Ryzen 5 8600G Spec and Price in the United Kingdom

AM56 cores / 12 threads

Released January 31, 2024 ·

A six-core, 12-thread sibling to the 8700G that trades its Radeon 780M for the smaller Radeon 760M, while keeping the same 65W TDP and 16MB of L3 cache. Boost clock lands at 5GHz against the 8700G's 5.1GHz, a modest step down that mirrors the core-count difference between the two. Unlocked for overclocking, it suits budget builds that lean on integrated graphics rather than a discrete card.

Tied 48th of 65 models in the CPU catalog on Boost clock — 3 models share this figure. Tied 61st of 65 models in the CPU catalog on L3 cache — 5 models share this figure.

What owners and reviewers say

Summarised from 2 source(s), reviewed September 13, 2026. A source is counted only where it names this model exactly. How we track prices

Commonly praised

  • The best-value integrated graphics on the market, with good CPU performance in games and an included air cooler.
  • Owners value it as a single-purchase CPU and GPU for light builds, with integrated graphics that handle 1080p gaming and 2D/3D productivity.
  • It runs cool and efficiently at 65W, and owners report low temperatures.
  • Setup is described as straightforward, working in recent AM5 boards with no driver trouble.

Commonly criticised

  • Requires fast memory to make the integrated graphics worthwhile, and value is so-so against a cheap discrete card.
  • Owners say the integrated graphics are not meant for high resolutions, and performance in both CPU and GPU tasks is mid-tier.
  • One owner reports the CPU and board combo would not boot from an MBR-partitioned drive and needed converting to GPT.
