Overclockers Boost Ryzen 7 8700G iGPU to 3.3GHz, Lower CPU Temperatures by 25°C

Overclockers Pieter "SkatterBencher" Plaisier and Roman "Der8auer" Hartung have been delving into AMD's new Ryzen 7 8700G, and they've made some notable progress. SkatterBencher focused on pushing the integrated graphics unit (iGPU) within the CPU, which happens to be a Radeon 780M.

You might recognize that GPU because it's the same iGPU found in both the Ryzen 7000 Mobile series processors and the Ryzen Z1 SoC, primarily designed for gaming handheld consoles. Devices like the ASUS ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go utilize this chip. On paper, the Radeon 780M in the 8700G boasts a default boost clock of 2.9GHz and is based on the more power-efficient 4nm process node from TSMC. Plus, it supports FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution).

SkatterBencher achieved an impressive feat by pushing the boost clock of the Radeon 780M within the 8700G to 3.3GHz. However, it's worth noting that using the chipset's Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) alone allows overclocking to 3.15GHz, which is only 50MHz higher. In this instance, they set the voltage to just 1.25V.

Unfortunately, SkatterBencher didn't share the overclocking results of the 8700G and its iGPU running at 3.3GHz. Instead, they shared the numbers achieved from running the latter at 3.15GHz, with the highest score showcased in the AI Benchmark.

On the other hand, over at Team Der8auer, the esteemed German overclocker took a different approach. This task was easier than with other Ryzen CPUs, as the 8700G uses thermal compound instead of solder like other processors.

Additionally, they manually set all cores to run at 5GHz. The outcome was impressive, with the 8700G running at 60°C, which was 20°C cooler than the stock temperature before Der8auer removed the lid and switched out the thermal compound for liquid metal.
