AMD's upcoming Ryzen AI 5 435G Desktop APU has leaked out, showcasing benchmark performance similar to Ryzen 8000G APUs.
AMD Ryzen AI 400 Desktop APUs Bring The Latest Architectures To AM5 Platforms, Ryzen AI 5 435G Shows Similar Performance As 8600G
The AMD Ryzen AI 400 Desktop APUs will be launching soon, bringing up to 8 "Zen 5" CPU cores, up to 8 "RDNA 3.5" GPU cores, and a 50 TOPS NPU. They don't feature the higher-end Strix/Gorgon specifications such as up to 12 "Zen 5" CPU cores, and 16 RDNA 3.5 GPU cores, but they do feature a modern processor & graphics architecture versus the older Ryzen 8000G family.
In the latest leak, we get a taste of the entry-level AMD Ryzen AI 5 435G, which packs 6 cores, 12 threads, a base clock of 2 GHz, and a boost clock of up to 4.5 GHz. The chip carries 14 MB of total cache, and the GPU portion includes the Radeon 840M with just 4 "RDNA 3.5" compute units. This chip retains the 50 AI TOPS NPU and comes in a 65W standard TDP design, which can be configured down to 35W.
As for the performance, the Ryzen AI 5 435G was tested on a B850M motherboard from a Chinese Vendor, Jginyue. The motherboard was paired with 32 GB of DDR5 memory, though the speeds are not confirmed, plus, the chip seemed to be running at lower clocks, with Geekbench reporting a peak of 4094 MHz. That is much lower than the official 4.5 GHz boost clocks.
PassMark CPU Benchmark
The benchmark reported 2620 points in the single-core and 10,594 points in the multi-core tests. The chip can be compared to the Ryzen 5 8600G, which scored 2493 points in single-core and 10,857 points in the multi-core tests. The difference is that the 8600G operates at much higher clock speeds despite featuring 6 "Zen 4" cores. So once again, we can point out the inconsistent clock speeds of the 435G as the reason for such a low score.
We expect the final performance to be higher than the Ryzen 5 8600G, and should come close to the Ryzen 5 9600 CPU, which is a standard 6-core "Zen 5" SKU. The AMD Ryzen AI 400 Desktop APUs will initially be sold through OEMs, but there's a likelihood that we will see these chips rolling out as DIY-Only options, too.
