AMD has been pretty quiet about the entry-level 8600G and 8700G CPUs, but why? With reduced PCIe lanes, Zen4c cores, a pretty beefy built-in GPU, and an accessible price when compared to buying a GPU, these new chips seem like they could be great choices for those looking to dip their toes into PC gaming. Linus is here to see if they're worth your hard-earned money.
