AMD® Ryzen™ 5 8500G

The AMD Ryzen 5 8500G is a desktop processor with 6 cores and 12 threads, built on the 2x Zen 4 , 4x Zen 4c architecture (4 nm process). It launched in Jan 2024. Clocks run from 3.5 GHz base to 5.0 GHz boost. A 16-MB L3 cache backs the cores (3.7 MB per core). It addresses DDR5 memory up to 256 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the AM5 socket and exposes PCIe 4.0 (14 lanes). Rated TDP is 65 W.

The AMD Ryzen 5 8500G scores 21,420 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 21,286 for engineering performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 3,570 per core, 1,785 per thread and 330 per watt. Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the AMD Ryzen 5 8500G scores 62,639 in integer math, 38,935 in floating-point math, 248,147 in compression, 14,121 in cryptography, 1,261 in physics simulation, 18,958 in vector SIMD, 84 in the prime sieve and 29,408 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 6% above in integer math, 15% below in floating-point math, 9% above in compression, 23% above in cryptography, 16% above in physics simulation, 22% above in vector SIMD, 25% above in the prime sieve and 30% above in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The AMD Ryzen 5 8500G has 6 physical cores and runs 12 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.50 GHz and boosts up to 5.00 GHz.

The AMD Ryzen 5 8500G is a desktop processor, belongs to the AMD Ryzen 5 family, uses the 2x Zen 4 , 4x Zen 4c architecture, carries the codename Zen 4 (Phoenix) and is manufactured on a 4 nm process. It launched in Jan 2024.

The AMD Ryzen 5 8500G has 384 KB of L1 cache, 6 MB of L2 cache and 16 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 22.4 MB of cache, or 3.73 MB per core. Each core has 1 MB of private L2 cache.

The AMD Ryzen 5 8500G has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 384 KB, L2 at 6 MB and L3 at 16 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 72% of the cache listed here.
