AMD's latest Ryzen 58500G "HawkPoint" APU has been leaked on Geekbench, showing a nice performance improvement compared to the 5600G. Like the Ryzen 78700G chip that was leaked a few days ago, the AMD Ryzen 58500G is also the "HawkPoint" APU that will be released on the AM5 desktop platform. The chip uses Zen4 core architecture and RDNA3 graphics architecture.
Unlike the first two SKUs (8700G/8600G), Ryzen58500G and Ryzen38300G will use A2 chips composed of Zen4 and Zen4C cores.
In terms of specifications, AMD Ryzen 58500G has 6 cores and 12 threads. The chip has a base clock frequency of 3.55GHz and a boost clock frequency of 5.0GHz, which is fully consistent with previously leaked information. In addition, it also has 16MB L3 cache and 6MB L2 cache. 8500G is equipped with Radeon740MGPU, which has 4 computing units and a frequency of 2800MHz. The chip was tested on MaxsunB650M motherboard, equipped with 32GBDDR5 memory. Memory speeds are not listed.
In terms of CPU performance, the single-core test score of AMD Ryzen58500G "HawkPoint" APU is 1965 points, and the multi-core test score is 8768 points. Compared to the Geekbench5 scores of the AMD Ryzen 55600G, the 8500G is 11% faster in the multi-threaded test and 36% faster in the single-threaded test.
The computing unit of Radeon740MiGPU is twice that of Radeon710M, which is enough to handle e-sports games and some AAA games using upscaling technology, but for users who want better graphics performance on iGPU, Radeon760M/780M on Ryzen8600G/8700GAPU is a better choice.
With AMD's 2024 CES conference approaching, we will likely see more information about these APUs in a few days. According to previous reports, AMD Ryzen 8000G "HawkPoint" APU is expected to be available on January 31.
