The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G, Ryzen 5 5600G, and Ryzen 3 5300G Review

1080p Max with RTX 2080 Ti
The last generation flagship GPU might be considered a bit overkill for 1080p gaming, however when we start cranking up settings, we end up crossing the realm from high refresh rate gaming down to regular gaming, and the CPU can end up being the bottleneck here. It provides an interesting set of results.
A full list of results at various resolutions and settings can be found in our Benchmark Database.
Generation on generation, we're getting a small bump in Chernobylite.
One of the critical elements here is that Civilization 6 likes the Zen 3 cores, but only when there's enough L3 cache to go around.
Deus Ex gets a sizeable uplift with the new APUs over the previous generation.
144 Hz on Final Fantasy 14, these chips are ready.
F1 2019 is a game that enjoys the Zen 3 change as well.

Yes, great follow-up article, that.nemi2 - Thursday, August 5, 2021 - link
Does anyone know if these 5x00G support 4k HDR, VVR, at 120Hz? I see some B550 MB advertise HDMI 2.1id4andrei - Thursday, August 5, 2021 - link
An overclocking section would be nice, with a focus on the iGPU only.Gasaraki88 - Thursday, August 5, 2021 - link
I'm worried about the performance of the Steam Deck.nandnandnand - Saturday, August 7, 2021 - link

Steam Deck uses the much faster LPDDR5-5500 RAM and much powerful RDNA2 iGPU.mode_13h - Tuesday, August 10, 2021 - link
Yeah, but its iGPU is still 8 CUs. I think it's telling they went with 1280x800 resolution. Probably enough for a screen that size, and framerates are reportedly good.I do kinda wish they'd gone with a bigger iGPU, but maybe silicon prices these days pushed too hard against that. I think their goal should be to counter a plausible next-gen Nintendo Switch, and I'm not confident they got there.
Unlike Sony & MS, Valve can't afford to sell the hardware at a loss. The upside of that is that Valve isn't making it a walled garden. So, you should be able to load and run non-Steam software on it!

Compared to everything else in that form factor, it should be great. You probably won't be able to run most modern games at High and hit a solid 60FPS, or perhaps even 30FPS. But Medium might work. Meanwhile the competition is on Low with a few extra tweaks, and running games specifically designed for it (and likely costing a lot more). Heck, you might even be able to emulate them.The_Assimilator - Thursday, August 5, 2021 - link
Way too expensive, especially when you consider these chips lose out on PCIe 4.0 and are still using the ancient and terrible Vega.pman6 - Thursday, August 5, 2021 - link
i've used a prebuilt 5700G system, and for some reason, the Intel rocket lake runs smoother in certain applications like stock trading and java based apps.The only downside is that Intel is a power hog
