How much better than Vega 7 is UHD 770?
just google it.
that is unequivocally false in gaming scenarios
@Pututo: Yes, it seems 5600G performs much better in real games than 770, about 15%~50% more fps.
The result of 770 was just refreshed to 2.6k after the site today's refresh, it was 2.3k when I posted my previous comment (before their daily refresh)

seems either a bug in the benchmark software or Intel is working really hard to post fake results to passmark (as they did before product launch to make core gen 10/11/12 looks much better on cpubenchmark.net than their real average scores)
PCIE 3.0 is fine as long as you don't buy a 6500 XT… rest are just a couple frames difference between 4.0 and 3.0… /who cares if you are down a couple frames?
How does this chip compare to the i5-12400 for gaming?
With a GPU?, i5 wins easily
Without a GPU, R5 wins easily
Paying a lot more for the motherboard sadly with the i5-12400's LGA 1700 chipset. Cheapest would be about $160.
Exactly, 5600x for $299 and a $70 B550 board is value hard to beat.
Thanks. Yeah I have a 480 RX, looking to upgrade to a 3060 as prices get better.
I wouldn't get a 3060, bad value card even when cards were closer to MSRP.
@Casomme: I've only just started looking into upgrades and I'm willing to listen to all opinions. What would you suggest for 1080p gaming?
@Orion au: I would probably stick with the RX480 for a little bit longer. Prices are coming down.
If I had to buy now the 3060ti for $759 posted earlier would be good.
Otherwise the 6600xt is often a good price.
Have half a mind to buy this for a 2nd build.
Same, but wife said no.
Any good deals on a divorce lawyer? haha
Not for $287.10 or less…..
Maybe for a single 6 minute time slot.
Do it clandestinely. If caught, you can say you are fostering/fixing a PC for a friend.
Any good deals on the 5700g?
I don't know why people are calling current gen and PCI-E 3.0 deal breakers. It's still 8GT/s and 32GB/s on a x16 slot (1GB/s on a x1 slot)
This CPU makes a decent PC:
Office: Fine
Windows 11: Fine
Graphics: Occaisonal graphics (fine), content creator (nope)
Retro gaming: Fine
Games at 1080p upto 2019: OK at Low and Med settings. Probably Good in some titles. 1440P and higher: nope
Web Browsing: Fine
YouTube and Video watching: Fine
Heat: Good (It's only a 65W processor so won't cause the kind of heat the higher end chips generate, the stock cooler works fine in both mATX and ATX, for ITX you might need to look at airflow in the case but I still think the chip should be OK).If you're running a 2200G or similar then you will definitely notice the difference. 3200G to this (maybe).
So for those with good components from 3 years ago and you want one FINAL upgrade this chip is fine.For those want 12th gen Intel performance and creators and gamers at 4K this is not the CPU you should look at (no iGPU would be sufficient). But those builds with the higher spec components and discrete GPUs will be multiples of the price of a system based on the 5600G.
Pair the 5600G with some decent RAM (3200MHz deals or 3600MHz deals, 16GB or 32GB) and you should be good to go.
What I would build (and I have two systems like these):
5600G
32GB 3200MHz RAM
mATX case
B450 or B550 board from your fav MB manufactuer (I usually use ASUS). Make sure it has BIOS flashback (where you can update BIOS without CPU, Memory or GPU installed as older Motherboards often need BIOS update to support 5xxx series Ryzen).
Samsung 970Evo NVME or SATA SSD
Spinning rust HDD if you want a large storage drive (NAS drive if it'll be on 24x7).
Win10 or Win11 (they seem to perform about the same for me).
If you hate Win most any Linux distro will be good too.
2 case fans in the case (normally a mATX case already comes with these and MB usually max out at 3 case fans for B450 and B550 based ones.This or Zen 4?
Vega 7 is so outdated.
Are m.2 ssd speed affected as well with this CPU? I.e pci 3.0 not pci 4.0 ?
The m.2 will run at whatever bus speed is available to it and it's design. For PCI-E 3.0 to affect performance your SSD will need to be transferring faster than 4GB/s. Example: The Samsung 970Evo is rated at 3.5GB/s so will not be faster than the bus.
However if there are multiple high-speed devices added (not that common in an APU based system) then you could saturate the bus. Whether it's actually a noticeable hit is another story (i.e. on a sustained transfer would you actually notice if it took 44s or 46s to finish?).
Also your use case matters, if you're transferring large datasets all day it would probably be affected. If you're just doing normal PC things and copying the occaisonal large multi-GB sized file I don't think you would.
The kinds of devices which can saturate a PCI-E bus: storage, network, graphics. Don't forget you still have USB 3.0 and 3.1/3.2 also sharing these buses but they don't tend to saturate the bus (the USB devices tend to be slower than motherboard installed devices).
Still available for $296.67 delivered (ebay plus) with code PLSMAR7
For those still on the fence on the 5600G AMD has just announced some new Zen3 and Zen2 based chips to fill out the lower end of the 5000 series CPU family.
In addition they will also extend CPU support 300 chipset based motherboards. This will start getting released towards end of April and therefore provides another upgrade path if the $200+ CPU pricing is a factor (i.e the lowest end of these new chips will be < $200 and $99 USD MSRP for the lowest one). This will definitely be the final AM4 supported chips as AMD will go Zen4,AM5 and DDR5 for the next gen towards the end of this year.

https://www.pcgamer.com/au/x370-b350-a320-bios-update-ryzen-…If you do want to go this path:
1. Wait till end of April for details
2. Check for BIOS updates for your motherboard (it will need to be at least AGESA 1.2.0.7 based to work with these just announced chips)
It comes with Vega 7 integrated graphics which is better than Intel UHD730/750.
the PCIE 3.0 is the deal breaker here.
