The highlight of the AMD booth, at least for me, the Ryzen 7 5700 X3D. It may be dressed in the Emperor's new clothes. They didn't have any physical samples here for me to hold, but I'm genuinely stoked on this thing. A new AM4 processor all these years later. It's clocked a little lower than the 5800 X3D that we know and love, but it has the same great 3D VCH. And it comes at a gorgeous dropin replacement for your existing DDR4 platform setup price of $250, making it a no-brainer upgrade for someone who wants to increase their gaming performance, but doesn't want to invest in a whole new motherboard and system memory. I love this move. There's a handful of other new Ryzen 5000 series chips that flesh out their lower-end options. But given they're the only ones they bothered to bring to the show, what AMD really wants to talk about is these new Ryzen 7000 CPUs. But first, let me paint a quick segue to our sponsor. Headphone juice is not something you should be proud of. These are your typical headphones that accumulate heat while you game. Ew. Wiki Cushions add a cooling gel to their cushions to keep your ears sweat free. You can easily replace them on your headset. Check out Wiki Cushions at the link below. In my hand is the Ryzen 7 8700G, which AMD is calling the next step in personal AI processing. From a CPU standpoint, there's nothing to really set it apart from Ryzen 7000 series. I'm looking at eight Zen 4 core, 16 threads, DDR5 memory on the same AM5 platform we're already familiar with. What sets it apart is everything else. Instead of having kind of weak onboard graphics, we're looking at the same RDNA3based onboard graphics that we've seen in AMD's mobile chips that power devices like the ROG Ally. So, behind me, you can see Starfield and Balders's Gate 3 running on this chip at okay, admittedly low details, but 1080p 60fps. The games are freaking running without graphics cards. So, I think it's fair to say, at least if AMD's performance numbers are to be believed, don't worry, we'll be validating them later, that this is the final nail in the coffin of those entry-level graphics cards that have always offered a really terrible price toerformance ratio, but now just don't need to exist at all. Moving down to the 8600G, you get some expected reductions in spec. two fewer CPU cores, four fewer GPU cores, but that same AI NPU processor that we're kind of waiting for software to make use of, but hey, it could come in handy someday. And then as you make your way further down, things get very interesting. The 8500G has six cores just like the 8600G, but two of them are traditional Zen 4 cores, while four of them are Zen 4C's. But before you go, gee, that sounds an awful lot like Intel's hybrid architecture. It's not quite the same. Zen 4C is architecturally the same as Zen 4 and should have the same performance at the same clock speed, but the difference is that they're crammed in tighter, meaning that they tend not to turbo up as high. So, there is an expected reduction in performance. Also, the 8500G doesn't have the AI processor and has a lesser GPU. Rounding out the lineup is another no-show, the 8300G, which has only one traditional Zen 4 core and three Zen 4C cores. I'm going to be really curious to see how that thing performs. One thing I know I'm not going to like is the name. I don't see how upgrading the onboard graphics and tacking on an AI processor sometimes necessitates an 8000 series, but I guess, you know, sometimes you run out of numbers and you just got to kind of increase the series. Except no, you don't have to do that. You can tack on letters like they've done with the 7600 XT. This is a pretty significant upgrade to the existing 7600. Sort of. While you won't find any increase to its stream processor count or compute unit count, there is a bump to clock speeds with the corresponding power bump. And perhaps most importantly, an increase from 8 gigs of GDDDR6 memory to 16 gigs of GDDR6 memory, which as we've seen from our benchmarking of this card, can make a pretty big difference in games that require it. There's a couple other little things to cover. The support for DisplayPort 2.1 UHBR10 is now mandatory rather than being optional like it was with the 7600. And the price is 330 bucks, meaning that you're looking at a pretty darn good 1440p gaming experience, even in demanding games like Starfield for a pretty reasonable price. This is running at 1440p, right? Low, but yes. Are your headphones cushions hot like a tiny steam room? Stop steaming your ears like your broccoli.
