Ryzen 7 8700G iGPU Benchmark Leaked – Radeon 780M Integrated Graphics Come Close to GTX 1650

Desktop iGPUs (integrated GPUs) are giving low end graphics cards a run for their money.

A third party has revealed a set of Geekbench 6 Vulkan and OpenCL benchmarks reportedly conducted on the upcoming Ryzen 7 8700G. This yet to be released CPU features AMD’s flagship integrated graphics, the RDNA 3 Radeon 780M. The test results of the 780M iGPU come close to Nvidia’s GTX 1650, which is the company’s entry level gaming card. Don’t let entry level fool you either, the GTX 1650 is based on the RTX 2050 without the Ray Tracing and Tensor cores, so it still is able to run most of the games on the market.

Reportedly, the Ryzen 7 8700G scored 35,427 points in Geekbench 6.2.2’s Vulkan benchmark and 29,244 points in the OpenCL benchmark. Making the 8700G 13-15% higher than its smaller brother, the 8600G. This also put the 8700G within 5% of the performance of the GTX 1650 from Nvidia.

In terms of specification, the Radeon 780M contained within the Ryzen 7 8700G totes 12 compute units (CUs) with a reported 2.9GHz clock speed. It is worth noting that the speed of memory in the system will affect the iGPU performance as it is shared between the GPU and CPU.

As with all benchmarks, the results should be taken with a grain of salt. Synthetic benchmarks do not accurately depict real world performance, although they are a good tool to see the rough hierarchy of performance.

It is suspected that AMD will unveil their 8700G and the rest of the Ryzen 8000 lineup during CES 2024. Once that happens, we will know the actual performance of these chips. If the benchmarks results translate into real world gaming performance, the 8700G would provide decent 1080P gaming virtually equivalent to Nvidia’s entry-level discrete GPUs. This would be an impressive accomplishment for AMD’s integrated graphics if they can pull it off in the real world.
