Ryzen 5 8600G Specifications

The Ryzen 5 8600G 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 6 performance cores operating at a base clock of 4.30 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz , and includes 12 threads. It also comes equipped with 6 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™ 760M, which features 8 GPU cores. It operates at a base clock of None GHz and boosts up to 2800.00 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.
