MX Linux ready for AMD 8700G

[lilith]

Hi,

I'm getting a new PC built and as there are issues with the 13 and 14 gen Intel CPUs I'm most likely going with AMD.

Does anyone know for sure if the AMD 8700G with AMD Radeon™ 780M is meanwhile supported by the Kernel used in MX Linux? And if not what's the next best CPU you can recommend?

Thanks!

I would give serious consideration for the Ryzen 7 7800 or Ryzen 9 7900 as alternatives.

Phoronix is a great web site for reviews/testing of new(er/ish) hardware.

Thanks, I will go through the article.

I'm getting confused. :) It seems to run fine with kernels > 6 as far I can tell, but it needs very recent firmware. I will use the Liquorix Kernel from the AHS version, but how can I figure out if the firmware is sufficient?

The Ryzen 9600x seems to have very good Linux support which most likely works out of the box, but the graphics of the 8700G can make problems.

Do you mean the Ryzen 7 7800X3D?

Edit: I will go with 65 W, so 7900 would be an option.

yes.
edited to add that you would be wise to check the Linux compatibility of your motherboard as well.

As usual Phoronix is great.

Like with the Phoenix mobile SoCs, the Ryzen 8000G series should work out-of-the-box with modern Linux distributions. Given they are still Zen 4 CPU cores in use and existing motherboard/chipset compatibility (with BIOS update), the system platform support isn't much of a problem assuming you are running a modern Linux distribution with a recent kernel release and on the integrated graphics side using a modern Mesa stack....
The one possible caveat to be aware of may be the need to be using linux-firmware.git for having the very latest AMDGPU firmware files. Initially when I started my 8600G/8700G testing I was encountering hangs and AMDGPU errors when engaging various graphics benchmarks. Once being provided with the latest AMDGPU firmware, those problems went away. It's not clear that all systems/motherboards will be needing the very latest firmware but in any event be aware of checking on new linux-firmware.git should you be buying one of these new processors and hit any graphics issues.

Sounds like it will work OTB. MX will give a recent kernel and modern Mesa stack I assume. (though I am not keeping up with that lately...)
You might need the latest AMDGPU firmware, as Michael writes. But soon this will be in the repos, or test repos, or integrated by the great package team, or Debian upstream... what ever, it will be taken care of, it will work -

I would say key is to get a latest BIOS firmware upgrade, this often enables the new hardware (CPU or GPU).

As you can see I'm running the most recent AHS kernel and our Mesa driver version is less than the one mentioned in Phoronix's article for the 8700G. As for recommending a CPU, if focused on gaming the 7800 x3d is highly recommended and unquestionably the best choice. It's also a very efficient, low wattage CPU. The integrated graphics work well but gaming isn't it's intended purpose. (I test played Ori and the Blind Forest)

Thanks, I will call the company on Monday and ask them about the 7800. I'm not gaming, but I will use it mainly for music production, but I think it's not bad to have a good graphic unit. With my current i5 4460 sometimes GUIs are slow depending on the software I'm using. VCV rack even suggest to have a graphics card (https://vcvrack.com/)

This company here offers the 8600G and 8700G together with Ubuntu 24 installed. But Ubuntu uses newer kernels compared to MX Linux.

edit: I don't need a graphics card and onbard graphics will be enough.
