APAYDAY

Original Coupon Deal

As I mentioned in a Video last week - I have been wanting to pick up one of these new APUs to replicate an ETA Prime video that I saw. At the time the cheapest price I could find was $352… So the APAYDAY code is coming through with a good discount on this occasion…

Turns out I was able to pick up a slightly used 8700G off OCAU for $400 instead, so I'll let this one slide through to the Keeper. But for anyone else out there intrigued by these new APUs… I think the price is either right or getting into the zone of being right.

People judge the value of these APUs based on their iGPU performance. But it is the CPU performance of this chip that is seriously good. If AMD were to sell it for any less… it would cannibalise the sales of their other CPUs.

It is estimated to have equal performance to a Ryzen 5 7500F. I can't verify yet that however I will do some testing of the 8700G vs my 7500F when I receive my APU and it should be interesting to see how they stack up against each other.

  one downside with the 8600G is only PCIe4 and 16mb Cache

    Flip side of that is that you can have a gaming PC in a super tiny foot-print that performs about like a PS4 Pro…

    And no ECC memory support right? Can't really use this in a server build.

      Yeah that one is a real bummer…

  does it perform better than mobile 7840HS for gaming?

    Good Question!
    The 7840HS has a 780M GPU, whereas the 8600G only has 760M… so that indicates to me that maybe not?
    But then I don't know how much power budgets play into the equation… So I'll try see about testing that scenario as well!

    When you include the cost of the more expensive motherboard and RAM, you might be able to get a 12100F + 6600 for a similar price which would be way faster for games.

      Oh yes, for sure. On the flip side - the 8600G is waaay better as a standalone CPU. And it also has AVX-512 instructions - which were cut out of the Alder Lake chips IIRC.
      In fact I read today that the 7000 Ryzen series CPUs are now being snapped up for Crypto-mining - of all things!

        On the flip flip side, a 7600 is waaay better as a standalone CPU due to the extra cache.

          @xrailgun: Yes, but the iGPU in the 7600 really sucks. You struggle just running a 3 monitor desktop with that iGPU..
