Desktop processor AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8500G 3.5 GHz, 6 cores, 12 threads, 16 MB L3, Socket AM5, integrated Radeon 740M

The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8500G is a desktop processor with a base frequency of 3.5 GHz, six physical CPU cores and a 16 MB L3 cache. Manufactured on a 4 nm process, it integrates AMD Radeon 740M graphics operating at a base frequency of 2800 MHz and provides support for DisplayPort and HDMI 2.1 outputs. The chip supports dual-channel DDR5 memory up to 256 GB and includes professional-grade features from the Ryzen 5 PRO family, making it suitable for business and workstation environments that require reliable performance and platform longevity.

Advantages

The processor combines multi-core performance with integrated Radeon 740M graphics, reducing the need for a discrete GPU for general desktop and office workloads. Support for DDR5 dual-channel memory enables higher memory bandwidth and improved responsiveness. Built on a 4 nm process, the design targets efficiency and thermal control while offering a boost frequency up to 5 GHz for demanding single-threaded tasks. PRO-class features add management and security capabilities commonly required in corporate deployments.

Suitable for

• Office productivity and business desktops
• Light content creation and photo editing
• Home and small office multimedia playback via DisplayPort or HDMI 2.1
• Compact systems where a discrete GPU is not required
• Workloads benefiting from multiple CPU cores and AVX/AES instruction support
