The Ryzen 7 8700GE, a power-saving version of the Ryzen 7 8700G, had to prove itself in numerous synthetic benchmarks in an initial test by the German-language YouTube channel GucksTV and was particularly convincing in terms of efficiency. The TDP, which has been reduced from 65 to 35 watts, reduces power consumption by more than 50 percent, while performance is comparatively high and hardly drops.
Ryzen 7 8700GE with 35 watts as an efficiency monster
While the average single-core performance of 16 different benchmarks is only 5 percent lower compared to the Ryzen 7 8700G, which was already convincing in PCGH's technology test, the AMD Ryzen 7 8700GE with 35 watts in the multi -Thread performance is also only 17 percent behind. The IGP, which PCGH had also looked at separately, only works 23 percent slower than the large G model with the greatly reduced TDP.

While the Ryzen 7 8700G consumes an average of 88 watts of power, the Ryzen 7 8700GE is content with 42 watts. Although the power consumption drops by an average of 52 percent, the performance of the Radeon 780M based on the RDNA 3 architecture is only reduced by 23 watts. The Zen 4 APU works significantly more efficiently with a reduced TDP and remains 15 to 20 degrees cooler.

Since the Ryzen 7 8700GE tested by GuckTV is still a pre-production processor, a so-called Engineering Sample (“ES”) or Qualification Sample (“QS”), the potential of the final version could possibly be even slightly higher. The detailed test video for the 35-watt power-saving APU on YouTube provides further details.
