I bought this to build a lab for multiple VM's for information security trainings. I can run 4-5 VM's without the fan even speeding up and switch between them with minimal lag, and still have a great experience. What powerful machines are capable of today, is just astounding. My first ever PC was a super-hot Pentium 4, and how far we've come.
I've just got a 5700G, setup in a fanless case. It's great, though I haven't really stressed it yet. I enjoyed the end of your comment - my first PC was a 386SX, and I can really relate to how far we've come! The SX 386 didn't have a maths co-processor, and simply adding a co-processor chip later on was a big step forwards.
I really hope these are available and dont get sold out or overpriced in an instant. I need things that I can build PCs now, and upgrade the GPU later when their prices normalize. Cause as it stands right now. A mid tier GPU from 4 years ago eats more then 50% of the budget people want me to build computers for them for.
I know 7 hobby builders who are in your same shoes. Be up at 9:00AM on Thursday if you want to hope to get one, and have AMD store and Best Buy ready. I know I will be. Also great PFP.
I got my hands on 5700G with no problem. It has been available for a while and it satisfy my needs for not-too-demanding games, video editing and general art productivity. 5700G is actually pretty good with Davinci Resolve for 1080 to 1440p projects as long you don't put too many crazy effects. Overall, it's actually a fun APU to own.
Using an APU and later upgrading GPU is only a viable idea if you don't use NVME storage or other PCIe extensions. Because the internal GPU is fixed bound to 8 of the 20 PCIe lanes. So there are only 12 left. No chance to get x16 lanes for an external GPU and you are limited to PCIe3.0. Not a big deal NOW but maybe in a year or two when silicon is abundant again. (It will be. There is ~50 billion $$$ in foundry invest at the moment. There will be plenty of silicon for everybody, soon. We'll see how long the prices will be kept high anyway...)
Awesome that you could drop one of these into a build & still have a reasonable gaming experience then drop in a dgpu later on for higher end gaming. Of course initially you'd have to consider going a little overkill on the power supply but that's not a huge deal
Another benefit is multi-monitor set ups, just connecting one to dGPU allows AMD GPUs to lower memory clock, which saves about 30w which is a massive increase to idle power load.
I sort of did this during the previous wave of overpriced GPUs. I bought the 2200G when I built my PC back in early 2018, which was a bargain even then for £100. It has 8 Vega 8 CUs, same as the 5700G, but clocked lower although there may be some IPC improvement as well I'm not sure. You can overclock the 2200G iGPU to about 1400MHz and I have seen the 5600G clocked to 2500MHz (up from 2000MHz base). 2200Gs are going for about $70-80 second hand on Ebay so for the same price as a 5700G you could have a 2200G and a 5600X. The 5600X is better than the 5700G for gaming with a dedicated GPU (see hardware unboxed videos), although you would need to get by with the 2200G which is possible in E-Sports titles (I played mostly world of tanks and war thunder). Since I have upgraded in late 2019 to a Ryzen 5 2700, I have a bunch of parts laying around including the 2200G and I want to build it into something but I have no idea what lol. I just need a motherboard but I would rather avoid the more expensive mini ITX ones.
love this video, thank you! confirms what I was thinking, been looking at 5700x/5800x and then I found the 5700g. its a no brainer while I wait and see how things shake out with all the new gpus launching right now. especially at todays pricing - as tempting as ryzen 7000 is, I just cant justify the premium today when I can grab a 5700g/b550 board, and 32gb ddr4 3200 ram all for $500.
I did the same thing bud, but let me know what you did on the ram part. I wanna go 32GB ram also but I've heard we can use 3600mhz ram bro. Why not shoot for the CL14 3600mhz pricey but maybe worthy?
More easy to come by and just as impressive as all the funny custom OS animations from hollywood. Nothing better than color-coded raw code to tell people "I'm smart, listen to me" :)
Honestly the Intel situation of getting a GPU for free (or being forced to pay for it) was super convenient for VM stuff. Might be nice if that GPU were actually kinda good
Well I got an Intel CPU without iGPU (old Xeon E3v3). Both of the companies had their adventures with and without iGPUs. APUs are really great for your classic non-gamer desktop pc. You don't want to buy dedicated GPU for office work or Dads PC. And those benchmarks are amazing....not really sacrificing much with AMD. I wish I had an iGPU now...very convenient to have on top of your radeon/geforce.
@asdrubale bisanzio its still about as powerful as a HD 7770/ 7780. I love my R3 3200g but I also paid 150 Canadian and have the R5 3600 on standby for 180 CAD. These new chips are expected to cost 200 - 250 USD +. They may be worth it if that's what you are starting with. I still recommend a smallish gpu like Nvidia 1600 series + or Radeon 5500 for those more demanding titles. You get the best of both worlds with extremely minimal downfall. You lose cache and some some raw speed. Can use fast RAM and storage just fine. A new/ revised gpu core/chiplet would have really benefitted these APU's .
@@0x8badf00d LGA 1150, correct. But no iGPU. Xeon E3-1230 v3. Cheapskate CPU at the time. No OC, no iGPU, but VTx. Served my needs well....but with GPU passthrough now, having a second GPU for basic desktop stuff is handy.
Completely agree, the 5700G can fit pretty much every scenario. One perhaps interesting to mention also is fanless builds. The reason why it works so well there, is because the 'Cezanne' chips feature a monolithic die and PCIe 3.0 instead of 4.0. This makes the power consumption, and especially idle power consumption, a lot better than the 'regular' 5000 'Vermeer' CPUs.
@@eb2558 depends on what you think is decent. You already found the video showing the 5600G run Tarkov, the 5700G will run it slightly better. It looks playable, but don't expect it running like Fortnite.
@@Level1Techs Personally as the sweaty gamer bro that I am. Proton-6.13-GE and newer now support AMD FSR for most games on steam (All vulkan games including DXVK, & VKD3D) it even works on Nvidia! Heroic Games launcher also updated with support for FSR. I think the landscape for Linux gaming is looking really good especially when you consider the steam deck is around the corner. It would be interesting to see the performance of these APU's using FSR.
As tempted as I am to throw one of these in a Deskmini, I'm REALLY curious to see how RDNA2 will perform in the next version of these, especially now that the Steam Deck has at least some variation of them.
From what I've seen and heard, the Steam Deck runs better than a 5700G. I would assume that the next get iGPU chips would be straight up beasts. I will however have to try and buy a Steam Deck, if they ever make it available in the Balkans that is. If not, then I'm gonna end up going to college (specifically for programming) without ever having a even mildly capable computer.
November 2022. Just bought this one for work to replace 11 years old A8-3850 quad core running at 667 MHz memory speed. I'm in IT running typical management software. Very excited to see the speed difference. Very good tips from Wendel as always.
Ordered a 5700G. With current availability of parts in general, I liked the idea of having a spare desktop PC available for general office use, media consumption, Band In A Box. I have a spare Silverstone FARA R1 (small ATX tower) available that I plan to use. Still need to select a motherboard. Thinking I might wait until W selects a MB.
I dropped from 3700 to 1660 Super to 3600G. I'm using FidelityFX to scale up 720p windowed content and I honestly have to say, I don't really miss my GPU for most of my gaming. Genshin Impact, RE7, WoW, D2/D3, and really anything below that is totally playable at 1080p60 where available and looks fine!
Great review. Everyone else I've watched is comparing it to graphics cards and complaining. At least you understand the use case! Personally I'm building a work computer with it (Based on the inwin B1) that will enable me to work for years to come.
@@BravoSixGoingDark I don't care. I learned a long time ago to not jump on the bleeding edge of technology. I just bought a 5700g and a new z570s Aorus board. There is always going to be something better too. AM4 is a stable known entity with lots of support. And there will be a lot of the faster AM4 chips around in 5 years that I can upgrade to. I have no issue being a bottom feeder in the market. At my age I don't need to be chasing FPS that my eyes will never see the difference in. Im way past the competitive shooter stuff. Up until now I still had my i5 3470/Rx580 and it met all my needs but will not support Win 11. I have been running just the IGPU for a week now and I am completely satisfied. IF I can scoop up a second hand 12-16gb graphics card in a few years I will be consider it, but Im not paying anything for another 8 gig card. The igpu with 8gb dedicated in the bios is more than enough for what I do today. And if I really wanted to I can jump that up to 16gb because I have 32 in my system.
I have two 5600G's. Both run perfectly in the asrock desk mini's with the latest bios. Both fail intermittently in two different Asrock b450 gaming/itx boards with latest bios, Video loses sync. Not often but usually when the PC has not warmed up fully. Have done much experimenting with this yet. If I discover anything that helps I will post it here later...pvp
With the price drop (+ being able to reuse ECC RAM from previous build), i put this in my Opnsense router. I can now run 1gbs IDS without noticable lag. Logs no longer hang on loading. Services reload quicker (i can reboot the router without TH-cam videos stopping).
I've seen v. small mini PC which take the 3400G, which would have been more than enough for my Dad 😁 Even with that compared to laptop most ppl use, it's fast. I am toying with the idea of recycling mine to use as a router, as mine throttles the 1Gb fibre so should just be the WAP
Current 5000 G series still have a Vega chip, so it is already impressive how it performs. Imagine the performance boost in the next APU with RDNA graphics chip. I guess it will make the real low end dedicated GPUs obsolete
Yeah he's 75, has never gamed, and never even owned a PC, it will rock his world...he just started browsing the net at the library before the pandemic.
I built a 5700G for emulation and I recommend it. I know the 5800X will be faster but this was cheaper, had onboard graphics and honestly for what I want to emulate, it's a beast.
Thank you for this video I was considering building on a on sWRX8 platform. But I think we're too close to seeing pcie 5.0 and ddr5 RAM. Spending a few grand on a top end workstation is not the move right now. Ryzen 5900g is really clutch right now especially with the GPU shortage.
just got one from amazon 6 days ago.. Paid $229 the week before they were $319.. then out of stock... Soon as they notified back in stock. i ordered... Had the MB, memory Nv drive,, best cpu i've ever had.
These 2 CPUs are PCI-e v3.0. If you put these in a motherboard with PCI-e v4 (such as the B550 in the video) - do the lanes - all of them - automatically slow down to 3.0 speeds? So your PIC-e v4.0 x16 slot in position #1 is now downgraded to PCI-e 3 speed? Same for the NVME-2 attached to the motherboard?
10:02 the asus pro ws X570-Ace is supposed to support ECC, at least it's mentioned in the spec sheet. It's basically the AM4 version of the threadripper ASUS Pro WS WRX80E-SAGE you showed a couple months ago
@asdrubale bisanzio :facepalm: is that also true now for the "regular" cpus (without graphics)? before they were supposed to support ecc depending on board support
Great review !! I would love to see what can be achieved in terms of gaming in Linux using Proton 6.13 with the FSR fullscreen upscaler. It could give a very nice framerate (rendering @720p) but giving a near 1080p image quality.
Ummm, well I've tested FSR 720p and I felt display scaling was faster and gave slightly superior quality results. The drawback is changing the desktop resolution or needing a 2nd display, it's not just a simple slider ingame
Hey guys, should I go for a Ryzen 5 3600 + GTX 1060 3GB GDDR5 or just for a Ryzen 5 5600G // 7 5700G without GPU? I really appreciate your help. I'm thinking to build my first budget PC!
I see a lot of gaming benchmarking but how do those CPUs perform for a productivity focused system? I am building a software dev system and I need to run a couple VMs and other annoying memory and CPU hungry node processes.
Why is there (quite excellent) complex atonal-harmonic background music playing for the first 2 minutes of this? And for anyone thinking I'm crazy, jack up the volume particularly at 1:08 onward.
I have both of my machines running on the 5700G. I love being out of the GPU market and missing all the crap and price gouging going on. I didn't even think about using the 5600G with the price difference only being 10% apart. Thank you AMD. Are you from the south? You spell like you talk. INTERGRATED GRAPHICS???
I just ordered the 5-5600G, have yet to get it though.... stalled by the weather.... anyway.... looking forward to testing it. currently running a A8 and it seems to do pretty good for everyday use... anxious to get to my AM4 based system! I have a Radeon HD7450 GPU and will only install it if the system has performance issues...
I bought this to do Blender on a itx mini pc, while streaming and using less than 50 watts hopefully so I can run it on solar panels in a cool weather climate. I'm sort of regretting buying the 5700g because I just saw a 1660 super sale for $160 today new, but I need to avoid gaming in order to progress in my career, and the size/Wattage represent that dedication to focus for me. Plus now is the time to sell my rx 570 and r5 1600af before they cost $20. the 5700g will play Back4Blood, and while it's not my favorite game, it is a good game to scratch the itch outside of RTS games
This 5700g will be replacing my old 1700. Finally a zen3 system that's 65w and won't tax my anemic cooling solution on my low profile mini-itx setup. The only reason I'm using a graphics card for this is for A. GPU Passthrough, and B. more than 2 monitors. I'm also very tempted to just get a Deskmini X300 and pairing it with one of these, and going even smaller form factor than my already small computer, and just ditching two side monitors for one bigger wide screen.
Awesome video, when you discussed how much Mbs of cache though the way it comes up in the graphic I can only think of the editor stacking 16 Megs from Family Guy to show the difference between the two lol
@@Level1Techs Nuts! I've had my eye on these APUs for building a silent, Linux home server. Would be able to build such a neat box, using B550 motherboard with onboard HDMI. I'm attracted to AMD because of the ECC.
Definitely excited to see more content on ECC memory for AM4 in general, but these apus inparticular offer the extra gpu needed for an unraid multi-user setup or similar. Until now the choice was Intel and no ECC or buying a low power gpu that you may not have pcie lanes for to make a multi-user unraid config. I'd love to see more high core count apus from AMD for similar applications. Maybe Intel will step up and enable ECC on the desktop too but I'm not holding my breath.
@@shakkaka12435924 the guy said you're limited to 3200MHz ram at 11:30, could you please check to confirm it actually supports 4400MHz (or you're running throttled ram)?
I have the ASRock Taichi Razer Edition with ECC memory. The BIOS option is missing, but it's enabled in Windows and event viewer shows corrections if overclocks are too high on the memory.
So, here is my question. I like the R75700G as a backup on my motherboard in case my video card goes down. I can still use my system. I considered getting R75700X as per it's better cache. Am I loosing out performance, or how much performance am I loosing going the the 5700G vs the 5700X. I have an RX5700XT video card as my primary video. Having the APU as a backup would be nice. Any comments, concerns, opinions I could get would greatly be appreciated!! Since I run a 1080 monitor with high refresh rate, 144Mhz.
Have found R3 4300 systems (4c8t Zen2) for cheap and these cezanne based chips are putting me off buying it... but I bet these are rare as unicorn poop with price tags to match. Have 3x 3950x's, Still bet the price of these will make me cry blood IF I can find them.
I got an old i7-2700k in my rosewill RSV-L4412. Been watching and waiting for the right Ryzen to come along so I can upgrade to 8c/16t with a low power usage yet good performance and ECC support. The G would be good for a MB without IMPI or even a non-G 5000 series if it supports ECC with a lower tdp part.
I found I had a few minor issues with my ASRock A320M HDV R3.0 board and the 5600G using 3600 memory, plus I would get rare blue screens, and one symptom being a white line flickering on the right side of the screen, until I switched on the memory error correction functions in the BIOS, since then it has behaved.
I was not able to get ECC working (tested with the latest memtest) on a 5750G Pro model. Two different CPUs tested. It works with all normal Ryzen CPUs, but the 5750G Pro always showed ECC disabled in memtest. Different wording that I don't remember right now... On B550M Steel legend with latest BIOS.
I love my 4650G that I have in my 5L Skyreach 4 Mini with an old GPU that I am able to pass-through into a virtual machine (using LXD). I might have to look building my wife a desktop so I can trade up to the 5700G and hopefully prices will come down soon so I can put a new GPU in (then pass the APU graphics to a VM) and get a second stick of RAM to give myself 64GB of ECC.
Been running a 3600G with 16GB DDR4 at 3200mhz for a couple years - get > 60fps at 1080p in most titles, however, you do have to turn down textures/lighting/particles/shadows etc., the chip is fast, it's the shared memory that will always bottleneck you.
It's crazy these brand new desktop APUs are still using vega graphics. You'd think we'd have access to rdna 1 at least by now but they are still compelling products for something like a HTPC, NAS, or budget gaming rig.
a 1CU of RDNA1 is no match for 1CU of 14nm Vega nor 1CU of 7nm Vega when it comes to performance on low power. now there "MAY" be incoming a RDNA1.5 that "COULD" maybe replaces the newest Vega, but it is JUST another NAVI rumor and they can take a very long time to come to reality.
This bodes very well for Steam Deck. On another note, is it possible to have an APU, get a dGPU, and then use either the dGPU or iGPU for VFIO? If it can then that'll save me a lot of money as I've been wanting to do a VFIO build but getting the optimal setup is pretty cost prohibitive.
@@kokoido2 I see- what should I expect to happen if I do so? Let's assume I pass it through - assuming I put my monitor to my dGPU, then it'll just show the VM with VFIO? And since I have a second monitor, would I be able to connect it to my MOBO's port to get iGPU's output to monitor the virt-manager?
@asdrubale bisanzio Would have preferred to pass my iGPU, since most of my heavy games now runs on Linux and most of the issues' just either some weird old VNs or eac games, but I'll take that.
This is old, but still relevant, IMO. If you want to build a fairly high core low power ryzen server, the 5700G is a great product. I don't believe the RAM frequency statement is correct, though. I also have a 4600G - $99 for 6 cores ~45W. And I was just testing this for gaming. Dropping a 4000MHz memory into this system makes a HUGE difference. With a 6700XT almost +50% frame rate. So, for the price that RAM goes right now a e.g. 4600G (which is specced at 3200Mhz RAM) with a B550 board can beat a 5600x with slower RAM). ANd that's pretty much true for the 5600G/5700G.
Well, if you ever wanted to build a 3.9L itx build, for just e=sports titles and even AAA games at 30fps, this chip is the beginning of powerful, tiny, gaming pc's. I dream of the day you can house this much power in something the size of an internal dvd disk drive.
You forget mention 5800x have double L3 cache size and this is main factor for performance difference. For Apu I waiting for next gen 12 Rdna GPU cores 96MB 3d Vchache + DDR5 this probably will increase performance by at-least 70% over 5700G. I currently using second hand Rx 470 that cost me 2 years ago $70
I'd really like to see you put a Ryzen 5 3400G in this exact setup with a good watercooler overclocked to it's stable limit compared with a non OC 5700G. 3400G currently $190 on EBAY so what do I get for almost double the price over the 3400G?
The 3400g has half the cores, half the threads, half the L3 cache, half the PCIe lanes, lower stock clock speeds, and a 19% IPC deficit, It better be half the price of the 5700G. A heavily overclocked 3400G iGPU might be able to close the gap on the iGPU in the 5700G, but no way is it going to match it general system performance, even with the added cost of water cooling. (which will mostly close the price gap)
Wouldn't be nice if they'd go with "XG" upgrade and at least RDNA, if not 2nd gen graphics on it?? Even with 15-20% price bump, I'd buy it 100%, and later when all parts for a high end pc arrive, stick it in asrock x300 and have a decent living-room emulation/multimedia machine and took lots of load from NAS... Even Steam Deck with what, 20watts with 4c at 3.5ghz is a BANG!! Can't wait for the APU + ECC video!!
Was your Windows installation maybe messed up? The AMD chipset drivers don’t install these “AMD-labeled” power plans anymore when using Zen 3-based processors. Or are the Zen 3 APUs outliers here?
So, good option for mATX boards that don't have a lot of expand-ability anyway. Would like to see this in a B450 board actually. It's gen 3 anyway and supported on some boards. My MSI Tomahawk B450 Max says it can take these chips. Might be a good replacement for my 1800X.

I still recommend a smallish gpu like Nvidia 1600 series + or Radeon 5500 for those more demanding titles. You get the best of both worlds with extremely minimal downfall. You lose cache and some some raw speed. Can use fast RAM and storage just fine. A new/ revised gpu core/chiplet would have really benefitted these APU's .
@@0x8badf00d LGA 1150, correct. But no iGPU. Xeon E3-1230 v3. Cheapskate CPU at the time. No OC, no iGPU, but VTx. Served my needs well....but with GPU passthrough now, having a second GPU for basic desktop stuff is handy.
Completely agree, the 5700G can fit pretty much every scenario. One perhaps interesting to mention also is fanless builds. The reason why it works so well there, is because the 'Cezanne' chips feature a monolithic die and PCIe 3.0 instead of 4.0. This makes the power consumption, and especially idle power consumption, a lot better than the 'regular' 5000 'Vermeer' CPUs.
hi, im completly new to pc gaming and seen alot of budget builds use the 5700g. do you think this could run tarkov at a decent level?
@@eb2558 depends on what you think is decent. You already found the video showing the 5600G run Tarkov, the 5700G will run it slightly better. It looks playable, but don't expect it running like Fortnite.
Wendell I love your style. Having a shit day, and sitting back and just listening to your calm dry humor, helps me chill my man. Thanks!
ahhhh the soothing sound of technology. Thanks for this one Wendel.
Sir may we please have some linux channel content? Quite a lot has happened in the last 2 months
what has caught your attention the most?
@@Level1Techs Personally as the sweaty gamer bro that I am. Proton-6.13-GE and newer now support AMD FSR for most games on steam (All vulkan games including DXVK, & VKD3D) it even works on Nvidia! Heroic Games launcher also updated with support for FSR. I think the landscape for Linux gaming is looking really good especially when you consider the steam deck is around the corner. It would be interesting to see the performance of these APU's using FSR.
@@Level1Techs nvidia vgpu unlock (maybe a bit over the line, jensen might send the attack helicopters :D
I got a 5750G for my home server, after realizing a 5700G wouldn't have ECC. Thank you, Wendell, for your homelab insights!
from where?
As tempted as I am to throw one of these in a Deskmini, I'm REALLY curious to see how RDNA2 will perform in the next version of these, especially now that the Steam Deck has at least some variation of them.
From what I've seen and heard, the Steam Deck runs better than a 5700G. I would assume that the next get iGPU chips would be straight up beasts.
I will however have to try and buy a Steam Deck, if they ever make it available in the Balkans that is. If not, then I'm gonna end up going to college (specifically for programming) without ever having a even mildly capable computer.
November 2022. Just bought this one for work to replace 11 years old A8-3850 quad core running at 667 MHz memory speed. I'm in IT running typical management software. Very excited to see the speed difference. Very good tips from Wendel as always.
Probably like enter the future, holy fk is that a slow processor
Ordered a 5700G. With current availability of parts in general, I liked the idea of having a spare desktop PC available for general office use, media consumption, Band In A Box. I have a spare Silverstone FARA R1 (small ATX tower) available that I plan to use. Still need to select a motherboard. Thinking I might wait until W selects a MB.
I dropped from 3700 to 1660 Super to 3600G. I'm using FidelityFX to scale up 720p windowed content and I honestly have to say, I don't really miss my GPU for most of my gaming. Genshin Impact, RE7, WoW, D2/D3, and really anything below that is totally playable at 1080p60 where available and looks fine!
Great review. Everyone else I've watched is comparing it to graphics cards and complaining. At least you understand the use case! Personally I'm building a work computer with it (Based on the inwin B1) that will enable me to work for years to come.
Watching this a year later and the 5700g is $250 and a real temptation.
I heard Phoenix APUs for the desktop on the AM5 platform are coming out end of this year 2023.
@@BravoSixGoingDark I don't care. I learned a long time ago to not jump on the bleeding edge of technology. I just bought a 5700g and a new z570s Aorus board. There is always going to be something better too. AM4 is a stable known entity with lots of support. And there will be a lot of the faster AM4 chips around in 5 years that I can upgrade to. I have no issue being a bottom feeder in the market. At my age I don't need to be chasing FPS that my eyes will never see the difference in. Im way past the competitive shooter stuff. Up until now I still had my i5 3470/Rx580 and it met all my needs but will not support Win 11. I have been running just the IGPU for a week now and I am completely satisfied. IF I can scoop up a second hand 12-16gb graphics card in a few years I will be consider it, but Im not paying anything for another 8 gig card. The igpu with 8gb dedicated in the bios is more than enough for what I do today. And if I really wanted to I can jump that up to 16gb because I have 32 in my system.
Wendells on the phone. Why is ECC not enabled :P
Would love to see a review on how does this perform in a NAS/media server build, especially on video transcoding performance from the IGP
Should handle it will ease. Although not as fast as say a 7800x. The IGPU has no issue with 4k rendering of video.
I have two 5600G's. Both run perfectly in the asrock desk mini's with the latest bios. Both fail intermittently in two different Asrock b450 gaming/itx boards with latest bios, Video loses sync. Not often but usually when the PC has not warmed up fully. Have done much experimenting with this yet. If I discover anything that helps I will post it here later...pvp
This is cool, I hope these are actually available to purchase.
Might be hard, had to wait a long time to find a seller for 4650G
With the price drop (+ being able to reuse ECC RAM from previous build), i put this in my Opnsense router. I can now run 1gbs IDS without noticable lag. Logs no longer hang on loading. Services reload quicker (i can reboot the router without TH-cam videos stopping).
I really want to make my dad a small form factor PC with the 5600g, it's more than he will ever need... probably would last him 5 or 6 years lol.
I've seen v. small mini PC which take the 3400G, which would have been more than enough for my Dad 😁
Even with that compared to laptop most ppl use, it's fast.
I am toying with the idea of recycling mine to use as a router, as mine throttles the 1Gb fibre so should just be the WAP
get him Civ 6, Crusader Kings 3 or something similar as a starter pack
Current 5000 G series still have a Vega chip, so it is already impressive how it performs.
Imagine the performance boost in the next APU with RDNA graphics chip. I guess it will make the real low end dedicated GPUs obsolete
Yeah he's 75, has never gamed, and never even owned a PC, it will rock his world...he just started browsing the net at the library before the pandemic.
I have a 4700g and it’s impressive. Yes, it’s not going to run modern AAA games well, if at all, but it’s great for older games and emulation
I built a 5700G for emulation and I recommend it. I know the 5800X will be faster but this was cheaper, had onboard graphics and honestly for what I want to emulate, it's a beast.
Looking for the ECC video! Please test as many motherboards as you can
Thank you for this video
I was considering building on a on sWRX8 platform. But I think we're too close to seeing pcie 5.0 and ddr5 RAM. Spending a few grand on a top end workstation is not the move right now. Ryzen 5900g is really clutch right now especially with the GPU shortage.
just got one from amazon 6 days ago.. Paid $229 the week before they were $319.. then out of stock... Soon as they notified back in stock. i ordered... Had the MB, memory Nv drive,, best cpu i've ever had.
I have a 5700g and I love it.
well the question that I would have had was "Is it faster than a 1030, or even a 1050?"
Good question. Still Vega 8, still sad. AMD does want gamers to spend $$$$ on a GPU
Anandtech says a bit faster than 1030 www.anandtech.com/show/16824/amd-ryzen-7-5700g-and-ryzen-5-5600g-apu-review/11
I'm hyped for the next AMD APU with RDNA chip.
These 2 CPUs are PCI-e v3.0. If you put these in a motherboard with PCI-e v4 (such as the B550 in the video) - do the lanes - all of them - automatically slow down to 3.0 speeds? So your PIC-e v4.0 x16 slot in position #1 is now downgraded to PCI-e 3 speed? Same for the NVME-2 attached to the motherboard?
@03:40 this is what I feared...
i got a 5700g at a microcenter on launch day. just cant get the ryzenmaster software to work. driver load fail error. =(
10:02 the asus pro ws X570-Ace is supposed to support ECC, at least it's mentioned in the spec sheet. It's basically the AM4 version of the threadripper ASUS Pro WS WRX80E-SAGE you showed a couple months ago
@asdrubale bisanzio :facepalm:
is that also true now for the "regular" cpus (without graphics)? before they were supposed to support ecc depending on board support
I so want an APU with Zen3 or newer with a gpu that'll be newer gen than this...has av1 decoding etc. Hope the next generations brings that...
For $350 we should at least get Vega 12 and 32M L3. I was hoping for Navi, SMH. 4600g will have to last awhile...
Love this video on the in depth comparison. This needs to be named the stuff no one else will tell you about the 5700g
Great review !! I would love to see what can be achieved in terms of gaming in Linux using Proton 6.13 with the FSR fullscreen upscaler. It could give a very nice framerate (rendering @720p) but giving a near 1080p image quality.
Ummm, well I've tested FSR 720p and I felt display scaling was faster and gave slightly superior quality results.
The drawback is changing the desktop resolution or needing a 2nd display, it's not just a simple slider ingame
great video, i got here late, but i just snagged this CPU 5700G for 160 buckaroos. I am using it to test builds / little home server pc. thank you.
Hey guys, should I go for a Ryzen 5 3600 + GTX 1060 3GB GDDR5 or just for a Ryzen 5 5600G // 7 5700G without GPU? I really appreciate your help. I'm thinking to build my first budget PC!
I see a lot of gaming benchmarking but how do those CPUs perform for a productivity focused system? I am building a software dev system and I need to run a couple VMs and other annoying memory and CPU hungry node processes.
Why is there (quite excellent) complex atonal-harmonic background music playing for the first 2 minutes of this? And for anyone thinking I'm crazy, jack up the volume particularly at 1:08 onward.
I have both of my machines running on the 5700G. I love being out of the GPU market and missing all the crap and price gouging going on. I didn't even think about using the 5600G with the price difference only being 10% apart. Thank you AMD.
Are you from the south? You spell like you talk. INTERGRATED GRAPHICS???
You deliver jokes better than I do. We still get the same deafening silence but at least you get the words out in the right order.
I just ordered the 5-5600G, have yet to get it though.... stalled by the weather.... anyway.... looking forward to testing it. currently running a A8 and it seems to do pretty good for everyday use... anxious to get to my AM4 based system! I have a Radeon HD7450 GPU and will only install it if the system has performance issues...
I bought this to do Blender on a itx mini pc, while streaming and using less than 50 watts hopefully so I can run it on solar panels in a cool weather climate. I'm sort of regretting buying the 5700g because I just saw a 1660 super sale for $160 today new, but I need to avoid gaming in order to progress in my career, and the size/Wattage represent that dedication to focus for me. Plus now is the time to sell my rx 570 and r5 1600af before they cost $20. the 5700g will play Back4Blood, and while it's not my favorite game, it is a good game to scratch the itch outside of RTS games
5600g is just too good for its price ❤️
The "code image" on those screens behind you, look very much like Unity C#.
Good stuff!
Sadly, the AMD store on Amazon has them priced at $1,058.00 as of 9:00am on the release day.
Scan Computers UK priced at £329.99 in stock now
Where are you getting these from? I don't see them even listed anywhere I look.
They're available today on microcenter, Newegg and Amazon
"Who needs the quickie-mart!"
Iiii dooooooooooooo...
Why is there a 2GB limit in the BIOS for the iGPU? Would making it up to 4 GB or 8 GB make any difference?
I have tried something else with my 5700g I run 32gb 4000mhz cl18 ram. And it is glad to fps better for me allowing vr gaming.
I appreciate that AMD have included graphics in the 7000x series, just a good back up for a dgpu, in case of fail.
This 5700g will be replacing my old 1700. Finally a zen3 system that's 65w and won't tax my anemic cooling solution on my low profile mini-itx setup. The only reason I'm using a graphics card for this is for A. GPU Passthrough, and B. more than 2 monitors. I'm also very tempted to just get a Deskmini X300 and pairing it with one of these, and going even smaller form factor than my already small computer, and just ditching two side monitors for one bigger wide screen.
Eco mode works too, so u don't really have to get a 5700g. Eco mode is nice for small form factor builds and the like
Waited a little longer and 5700x could have been had.
Gr8 new background score Wendel =)
Awesome video, when you discussed how much Mbs of cache though the way it comes up in the graphic I can only think of the editor stacking 16 Megs from Family Guy to show the difference between the two lol
5700G has the ECC disabled apparently. You need the PRO version i hear?
Yeah seems like tho initially the reviews guide said not.
@@Level1Techs Nuts! I've had my eye on these APUs for building a silent, Linux home server. Would be able to build such a neat box, using B550 motherboard with onboard HDMI. I'm attracted to AMD because of the ECC.
Definitely excited to see more content on ECC memory for AM4 in general, but these apus inparticular offer the extra gpu needed for an unraid multi-user setup or similar. Until now the choice was Intel and no ECC or buying a low power gpu that you may not have pcie lanes for to make a multi-user unraid config. I'd love to see more high core count apus from AMD for similar applications. Maybe Intel will step up and enable ECC on the desktop too but I'm not holding my breath.
using APU GPU also uses PCIe lanes. At least on mine B450 Tomahawk Max II it shows that I have x16 for my PCIe slot for CPU and x8 if I have APU.
At 10:39 some of the text is small and hard to read on a 1440p 27" monitor, and even worse on a 24" monitor. FYI

Good review, and nice attention to details like the power plan. Not many users knows about it!

I have the ASRock Taichi Razer Edition with ECC memory. The BIOS option is missing, but it's enabled in Windows and event viewer shows corrections if overclocks are too high on the memory.
very good of explaining the result. love it....
So, here is my question. I like the R75700G as a backup on my motherboard in case my video card goes down. I can still use my system. I considered getting R75700X as per it's better cache. Am I loosing out performance, or how much performance am I loosing going the the 5700G vs the 5700X. I have an RX5700XT video card as my primary video. Having the APU as a backup would be nice. Any comments, concerns, opinions I could get would greatly be appreciated!! Since I run a 1080 monitor with high refresh rate, 144Mhz.
Have found R3 4300 systems (4c8t Zen2) for cheap and these cezanne based chips are putting me off buying it... but I bet these are rare as unicorn poop with price tags to match. Have 3x 3950x's, Still bet the price of these will make me cry blood IF I can find them.
The latest AMD chipset drivers do not have the Ryzen Balanced power plan, at least not on a 5800X system I set up recently.
I got an old i7-2700k in my rosewill RSV-L4412. Been watching and waiting for the right Ryzen to come along so I can upgrade to 8c/16t with a low power usage yet good performance and ECC support. The G would be good for a MB without IMPI or even a non-G 5000 series if it supports ECC with a lower tdp part.
5000 series amd prices makes me extra happy about the 2700x i bought in 2019 for 200 usd :)
Why can't amd put 11 vega cores in a 5600g clocked at 2000mhz on the GPs, it would beat everything including small gpu's.
I found I had a few minor issues with my ASRock A320M HDV R3.0 board and the 5600G using 3600 memory, plus I would get rare blue screens, and one symptom being a white line flickering on the right side of the screen, until I switched on the memory error correction functions in the BIOS, since then it has behaved.
I was not able to get ECC working (tested with the latest memtest) on a 5750G Pro model. Two different CPUs tested. It works with all normal Ryzen CPUs, but the 5750G Pro always showed ECC disabled in memtest. Different wording that I don't remember right now... On B550M Steel legend with latest BIOS.
I love my 4650G that I have in my 5L Skyreach 4 Mini with an old GPU that I am able to pass-through into a virtual machine (using LXD). I might have to look building my wife a desktop so I can trade up to the 5700G and hopefully prices will come down soon so I can put a new GPU in (then pass the APU graphics to a VM) and get a second stick of RAM to give myself 64GB of ECC.
Been running a 3600G with 16GB DDR4 at 3200mhz for a couple years - get > 60fps at 1080p in most titles, however, you do have to turn down textures/lighting/particles/shadows etc., the chip is fast, it's the shared memory that will always bottleneck you.
It's crazy these brand new desktop APUs are still using vega graphics. You'd think we'd have access to rdna 1 at least by now but they are still compelling products for something like a HTPC, NAS, or budget gaming rig.
a 1CU of RDNA1 is no match for 1CU of 14nm Vega nor 1CU of 7nm Vega when it comes to performance on low power.
now there "MAY" be incoming a RDNA1.5 that "COULD" maybe replaces the newest Vega,
but it is JUST another NAVI rumor and they can take a very long time to come to reality.
This bodes very well for Steam Deck. On another note, is it possible to have an APU, get a dGPU, and then use either the dGPU or iGPU for VFIO? If it can then that'll save me a lot of money as I've been wanting to do a VFIO build but getting the optimal setup is pretty cost prohibitive.
Doing that shouldnt be an issue, might even be easier because there shouldnt be any weird pci issues or anything, atleast if you passthrough the dGPU
@@kokoido2 I see- what should I expect to happen if I do so? Let's assume I pass it through - assuming I put my monitor to my dGPU, then it'll just show the VM with VFIO? And since I have a second monitor, would I be able to connect it to my MOBO's port to get iGPU's output to monitor the virt-manager?
@asdrubale bisanzio Would have preferred to pass my iGPU, since most of my heavy games now runs on Linux and most of the issues' just either some weird old VNs or eac games, but I'll take that.
9:16 I feel like you could probably pull that mic up 3 inches and get it out of the frame.
Just bought a 4650g off ebay hoping it has anything close to this performance
thank you for not focusing on 60 fps 1080p AAA high setting gaming. I dont need benchmarks to figure out a Vega 8 wont deliver in that category lmao
This is old, but still relevant, IMO. If you want to build a fairly high core low power ryzen server, the 5700G is a great product. I don't believe the RAM frequency statement is correct, though. I also have a 4600G - $99 for 6 cores ~45W. And I was just testing this for gaming. Dropping a 4000MHz memory into this system makes a HUGE difference. With a 6700XT almost +50% frame rate. So, for the price that RAM goes right now a e.g. 4600G (which is specced at 3200Mhz RAM) with a B550 board can beat a 5600x with slower RAM). ANd that's pretty much true for the 5600G/5700G.
I was hoping to see a test on an ASRock Deskmini for a ridoncolous power to size ratio. How would that fare against an 5800H laptop?
I'm testing that right now! I love it. Even better than the 4750G
AMD should have added Ryzen 5000G support to X370 and B350 since the APU only supports PCIe 3.0.
@00:00 & @04:25 a Simpsons reference and a Star Wars reference? You're spoiling us...
Well, if you ever wanted to build a 3.9L itx build, for just e=sports titles and even AAA games at 30fps, this chip is the beginning of powerful, tiny, gaming pc's. I dream of the day you can house this much power in something the size of an internal dvd disk drive.
Please more on the AMD 5700G ECC Ram compatibility
You forget mention 5800x have double L3 cache size and this is main factor for performance difference. For Apu I waiting for next gen 12 Rdna GPU cores 96MB 3d Vchache + DDR5 this probably will increase performance by at-least 70% over 5700G. I currently using second hand Rx 470 that cost me 2 years ago $70
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Which one is better a Ryzen 5 5600G or Ryzen 7 PRO 4750G? As a CPU with a Dedicated GPU
We used to use thumb drives as extra video ram in the past. Does that still work today?
I'd really like to see you put a Ryzen 5 3400G in this exact setup with a good watercooler overclocked to it's stable limit compared with a non OC 5700G. 3400G currently $190 on EBAY so what do I get for almost double the price over the 3400G?
The 3400g has half the cores, half the threads, half the L3 cache, half the PCIe lanes, lower stock clock speeds, and a 19% IPC deficit, It better be half the price of the 5700G. A heavily overclocked 3400G iGPU might be able to close the gap on the iGPU in the 5700G, but no way is it going to match it general system performance, even with the added cost of water cooling. (which will mostly close the price gap)
Wouldn't be nice if they'd go with "XG" upgrade and at least RDNA, if not 2nd gen graphics on it?? Even with 15-20% price bump, I'd buy it 100%, and later when all parts for a high end pc arrive, stick it in asrock x300 and have a decent living-room emulation/multimedia machine and took lots of load from NAS... Even Steam Deck with what, 20watts with 4c at 3.5ghz is a BANG!! Can't wait for the APU + ECC video!!
I got it for home lab and tested power consumption and it went from 40w idle to 160w i think under load.
How is it that 1% and 0.1% low frame rates are *less* than minimum frame rate in the graph at 7:57? Similar fishiness at 4:41.
Can this integrated GPU handle scientific data analysis and visualization ?? I am building a PC...so not sure if I need additional graphic card
why not show the settings that you used for benchmarking? i kinda want to compare it with my own system (ryzen 3600 and gtx 750 ti)
Was your Windows installation maybe messed up?
The AMD chipset drivers don’t install these “AMD-labeled” power plans anymore when using Zen 3-based processors.
Or are the Zen 3 APUs outliers here?
just random stock broll, balanced power plan is whats important, not performance
So, good option for mATX boards that don't have a lot of expand-ability anyway. Would like to see this in a B450 board actually. It's gen 3 anyway and supported on some boards. My MSI Tomahawk B450 Max says it can take these chips. Might be a good replacement for my 1800X.
