For others not already on a supported AM4 platform for the 5000-series CPUs, they are better off jumping to AM5 since AM4 is a waning platform and support for any AM4 chipset, including the B550, is going to continue to taper off.

Half the L3 cache, lower clock speeds. Not that much slower than a Ryzen 7 5700X.

It's not ideal for everyone, but if you think you will end up with this CPU and no graphics card, you have some peace of mind there. Starting with Ryzen 7000, almost every CPU has graphics with the exception of 7500F, and then the brand new 8700G has much more capable graphics that can plausibly be used for 1080p gaming.

The 5700G really shined 2 years ago when GPUs weren't available but now it's only ideal based on price or for minimal builds (no vid card) or for AI image generation as there is a special use case where the APU can help tremendously with that: see https://old.reddit.com/r/Amd/comm...pu_and_i

All of that being said I think the 5000 series has seen its days come and go. Time to step forward a generation or two unless your upgrading an old first or second generation Ryzen and have a board that can support it.
I use a couple of these for a virtual machine cluster because it has a decent sized cache (and it's Ryzen 7). The onboard graphics is OK for gaming but it also means I don't need to buy and install a power-hungry graphics card in a virtual machine host with no monitor.
It's a good compromise, plus it's AM4 so there is a range of cheap motherboards to use. I'm glad to see the prices have come back down close to where they were last summer.
It's also not considered an APU because the graphics are considerably better than APU graphics.
I was going to go with the MSI combo deal I mentioned earlier in this thread but decided to go with the 5600G deal and the GIGABYTE B550M AORUS Elite AX deal as I preferred the mATX mobo for a SFF build.
