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:

5700g are for those who don't really need a gpu for their needs.
5700x/5600x are more up your alley.
I did notice the difference, but the B350/450 boards will be locked at PCIE3 anyway.
If you are on a B550+, at this cost level the processor does not need PCIE4 for the GPU. The only performance difference that could be seen is with your SSD, and even then real world performance will be identical in almost every workload.
