AMD's Ryzen 8000G Desktop APUs feature the fastest iGPU on the planet but SkatterBencher has made this RDNA 3 chip even faster through manual overclocking, gaining an impressive graphics performance uplift of over 60% with an outrageous amount of power.
The AMD Radeon 780M iGPU isn't a new integrated graphics solution. It's been around for over a year with its first release a year back with the Phoenix "Ryzen 7040" laptops. The iGPU was refreshed for the Hawk Point "Ryzen 8040" laptops with the first products shipping this month and it also made its desktop debut a few weeks back with the AMD Ryzen 8000G APU family on the AM5 platform.
In our review, we found the AMD Radeon 780M iGPU for desktop to be a very good entry-level graphics solution for budget PC builders with performance matching some of the most popular entry-level discrete graphics cards such as the GTX 1650 and overclocking it brought it close to the GTX 1650 Ti. However, extreme overclocking results have now been published by SkatterBencher which show the full performance capabilities that can be achieved with this chip and the results are very interesting.
To set a baseline, the AMD Radeon 780M iGPU was first tested in stock configuration and reached an impressive 2881 MHz with a peak power of 49.8W. This is what most users of the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G APU will be getting out of the box from the chip. To overclock the chip, the first thing that is done is to enable XPM mode (DDR5-6400) and enable the PBO 2 mode which helps the iGPU gain a slight advantage with a peak clock of 2903 MHz (1.063V) and a peak GPU ASIC power of 68.5W in the 3DMark Stress Test and 2882 MHz (1.141V) with a peak consumption of 138.4W in OCCT. This helps the chip gain a maximum performance uplift
