I was looking forward to these APUs and I'm thinking about an 8600G. But unless size and power requirements are an issue (e.g. small ITX cases vs slightly bigger ones) as soon as you can fit an RX6600 in your budget it's over for these systems. And because DDR5 is still more expensive as well as AM5 (cheapest ITX boards I found in Germany are around 100€ vs 160€) this might work even with the 8600G: Ryzen 5500 is 105€ XFX RX6600 around 215€ Gigabyte A520I 110€ 32GB PC3200 starting under 70€ 500€ compared to 8600G 255€ (I hope that will go down a bit) Asrock A620I 160€ (but not available at the moment in the store I checked) 32GB PC5200 starting at 90€ 505€ Of course you don't have the obvious upgrade path "just add a GPU" with the AM4 system and it's AM4 so you can upgrade the CPU (and the GPU of course) but AM5 will give you much faster CPUs in the future.

My methodology of doing a build is not using entry level ,as if you value a performance youve gotten then a bit newer and stronger would be better suited in a build ,as going a little higher end will result in less times and money getting a build not needed to upgrade as much

I'll stick with my 2400g and 1050ti pc, which as a whole pc, cost me half of what just the 8600g cost. Any processor for the most part, paired with a graphics card still seems to be much better value.

Why not max out graphics for a real test! Everyone wants to know what these can do.

*The PROBLEM with this conclusion...* If you're building a BUDGET gaming rig then you'd build it on AM4 unless you had some specific use case for the CPU (in which case you wouldn't likely get one with LESS CACHE anyway). You aren't concerned with upgradeability. Hardware Unboxed showed that two IDENTICALLY PRICED PC's with different components got way, way more gaming performance on the system using a dedicated graphics card.... do I think budget APU's will make sense at some point for light/medium gaming? Arguably they do NOW if the game specs are pretty LOW. I think DIMINISHING VISUAL RETURNS will have a huge impact. Take a game like Half Life 2 which is a great game. Doesn't need much of a GPU. So it really depends, but I do think we'll see APU's make more and more sense for games that do NOT need the horsepower (i.e. not ray-traced etc).

this is a great build for new gamers starting out .

I feel like the 13400 with the 1650 would be putting down higher numbers in these CPU bound scenarios. And even in this testing, I wouldn't call these competitive with the 1650.

No... I switched from a 5600X + RX6600 + 64GB 3200MHz DDR4 to a 7800X3D + 6000MHz DDR5 (with the same RX6600) Just running on the IGP gave me HALF the performance in games. For the record. Building my own systems since the AMD K6

That doesn’t matter this generation of APU’s

Convert 8th gen intel office PC’s, the SFF ones. They are Super cheap and the RX 6400 with Frame Gen can play virtually anything. Perfect entry gaming PC. Lowest tier.

Currently the APUs are balanced 80% CPU and 20% GPU give or take a few percentage. If they could somehow get that closer to 50/50 they would have the ultimate budget option. These are not terrible but still coming short of the mark.

60 to 80 FPS with game settings at their lowest setting and 1080p is horrific! The 1050's performance is bad enough, but it handily kicks the APU's tails. None of these GPU's should be sought out in 2024.

When APU's can do 1080p on high settings with decent FPS it will be go time...

i5 12400f + gtx 1650 is cheaper than a 8600g build so...

A used AMD rx5700 is $150 or less on ebay. Or spend $100 for a used rx580 8gb. A new AMD 5600x cpu is $150 on Amazon. So $250-300 covers you for 1080p gaming.

I guess this APUs will be much better in 2-3 years when they get cheaper, specially in third world countries where gpus are too expensive to afford for a new build

i love APUS too!

Also, remember the 780m can suprsingly handle raytracing

Man guys please broaden your testing suite. Those games are not that representative of budget gaming benchmarks people are looking for. I still love your channel though.

Intel apu+ nvidia gpu is still the best combo....

Would the 8700g cost 250-280€ it would be a no brainer but yea with 350€ its just to expensive.

@@gruiadevil Still, 8700G is cut down 7700. It will not match it even if jesus wakes up again and commands it so. Same with other G processors, if you not completely broke or have at least some graphical card - its not for you. At all. Unless you one of those madmans, that insist on having PC fit in a shoulder bag (get a laptop or something ffs).

Well if your gpu goes off

Ok ok 7600x or 8600g? Which is best

There we go AMDip caught on camera 9:09-9:12 goes 70+ fps drops to 50ish for 1 second and back to 70ish fps

Is that a 1650 super ? Instead of a 1650

Super disappointed on these APUs. Last year I picked up a 7600X and RX6600 for $379 + tax.

The 5600G was good, it just did not support PCI-E 4.0 but only PC-E 3.0 . The 8600G and 8500G are very bad, they only support PCI-E X8 and PCI-E X4. Very bad choice for a gamer that want a igpu for a start and to move to a more capable gpu later. Don't buy them.. if they had PCI-E X16 they would have been good. Also the 760m,740m, 780m is old. I expected RDNA 3 igpu. Very dissapointing APUS.

ryzen 5 8600g best price for cpu and igpu

New AMD APUs cannot beat their own Chinese "580", thus they lose budget battle. Still, decent option if you need powerful CPU and want some light gaming on the side.

8700g doesn't make a lot of sense at its current price but the 8600g actually does make a lot of sense.

I5 11gen + rtx 1650 = 250$ gives nearly twice the performance than 300$ amd 8600g APU

Through the window to the wall, till the sweat drips down my balls.

yes they kill an a entry level gpu, but at this time the price range building an cheap am4 with gtx 1650 is still solid options
