Specifications of AMD's Ryzen 8000GE 35W APUs which feature the Zen 4 CPU & RDNA 3 GPU core have been confirmed by ASUS.
ASUS Confirms AMD Ryzen 8000GE 35W APU Specifications, Will Be Available Through System Integrators
AMD officially launched the Ryzen 8000G Desktop APUs a few weeks back which include four SKUs, the Ryzen 7 8700G, Ryzen 5 8600G, Ryzen 5 8500G, and the Ryzen 3 8300G. The first three SKUs were available through DIY and SI channels while the Ryzen 3 8300G is currently only limited to system integrators but a DIY launch is planned later this year. In addition to the Ryzen 8000G parts, AMD's APU family will soon be expanded with the Ryzen 8000GE SKUs too which come in 35W flavors.
Just like the AMD Ryzen 8000G family, the Ryzen 8000GE APUs will have six SKUs including the Ryzen 7 PRO 8700GE, Ryzen 5 PRO 8600GE, Ryzen 5 PRO 8500GE, Ryzen 5 8500G, Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE & the Ryzen 3 8300GE. Only the Ryzen 7 8700G and the Ryzen 5 8600G will be missing out on the Non-PRO GE SKUs.
Starting with the specifications, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8700GE will feature the same core specs but the chip will come clocked at a base frequency of 3.65 GHz which is 550 MHz lower than the Ryzen 7 8700G. The Ryzen 5 PRO 8600GE will feature a base clock of 3.9 GHz which is 450 MHz lower than the Ryzen 5 8600G. The Ryzen 5 PRO 8500GE will feature a 3.4 GHz base frequency which is 150 MHz lower than the Ryzen 5 8500G and the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE will feature a 3.5 GHz base clock which is 50 MHz higher than the Ryzen 3 8300G.
The boost clocks haven't been confirmed nor have the iGPU clocks but a previous leak did point out that at least the boost clocks should match the 8000G SKUs and as such we can also expect them to be tuned slightly to meet the 35W TDP requirements.
These chips will be a great solution for compact Mini PCs and offices that don't require the full power of the G SKUs & still get an amazing package with the Zen 4 and RDNA 3 architecture. The RDNA 3 iGPU onboard these APUs offers the same amount of performance as some of the most popular entry-level discrete GPUs so that's a big plus.
