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

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:

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].

5700g are for those who don't really need a gpu for their needs.
5700x/5600x are more up your alley.
Finally just picked up a used 3080 10GB for $450, works great. 17500 graphics score in TimeSpy. Enjoying 4K gaming.
