AMD Ryzen AI 5 435G APU breaks cover in early benchmarks — six-core Zen 5 chip goes head-to-head with the Ryzen 5 8600G for budget PC buildersThe Ryzen AI 5 435G shows similar performance to the existing Ryzen 5 8600G in new Geekbench 6 benchmarks.#hardwarehttps://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/amd-ryzen-ai-5-435g-apu-breaks-cover-in-early-benchmarks-six-core-zen-5-chip-goes-head-to-head-with-the-ryzen-5-8600g-for-budget-pc-builders

...I feel like that @tomshardware article could've made the point a little more clearly that the Ryzen 435G is just about equal in CPU performance to the 8600G with half the L3 cache and a 500 MHz slower boost clock on the same process node. that's the uplift moving from Zen 4 to Zen 5.#AMD #Ryzen #Zen5

I'm a bit less excited about the G/GE series chips these days since they're no longer homogenous (these days they're a mix of full-fat and compact cores, although this is less heterogenous than Intel's chips which have entirely different microarchitectures between core types) and since AMD isn't increasing the L3 this generation... but I admit that my use case - #1LPC Proxmox servers - is not their target niche, given that they spend a ton of die space on a pretty decent GPU which, at least as of Zen 3, can't be passed thru to a VM.

...and given the 435G vs 8600G performance, it could be argued that AMD was quite logical in not increasing L3 this generation, they clearly didn't need to. but I wish they would've. having a good iGPU has always been a higher priority for the G/GE chips though.
