AMD launches Ryzen 5000G and Ryzen 5000GE series: Ryzen 7 5700G with "world's fastest graphics in a desktop processor" easily outguns the Intel Core i7-10700

The AMD Ryzen 5000G and Ryzen 5000GE series of desktop APUs are now official. Three processors make up each series at the moment for a total of six SKUs. While the Ryzen 5000G family consists of the Ryzen 7 5700G, Ryzen 5 5600G, and Ryzen 3 5300G, the Ryzen 5000GE series has exactly the same model names and simply switches the “G” suffix for “GE”. The Ryzen 5000G and 5000GE processors differ in regard to default TDP and base clock rates: The “G” chips get a TDP of 65 W while the power-saving “GE” units settle for 35 W TDP. Full specs for the Cezanne Zen 3 desktop APUs are listed below:

APU model | Cores/Threads | Base clock | Boost clock | Cache (L2 + L3) | iGPU | iGPU clock | TDP |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Ryzen 7 5700G | 8/16 | 3.8 GHz | 4.6 GHz | 20 MB (4 + 16) | Vega 8 | 2.0 GHz | 65 W |
Ryzen 7 5700GE | 8/16 | 3.2 GHz | 4.6 GHz | 20 MB (4 + 16) | Vega 8 | 2.0 GHz | 35 W |
Ryzen 5 5600G | 6/12 | 3.9 GHz | 4.4 GHz | 19 MB (3 + 16) | Vega 7 | 1.9 GHz | 65 W |
Ryzen 5 5600GE | 6/12 | 3.4 GHz | 4.4 GHz | 19 MB (3 + 16) | Vega 7 | 1.9 GHz | 35 W |
Ryzen 3 5300G | 4/8 | 4.0 GHz | 4.2 GHz | 10 MB (2 + 8) | Vega 6 | 1.7 GHz | 65 W |
Ryzen 3 5300GE | 4/8 | 3.6 GHz | 4.2 GHz | 10 MB (2 + 8) | Vega 6 | 1.7 GHz | 35 W |
Intriguingly, one of the Ryzen 5000G and Ryzen 5000GE’s selling points, according to AMD, is that they feature the “world’s fastest graphics in a desktop processor”. The footnotes offered up by Team Red reveal that the tests that helped the company arrive to this conclusion involved the Ryzen 7 5700G, Ryzen 5 5600G, and Ryzen 3 5300G being pushed through the 3DMark Time Spy benchmark. The competition chosen for the comparison were the Intel Core i7-10700, i5-10600, and i3-10300, so 10th Gen Comet Lake chips with UHD 630 integrated graphics. (Tests took place before Intel’s 11th Gen Rocket Lake series was launched.)
The not-too-shabby AMD Ryzen 7 5700G chip is definitely the pick of the bunch. In many cases, gamers could expect double or more faster gaming performance (~2.17x) out of this Cezanne Zen 3 chip in comparison to its direct Intel competitor according to slides released by AMD. In addition, the same APU can offer around +38% faster performance in content creation and up to +80% speed gains in compute performance (vs. Intel Core i7-10700). AMD states the Ryzen 5000G and Ryzen 5000GE series are headed to OEMs only; however, another source believes desktop PC builders may be able to obtain the APUs later on this year.
