Right alongside Intel’s new 14th gen CPUs, AMD has also unveiled a diverse lineup of CPU models spanning two generations of sockets, along with a brand new dedicated GPU for gamers.
Starting with the Ryzen 8000G series of Accelerated Processing Units (APUs) powered by the Zen 4 architecture, AMD is promising a significant leap in performance. What sets these APUs apart is their integrated graphics, a feature that might raise an eyebrow considering that modern AMD CPUs already come equipped with integrated graphics.

The Ryzen 8000G series features four distinct models with varying core counts, starting with the 4-core 8300G and going up to the formidable 8-core 8700G. These APUs include Radeon 700M graphics, promising a playable 1080p gaming experience, even on demanding titles. Additionally, the 8000G series introduces an integrated Neural Processing Unit (NPU) for AI acceleration, paving the way for enhanced AI-powered applications.
AMD is also showing commitment to its AM4 platform by releasing four new CPU models. Among them, the Ryzen 7 5700X3D stands out, offering 96MB of 3D V-Cache and catering to users seeking optimal performance. Furthermore, the Ryzen 7 5700, previously reserved for system integrators, is now available for the DIY market. This processor, derived from the now-discontinued 5700G, comes without integrated graphics.

AMD has expanded its offerings with the launch of the Ryzen 5 5600GT and 5500GT processors. The Ryzen 5 5600GT bears a striking resemblance to the now-discontinued 5600G. However, it distinguishes itself by sporting higher CPU clock speeds. On the other hand, the Ryzen 5500GT closely resembles the 5600G, with only subtle differences that set it apart.

AMD has also introduced a new desktop graphics card – the Radeon RX 7600 XT. This graphics card has a higher base and boost clock, but what truly catches the eye is the doubled memory capacity, now boasting an impressive 16GB. Despite the improvements, the Radeon RX 7600 XT maintains a competitive price point, coming in at $329, just $60 more than the RX 7600.
The new Ryzen APUs will be available on January 31 while the RX 7600 XT will go for sale on January 24.
