The short version
The Ryzen 7 8700G is an eight-core, 16-thread AM5 APU with Radeon 780M integrated graphics and 16 MB of L3 cache. Tom's Hardware calls its integrated GPU gaming unbeatable for budget PCs, but notes limited titles and settings. PCIe is 4.0 with 20 lanes, and AM5 motherboard and DDR5 pricing cut into the savings.

- Radeon 780M integrated graphics tops Tom's Hardware's iGPU charts
- 65 W TDP with configurable 45-65 W
- Eight cores on AM5
- No separate GPU needed for light 1080p gaming
