AIDA64

AIDA64 CPU Queen Performance Graph

In Aida64, we are running the CPU Queen test, which is a simple arithmetic test, but does show the difference between core/thread counts as the 5700G is technically faster than the 8600G since it has more cores. The 8700G is 17% faster than the 5700G, and 26% faster than the 8600G.

AIDA64 CPU AES Performance Graph

The CPU AES test tests encryption and is a good test of bandwidth. Here the 8700G is 27% faster than the 5700G and 32% faster than the 8600G.

AIDA64 CPU Zlib Performance Graph

CPU Zlib is also a good test of bandwidth, here the 8700G is 32% faster than the 5700G. The 8600G is great in this test, beating the higher core/thread count of the 5700G by 2%. The difference between the 8700G and 8600G is 30%.

AIDA64 CPU SHA3 Performance Graph

In the CPU SHA3 test, the 8700G is 46% faster than the 5700G and the 8600G is 13% faster. The difference between the 8700G and 8600G is 30%.

SUMMARY

We reviewed the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G and AMD Ryzen 5 8600G and found that they provide a substantial upgrade in performance over the previous generation, with the latest features and current AMD technologies end-to-end. AMD has provided a big performance uplift within the same power envelope as the previous generation, making these new APUs very efficient in what they deliver. Pricing is slightly high for the 8700G, considering a reduction in PCI-Express lanes, but otherwise if you don't need discrete graphics, these APUs provide a complete desktop PC solution.
