"AMD's Ryzen 8000G APUs: A Game-Changer in Integrated Graphics Performance"

AMD has launched the Ryzen 8000G series, featuring the Ryzen 7 8700G and Ryzen 5 8600G APUs with Zen 4 cores and RDNA3 integrated graphics. These APUs are designed for budget-conscious users and gamers, offering on-chip AI capabilities and targeting 1080p gaming performance. The series also includes the Ryzen AI NPU for AI inferencing workloads. The lineup ranges from the top-tier 8C/16T Ryzen 7 8700G to the entry-level Ryzen 3 8300G, with prices starting at $229. However, the transition to DDR5 memory through the AM5 chipset raises questions about overall value compared to the previous generation and the competition in the entry-level market.

"Modder Transforms $95 AMD APU into a Powerful 16GB Linux AI Machine, Unleashing Your Inner GPU"

A modder has discovered a method to perform AI tasks on AMD APUs, such as the Ryzen 5 4600G and Ryzen 5 5600G, which cost around $95 and $130 respectively. By allocating shared memory and treating the APU as a 16GB GPU, the devices can run AI workloads comparable to high-end dedicated graphics cards. The modder's instructions enable the APUs to support AMD's ROCm platform and tools like Pytorch and TensorFlow. This cost-effective solution could expand access to AI experimentation and save money on expensive GPUs.

"Leaked AMD Ryzen 8000 APUs to Feature Zen 5 and RDNA 3.5 for High-End Performance"

Leaked information suggests that AMD will release next-gen Ryzen 8000 APUs with Zen 5 and Zen 4 cores, RDNA 3.5 GPU cores, and XDNA engines. The Hawk Point APUs will be the first to hit shelves, followed by Strix Point and Fire Range APUs. The Strix Point APUs will come in two flavors, a monolithic die, and a chiplet design. The chiplet design will be the first APU with up to 16 Zen 5 cores with 32 threads and offering 25% faster performance than a 16-core Dragon Range chip at the same power (90W). The first AMD Zen 5 Ryzen 8000 APUs aren't expected until mid-2024.
