CES 2024: AMD Ryzen 8000G AI CPUs Unveiled; New Ryzen 5000 GT for AM4, Too!

AMD has just unveiled new Ryzen 8000 series processors (G-series) for the AM5 platform at CES 2024. Several new features, performance improvements, and architectural innovations have been made for these new advanced processing unit (APU) processors by AMD.

Along with this, AMD also unveiled new Ryzen 5000 series processors, bringing several new upgrade options for people still on the AM4 platform with B450, X570, and other motherboards. First, let’s discuss the brand newRyzen 8000G!

AMD Ryzen AI & Neural Processing Unit (NPU) on Ryzen 8000G

This new lineup of processors, the first to launch under AMD’s Ryzen 8000 series, includes a brand newNPU. NPU stands for Neural Processing Unit, and essentially, this new desktop processor comes with the latestAI capabilitiesthanks to AMD’s Ryzen AI platform.

This dedicated NPU AI engine on Ryzen 8000G helps users accelerate several AI workloads on the fly. This reduces our reliance on the cloud and allows for more low-latency AI models to run locally on the PC. AMD says several exciting ‘AI experiences’ are unlocked thanks to the inclusion of the NPU. Here is one demo by AMD showingYoloV8 Object Detectionrunning on a Ryzen AI-powered PC.

AMD Ryzen 8000G Processors for AM5: Details

AMD is calling these next-generation desktop processors capable of extreme PC Gaming. I think that is a little exaggerated, but I do agree with the company’s claim of playing the latest games at Full HD resolution without even having a dedicated graphics card! These Ryzen 8000G processorsareAPUsand nottraditional CPUs.

These new desktop processors come withhigh-performanceintegrated Radeon 700Mgraphics. These Ryzen 8000G Processors are forAM5 socketmotherboards. Previously, AMD has assured its consumers that its AM5 socket will lastbeyond 2025, so we will see even more processors (perhaps the Ryzen 9000 series) appear later, supporting the same motherboards.

Whenever AMD releases a new APU processor, it balances out the CPU and GPU performance of that chip. The highest-end processor in the Ryzen 8000G lineup is theAMD Ryzen 7 8700G, launching with Radeon 780M graphics. They have also launched theRyzen 5 8600G (with 760M),along with theRyzen 5 8500Gand an entry-levelRyzen 3 8300G.AMD Ryzen 8000 (AM5)Cores & ThreadsBase / Boost ClockTotal CacheNeural Processing Unit (NPU)TDPPriceRyzen 7 8700G8 cores, 16 threads4.20 GHz / 5.10 GHz24MBYes65W$329Ryzen 5 8600G6 cores, 12 threads4.30 GHz / 5.0 GHz22MBYes65W$229Ryzen 5 8500G6 cores, 12 threads3.50 GHz / 5.0 GHz22MBNo65W$179Ryzen 3 8300G4 cores, 8 threads3.40 GHz / 4.90 GHz12MBNo65WTBDAvailability begins January 31st, 2024 (Source: AMD)

All of the Ryzen 8000G processors will featuredecent graphics performance,especially given their price and the fact that it’s all happening on one processor! As you can see, only the Ryzen 5 8600G & Ryzen 7 8700G get the APU, while other processors don’t.

New AMD Ryzen 5000-Series GT & Ryzen 7 5700X3D for AM4: Details

Speaking of the AMD Ryzen 5000 series, it is still a very popular CPU generation among gamers. AM4 motherboards have been coming for a long time, and even B450 motherboards can support new 3D V-Cache processors such as the previously unveiled Ryzen 7 5800X3D. The 3D V-Cache CPUs have garnered tons of attention from gamers, as they are quite powerful & provide super high-frame rates in games.

Now, AMD has launched aRyzen 7 5700X3Dand also a non-3D Ryzen 7 5700, whichpreviously popped up. This new 3D processor is a bit more affordable (as compared to5800X3D) and has 96MB of L3 Cache to facilitate high performance in gaming.

It is going to be one of the best budget gaming processors to buy in 2024. Apart from this, newRyzen 5000 GTprocessors have come out with slightly upgraded specifications.AMD Ryzen 5000 (AM4)Cores & ThreadsBase & Boost ClockTotal CacheTDPPriceRyzen 7 5700X3D8 cores, 16 threads3.0 GHz / 4.10 GHz100MB105W$249Ryzen 7 57008 cores, 16 threads3.70 GHz / 4.60 GHz20MB65W$175Ryzen 5 5600GT6 cores, 12 threads3.60 GHz / 4.60 GHz19MB65W$140Ryzen 5 5500GT6 cores, 12 threads3.60 GHz/ 4.40 GHz19MB65W$125Availability begins January 31st, 2024 (Source: AMD)
