AMD Ryzen 5 Phoenix 8600G BOX (100-100001237BOX)

A family of mid-range 6-core AMD processors built on the all-new AMD Zen 4 microarchitecture (codenamed Phoenix). Ryzen 5 Phoenix series processors include the 8400F, 8500G, and 8600G. They are based on Zen 4 architecture and are designed to provide high-performance computing power with enhanced graphics capabilities thanks to the integration of RDNA 3 graphics. Like the previous generation of Ryzen Phoenix processors, the 8000 series is designed to work with DDR5 RAM, supports AMD EXPO technology and is designed for installation in motherboards with the AMD AM5 socket, which AMD announced in 2022 as a replacement for the outdated AM4 socket.

The cores support multi-threading technology, which allows each core to simultaneously perform two threads of calculations, thereby increasing the overall performance of the processor. Thanks to its optimized architecture, Ryzen 5 Phoenix delivers more than a 20% increase in single-core performance compared to previous generation Ryzen counterparts. The new platform is designed for a wide range of consumers—from computer enthusiasts and gamers to creative authors and developers.

Gamers should be attracted to versions of the Ryzen 5 Phoenix chips with integrated Radeon 740M/Radeon 760M graphics, the capabilities of which are quite sufficient for modern games at 1080p resolution with an acceptable level of performance and average graphics quality. In fact, we are talking about the performance level of a discrete video card GeForce GTX 1050, but with support for the AMD FSR upscaler and Fluid Motion Frames generation. Special mention should be made of the built-in XDNA AI neural unit, which performs low-intensity AI tasks in the background, consuming less energy than if the task were solved by a CPU, GPU, or computed in a cloud service.
