AMD Ryzen™ 7 5700G 8-Core, 16-Thread Desktop Processor with Radeon™ Graphics

– INITIAL EXPERIENCE AND iGPU IMPRESSION This is actually an OUTSTANDING Cpu. I bought it for building a test-bench with "OpenBenchTable" (you can look it up on youtube, they're pretty sweet), and I figured it might be a good idea to have integrated graphics built-in. Boy, was I right. A video card that worked perfectly well with my other system (which I'm still using) for some reason would not participate in video output, even though its fans were spinning. As a matter of fact, if it weren't for this iGPU, I probably wouldn't have even been able to build my system. Once I got everything running and setup however, for some reason the video card I was just talking about suddenly started working (and it's not a matter of drivers because we're including the BIOS display here too). However - what I came to realize, to my great dismay and simultaneous delight, was that the built-in AMD Radeon graphics on this chip actually look BETTER than the mid-tier GTX 10-series that eventually started working. There was a washed-out and overly exposed character to the Nvidia graphics, while the Radeon built-ins came right out of the box looking rich, properly contrasted and - for lack of a better term - THICC... (plus, AMD's display management software beats Nvidia's any day, and this comes from a daily Nvidia driver) – IGPU PERFORMANCE (emulation gaming) Ok, so I didn’t build this test-bench for AAA gaming purposes. But I do like me some emulation, and I figured the G in “5700G” must have stood for “O.G.” So I threw on a PS2 emulator (PCSX2) and here are my very un-scientific results. Gran Turismo 3 was a little too stuttery at 2K (4x original resolution), though less than I thought; 4K was a no-go, though the system tried (6x original); and 1080p was ABSOLUTELY playable (3x original), and I plan to do it again sometime with a friend. You’d probably get the best outcome from 720, but I’m a little snobbish about my emulation standards. The entire CPU package itself got to 52° also, for what that’s worth, and the graphics processing ramped-up to 2000mHz. All-in-all, not bad for what you get especially considering how much emulators rely on V-ram (which there isn’t much of here). – CPU IMPRESSION As for the CPU itself, I'm equally impressed. I was ABOUT to click "buy" on the 5950X, since it seems to be the top of the line that AM4 will support as I went with a B550 motherboard instead of B650 for compatibility purposes (afterall, "testbench" remember?). I figured “well, it’s open-air, maybe I can get away with non-liquid cooling despite the 5950x’s product recommendation;” but then I realized I wouldn’t have had a grahpics backup, and as I mentioned, this would have been a disaster for not only my system setup, but also my wallet! So now not only am I saving on money and space, but I’m also saving on power as well. Win, win, win. – CPU/TEMP PERFORMANCE (non-gaming) Performance-wise, so far I've experienced no lagginess or lack of processing throughput thus far. It sticks around 4,000 mhz at any given time for basic tasks (3.7ghz to 4.5d), and alternates between low 30’s to low 40’s celsius. During non-overclocked performance testing (with Gigabyte autotune turned on) using Prime95, it hovered around 59-60° during a three minute “blend” test - but surprisingly, with “small FFT torture” it actually stuck around 55° instead. Only with CPU-Z multi-core stress testing did it get anywhere near 70° (and remember, this is with an open benchtable setup), so I’m really not worried about the temps – though I have no doubt their lower baseline due to this setup is probably contributing to its performance somewhat. Ambient temp of ~78° throughout. NOTE: This is with a bequiet! Pure Rock 2 FX, which looks really “benchin’” on my rig as well (see photo), and I’m sure is helping with those temperatures more than the included wraith cooler (which is still nice to have on hand as a backup). I also used Noctua NT-H1 grease this time, which seems to perform 1° better against Arctic’s MX-4 based on previous tests I did with my other system. – OPERATING SYSTEMS I forgot to mention, the operating systems I've deployed thus-far on this system have been: Windows 10 Fedora Linux and “Haiku” OS (yes, actually that) ALL of these have been completely functional right out-of-the-box, without the need for installing additional drivers. I only added the drivers for Windows 10 because I wanted the RADEON graphics management software, and also just to see what it would do. You could honestly live without them if you wanted because the hardware is simply so universally compatible. Giant plus there, especially for a workbench station. GIANT plus on AMD's part for making dedicated software for multiple Linux distributions as well. – TAKEAWAY After this experience, I’m seriously considering looking into Radeon for any graphical expansions I might want to do with this board. I didn’t expect its initial output to be so utterly solid. My only concern would be size in that case, since this is a Micro-ATX that I’m working with and it seems a long GPU would actually cover the SATA ports. But I need to stop overdoing it with my drives so much anyway XD – BOTTOM-LINE If you’re looking for something rock-solid for that lingering AM4 seat that can be relied upon under any conditions and you don’t want to spend a fortune, you CAN’T go wrong with this chip. Well worth the price, and well performing for the price range.

Huge upgrade from my old Athlon 3000G. Installation was straightforward once I updated my BIOS. The performance difference is immediately noticeable and everything feels snappier, games run way better, and I can actually multitask without my system choking. Temps are good with a decent cooler. Well worth the money if you need integrated graphics and solid CPU performance.

New and no issues. The only thing is it said "processor only" so I figured that the picture was generic and I'd get it in OEM packaging. It came with a wraith (stealth I assume, I didn't look) which I added to the pile, they're not bad coolers but I've got a wraith RGB I like so I reused it and have 3 of the stealth now in boxes. Regardless it installed fine and works great. I must have done something wrong in bios when I installed it because I had to re-enroll mok keys for my zfs kernel module in Debian 13, but that's not a big deal. It's working good on an ASRock b450m a/c rev.2.0 and xmp settings on my old ram, waiting on some faster and larger sticks to install. I'm not really a gamer so I couldn't really notice a different in this vs the 2400g but the core utilization is not maxed out anymore for my needs and in fact I have a lot more to work with now. I don't have a GPU or I would have much preferred the 5700x, and I gotta say I do have a little buyers remorse, but I wanted to be able to pass through a GPU to a VM sometimes too so I went back and forth for a while. I'll probably buy more outdated stuff in another 5 or 10 years if I really need it but I don't really see that happening for my use case.

I bought the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G to build a PC that could handle daily tasks, work, light gaming, and even some editing all without needing a dedicated graphics card right away. And honestly, I’m really impressed with how it performs. Right out of the box, this processor feels fast, stable, and efficient. With 8 cores and 16 threads, it handles multitasking like a champ. I can run multiple apps, edit videos, use development tools, and stream without lag or freezing. Everything is smooth and responsive. What really stands out is the integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics. For an APU, it performs surprisingly well. I’ve played games like GTA V, Fortnite, Valorant, and CS:GO at medium settings with stable frame rates. Of course, it’s not meant for ultra settings on AAA games, but it’s great if you're gaming casually or waiting to upgrade your GPU. Thermals are well-managed. The included Wraith Spire cooler isn’t high-end, but it’s more than enough for stock performance and keeps temps under control. Since the 5700G is unlocked, you also have room to overclock if you know what you’re doing. Installation was straightforward. I used it on a B550M motherboard (with BIOS update) and Windows recognized it immediately. For office work, editing, media, or everyday use, it’s more than enough. To sum it up: if you’re building a PC that needs to work hard, run smoothly, and save you money on a GPU, the Ryzen 7 5700G is one of the best options out there. I highly recommend it, especially if you want a future-ready system that doesn’t require a graphics card from day one.

This is a fantastic APU...I was coming from an 2400G that core was aperently ment for middle of the road performance with a side of it can do light gaming/rendering this one is a high end 8core/16thread with a side of it can also game/render lol...in all honesty I really didn't need anything this crazy I was just looking to put tother another ultra small form factor system and I wanted to try out the new inwin b1 case with it's improved(over the inwin chopin non pro{full disclosure I didn't know the chopin pro with the 200watt PSU existed cuz I probably wound have purchesed that instead of the b1 becase the brushed aluminum absolutely premium build and way better cooling with the all mesh side panel...ok I think I just talked myself into getting one of those aswell lol I'll turn the b1 into a server or something lol})power supply and odd not quite retro but not quite space age theme and this core ended up being listed around Thanksgiving for the MSRP of the 6core varient so that's why I got this and now my big rig with the 3700x is kinda put to shame lol...it is paired with a founders rtx 2070super tho so in that regard this Apu is not showing off but I have it paired with 32gb of ddr4 at 4000mhz cl18(cl16 easly achievable if I drop down to 3933 which I have done cuz Iv notice real performance difrences between cl16 and cl18 more so than any deminished performance from dropping 66mhz) and a 1tb nvme pcie4.0 SSD and 2 fairly fast 2tb SSHDs in the back of the b1 and also a secound m.2 measly 500gb nvme on a risser in the unused pcie16x slot and all together this system has unintentionally replaiced my main rig as my daily driver ..it's just so fast and if I'm not trying to game at 4k I don't even consider turning on the other system, considering I spend most of my time on Linux doing CPU intensive tasks and consuming multimedia not gaming this core is completely meeting all of my needs and arguably significantly exceeding them ...all the being sead I would not have payed for this core at much higher of a price, I know iv seen it upwards of $400...ya no that a non apu 12core/24thread price point but if you can catch this one on a sale for $300 or less it is an absolute beast with the added bonus of the best integrated graphics the modern world has seen to date🤪 ...later edit...well and addendum realy Ok so iv also purchased the 5600G and well, they feel the same, it is comparably fast vs the 8core at "normal" user tasks lol, I realy only see the 8 core stretch its legs when compiling large sets of source code and that's only if I deliberately tell it to use 16threads, ya honestly the 5600G might be the better of the 2 for its target userbase... BUT it needs to come in at a noticeable price difrence, unlike in my situation were they were both unbelievably cheap becase I caught them both will at a low point in the market... But ya I just wanted to add that little anecdote with my experience with both of these core, now being fair to the 8 core now I have the 6 core paired with only 16gb of ram in a asrock deskmini x300m, ya these to with there detremetanly difrent total price points don't feel difrent in any way with normal load, there both stupid fast giving you a respectable instruction per clock that I'll make "normal" people work and entertainment just butter smooth...what more needs to be sead realy lol...

It's a good CPU that is quite affordable at the moment. I bought a PC with this in it a couple years ago. I fortunately, the Mobo didn't have the onboard video ports to utilize the IGPU. PC did come with a RTX 3060. Good card. Though problem with the 5000 series Ryzen is their G series (apu) only comes with PCIe 3.0. For what it is, it runs cooler and a little less power than the next step up. I replaced it with a Ryzen 9 5950x (max that the system Mobo can use). While I love this processor....it definitely a furnace compared to the 5700g. My 5700g sat for half a year. Then I donated it along with some random spare parts I had to a friend of mine who wanted to upgrade from his i5-4590. The board he got have video ports. And the IGPU on it is way better than the old gtx 720 he's been using for years. I had to convince him to not put that graphics card back in. He never regretted it. He used the system as is till December when he was able to get his own RTX 3060 on sale. Anyways, I ended up buying another one recently when I decided to retire my old AMD A10 HTPC system I use for my semi truck. And decided to get this again. I originally wanted a i3 13100. But the itx Mobos were higher than the AM4 Mobo. And even harder to find LGA 1700 itx with DDR4 recently. So I went with AM4, and this time, going to use IGPU only. Itx case is tiny, and I needed to upgrade the PSU to be able to power it, let alone have the plugs to plug it on the board. So far, the 5700g have been an overkill for an HTPC itx system. And with the right low profile cooler, it runs way cooler than the old A10 system I had in it. Pros - Good Jack of all trades processor for small builds. Runs cool for what it's got to offer for multitasking. Cons - If you plan to use a graphics card, or need something faster than PCIe 3.0. Then get a Ryzen 5000 series without the igpu. Ryzen 7 5700x or lower will still be a great drop in for an itx build, if needing PCIe 4.0. especially for wanting to use a graphics card. Though at this point, an i5 or lower will be a better setup for an itx build.....if the prices for the Mobos would match AM4 offerings. Granted, similar problem for AM5s itx.

As expected, this CPU works well. It's built-in graphics were all that was needed in my build and the built-in cooler works well. Right now it's running idle at about 90 degrees Fahrenheit and zero percent utilization. Kicking it up to an 8 percent workload (searching for a string in disk files) brought it up to about 130 degrees. That completed in about 30 seconds searching through about 4G of data in an SSD looking for a six character string. Pretty cool, eh? It was running Win 10 Pro but now it's running Win 11 Pro. It's Windows and TPM compatible. Installation was easy as was the built-in cooler. It's been running 24/7 for three weeks now. Overnight it runs backups. While it's installed on a gaming motherboard, I only use the CPU's built-in graphics. Note that if you do use this feature you also need a motherboard that supports it. If you won't be using built-in graphics, it doesn't make much sense to get a CPU with that capability. Built-in graphics use main memory. I have 32G installed and think it's possible for as much as 16G of it to be allocated for graphics. I think that it's actually only actually using about 500M. This hasn't been double checked yet, though. I haven't worried enough about it enough to see if this was controllable, either. This CPU is in the third computer I've built, the second with built-in graphics. All of them were easy to install, worked as specified, and their built-in fans have all worked well enough. This is my second AMD CPU and I have an Intel CPU also. I'm five-star happy with all of them, so I can't really tell you how to choose one over another.
