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.

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.
