Sakhtafzarmag , an Iranian Media Outlet claims to have the specifications and release date for the Ryzen 8000G lineup. Moreover, the leak also encompasses a few AM4 products, which isn’t all that surprising since previous leaks already indicate new Ryzen 7 5700X3D and Ryzen 5 5500X3D chips.
AMD Ryzen 8000G: APUs for AM5
The reported Ryzen 8000G series consists of two versions, one with the Pheonix 1 die, and the other with Phoenix 2 . All these CPUs also include their respective PRO counterparts, which we will not go over since they are similar in terms of specifications.
The Phoenix 1 flagship, the Ryzen 7 8700G , features 8 full Zen4 cores alongside 16 threads and a boost clock of up to 5.1GHz . The slightly cut-down Ryzen 5 8600G packs 6 cores / 12 threads and clocks at a maximum of 5GHz . Both APUs come with a default 45W / 65W TDP, as specified by the G-suffix.

Moving over to the Phoenix 2 variations, these APUs host both Zen4 and Zen4C-dense cores. From this series, we have the Ryzen 5 8500G (6 cores / 12 threads) and the Ryzen 3 8300G (4 cores / 8 threads). AMD has further segmented these offerings into G (45W/65W) and GE (35W) versions.
To demonstrate the iGPU performance, we have the following graph going over the synthetic scores of the Ryzen 7 8700G. As shown, at worst, the RDNA3-equipped iGPU is around 30-40% faster than last-gen. This lead increases to as high as 250% in 3DMark FireStrike .

Since synthetic tests aren’t the be-all and end-all of performance evaluation, let’s sift over the gaming tests as well, which factor in driver optimization as well. CS:GO sees a neat 50% uplift with the new Ryzen 7 8700G.
Other popular e-sports and even AAA titles surprisingly perform much better with RDNA3 , but this is almost public information as Ryzen 7 7840HS mini-PCs and laptops are readily available.

Release Date
As for the release date, the leak suggests that AMD will launch the Ryzen 7 8700G, the Ryzen 5 8600G, and the Ryzen 3 8500G on the 31st of January . Likewise, in correspondence to a leak before, there are plans for a Ryzen 7 5700X3D with 8 cores / 16 threads but slower frequencies than the 5800X3D .
And if that wasn’t enough, the site claims that AMD will also launch an entirely new GT series for AM4 . This lineup currently includes the Ryzen 5 5600GT and the Ryzen 5 5500GT and will launch in Q1 2024 . Lastly, there is also a Ryzen 7 5700 NPU chipset that will be available by the end of January .
