Finding 60+ FPS
Never mind 30 frames per second, if we want gaming to be smooth, we look for true 60 FPS gaming. It's going to be a benchmark for any integrated graphics solution, but one question is if games are getting more difficult to render faster than integrated graphics is improving. Given how we used to talk about 30-40 FPS on integrated graphics before Ryzen, it stands to reason that the base requirements of games is only ever getting worse. To meet that need, we need processors with a good level of integrated oomph.
So here are a series of our tests that meet that mark. Unfortunately most of them are 720p Low (or worse).
A full list of results at various resolutions and settings can be found in our Benchmark Database.
These last couple of games here, World of Tanks and CS:Source are getting on in age a bit. Playing at 1080p High/Max on both is easily done, but we cranked Source up to 4K and we're not even getting 60 frames per second. The previous generation R7 even beat out the new APUs here, probably indicating that the previous generation had more power going into the GPU and the new models are balanced towards the CPU cores a bit more. It works in some games clearly, and 1080p resolutions, but not here at 4K.

Might be because it isn't as power limited and hence won't throttle in the same way the AMD chip.Danvelopment - Thursday, August 5, 2021 - link
Is the 5600G 6 core or 8 core? The first page of the article says it's both on the two tables.eastcoast_pete - Thursday, August 5, 2021 - link
Now, imagine if those 5700 APUs would have kept the core numbers of the 3400, but clocked at current speeds. I hope that Intel will bring its 10 nm Desktop CPUs with the full Xe compliment of mobile Tiger Lake, as that might force AMD to up its game; well, the next APU generation will be RDNA2, so as long as AMD doesn't gimp it by keeping the GPU tiny, it should have significant uplift over CézanneCooe - Friday, August 6, 2021 - link
Far Cry 5 running at ≈25fps on average at "1080p Ultra" is actually CRAZY freaking impressive. Why? Because that means it should hit a solid >=30fps running at "1080p High", which basically means that this single chip APU solution is outperforming BOTH of the last generation console base models (aka PS4 & Xbox One/S) in this title!!! That's freaking NUTS!!!nandnandnand - Tuesday, August 10, 2021 - link
I wouldn't be surprised to see 1080p60 in the same scenarios with Rembrandt next year. But DDR5 will be expensive.nanonan - Friday, August 6, 2021 - link
Every other source I've read states the pcie configuration as 24 lanes divided into 16, 4 and 4 just like the 4000G series. Do you have a source for this 8+4+8 configuration?linuxgeex - Friday, August 6, 2021 - link
Anand wasn't perfect with proofing either but he was thorough on deep dives, exposing bottlenecks and explaining how and why it was relevant. These days Ian and co assume that if we're Anandtech readers we just trust their methodology and do some lip service by adding cut&paste boilerplate around specs and throw in an image sometimes from a past review, sometimes not directly relevant, and I get that they only have so much time to invest. It bores me, and it doesn't give the new people the same level of engagement that will built their future audience. Oh welles.Samus - Friday, August 6, 2021 - link
I blacked out after getting to the part where an entry-level AMD APU starts at $259.While I get yes there are the Athlon's, they are mostly outclassed by a 9th gen $90 Intel Core i3 so it isn't even worth consideration.

Yes, pricing is disappointing.mode_13h - Sunday, August 8, 2021 - link
They're starting strong, because it's a lot easier to lower prices than raise them, and that pricing reflects the supply/demand situation, especially when the 3000-gen are still widely available.Over time, I'm sure you can expect to see the gap close, particularly since the process node is the same and die sizes are similar.
