AMD Ryzen 8000 Series: A New Era of Performance

    AMD tech market is making a noise after the release of its Ryzen 8000 series processors, also known as the ‘Phoenix’ series which revolutionized the computing world. This series brings together some of the best, cutting-edge AMD technologies into one unique package.

    The flagship of the Ryzen 8000 series, the Ryzen 7 8700G, is a powerhouse. It is built on the powerful Zen 4 architecture and offers eight cores and 16 threads. The processor has a base clock of 4.2 GHz and can boost up to 5.1 GHz. It features a total of 24MB cache (8MB L2 and 16MB L3). The processor also includes an integrated AMD Radeon 780M Graphics which some tech enthusiasts claims to be of the same level as the Radeon RX 580 card in terms of graphics computing.

    Ryzen 8000 series processors are compatible with AM5 socket motherboards. They support DDR5 memory and PCIe 4.0. If a dedicated graphics card is needed later on, the AM5 platform is ready to support that expansion.

    This series of AMD CPU showcases power efficiency, particularly Ryzen 7 8700G. It delivers similar performance to Intel i5-14600K at 65% less TDP, 65W vs. 181W.
