AMD $360 Ryzen 7 5700G APU Review & Benchmarks vs. R5 5600G, R7 5800X, & More
13,861This review of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G vs. R5 5600G looks at performance versus dGPUs, dedicated CPUs (like the R7 5800X or 5600X), and more. The 5700G is an 8-core, 16-thread part.

We're reviewing AMD's R7 5700G APU, which is an 8-core, 16-thread counterpart to the R5 5600G 6-core, 12-thread part. The 5700G is, by core count alone, comparable to the R7 5800X CPU. There are a few key differences: First, the inclusion of a graphics processor (running Vega architecture CUs) within the APU, and second, the switch to a monolithic solution rather than a chiplet approach. These things combined result in reduced cache for the APUs, which affects performance in some CPU-only or CPU-bound tasks. For that reason, we'll be testing the R7 5800X vs. the R7 5700G in gaming, CPU-only benchmarks, and benchmarks with a dGPU. We also added tests versus other dGPUs by request from the previous piece. If you're looking for the best integrated graphics to carry through the GPU shortage, AMD might be it right now. Official release for DIY availability is August 5th, but we got them early through an OEM. The parts are on the market now and have finalized drivers and components, they just aren't at DIY markets yet.
