Designed for the AM5 socket, it supports DDR5 memory and comes with the efficient Wraith Stealth cooler, making it an ideal choice for budget-conscious professionals and gamers seeking solid performance and future upgradeability without the immediate need for a dedicated GPU. ## Description With AMD Radeon 740M graphics built-in, the Ryzen 5 8500G boasts the fastest PC processor graphics in its class so you can game without spending money on a graphics card. Review: Solid for the price, not a GPU replacement - Decent little APU, not super strong, but able to handle some fairly cpu intense games. 7 days to die (with upscaling and frame generation) is pretty playable at high settings (1080P) Definitely some artifacts from the frame gen/upscaling, but playable. For the price it’s not bad, but it is not a stand in for a dedicated GPU. Unless you play at low settings. Good for budget builds, and if you add a dedicated GPU it seems to perform fairly well if paired with a solid ram set. bonus perk, good for troubleshooting GPU display issues. Review: Affordable and worthy entry into the AM5 platform - Was bought to test out if it is good enough to replace a Ryzen 7 5700G setup. Pro 1: Worth cost of entry to AM5. It essentially matches the Ryzen 7 5700G in performance with less and weaker cores (more on that in the cons). Pro 2: Extremely easy to cool. Pro 3: Decent beginner gaming. It can play AAA games at 1080p w/ low settings ~30 FPS. It can play Indie games at 1080p with mid to high settings depending on the game. Con 1: Not a true Zen 4 CPU because 4 out of 6 cores is smaller and the MHz is cut down. AMD calls them Zen 4c cores. Con 2: Annoying IHS that traps TIM. Pro Tip: The Zen 4c cores are actual desktop CPU cores and not laptop cores like Intel’s E-Cores. *** UPDATE *** No longer recommend as entry to AM5 because the 8600G has dropped significantly in cost. ## Features - PC PERFORMANCE YOU CAN RELY ON - 6 Cores and 12 processing threads, with advanced AMD "Zen 4" architecture - 5.0 GHz Max Boost, unlocked for overclocking, DDR5 support - For the state-of-the-art Socket AM5 platform, upgradable for years to come - AMD Wraith Stealth Cooler Included ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CQ4JV8D5 | | Best Sellers Rank | #39 in Computer CPU Processors | | Brand | AMD | | Color | Gray | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (980) | | Date First Available | January 31, 2024 | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 1.57 x 1.57 x 0.04 inches | | Item Weight | 1.8 ounces | | Item model number | AMD Ryzen™ 5 8500G | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | AMD | | Number of Processors | 6 | | Processor | 3.5 GHz ryzen_5 | | Processor Brand | AMD | | Product Dimensions | 1.57 x 1.57 x 0.04 inches | | RAM | 1 GB | ## Product Details - **Brand:** AMD - **CPU Manufacturer:** AMD - **CPU Model:** Ryzen 5 - **CPU Socket:** Socket AM5 - **CPU Speed:** 3.5 GHz ## Images ![Ryzen 5 8500G 6-Core, 12-Thread Desktop Processor - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51193NWpmHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid for the price, not a GPU replacement *by A***S on September 24, 2025* Decent little APU, not super strong, but able to handle some fairly cpu intense games. 7 days to die (with upscaling and frame generation) is pretty playable at high settings (1080P) Definitely some artifacts from the frame gen/upscaling, but playable.
