AMD Ryzen 7000G “Phoenix” AM5 Desktop APUs & Ryzen 8000 “Hawk Point” APUs Revealed

AMD's upcoming Ryzen 7000G Desktop APUs based on Phoenix and Ryzen 8000 Laptop APUs based on Hawk Point families have been revealed.

Information regarding AMD's upcoming desktop and laptop APUs comes from Harukaze5719 who has spotted the chips within an OPN leak. The OPN list reveals three Ryzen 7000G Desktop APUs in AM5 flavors and three Ryzen 8000 Laptop APUs in FP7R2 flavors.

Starting with the AMD Ryzen Desktop APU family, we know from earlier reports that the red team was preparing an APU lineup based on its latest AM5 socket. The APU family was going to be part of the Phoenix family which is already released for the mobile segment. The lineup would feature both PRO & Non-PRO flavors and include the Ryzen 5 7500G and the Ryzen 3 7300G chips.

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500G APU is listed in 100-000001183-00 (PRO) and 100-00000931 (Non-PRO) flavors, featuring a 65W TDP and should maintain 6 cores with 12 threads. The Ryzen 3 7300G is listed in 100-00000187-00 (PRO) and 100-000001186 (Non-PRO) flavors and should adopt a 65W TDP with 4 cores / 8 threads.

The AMD Ryzen 8000 "Hawk Point" APUs for laptops which will be a refresh of the existing Ryzen 7040 "Phoenix" APUs are also listed and include the Ryzen 3 8440U (4 Core / 8 Thread) & the Ryzen 5 8540U (6Core / 12 Thread) chips. Both APUs are rated at a TDP of 28W and will feature support on the FP7/FP7R2 platforms. These APUs should be very similar to the existing Ryzen 3 7440U and Ryzen 5 7540U chips and would also utilize a similarly hybrid Zen 4 + Zen 4C configuration.

Now these are just preliminary SKUs and we can expect even more SKUs within the AMD Ryzen 7000G and Ryzen 8000 families. It is good to see an update on the AM5 Desktop APU front as the chips can be a nice budget alternative, offering Zen 4's CPU prowess and great integrated graphics performance thanks to the newest RDNA 3 core architecture.

We can expect a formal reveal by the end of this year or at CES 2024. As for the Hawk Point APU family, they are expected to be unveiled at CES 2024 and will be adopted in various designs including upcoming 2-in-1 Windows Tablets.
