      tell me about it! Im still using a ryzen 5 1600 that i got very early after it was released, and it dosent feel like iv had it that long lol. Just starting to really show its age in cyberpunk struggling to keep 60fps in the busy places. Not to mention starfield.....My rtx 2060 isnt much more powerful but when the cpu overtakes the gpu in utilization it feels rough. Luckily my b350 gaming f should handle a later gen Ryzen maybe a 5600x or something with just a bios update

      My first experience with an APU was AMD's A8 6600K back in 2014. I was blown away at the time being able to play games without a dedicated GPU. Fast forward a decade later, and these APUs are absolutely mind-boggling with their performance!

      @@manuelhernandez2017 This new APU is great if someone wants to build a small (ITX or smaller) system that sips power, runs quiet, and has more than adequate power for frankly most home or office users that might also want to do some casual gaming. Give it adequate RAM (which any system needs anyway) and it is more than adequate for home video editing, photo editing/management, music work (system silence is golden for that), podcast recording - you name it. Sure, a lower price would be nice, but there is also a value to the simplicity of a system built around an 8700G. I build the occasional computer and help people with their system problems. If someone came to me wanting a "gets the job done without eating the desktop or electric bill" system, the toughest question might be "what's the coolest case to put this in?"

    I think a lot of people are missing the point of the 8000 series APUs.
    It’s not 2020 when APUs were for the poors, these things are now for people chasing SFF like myself.
    This thing has impressive work environment capabilities while also offering a positive leisure gaming experience.
    If you travel for work, or maybe want something you can bring to in-laws, all you need is this an a portable Usbc monitor. No hassle of removing a GPU for transport or dealing with a heavy, bulky, Micro ATX build.
    InWin offers some cases with very small built in Gold rated PSUs and they pair very well with an APU like this if anyone is interested.

    I love these APUs, and I always have a 2200G floating around in my workspace for testing, messing around on, etc., but it’s kind of a shame that AMD has shifted their marketing mentality for these APUs. It used to be that APUs were cost effective solutions for users that couldn’t really afford a dedicated GPU but now it’s shifted to being a higher end CPU for those chasing better performance for smaller form factor and itx builds which already incur a premium. You can see evidence of this in their current 8000 series stack. Look at how gimped the 8600G and 8500G are in comparison to the 8700G.

    When nearing the max limit of DDR5 memory speed, these iGPUs can be properly utilized.
    If only AMD had the cheaper options using 780M/760M instead of 740M so their price could be more competitive with dedicated. Maybe if they could make these iGPUs chiplet like the 610M it could be possible to see them in cheaper options.

      From looking at 1:20, there's nothing wrong with the way that AiO is mounted. The tubes connecting the radiator to the pump, which is housed inside the CPU waterblock, are at the bottom, with the top edge of the radiator above the pump. This will make it so that the air naturally collects and stays at the top of the radiator, therefore not harming the pump

    APUs have come a long way. Still remember how disappointed I was with my 2400G when I bought it in 2018. Got myself a RX 570 as soon as I could and a 2700X in 2021 because I was not pleased at all with the APU. It sucked both in CPU and GPU performance and was a bottleneck even for the RX 570 which I actually have to this day. As always, great video!

    • @CrazySerb
      @CrazySerb 2 місяці тому

      APUs (especially 2200G/3200G) were meant to fill budget gaming for 720p mostly, same as these new ones. The only difference is price and alternatives.
      2400G/3400G already had pricing issue at 150$ because an i3 and used rx570 were offering much better performance for same amount of money.
      In my opinion, APUs have degraded and have no real purpose. 5600G was a bad deal even during mining because an i3 (~100) and used rx570 (~150) were still a better choice and it is still a bad deal now. On top of it, all Zen4 CPUs have iGP for display out purposes which makes AM5 APUs even more pointless.
      Maximum price for gaming APU should be 150$ to make sense with this level of iGP performance, especially when we consider that CPU side is "crippled".

    just a quick note that the ram oc would of been desynced from the memory controller reducing performance instead of increasing it, though with the Igpu clock increase it seems to not care. if you ran 6400 1:1 with the easy Ryzen 7000 timings from buildzoid you'd see a much bigger performance uplift for not a whole lot of work. NOTE: its only usable with Hynix A die memory chips.

    I've recommended a couple build options for some friends, the 8700G is $100 US cheaper than the other one, has a better upgrade path, but you have to put up with low graphics settings if you want decent frame rates until you add a GPU, and the other doesn't have as much of an upgrade path, but can do 1440p high settings at 60+ fps in almost any game. It's just a matter of do you want it all now, or can you wait.

    The memory timing is a better option before increasing clocks as you will see more of an improvement. I was confused as to why at 7800 I was getting worse score than 6400 and barely better than 6000 when I tried faster RAM on mine. Turns out it as down to timings more than speed, which I know sounds odd after the DDR3 and 4 APUs but it seems it is the case. Mind you a bit of both works nicely, and I have now managed to get mine running quite nicely at 8200 with some tighter timings and got the boost I expected to see.
    If its Samsung ram, you could try the 6400 pre-set for it in the bios and then ramp up the clocks, as that's what I did with my 6000 kit and I managed to hit 7000 with a bit of a voltage increase, the max default restricted one of 1.425 or 1.435 or whatever it was was to play it safe. On hynix kit mind you I had to do a bit more manual tweaking and so became friends with the clr cmos and USB settings save option :D

    Ok, so this makes this a lot more capable than I expected. I can't say I would buy one personally, but it would make a heck of a console replacement PC. I may be behind the curve a generation or 2 (sometimes more) when it comes to PCs personally, I tend to get mid-range to high end depending on what is available. I went from an used Intel i5 3570K to an used AMD Ryzen 5 1600X in 2019. I now have a brand new AMD Ryzen 5600X I bought as the price dropped to $156.00. This has become, yet again, an interesting time in computing. And it is nice to see APUs come as far as they have and being taken more seriously. However, I rather not have both a CPU and GPU that are limiting each other's potential while being further limited by sharing system RAM. That is one thing where the consoles do have the advantage, just sharing faster graphics RAM between the CPU and GPU, but lacking the GPU horsepower to fully take advantage.

    So if that's on-Chip Graphics, it takes the Ram as VRam, right? It would be interesting to know how the system does with 'just' 16gb of Ram, as this would limit wither VRam or normal system Ram quite considerably. Or am I missing something here?

    This is a game changer. Now Intel will be forced to improve the iGPU in their lineups so this is only going to get better now..
    Also I just had a thought 💭 I'm wondering what if they start making DDR 5 memory as double sided ram but 1 side is system ram and the other side is GDDR 6 Vram specifically for APU systems so you can have actual graphics ram and not the slower system ram and it would also not allocate the system ram meaning you don't need a 32gb kit a 16gb X 8gb kit would be perfect 16gb system and 8gb Vram on 2 sticks and would not take up any more space than the normal ram would..

When you go beyond 6400Mhz the motherboard will switch the memory controller to 2:1 mode, it lowers performance. With manual overclock you can go arround 7600 stable.

    Impressive chip, but I'm having a hard time finding a use case for it, considering it needs an expensive AM5 motherboard and high speed DDR5 RAM to shine.
    It's now possible to build a tiny SFF system in a teeny tiny 4 litre case with a discrete RTX 4060 low profile graphics card + a cheap AM4 or Intel CPU which would blow this APU away in gaming performance at any resolution, offer more features and cost about the same.

      It's best for work/school/travel use case in a MFF case for someone who doesn't play heavy games. For the motherboard it doesn't even need pci-e gen 5 one and a basic B650 with 2 ram slots is enough and the best. Pretty sure some mboard manufacturers will make cheaper AM5 mboards with pci-e gen 4 only, just like they did with AM4. And yes in heavy games it can't compare with a dgpu, but for multitasking and cpu power beats them all 4 and 6 core cpus, and btw do you really need 100+ fps for casual gaming where 60 is enough!

    What the score on the Cooler? is the AMD one RGB or not as on AMD site it says comes with RGB stealth, but in all the reviews they use the stealth non RGB I wanted to put one of these in my Inwin B1 glass mini system but at 57mm cooler height the clearance is a little to low. ~UK Ryzen 8700G at £305 here in UK is a good offer, considering i3 12100(non F) are still selling at £130. I remember buy a £390 Dgpu to play GTA V at high 60 mins and this is doing that no dGPU. As my favourite games are all over 5 years old, Grid Racing Driver, Grid 2, Dirt 3, Dirt 4 and Rally. So this is mint for me. I would love bench marks on classic older games like GTA V. That said I am a linux guy and avoid AAA games otherwise I would be a windows user

    I believe there would be at least 3-4fps more in every comparison if an iGPU got an extra 50mhz oc, ram to 7200mhz and cpu too (you can do an overdrive so that it's boost clock jumps from 5150 to 5350), but I like the results nonetheless. Still not a good purchase considering an awful price, but once it goes down to 200 let's say, then I'll be thinking about buying it.

However, it seems like some tech reviewers are avoiding testing the Ryzen 8000 series APU, possibly because they are disappointed with the PCIE lanes and the MSRP. I hope that AMD will introduce a new APU that can better meet the needs of consumers and keep up with future developments. Because lets be frank, budget discrete gpu right now is not even worth it for price to performance ratio. Much more economical to use the APU for wattage and save desk space.
