News AMD's Ryzen 8000G lineup gets a price drop — high-end integrated graphics get cheaper ahead of 9000-series release

AMD is keeping the $100 price gap between the 8700G and 8600G? Although the $30 price drop on the 8700G makes it more palatable, this continues to make the 8600G the real winner.

Guess there's always a price premium for the top chip in a certain product line, eh.
 
The 8500G also uses a weaker 740M graphics engine than the Radeon 760M in the 8700G/8600G,

Correction. The 8700G APU actually sports the 780M iGPU with 12 CUs.

8600G comes with the 760M with 8CUs instead.
 
8700G need to be priced 267
8600G 179
8500g 129

Price amd ask for that cpu you can catch a I3 and a discrete graphics card...
another HIT is PCIe config on these cpu... making it good for a mediocre workstation.

at full 16 pcie lanes cpu it's hard to config a GOOD machine... Now think with 8 pcie lanes?

The 8000G series is the only line of processors on the current-gen AM5 socket which offer integrated graphics...

Are we not forgetting the 7000-series iGPUs?

I assure you, the 2 CU AMD Radeon™ Graphics in my Ryzen 7600 is quite capable, all things considered, especially overclocked to 2660MHz and undervolted to -14 GFX core offset (helps improve all-core speeds as it reduces the temps - the CPU will otherwise be downclocked to favour the iGPU).

VRAM is a little slow, but on the plus side there's 64GB of it, plus the full 32MB CPU L3 cache as opposed to 16MB on the 8700G.
