AMD Ryzen 7 8700G Processor with Radeon Graphics

The AMD Ryzen 7 8700G is a desktop APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) built on AMD’s Zen 4 CPU architecture and manufactured using TSMC’s 4nm FinFET process node. It slots into the AM5 socket and is compatible with a wide range of motherboards including A620, B650, B650E, X670, X670E, X870, X870E, B840, and B850 chipsets, making it a versatile choice for new AM5 platform builds. On the CPU side, the Ryzen 7 8700G delivers 8 cores and 16 threads with a base clock of 4.2 GHz and a maximum boost clock of up to 5.1 GHz via Precision Boost 2 technology. The processor carries 8 MB of L2 cache and 16 MB of L3 cache (24 MB combined). Its default TDP is 65W, with AMD Configurable TDP (cTDP) support allowing operation between 45W and 65W depending on the platform and thermal headroom. The chip is fully unlocked for overclocking and supports AMD Precision Boost Overdrive, Curve Optimizer voltage offsets, AMD EXPO memory overclocking technology, and AMD Ryzen Master software control. The integrated graphics solution is the AMD Radeon 780M, featuring 12 compute units running at up to 2900 MHz. It supports DirectX 12, DisplayPort 2.1 (with Adaptive-Sync, HDR Metadata, and UHBR10), HDMI 2.1, HDCP 2.3, USB Type-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode, and AMD FreeSync. Up to four displays can be driven simultaneously. Maximum display output reaches 7680×4320 at 60 Hz over DisplayPort, and the GPU supports hardware acceleration for AV1, H.265, H.264, VP9, VC1, and MPEG2 encode and decode workloads. System memory support covers DDR5 only (UDIMM), across two channels, with speeds up to DDR5-5200 in dual-rank configurations and a maximum addressable capacity of 256 GB. ECC memory is supported where the platform provides it. The processor’s PCIe implementation is PCIe 4.0 with 20 total / 16 usable lanes, and native connectivity includes 2× USB 4 (40 Gbps), 2× USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps), and 1× USB 2.0. NVMe support covers Boot, RAID 0, and RAID 1 configurations. AMD Ryzen AI is present on this silicon, delivering up to 16 TOPS of neural processing performance for AI-accelerated workloads. The maximum operating temperature (Tjmax) is 95°C. OS support covers Windows 11 (64-bit), Windows 10 (64-bit), RHEL x86 64-bit, and Ubuntu x86 64-bit. A CPU cooler is included in the retail box. Warranty is 3 years.
