It's just a very fast 8-core CPU (more than what you would need for office tasks and most games) with relatively weak graphics, that can be enough for 1080p depending on the game.

AMD is cognizant of a segmentation problem and is likely adjusting graphics to push people to buy higher-core APUs:

5600G = 7 Vega compute units (CUs)
5700G = 8 Vega CUs

That's 87.5% of the CU count in the cheaper model. But with Rembrandt:

6600H = 6 RDNA2 CUs
6800H = 12 RDNA2 CUs

Such a big difference that it led to complaints.

We'll have to see what adjustments they make with a 7n35 refresh of mobile Rembrandt, and what the first desktop APUs on AM5 look like.

Bottom line, you should probably get a 5600G instead of a 5700G. But if the price difference is small and you are going to use the CPU for several years, the 5700G is your final APU choice on the AM4 socket.
5700G supports up to PCIe 3.0 x16 (your motherboard can lower this), but not PCIe 4.0. So if you do add discrete, something that can use at least x8 lanes is preferred, like an RX 6600.

Here's someone limiting a 6600 XT to PCIe 3.0 x8, without much difference in most cases:

And another article:

https://www.techpowerup.com/revie...ng/25.html

You should absolutely not get a 6400/6500 XT, because it would drop down to PCIe 3.0 x4 and lose a lot of performance. The low 4 GB of VRAM also contributes to the effect because it has to fetch data from main memory more often:

Isn't it made for people who want built-in graphics? It saves you the cost of buying a video card.

I never knew AMD made a Ryzen 7 APU. This looks like a very similar iGPU to the other ones , and it's almost as expensive as a regular Ryzen 7, so who is this for?

Very knowledgeable answer. So if you'd pair a MB with a 5600g/5700g , what features you would be look at to take advantage of it's potential while stay in the cheap?

I didn't put a lot of thought into my choices at the time. I found an exceptionally cheap B450 ATX motherboard at Micro Center, paired it with a 5700G, and added an old GPU I had.

If you are picking up an older motherboard such as B450, make sure you're able to flash the BIOS to actually support the 5700G if you need to. I was able to do it using the BIOS flash back feature.

Consider going to a smaller size of motherboard if you want to make a compact APU system with no GPU. If you don't add a GPU, whatever display outputs are on the motherboard are what you get.

I had to add a Wi-Fi card to mine because the motherboard didn't have it integrated.

You are going to lose PCIe 4.0 no matter what, so that's another reason to go cheaper. Although my B450 board supports PCIe 4.0, I could have gone with A520, which only supports PCIe 3.0 and no overclocking [techpowerup.com].

if you're getting a gpu, I wouldn't get a 5700g.
5700g are for those who don't really need a gpu for their needs.

5700x/5600x are more up your alley.

Correct, like a home server. Save the PCIE slots for NVME adapters.

In my opinion, the best application of this cpu is to build it for TV. The graphic is still GCN, which means it still has the AMD Fluid Motion. You can use it to boost the frame rate of video content like movies.

I bought one of these a few months ago, nice to be able to use my computer while I waited for GPU prices to come down. Cool to have integrated graphics to fall back on for whatever reason too. Gets about 14000 in Cinebench R23.

Finally just picked up a used 3080 10GB for $450, works great. 17500 graphics score in TimeSpy. Enjoying 4K gaming.
