AMD Ryzen 8700G APU’s 780M iGPU is upgraded to 3.15GHz.

The process of overclock both iGPU and system RAM can result in significant performance benefits.

At CES, AMD revealed the first Zen 4 APUs based on its AM5 desktop platform. Consumers are merely now starting to test out such low-cost chips. They are AMD’s most recent entry-level CPUs, including Zen 4 CPU cores and RDNA 3 animations. These are design for moderate 1080p gaming without a standalone GPU. A expert overclocker demonstrated how to push the processor to next level by manually upgrading it to 37% higher efficiency.

Famously overclocked Skatterbencher has provided a detailed overclocked guideline for the Radeon 780M embedded GPU included in the Ryzen 8700G. The guide reveals that there is plenty of headroom remaining in the iGPU. As the famed overclocker managed to boost it to 3,150MHz from 2,881MHz in standard trim. Deliberately overclocking the CPU cores and raising the RAM speed to 8,000MHz increased total performance by 37%. These levels are rarely reachable on a desktop CPU without the usage of liquid nitrogen.

Overclocking Tecniques AMD Ryzen 8700G

According to Tom’s Hardware, Skatterbencher evaluated a variety of overclocking techniques. It includes activating BIOS options and manually adjusting, and demonstrated the results in benchmarks. The most basic technique of overclocking is to enable AMD’s built-in overclocking features. These Features known as PBO and EXPO, in the BIOS and consider it a day. This “flip a switch” strategy, he gain a 15% rise in performance. While only overclocking the iGPU produce a 22 percent improvement in efficiency. This demonstrates that you are not require to overclock everything to get significant benefits.

Overclocking the iGPU involves turning the toggles in the BIOS for PBO and Expo. As well manually tweaking the CPU, iGPU, and memory clock speeds and voltage. This sort of experience is not for everybody. Skatterbencher discovere that the iGPU used 50W in stock configuration but up to 156W when properly accelerated. Most air conditioners couldn’t handle this much temperature. Skatterbencher employs a bespoke EK cooling loop to achieve this degree of overclocking. Anything like that would make little sense for a “budgetary” CPU, when the cooling is more expensive than the CPU.
