Radeon 740M graphics on AM5 — a complete PC with no graphics card, on a socket that upgrades later.
Quick Specs
- 6 cores / 12 threads, up to 5.0GHz boost
- 22MB total cache (6MB L2 + 16MB L3)
- Radeon 740M integrated graphics, 4 cores at 2800MHz
- 65W TDP, AM5 socket, DDR5 up to 5200MHz
- Unlocked multiplier
A whole PC without a GPU
The 8500G boots, displays and games with no graphics card at all. Radeon 740M handles esports titles and light gaming at 1080p, plays back 4K video without breaking a sweat, and drives multiple monitors — which makes this the obvious brain for an office machine, a media PC, or a gaming build where the card comes later. Because it's AM5, that later upgrade is just the card; the board and DDR5 stay.
The hybrid core layout, explained
The 8500G mixes two full Zen 4 cores (up to 4.1GHz) with four smaller Zen 4c cores (3.3GHz) — all six are real cores running the same instructions, but the 4c cores clock lower. That keeps the chip cheap and cool, and it works fine for browsing, office work and light gaming. For heavy gaming it means the 8500G trails a straightforward six-core like the 7600 or 8400F. If a graphics card is definitely going in, buy one of those instead; buy the 8500G because you want it to work without one.

- Radeon 740M graphics — no discrete card required

Questions
Before you buy
Which motherboards will this CPU fit?
It uses the AM5 socket, so it needs a motherboard with a matching socket. Sockets are not cross-compatible - a chip will not physically fit a board built for a different one. Every motherboard we list shows its socket on the Specifications tab, and it is worth checking the board maker’s support list for a BIOS update if the board is from an earlier generation than the chip.
How many cores and threads does it have?
6 cores and 12 threads. Cores do the work; threads are the number of jobs the chip can keep in flight at once. Games lean on a handful of fast cores, while rendering, compiling and video export scale with the total count.
What sort of cooler does it need?
It is rated at 65W TDP, which is the heat a cooler has to carry away under sustained load. Match or beat that figure with the cooler you choose, and check the What’s in the box list above - some processors ship with a cooler, some do not. Our PC Builder only offers coolers that fit the socket you have picked.
Do I need a separate graphics card with it?
No - this processor has integrated graphics, so it will drive a display on its own. You still want a graphics card for gaming or GPU-accelerated creative work, but the machine will boot and run without one.
Is it in stock, and when will it ship?
This one is out of stock at the moment. Stock does come back in - WhatsApp us on 079 491 0181 with the model and we will tell you what the supplier is showing and let you know when it lands, rather than leaving you to keep checking the page.
What does delivery cost, and how long does it take?
We deliver by courier anywhere in South Africa, and delivery is R180 on orders under R2 500 and free on orders of R2 500 or more. It takes 1-3 working days to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and areas within 100km of them, and 2-4 working days to areas more than 100km from a major centre, counted from the day the order is dispatched. Need it sooner? Express delivery is 1-2 working days for R210, or R150 on orders of R2 500 or more - choose it at checkout. We do not ship outside South Africa.
Can I collect instead of having it delivered?
Yes. Collection is from 11 Voortrekker Avenue, Edenvale, Gauteng, by arrangement - message us first so we can have the order picked and waiting. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday.
What warranty does it carry, and how do I claim?
The warranty period for this product is listed at the end of the Specifications section above. Claims go through us, not the manufacturer - contact us with your order number and a description of the fault and we will handle it from there. Separately from any warranty, the Consumer Protection Act gives you six months from delivery to return goods that are defective, unsafe or not fit for their intended purpose.
What if I change my mind?
You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind - longer than the seven days the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act requires. The item needs to be unused and in its original packaging, and we pay the return shipping. Refunds go back to the payment method you used, within 30 days of the return reaching us.
How can I pay?
Payments are processed by Stitch. At the last step of checkout you are taken to Stitch’s secure page to pay, and brought back here once it is done. Your card details are entered on Stitch’s secure, PCI-compliant page and never touch our systems.
