Most of AMD's desktop processors for the past several generations have had poor idle power because they're built using multiple chiplets with a cheap, power-hungry interconnect. The 8000G series (and earlier -G parts) are monolithic laptop processors re-packaged for the desktop socket, so they are unaffected by the main cause of poor idle power in AMD's main desktop processor product line.
