AMD Ryzen 5 8600G to Feature Radeon 760M Graphics with 8 CU, 5.00 GHz Maximum CPU Boost
AMD's upcoming Ryzen 5 8600G Socket AM5 desktop APU will feature the truncated Radeon 760M integrated graphics, and not the previously believed Radeon 780M, or the full iGPU configuration present on the silicon. At this point, there are still conflicting reports on which exact silicon the Ryzen 8000G desktop APUs are even based on, with some of the older reports and Geekbench detecting 8600G engineering samples to be based on "Phoenix," and some of the newer reports suggesting that it's based on "Hawk Point." Both "Phoenix" and "Hawk Point" are nearly identical, except for the latter to feature a faster NPU.
The Ryzen 5 8600G is configured with 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 base frequency is set to a healthy 4.35 GHz, and maximum CPU boost frequency of 5.00 GHz. These CPU clocks are very similar to those of the mobile Ryzen 5 7640H (which has a base frequency of 4.30 GHz, but the same 5.00 GHz boost), but in case of the 8600G, the 65 W TDP and possible 90 W PPT should help with boost frequency residency. The Radeon 760M gets 8 out of 12 RDNA3 compute units physically present on the silicon, giving it 512 stream processors. Geekbench detects an engine clock (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 running on an MSI MEG X670E Ace motherboard, with 32 GB of dual-channel DDR5-6000 memory.

Afaik, AM5 has HDMI and DP capabilities onboard by itself but it's up to the motherboard manufacturers to implement the outputs. As every processor bar the 7500F has a basic as it may be iGPU, at least one video out is expected.
And yes it's still an APU :rolleyes:No the term APU used to refer to "CPU" with an IGP, before that they were usually on the motherboard. In case you missed it the CCD's (chiplet) also don't have a memory controller, I guess they're not CPU's then?
Starting with Llano IIRC ~

Edit: wrong number and link. Vega 11 in 3400G is OC and faster than variant in 2400G!
Llano is over a decade old now so stop using it as a reference, things change. AMD did try to highlight its IGP performance at the time, something I never saw them do with Raphael. AMD simply pointed out the 2CU IGP's existence, which isn't the same.That's apples to oranges, or rather apples to old apples. By that reasoning you can't call a Phenom II X4 920 a quad core anymore because there are dual cores that beats it today.
