AMD Ryzen 7 8700G
A monolithic Zen 4 APU carrying the 12 CU RDNA 3 Radeon 780M, fast enough to play modern games at 1080p with settings turned down and no discrete card. Buy it for small-form-factor or GPU-less builds; buy something else if a graphics card is going in the slot.
Pros
- Radeon 780M at 2.9 GHz is the fastest desktop integrated GPU of its era — playable 1080p in many titles without a GPU
- Eight Zen 4 cores and 16 threads at a 65 W TDP, with a Wraith Spire cooler in the box
- Monolithic die gives lower idle power and lower memory latency than the chiplet Ryzen 7000 desktop parts
- Includes an XDNA NPU, unlike any chiplet Ryzen 7000/9000 desktop chip
- Fits any AM5 board, so the same platform can later take a chiplet CPU and a discrete GPU
Cons
- Only 16 MB of L3, half the 7700's, which costs it noticeably in games once a real GPU is added
- PCIe 4.0 only, and the graphics slot runs at x8 — a step back from the Gen 5 x16 of Ryzen 7000 desktop parts
- The 780M is memory-bandwidth starved; it needs fast DDR5 and still falls far short of even a budget discrete card
- Priced close to a 7700 plus a cheap GPU, which is the faster combination if space and power allow
