Flagship AMD Ryzen 7 8700G's iGPU impresses in maiden Geekbench run

Yesterday, the upper-mid-range AMD Ryzen 5 8600G Hawk Point desktop APU showed up on Geekbench with a Raeon 760M iGPU. It performed more or less on par with its laptop counterparts, although it could stand to benefit from faster memory and relaxed power limits on AM5. Now, the flagship AMD Ryzen 7 8700G has joined the party.

It scores 35,427 on Geekbench 6.2's Vulkan benchmark, effectively outperforming every Radeon 780M-powered device in our benchmark database. Furthermore, it manages this with DDR5 4800 RAM, and The Ryzen 7 8700G's iGPU could punch well above its weight class with faster DDR5 6000 ($112 on Amazon) modules.

In OpenCL, the Radeon 780M scores 29,224 points, not nearly as impressive as its Vulkan showing but well within the parameters of acceptable performance. The "gfx1103" denotation confirms a Phoenix2 die and a 12 CPU iGPU with a maximum clock of 2.9 GHz.

Other AMD Ryzen 7 8700G specs include 8 cores, 16 threads and a base/boost clock of 4.2/5.0 GHz. While not officially confirmed yet, the deluge of Geekbench listings suggests AMD plans to unveil the Ryzen 8000 series Hawk Point APUs soon, presumably in the coming days at CES 2024.
