News AMD's upcoming integrated graphics matches seven years old GTX 1060 in Geekbench 6 — Ryzen 5 8600G iGPU benchmarks leak

[Admin]

AMD's upcoming Ryzen 5 8600G APU was tested in two Geekbench 6 GPU benchmarks, showing similar performance to Nvidia's seven years old GTX 1060.

If true, they will be perfect for budget E-sports rigs.

 

[bourgeoisdude]

Not bad for iGPU honestly. Curious if they will also have 8700G. Like the article says, the 1060 can run even most modern games at low settings.

There shouldn't be any mystery about how 760M/780M graphics performs, the mobile APUs have been out. They can clock it higher at a 65W TDP, and maybe there's a difference from RAM.

 

[Notton]

After having seen how much DLSS affects FPS on an RTX2050 4GB.
If 8000G series supports FSR3 and frame generation, then I can see it being an absolute slayer of everything low end.

 

[Giroro]

The GTX 1060 will probably still encode better quality h.264/265 video

Low to medium honestly depending on the game, its still a good card for the most common esports games, same with the RX 580.

Would this make the new iGPU ≈ Hypothetical 770M in performance?

 

[King_V]

The Radeon 760M's score is slightly better than Nvidia's GeForce GTX 1060, or slightly worse than Nvidia's (much maligned) GTX 1630.

How does this sentence make sense? Both of those clauses in the sentence cannot be true at the same time.

EDIT: ok, now I think I get it . . it's slightly better than the 1060 in Vulkan, and slightly worse than the 1630 in OpenCL, and that they're still talking about the version of the 760M specifically in the 8600G. But writing it they way that they did is unclear/confusing.

 

[tbq]

So the iGPU in the 8600G is roughly equal to the GTX 1060, which is roughly equal to AMD's Radeon RX 580 from seven years ago. It usually takes around 7 years for AMD's product stack to cycle through, where the 7 year old high end product gets out performed by the latest low-end offering. So the performance and timing are about right.
I'm going to seriously consider a 8700G for my next build, and even more so if they make a version with the additional cache.

What additional cache? What are you talking about? I don't think that exists.

 

[artk2219]

An X3D part, that would be super neat, but I don't think that's in current the cards, at least not that I know of.

 

[PiersPlowman]

So how many FPS do you get playing Geekbench 6 at 1080p?

I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[ohio_buckeye]

Man imagine if they can get one with say rx 6600 performance. That could be a game changer.

 

[usertests]

An X3D part, that would be super neat, but I don't think that's in current the cards, at least not that I know of.

There's no chance of it. The desktop APUs mirror the mainstream mobile APU lineup - standard Phoenix, but also the smaller Phoenix2 die this time around.

Dragon Range X3D, e.g. the 7945HX3D, are Zen 4 desktop CPUs (Raphael) repackaged to go into laptops.

I think Strix Point will increase L3 cache to 24 MiB, from 16 MiB, which would be a respectable increase. Then there's Strix Halo which is its own thing, and may be found in mini PCs but not the AM5 socket. We don't know anything yet about big L3 caches (whether its "X3D" or "Infinity Cache") coming to AMD APUs in the future.

Lets see what the memory bandwidth looks like. iGPU's are usually memory limited before they are clock speed / TDP limited.

 

[AgentBirdnest]

If it truly does match a 1060, that'd be awesome!
I repurposed my old 1060 for a secondary machine I just built a couple months ago, and it still does 1080p gaming pretty respectably. I don't mean e-sports; I mean even AAA games from 2022 with lower settings (which often still looks fantastic, in many games.)

I hope this turns out to be accurate.

 

[thestryker]

The memory bandwidth is going to be a very real problem for these parts. Using 6400 would match most current 7840U/7640U implementations, but those can go up to 7500. If the APUs can switch to a 2:1 ratio then potentially faster DRAM can be used, but at that point you'd be spending so much on DRAM you should probably just buy a video card.

 

[Tac 25]

that's a rather strong integrated graphics. People can do medium settings on certain demanding games, or even high settings on certain low resource games. Honestly depends on the game. But having an integrated graphics as strong as a 1060 would save some cash.

I see price of $110 USD for DDR5 7200 32GB kit of 2*16GB right now in A****n. Price is good, speed also is good for 8000G series. I think that would not problem to be used. Last few versions of Agesa unlock using of faster DDR5 for AMD CPU's I believe for APU's too.

Makes zero sense to me, unless they are claiming the 760M does both of the following:

defeats the GTX1060 (odd that they did not mention which GTX1060's scores were being compared, the crippled 3 GB version or the 6 GB version)

Loses to the GTX1630.. (Are they saying the GTX1630 defeats the GTX1060? I doubt that)

 

[Colif]

Its why they didn't make any GPU below 7600, they have been saying it will replace a lot of low end cards.

 

[Lucky_SLS]

The dream (no need for a dGPU in laptop) will be realised when AMD makes a Ryzen 9 sized chip with 1 CCD compute tile and 1 CCD graphics tile. 40 CU and 2560 shader cores, competing with PS5 GPU in terms of core count.

 

[hotaru251]

heres hoping its anywhere near 1060.

imagine that with an improved infinity fabric & x3d cache...would be a cheap gaming rig for most games that are out w/o having spend $200+ on dgpu.

 

[dmitche31958]

I find this very interesting. That an integrated GPU with this level of power replaces the popular GTX-1060 and allow me to avoid the expensive graphics card is wonderful. Any games that I play is for fun. I don't need 200 fps and even though I can get those numbers I limit the card to avoid putting heat stress on the card. I use to drink the GPU Kool-Aid but now I only enjoy it in my glass.
