AMD Ryzen 5 8500G: A Surprisingly Fascinating Sub-$200 CPU
The Ryzen 5 8500G with its mix of Zen 4 and 4C cores was the only processor tested running demanding workloads while pulling 50 Watts or less.
For strictly single-threaded Python applications, the Intel Raptor Lake Refresh parts were ahead.
For workloads able to make use of AVX-512, the Ryzen 5 8500G was quite capable for its $179 USD price tag while being very power efficient.
