AMD $360 Ryzen 7 5700G APU Review & Benchmarks vs. R5 5600G, R7 5800X, & More In the latest review from Gamers Nexus, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G has been thoroughly assessed against its predecessor, the R5 5600G, as well as more powerful CPUs like the R7 5800X. With a competitive price point of $360, the Ryzen 7 5700G aims to cater to both gamers and those interested in robust desktop solutions that include integrated graphics.

Overview of the 5700G APU​

The Ryzen 7 5700G is an 8-core, 16-thread APU which, unlike traditional CPUs, incorporates integrated graphics powered by AMD’s Vega architecture. This APU is particularly noteworthy for two reasons:

1. It was released ahead of its official launch due to demand in the current GPU market.
2. It represents a significant performance boost compared to prior models while remaining relevant in today’s evolving hardware landscape.
   

   Specifications and Performance​

   Key specifications include:
   • Base clock speed: 3.8 GHz
   • Boost clock speed: 4.6 GHz
   • Integrated Vega graphics with 8 compute units (CUs)
   The review highlights the variances in performance when compared to the R5 5600G and dedicated GPUs, emphasizing that while the Ryzen 7 5700G generally performs better in gaming scenarios, the value proposition becomes crucial to consider for budget-conscious consumers.
   

   Benchmarks and Gaming Analysis​

   The benchmarks reveal that while the 5700G outperforms the 5600G in integrated graphics performance, the investment might not justify itself under tight budgets. For instance:
   • In Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, the 5700G achieved an average of 127 FPS, which is a boost over the 5600G’s performance.
   • However, the incremental price jump from the 5600G to the 5700G yields diminishing returns when considering cost versus performance.
   The review also notes that overall performance aligns closely with both budget intel CPUs and entry-level dedicated GPUs, leading to the recommendation for potential buyers to weigh their options carefully if they intend to upgrade their systems later.
   

   Conclusion and Recommendations​

   Ultimately, while the Ryzen 7 5700G serves as a solid choice for those looking for a capable APU with good upgradability, the Gamers Nexus team suggests that for users primarily focused on gaming without the immediate need for integrated graphics, sticking with the cheaper R5 5600G might be the more prudent option unless future-proofing for GPU upgrades is a primary concern.
