AMD detailed its new Ryzen 8000G AM5 desktop APUs at CES 2024, the place we are able to anticipate the Ryzen 8700G and Ryzen 8600G primarily based on the Phoenix 1 dies, whereas the Ryzen 8600G and Ryzen 8300G are primarily based on the Phoenix 2 dies.

We’re studying that the Phoenix 2-based Ryzen 8600G and 8300G will likely be restricted of their reminiscence channels and PCIe lanes, which is perhaps a difficulty, even for a finances platform. GIGABYTE’s new B650E AORUS ELITE X AX ICE motherboard and Ryzen 8000G Phoenix 1 dies with PCIe 4.0 x8 for discrete graphics playing cards and PCIe 4.0 x4 prepared for M.2 NVMe SSDs.
AMD’s new Ryzen 8700G and 8600G are primarily based on their Phoenix 1 dies, so we have now dual-channel DDR5 reminiscence help, which is healthier than the single-channel DDR5 reminiscence help on Phoenix 2 dies. Each dies help as much as 256GB of DDR5 reminiscence, which is not too shabby for mid-range desktop APUs.
Phoenix 2 has gimped reminiscence and PCIe lane help, whereas AMD consists of simply 14 complete (10 usable) lanes, in comparison with Phoenix 1 dies with dual-channel reminiscence help and 20 complete (14 usable) lanes.

AMD has beforehand confirmed off its Ryzen 8700G working a Radeon RX 7900 XTX discrete graphics card on PCIe 4.0 x8 lanes, with single-channel DDR5 reminiscence with first rate efficiency. However… Phoenix 2 dies are gimped and can cut back efficiency in numerous areas (RAM, SSDs, general efficiency, and extra).
