New AMD CPUs bring ludicrous single-core performance increase

New AMD CPUs bring ludicrous single-core performance increase

Early benchmarks of the AMD Ryzen 8700G and 8600G have shown the upcoming AMD CPUs will provide a massive increase in per-core performance, bringing significant benefits for those seeking an all-in-one CPU with powerful integrated graphics.

The 8700G and 8600G are what AMD generally terms APUs, in that they’re accelerated processing units with very capable integrated graphics. Because of the extra complication of their more powerful graphics, they’ve tended to lag behind conventional best CPU options when it comes to using the latest CPU architecture, and so it is with the new 8000G lineup. These are the first of the company’s APUs to use its latest Zen 4 architecture, as used in the likes of the AMD Ryzen 7800X3D.
