AMD Announces Ryzen 5000 G-Series Desktop Processors with Radeon Graphics (for OEM)
And before you ask, no AMD did not send samples for review. AMD introduced the AMD Ryzen 5000 G-Series (Cezanne), Desktop Processors, with Radeon Graphics, delivering a unique combination of features enabling gamers and content creators to do more.
AMD announces processors in three series, Ryzen 3 5300G with 4c/8t, Ryzen5 5600G with 6c/12t, and Ryzen 7 5700G with 8x/16t. The product developed under codename Cezanne provides the Ryzen 5000 processors (ZEN3) with an integrated Vega GPU. The models get a TDP of 65W, there will also be a GE variant of each SKU with a lower TDP of 35 watts. T
The APU series, much like the early 4000G series release, will see the products end up on prebuilt PCs only, which means there will not be retail availability anytime soon. AMD has shared some slides with us, and they indicate its 8-core Ryzen 7 5700G will be up to 38% faster in content creation, up-to 35% faster in productivity, and 80% in computing performance in comparison to Intel Core i7-10700 CPU codenamed Comet Lake-S. The 6-core and 4-core Ryzen 5 5600G and Ryzen 3 5300G are being compared to Intel Core i5-10600 and Core i3-10300 sequentially. In the slide decks below you can see the specifics.
| Model | Cores / Threads | Clock speed (base/boost) | Cache (L2 + L3) | iGPU | iGPU clock | TDP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ryzen 7 5700G | 8/16 | 3.8 / 4.6 GHz | 20 MB (4 + 16) | Vega 8 | 2.0 GHz | 65W |
| Ryzen 7 5700GE | 8/16 | 3.2 / 4.6 GHz | 20 MB (4 + 16) | Vega 8 | 2.0 GHz | 35W |
| Ryzen 5 5600G | 6/12 | 3.9 / 4.4 GHz | 19 MB (3 + 16) | Vega 7 | 1.9 GHz | 65W |
| Ryzen 5 5600GE | 6/12 | 3.4 / 4.4 GHz | 19 MB (3 + 16) | Vega 7 | 1.9 GHz | 35W |
| Ryzen 3 5300G | 4/8 | 4.0 / 4.2 GHz | 10 MB (2 + 8) | Vega 6 | 1.7 GHz | 65W |
| Ryzen 3 5300GE | 4/8 | 3.6 / 4.2 GHz | 10 MB (2 + 8) | Vega 6 | 1.7 GHz | 35W |

Shame they put it against 10th Gen Intel rather than 11th Gen that has a considerably better integrated graphics. Be interested to see who comes out on top.

I Agree they should have compared to the 11th gen Intel but I really doubt it would have changed much intels igpu hasn't improved that much if gamers nexus recent video is to be believed.
On a side note it is a shame to not see the lowest end sku with the top end igpu available for smaller form factors.

on the topic of amd's integrated graphics, how are they these days?...mainly driver wise?
people have been saying there oke but they said that for a while and i dissagree'd strongly last time.
my first pc had a ati 9250 (way back) but it's drivers were a flaming heap, years later i upgraded my mom's pc with a intel i3 2100t and a passive ati 6570 that had daily driver crashes (general opinion on drivers back then was they were "good")
which is why when a few years later i had some spare money i upgraded her pc again to a intel i3 7100t with igp which driver wise has been great (she watches movies and plays facebook games and such so it was fine for a wile). now her pc is suprisingly slow now and then so i'm thinking of upgrading it yet again but intel switched sockets so amd is on the table as a new motherboard will be needed anyway....
just not sure if the integrated graphics will just be there and work or if she can look forward to long stretches of driver crashes for god knows what reason (i looked i updated drivers when new one's arrived i have no idea what caused the drivers to crash, some drivers made it better some worse but none fixed it, neither did a fresh windows just worked fine for a couple month's and then it gradually got worse)
(also with the parts listed "upgrade" might seem like a big word but i assure you the new parts were plenty faster then the old parts...but also a lot more efficient
)

In times of original ATi 9000 series, ATi was far ahead of nVidia in terms of new DX availability and image quality. Drivers were same on both sides. A lot of overrides and hacks available. (As game making was really wild west.)
Who did not use Ray Adams Tray Tools was not having much fun with ATi. And soft-modding to FirePro and Quadro was common for many GPUs.
On ATi's side I got even better IQ with mod. And with nV GPU mod, I had extra "free" performance.
If that 6570 was actually HD 6570, it was last generation of VLIW5 and that was problem free with drivers. My last VLIW5 was mobility HD5870 and it was last GPU I managed to mod (vBIOS) to get FirePro. That resulted in better IQ in DX9 games and occasional better performance in OpenGL. (Laptop is now running linux and sits meter from me. It has i7-720qm which performs quite well today as it is 4C/8T. But its power efficiency is bad. Those 5000G APUs are quite stronger on GPU side, and i7-720qm can't even compete in CPU side with modern and high clocked 4C/8T. Even 15W mobile APUs do better job today than old 50W GPU+45W CPU.)
Most common cause for driver crash ever was actually unstable GPU itself. And what changed with driver releases over time was their ability to fully load GPU. Which means more/less heat and likelyhood of bad GPU crashing. I used to do benchmarking (including measurement of GPU utilization during bench) with every new driver to see if things improved or got worse as difference was quite big at times.
Last APU I built was 2400G which has practically same GPU as those in 5000G series. Except it had Vega 11 and therefore 11 compute units, but clocked lower. It was defect free and performed reasonably well considering limited memory bandwidth.
But here is the thing. I generally never have issue I can't track back to myself as cause or to defective HW. And then when I know what went wrong, I fix it or RMA.

Good thing it will only be available for pre-built systems at first. That means people will actually be able to get them for a reasonable price. By the time supply keeps up with demand, then they can sell these, where scalpers can't afford to buy out the whole stock.
