Technically this is a copy of the Ryzen 9 7940HS
New AMD CPUs will retain the AM5 socket, but Intel will again have a replacement. Next-generation desktop processors should be expected in the third quarter of 2024
The AMD Ryzen 7 8700G processor appeared on the Internet for the first time. This is a desktop APU based on Zen 4 architecture, which would be more correctly called Ryzen 7 7700G, but due to its release next year it will already belong to the Ryzen 8000 line.
The processor has eight cores with a frequency of 4.2-5.1 GHz and iGPU Radeon 780. In the Geekbench ONNX test, the new product scores 5255 points, and in the ONNX CPU test the result is 3933 points.
This is slightly more than the mobile Ryzen 9 7940HS, which is logical, since technically they are the same thing, but the desktop new product has the advantage of a higher TDP.
You can expect that in real-world tasks and games, the Ryzen 7 8700G will also be slightly faster than the Ryzen 9 7940HS, but the difference should not be very large. Be that as it may, the Ryzen 7 8700G will offer the most powerful iGPU among desktop processors, since the Radeon 680M is not represented in this segment, and the Radeon 780M will only be released with the new line. Intel has a powerful graphics core only in Meteor Lake, but they are not available in the desktop segment.
