AMD Ryzen 7 8700G AM5 Processor - 8 Core, Radeon 780M, 65W
The AMD Ryzen 7 8700G AM5 Processor is a desktop CPU with integrated Radeon 780M graphics built in, suited to PC builders who want to game or create content without a discrete graphics card. Its 8-core, 16-thread design based on Zen 4 architecture handles both everyday computing and demanding workloads, while AMD Ryzen AI adds a dedicated on-chip AI engine for AI-accelerated tasks.
Why this product
Integrated Radeon 780M graphics included
The Radeon 780M GPU is built directly into the processor, so it can drive a display and run games without a separate graphics card installed.
8 cores and 16 threads on Zen 4
Zen 4 architecture delivers strong single-core and multi-core performance for gaming, content creation, and multitasking workloads.
Boosts up to 5.1 GHz automatically
Precision Boost 2 technology raises clock speeds on demand, with a maximum boost of up to 5.1 GHz on lightly threaded tasks.
Fully unlocked for overclocking
The multiplier is unlocked and AMD EXPO memory overclocking, Precision Boost Overdrive, and Curve Optimizer Voltage Offsets are all supported.
Dedicated on-chip AI engine
AMD Ryzen AI provides up to 16 TOPS of dedicated AI processing, separate from the CPU cores and GPU.
Wraith SPIRE cooler in the box
A Wraith SPIRE thermal solution is included in the retail package, so no additional cooler purchase is required to get started.

- Configurable TDP can be set between 45 W and 65 W; confirm your motherboard supports cTDP adjustment if you intend to use the lower power mode.
- Not compatible with AM4 or any earlier AMD socket motherboards.
Best for
- Compact or budget builds: the built-in Radeon 780M removes the need to budget for a discrete GPU to get a functional gaming or productivity system.
- Content creators and multitaskers: 8 cores and 16 threads with Zen 4 architecture handle video editing, streaming, and heavy multitasking alongside gaming.
- Overclockers and tuners: the unlocked multiplier combined with AMD EXPO, Precision Boost Overdrive, and Curve Optimizer gives extensive headroom for manual tuning.
- AI workload users: the dedicated Ryzen AI engine delivers up to 16 TOPS for AI-accelerated applications without leaning on CPU or GPU resources.
- Builders who want a complete package: the included Wraith SPIRE cooler means fewer components to source separately.
Trade-offs
- Discrete GPU users chasing maximum graphics fidelity: integrated graphics share system resources and do not match the output of a dedicated mid-range or high-end graphics card.
- Existing AM4 platform owners: the AM5 socket requirement means a new motherboard is necessary, making it unsuitable as a drop-in upgrade from an AM4 system.
- DDR4 memory users: it supports DDR5 UDIMM only, so existing DDR4 kits cannot be reused.
- Low-power or fanless builds: the 65 W default TDP (minimum 45 W with cTDP) is not suited to passively cooled or very constrained power envelopes.
