AMD's upcoming Ryzen 5 8600G Socket AM5 desktop APU will include the truncated Radeon 760M integrated graphics, rather than the previously believed Radeon 780M or the full iGPU configuration. There are conflicting reports on the exact silicon that the Ryzen 8000G desktop APUs are based on. Some older reports and Geekbench detect 8600G engineering samples based on "Phoenix," while newer reports suggest it's based on "Hawk Point." Both "Phoenix" and "Hawk Point" are nearly identical, with the latter featuring a faster NPU.
The Ryzen 5 8600G features a 6-core/12-thread CPU based on the "Zen 4" microarchitecture, with 1 MB of L2 cache per core and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The CPU has a base frequency of 4.35 GHz and a maximum boost frequency of 5.00 GHz. These CPU clocks are similar to those of the mobile Ryzen 5 7640H, but the 8600G has a 65 W TDP and possible 90 W PPT to help with boost frequency residency. The Radeon 760M has 8 out of 12 RDNA3 compute units physically present on the silicon, giving it 512 stream processors. Geekbench detects a GPU clock of 2.80 GHz, compared to the 2.60 GHz of the Radeon 760M on the Ryzen 5 7640H. The 8600G ES was tested on an MSI MEG X670E Ace motherboard with 32 GB of dual-channel DDR5-6000 memory.
