LAS VEGAS, Jan. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, ahead of CES 2024, AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) announ­ced new pro­ducts expan­ding its desk­top port­fo­lio, deli­ve­ring pre­mi­um expe­ri­en­ces to gamers, con­tent crea­tors and ever­y­day users through extra­or­di­na­ry per­for­mance and the power of per­so­nal AI pro­ces­sing. AMD is intro­du­cing the new AMD Ryzen™ 8000G Series desk­top pro­ces­sors for the AM5 plat­form, inclu­ding the Ryzen™ 7 8700G, with the world’s most powerful built-in gra­phics.1 AMD is also brin­ging the power of a dedi­ca­ted AI neu­ral pro­ces­sing unit (NPU) to desk­top PC pro­ces­sors for the first time with the intro­duc­tion of Ryzen™ AI to unlock more AI capa­bi­li­ties for con­su­mers and impro­ve pro­duc­ti­vi­ty, effi­ci­en­cy, and advan­ced collaboration.

Buil­ding on the unpre­ce­den­ted lon­ge­vi­ty of socket AM4, AMD is intro­du­cing new Ryzen™ 5000 pro­ces­sors, offe­ring users even more choices when it comes to buil­ding a sys­tem for pro­duc­ti­vi­ty, gam­ing, or con­tent crea­ti­on. The new offe­rings include the new Ryzen 7 5700X3D, lever­aging powerful 3D V‑Cache™ tech­no­lo­gy to pro­vi­de gamers with a mas­si­ve boost in gam­ing performance.

AMD con­ti­nues to lead the AI hard­ware revo­lu­ti­on by offe­ring the broa­dest port­fo­lio of pro­ces­sors with dedi­ca­ted AI engi­nes in the x86 mar­ket,” said Jack Huynh, seni­or vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger, Com­pu­ting and Gra­phics Group at AMD. “Last year at CES, we intro­du­ced the first dedi­ca­ted AI engi­ne in an x86 pro­ces­sor for the mobi­le mar­ket. This year, we are expan­ding our AI lea­der­ship to desk­top com­pu­ting through our Ryzen 8000G Series pro­ces­sors. We’re exci­ted to lead the AI PC era tog­e­ther with our clo­se OEM and eco­sys­tem partners.”

AMD Ryzen™ 8000G Series Desk­top Pro­ces­sors Deli­ver Impres­si­ve Gra­phics and Pro­duc­ti­vi­ty in a Sin­gle Package
AMD Ryzen™ 8000G Series is the ulti­ma­te all-in-one desk­top pro­ces­sor. Fea­turing up to eight cores and 16 threads, users can expect immense power and domi­nant per­for­mance for inten­si­ve workloads inclu­ding gam­ing and con­tent crea­ti­on. The­se pro­ces­sors are opti­mi­zed for effi­ci­en­cy with low power draw but don’t sacri­fice per­for­mance or respon­si­ve­ness. Built on top of AMD “Zen 4” archi­tec­tu­re, the 8000G Series pro­ces­sors enable lea­der­ship ener­gy effi­ci­en­cy while still lever­aging the incre­di­ble speed of “Zen 4”.

At the top of the stack, AMD Ryzen™ 7 8700G fea­tures eight cores, 16 threads, 24MB of Cache, and Rade­on™ 780M gra­phics. Mean­while, AMD Ryzen™ 5 8600G offer six cores, 12 threads, 22MB of Cache, and Rade­on 760M gra­phics. Both include AMD Ryzen™ AI tech­no­lo­gy, inclu­ding the first NPU on a desk­top PC pro­ces­sor, uni­que­ly able to acce­le­ra­te AI soft­ware capa­bi­li­ties in your PC to opti­mi­ze AI workloads, impro­ve AI pro­ces­sing effi­ci­en­ci­es, and unlock exci­ting expe­ri­en­ces like AI-powered noi­se cancellation.

All 8000G Series desk­top pro­ces­sor models offer the fas­test built-in gra­phics in its class with the impres­si­ve power of Rade­on 700M.2 Gamers will bene­fit from impres­si­ve visu­al fide­li­ty, pro­vi­ding a smooth AAA 1080p gam­ing expe­ri­ence at an afforda­ble pri­ce point, and in small form fac­tors. The Ryzen™ 7 8700G fea­tures Rade­on 780M gra­phics with the fas­test built-in gra­phics you can get in a desk­top pro­ces­sor.3 The 8000G Series is per­fect for tho­se wan­ting to enter the AM5 eco­sys­tem and enjoy a smooth 1080p expe­ri­ence today, with the opti­on to upgrade with a dis­crete gra­phics card later for even hig­her fide­li­ty gameplay.

The enti­re 8000G Series also fea­tures AMD EXPO™ tech­no­lo­gy, enab­ling hig­her memo­ry fre­quen­ci­es and advan­ced timings to unlock smoot­her frame rates.4 Pre­cis­i­on Boost Over­dri­ve (PBO) allows one-touch over­clo­cking, giving users an extra CPU boost with increased power limits.5

AMD Ryzen™ 8000G Series desk­top pro­ces­sors are expec­ted to be available to DIY cus­to­mers, SI part­ners start­ing Janu­ary 31st, 2024. OEM sys­tems are expec­ted to arri­ve in Q2 2024.
