The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G, Ryzen 5 5600G, and Ryzen 3 5300G Review

4K Minimum with RTX 2080 Ti
By contrast to 1080p Max, our 4K Minimum testing aims at finding differences between CPUs at a playable resolution. There is still pixels to churn, but the 2080 Ti should at least be hitting 60 FPS in most games here.
A full list of results at various resolutions and settings can be found in our Benchmark Database.
No real change in Chernobylite.
Civilization 6 gets a smaller increase in performance here than the 1080p Maximum test, but there's still a benefit over the previous generation. That being said, the AMD desktop CPUs with more cache pull ahead a lot here.
Deus Ex seems to come to an asymptotic limit, and while the 4000G APUs were behind the curve, the 5000G APUs are solidly there.
All CPUs pretty much hit a limit in FF15 above and Far Cry 5 below.
GTA 5 hits an odd glitchy mess around 180 FPS, and the new 5000G CPUs can push the RTX 2080 Ti in that direction a bit further - at this point it's probably best to start cranking up some detail to avoid it.

"What makes these ones different this time around is that Intel is cutting the Ryzen 3 from retail,"AND here, not Intel.

And they use Zen3 *processors*, not graphics.Rudde - Wednesday, August 4, 2021 - link
“As it stands, these two new processors at retail fill out Intel’s retail offerings, at least down to $259.”Again, it is AMD's retail offerings.

Intel features prominently at the forefront of Ian's conscious mind. :)abufrejoval - Wednesday, August 4, 2021 - link
I thought that was pretty funny, but after so many years of reviewing CPUs perhaps it does become a bit tiresome.This chips would have made a huge wave two years ago and still received raving reviews a year ago.
Today it's still excellent, but no longer that exciting.
Good value, through.

Vega is showing its age. We all know the next big APU is Rembrandt with RDNA 2 graphics. After that, maybe Strix Point (rumored big/little).vlad42 - Thursday, August 5, 2021 - link
Rembrandt will most likely use RDNA1 as AMD just recently submitted drivers to the Linux kernel for a new RDNA1 based APU. It is unlikely they are planning to release another APU given we have not heard any rumors to that effect. Though I would love to be wrong!nandnandnand - Thursday, August 5, 2021 - link
No, it will use RDNA 2, just like Van Gogh (Steam Deck). That RDNA 1 APU is probably some embedded part.vlad42 - Thursday, August 5, 2021 - link
I have seen no indication of such a part from the roadmaps AMD has presented in the shareholder meetings. Every official roadmap has shown Van Gogh, Rembrandt and if I remember correctly, some other iteration of Renoir/Lucienne. Given that every previous embedded chip has just been a variation of the laptop/desktop SKUs, it is highly unlikely they would hide the existence of a new dedicated embedded chip from investors (they can get sued over that!).I guess it could be a semicustom part where the customer wants open source Linux drivers?
Remember how all the late stage rumors claimed Renoir and then Cezanne would use RDNA1, while the early rumors for both claimed Vega? New rumors that pop up in the months leading up to a new chip launch claiming radical technology changes from previous rumors, such as a change in GPU architecture, are normally wrong/bogus.
It seems more realistic to temper expectations and assume Rembrandt will use RDNA1 given the driver submission, fact that all early rumors suggested so, and that it is the only other APU we know of that is releasing in the near future.

Just saw your post down below. I must have missed that Yellow Carp was for an APU as well. For some reason, I thought it was for the entry level discrete market.Maybe I missed that there is a new embedded market chip (it's not like they get much news coverage) or it is a semicustom part like I suggested above. It seems too early for Yellow Carp to be for the Zen4 based APUs unless they are coming sooner than we think or AMD is starting to upstream driver work earlier.
