Ryzen 7 8700G

Ryzen 7 8700G Specifications

The Ryzen 7 8700G is built on the Zen 4 Phoenix architecture and manufactured using the 4 nm process. It is compatible with the AM5 socket and supports DDR5 memory with speeds of up to 5200 MT/s. This processor features 8 performance cores operating at a base clock of 4.20 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz , and includes 16 threads. It also comes equipped with 8 MB of L2 cache and 16 MB of L3 cache.

This CPU has a low base TDP of 65 W and a maximum TDP of 88 W. Stock CPU coolers are generally adequate as long as overclocking is not applied. It is a good fit for compact systems where heat dissipation is a concern.

For users who require integrated graphics, this CPU includes the Radeon™ 780M, which features 12 GPU cores. It operates at a base clock of None GHz and boosts up to 2900.00 GHz. This makes it suitable for systems without a dedicated GPU, capable of handling everyday tasks and running older or less demanding games. Integrated graphics can also accelerate specific workloads even when a discrete GPU is installed.

Ryzen 7 8700G Application Performance and Gaming Benchmark Analysis

Ryzen 7 8700G is a mid-range CPU, achieving a relative application performance score of 47.16% of the best possible desktop CPU performance. This CPU is ideal for daily computing, productivity tasks, and multitasking. While it can handle professional applications like 3D rendering and video editing, it may exhibit slower execution and reduced responsiveness under heavy workloads.

The application performance-per-price ratio of Ryzen 7 8700G is 43.4%, indicating lower value in this category. This CPU does not offer high application performance and has a low performance-to-price ratio, making it a poor value proposition. There are better alternatives available in this price range.

Ryzen 7 8700G is an entry-level gaming CPU, achieving a relative gaming performance score at 1080p resolution of 64.41% of the best possible desktop CPU gaming performance. While gaming performance is limited when paired with top-tier graphics cards, such pairings are uncommon in this category. When combined with an appropriate entry-level GPU, this CPU does not cause significant performance loss, as the GPU generally becomes the primary limiting factor.

With a gaming performance-per-price score of 32.7%, this CPU does not offer strong value in this category. As this CPU does not deliver top-tier gaming performance and also has a low gaming performance-to-price ratio, it represents poor value. More competitive options are available at a similar price point.
