktop APUs comes from HKEPC who state that AMD will be launching its Ryzen 8000G APU family soon.

Their information comes from a Taiwanese-based motherboard manufacturer who has received the first ES Ryzen "AM5" APUs for testing and based on the information, the chips will be marketed as Ryzen 8000G instead of Ryzen 7000G which was the previously rumored branding. It might make sense to badge them under the Ryzen 8000 family since the APUs are launching close to or into 2024 along with the rest of the APU / CPU family which will also use the same naming scheme in the coming year.

So starting with the specifications, the AMD Ryzen 8000G "Phoenix" AM5 Desktop APUs will come in both hybrid and non-hybrid flavors. The hybrid flavors will come with a combination of Zen 4 & Zen 4C cores while featuring up to Radeon 740M iGPUs with 4 compute units while the higher-end Zen 4-only designs will feature up to 8 CPU cores and 12 compute units. There are a total of four SKUs that will be part of this lineup which would include:

The AMD Ryzen 7 8700G will be the Phoenix AM5 desktop flagship APU with a total of 8 cores, 16 threads,16 MB of L3 cache, and a Radeon 780M iGPU with 12 compute units. Following this would be the 6-core and 12-thread Ryzen 5 8600G which will feature the Radeon 760M iGPU with 8 CUs.

Then we have the hybrid configurations which feature the Ryzen 5 8500G with a mix of 4 Zen 4C cores and 2 Zen 4 cores while the Ryzen 3 8300G features 3 Zen 4C cores and a single Zen 4 core. This die will be the same as the Phoenix 2 APUs which were recently
