AMD has unveiled its first Ryzen 5000 series processors with built-in AMD Radeon Graphics.<\/p>\n
The Ryzen 5000G line-up features six distinct APUs which use AMD’s latest 7nm processor cores designed with Zen 3 CPU microarchitecture, offering faster, more efficient performance.<\/p>\n
These have the same number of cores as their Ryzen 4000G predecessors\u2212 but with higher clock speeds and IPC enhancements.<\/p>\n
The new G-series APUs are available with four cores, six cores, or eight cores, with 65W and 35W versions for each.<\/p>\n
The top-end Ryzen 7 5700G boasts eight cores, 16 threads and a boost clock speed of up to 4.6GHz.<\/p>\n
Like all Zen 3 processors, the Ryzen 5000G chips feature a faster DDR4-3200 interface, which will help the integrated Vega GPU perform better in games.<\/p>\n
AMD claimed that with its built-in graphics, the top-end Ryzen 5700G is 38% better in content development, 35% quicker in productivity, and more than twice as fast in gaming compared to Intel’s Core i7-10700.<\/p>\n
While Vega is an older graphics technology, AMD has said the 5700G processor will be fast enough to run casual games like Overwatch, Rocket League, and Fortnite.<\/p>\n
The new APUs will be good news for those looking to start with a modest PC build they can expand with a discrete graphics card at a later stage.<\/p>\n
Due to severe chip shortages, the prices of graphics cards have surged in recent months.<\/p>\n
For now, the Ryzen 5000G series is only available in pre-built OEM systems, however, but AMD has confirmed that it will also be coming to retail for standard and gaming systems.<\/p>\n
The pricing of the new APUs has not been revealed.<\/p>\n
