AM5 Desktop APUs benefits
AMD has unveiled the Ryzen 7000G desktop APUs, which are based on the Phoenix family, and the Ryzen 8000 laptop APUs, which are based on the Hawk Point family.
APUs for AMD Ryzen 7000G desktop and Ryzen 8000 laptops have been spotted: mainstream models with six and four cores for AM5 and FP7 platforms.
Harukaze5719 has discovered information about AMD’s forthcoming APUs for desktop and laptop computers through an OPN leak. Three Ryzen 7000G Desktop APUs in AM5 flavors and three Ryzen 8000 Laptop APUs in FP7R2 flavors are revealed in the OPN list.
The AMD Ryzen Desktop APU family is the first in the lineup of APUs based on the most recent AM5 socket, as we have already learned from reports. The Phoenix family, which has already been made available for the mobile market, was to include the APU family. Both PRO and Non-PRO versions of the Ryzen 5 7500G and Ryzen 3 7300G CPUs would be available in the lineup.
Desktop AMD Ryzen 7000G APUs:
| APU NAME | ARCHITECTURE | CORE / THREADS | CLOCKS (BASE / MAX) | GPU | TDP | PRICE |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ryzen 5 7500G | Zen 4 / RDNA 3 | 6 / 12 | TBD | TBD | 65W | TBD |
| Ryzen 3 7300G | Zen 4 / RDNA 3 | 4 / 8 | TBD | TBD | 65W | TBD |
Available in 100-000001183-00 (PRO) and 100-00000931 (Non-PRO) versions, the AMD Ryzen 5 7500G APU has a 65W TDP and is expected to sustain 6 cores and 12 threads. The 100-00000187-00 (PRO) and 100-000001186 (Non-PRO) variants of the Ryzen 3 7300G are listed, and it is expected to have 4 cores and 8 threads with a 65W TDP.
The Ryzen 3 8440U (4 Core / 8 Thread) and Ryzen 5 8540U (6 Core / 12 Thread) processors are among the AMD Ryzen 8000 “Hawk Point” APUs for laptops, which will be an upgrade of the current Ryzen 7040 “Phoenix” APUs. With a 28W TDP rating, both APUs will be compatible with the FP7 and FP7R2 platforms. These APUs would use a similarly hybrid Zen 4 + Zen 4C arrangement and should be fairly close to the current Ryzen 3 7440U and Ryzen 5 7540U chips.
These are merely initial SKUs; further SKUs for the AMD Ryzen 7000G and Ryzen 8000 families are likely to come. The AM5 Desktop APUs, with their latest RDNA 3 core architecture, may offer superb integrated graphics performance and the CPU power of the Zen 4 at a lower price point, so it’s fantastic to see an upgrade on this front.
A formal announcement is anticipated by year’s end or at CES in 2024. The Hawk Point APU family is anticipated to be revealed at CES 2024 and will be used in a number of designs, such as the soon-to-come 2-in-1 Windows tablets.
