AMD Ryzen 5 8500G Desktop Processor with Integrated Graphics

The AMD Ryzen 5 8500G brings powerful desktop computing with its hybrid Zen 4 architecture, combining 2 Zen 4 cores and 4 Zen 4c cores for a total of 6 cores and 12 threads. Built on TSMC's 4nm FinFET process, this AM5 processor delivers a 3.5GHz base clock with Zen 4 cores reaching 4.1GHz base and boosting up to 5.0GHz for demanding workloads.

Integrated Radeon 740M Graphics

Featuring AMD Radeon 740M graphics with 4 compute units running at 2800MHz, the 8500G eliminates the need for a discrete graphics card in many scenarios. The integrated GPU supports DirectX 12, DisplayPort 2.1 with UHBR10, HDMI 2.1, and can drive up to 4 displays simultaneously. Maximum supported resolutions include 7680x4320 at 60Hz, 3840x2160 at 240Hz, and 1920x1080 at 600Hz. Hardware acceleration for H.264, H.265, VP9, and AV1 codecs ensures smooth video playback and encoding.

Memory and Connectivity

This processor supports DDR5 memory across 2 channels with speeds up to DDR5-5200 for dual-rank configurations, accommodating up to 256GB total system memory. The AM5 platform provides 14 native PCIe lanes (10 usable) with PCIe 4.0 support, 2 USB 4.0 ports at 40Gbps, 2 USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports at 10Gbps, and NVMe support with RAID0 and RAID1 configurations.

Performance and Overclocking

With 22MB total cache (6MB L2 + 16MB L3), the Ryzen 5 8500G handles multitasking efficiently at a 65W TDP with configurable TDP range of 45-65W. The processor is unlocked for overclocking and supports AMD EXPO memory overclocking, Precision Boost Overdrive, Curve Optimizer voltage offsets, and AMD Ryzen Master software for enthusiast tuning. AMD SmartAccess Memory and AMD FreeSync technologies enhance gaming performance.

Package Contents and Compatibility

The processor includes the Wraith Stealth cooler for thermal management with a maximum operating temperature of 95°C. Compatible with Windows 11, Windows 10, RHEL, and Ubuntu operating systems (64-bit), the AM5 socket ensures compatibility with current motherboard platforms and future upgrade paths.
