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.

Thanks for the correction. That was a real head-scratcher!msroadkill612 - Thursday, August 5, 2021 - link
Under the table on p1"The top part is a Ryzen 7 5700G, featuring eight cores and sixteen threads, with a base frequency of 3.8 GHz and a turbo frequency of 4.6 GHz. The Vega 8 graphics runs at 2000 MHz, and we get 16 lanes of PCIe 3.0 for graphics, plus another four for storage."
Not so -AFAIK - all apus have 8 lanes for the graphics pcie slot.
anand made the same mistake on a previous apu review as i recall. its very misleading.

The 4000G series have 16 lanes and so do these, it was not misleading at all as far as I can tell.Fulljack - Friday, August 6, 2021 - link
nope, the connection to GPU were different according to the package. any APUs packaged on AM4 will have x16 PCIe 3.0 connection—always has been since Raven Ridge.for laptop, FP6 and previous package were limited to x8 PCIe 3.0 connection for the GPU.

will have to wait for 6000G, since this has old ass graphics with no AV1 decoding support. Enjoy your choppy 4k/8k videonandnandnand - Thursday, August 5, 2021 - link
~2x graphics performance, AV1 decode, DDR5, PCIe 4.0, USB4, and possibly a Zen 3+ IPC increase.GreenReaper - Thursday, August 5, 2021 - link
Yeah... they're good CPUs, but not the one to get if you're buying something to use for the next decade.GeoffreyA - Thursday, August 5, 2021 - link
Possibly the best for AM4 folk that want an APU.GeoffreyA - Thursday, August 5, 2021 - link
Can't comment on 8K, but 4K runs smoothly even on an old 2200G.pman6 - Thursday, August 5, 2021 - link
not 4k60 AV1 it doesn't. Or it uses a lot of cpu resources
