Until this part you pretty much knew what you were getting with AMD when it came to non-OEM parts. Retail Non-X parts were a clock reduction and that was it. You didn't really need to be spying out stuff like cache size or PCIe revision support in the spec sheet. Now AMD can't be trusted going forward to abide by the rules of their naming scheme that they've established. I fucking hate scummy deceptive confusopoly crap like this but the problem is the only viable competition is vastly worse when it comes to this so it's not like I can take my money to somewhere else that doesn't indulge in this crap.

[@GhostAcez]

@@devilmikey00 What they have done with their mobile naming scheme is even worse starting with the "7000" series. They are literally selling zen 2 chips as "7000" series chips to trick people who haven't memorized their new naming scheme into buying old chips basically. For anyone that doesn't know the new naming scheme is this (using 7745hs as example) - The first number is the year it was released, second number is the level it is (ryzen 7 in this case), third number is the actual generation now (zen 4 or actual ryzen 7000 in this case) and the last number and letters are the version of that chip. The letters can also trick you too because for instance the 7940hs and 7945hx are completely different chips with only the number and letter at the end being different. The 7940hs is an 8 core chip. The 7945hx is a 16 core chip. 2 completely different level of cpus with a very similar name. It's annoying.

[@johnscaramis2515]

This has nothing to do with newer ones, but with desktop/mobile SKUs. PCIe3 simply requires less energy and in mobile parts you usually slower GPUs anyways. Less cache = less power draw. Same for the current 8000 APU lineup: just like all other Ryzen APUs before, these are mobile APUs with higher TDP and with PCIe4 instead of PCIe5.

[@joaopedrogod]

Cezanne is developed "mobile first" and come to desktop some time later and limiting to pcie-3 saves power. I have a 5600G in another machine and is amazing power efficiency. For me it's not the pci-e 3.0 the problem, but "only" 16MB L3 cache.

[@devilmikey00]

To be fair, that's pretty much how every CPU is. CPU can't quite get up to the clock speeds of an X part? Well sell it as a non-X part. Two out of 8 cores don't function properly but the other 6 are fine? Turn off those two and sell it as a x600 instead of an x800 and so on and so forth. They are selling this as a non-IGPU part thus the lack of a G in the suffix. The deception is in the cache, lack of ECC support and no PCIE 4.0 based on the name which breaks all the prior rules of AMD's naming scheme from the past for non-oem parts.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

And the ironic thing is, the MX 460 was a decent budget card. Yes, no DX 8.1 support, but DX7 performance was fine.

[@syncmonism]

The biggest problem with the 5700 is the price, because I really think that both the 5600 and the 5700X are a better value, ESPECIALLY for gaming. I don't think AMD is obligated to make the naming conventions completely consistent with previous generations, but in this case, I would agree that the naming combined with the pricing is misleading. That larger cache on the 5600 and the 5700X is a HUGE deal, and likely will be an increasingly big deal over the next few years as games become more CPU demanding. This product should be cheaper, and if it was, I wouldn't mind the naming.

[@syncmonism]

The 5700 might look like a reasonable value based on these charts, but the fact that even the cheaper 5600 is a better gaming CPU is a big problem. In the context of the cost of the entire system, the 5700X would be well worth the extra price vs. the 5700, especially because there are limited upgrade options other than the X3D equiped Zen 3 chips. Of course, the 5700X3D might be an even better value, and simply upgrading to an AM5 system with a 7600 is arguably also going to be a better option for a lot of people (all three are extremely cost effective options, and probably better than the very mediocre 5700). In the past, the X versions have often been overpriced for virtually no improvement, and that is arguably more misleading. People should assume that a different name MAY mean significantly different performance and/or features. Even the 5600 will likely be the better gaming CPU over the next few years in most games simply because of its much larger L3 Cache, and the 5700X is, for the same reason, a much better CPU than the 5700 non X in gaming. There's also the PCIe support differences, which is another issue. To me, the naming of the 5700 is misleading, but only in conjunction with the price. If the price was as low as the 5600, or lower, I think people would be dumb to assume that the 5700 is just a slightly slower version of the 5700X, and they'd still be getting a good product for the price, capable of handily beating the 5600 in heavily threaded workloads, and even in some games, but with the current pricing, it's reasonable for people to expect the 5700 to just be a somewhat slower version of the 5700X, but it ISN'T. The price is too high.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

I looked at the price, and right now the 5700X is actually slightly cheaper than the 5700, and the 5600 is vastly cheaper. And while the 5700X3D is obviously more expensive (more than a 5800X actually) it's pretty much equal in cost to a 7600 for a whole platform purchase.

[@revheadgaming5683]

AMD really did reverse-X3D stuff to the 5700X for this one.

This CPU is not from Vermeer lineup, so it doesn't come from 5700X being stripped of X and cache. It is Cezanne 5700G which was stripped of iGPU (and letter G in naming). Confusing, yes, logical... Also yes, surprisingly. And AMD APU's have 16MB of cache. So everything lines up.

Classically AMD (and ATi before that) had "LE" on their cut down graphics. And sometimes give them a name in the lower bracket. So this could be a Ryzen 7 5700 LE or a Ryzen 7 5650 or something like that. Or, considering it's the 5700G without graphics, something to denote that. Looking back at their Phenom II and FX chips, Ryzen 7 5700E or Ryzen 7 5700T could work. They used E on their slightly slower APUs. The 5600G has graphics, the 5600GE also has graphics but is slower. A bit like how Intel uses F on their chips, with and without combining it with their K moniker for unlocked chips, their X moniker for extreme/enthusiast chips , their T moniker for low power chips and their E moniker for embedded chips, which can also be combined in various ways.

[@RobBCactive]

Agreed it should be 5700F or 5700GF. This is not defensible and stems from the APU 5000 models not having something like Ryzen APU 7 in their brandingm but I can see why it'd require a large price drop to sell an APU 5700F as a scavenged part.

There is a good chance that half of what was disabled was fine, but it has to make the L3 symmetric across cores.

Only thing that bother me in 5700 is lack of pci-e 4.0. Yes, in stock it has lower performance that you expect, but due to monolithic design you can expect 4200+ ram speed, that can make absence of 16MB L3 not so painful :)

[@EMU1]

5650 maybe? but I think 5700 (with a letter denoting disabled iGPU) would be a welcome addition to the naming of these CPU's for clarity. I have a few 5300g and 5600g CPU's and they arent BAD CPU's, but are definitely not as strong IPC as the chiplet based CPU's when using discrete GPU's. However, they have considerably lower latency and are great for memory overclocking. However, that doesnt make up for the lower cache present on the CPU.

The group of people who both know enough to remember AMD's previous pattern and who also wouldn't look at benchmarks before buying can't be more then a rounding error.

I am not sure what to think of this one naming wise. I understand it can be misleading, but on the other hand it's a 5700g without the Graphics so the name does make sense there. With ryzen 7000 cpu's include integrated graphics by default, so here there would need to be a qualifier that it doesn't. Other than that I don't think x vs non x ever implied a clock speed drop per-se, just a slower version with the same core count, this could also be a drop in cache size. Still calling it the 5700GF would have been better.

[@RobBCactive]

It really should have an F in there, the X, XT have always been clock speed & TDP; selling a G model as if it added gfx without compromises on PCI & L3 was always unclear, so dropping any suffix is doubly so.

The market I can see is software that wants 8 cores, but doesn't need 32 MB cache. Basically als alternative to the 5600X, which has less cores, but more cache and clockspeed. A bit like in the Ryzen 1000 days. You could get a Ryzen 1700 or an i7-7700K. One would have more cores for wide tasks, the other faster cores for narrow tasks.

Yet here we're getting a Ryzen 7 5700 which doesn't support PCIe 4.0 (10:24) so it probably means it's Zen 3 Cezanne, and it's very likely they had to name it this way because the Ryzen 7 5700G already exists.

I actually gave Asus a tonne of crap, thinking it was their board (B450m-a) because I was not getting near the performance of every tech tuber I watched, then a 2700X came up for sale locally for cheap, I bought it, slotted it in and it was night and day, I had to go hunting for comments I'd made about the Asus board and delete them.

Thank you Steve to clearing this up, it's very valuable!

How is total cost of ownership? I suspect you're going to feel the difference in the power bill. Did you test that?

It's Cezanne, meaning it's monolithic and can clock RAM to the sky to make up for the L3. If you benched with DDR4-3200-3600 or whatever then you did it a disservice. You can get cheap Micron E and clock it well to 4633MT/s very easily. Not to mention you can run +200 PBO with a 104 base clock and still run quite cool compared to Vermeer.

As tech outlet they probably have some enthusiast grade DIMMs around. But most people won't have that. And if you can spend the money for expensive memory, you could also spend the money for a better CPU. And I doubt a 5700 with DDR4-4633 would be that far ahead of a 5700X or 5900X with DDR4-3800

MIcron E die is Cheaper than Samsung B-die @@HappyBeezerStudios I have overclocked several $60 kits of DDR3-3600 Ballistix to over 4600MT/s on Cezanne which is easy because pretty much every Cezanne can do 2500MHz Fabric clock. I also own 5800X3D, 5800X, 5950X, and and plenty of Samsung b-die. This is just lazy reviewing by a bunch of amateurs.

You're missing the OEM-only 5800 (non-X) in your chart at 3:50.

[@Hardwareunboxed]

We didn't include OEM parts.

[@johnbernhardtsen3008]

guess what cpu im using now?!!!!didnt know the 16mb cache would affect gaming so much!

[@zodwraith5745]

AMD just straight up dumping the garbage can they filled up at the end of the production line on the market aren't they? 🤦🏻‍♂🤦🏻‍♂

[@MaxIronsThird]

The problem here is that the they called what was supposed to be a 5800 non-X, a 5700X bc they wanted better margins by not bundling a cooler with it, there is even an OEM only 5800 that is the exact same chip as the 5700X. Then the now 5800G with a disabled iGPU could be called a 5700 just fine, just like the 5600G without iGPU is called 5500. 5800X -> 5800 -> 5800G -> 5700 -> 5600X -> 5600 -> 5600G -> 5500

Now one could stick Ryzen 5700 on x570 and pair it with a RX 5700. It makes perfect sense.

While that would be fun, I'd prefer an Athlon II 420e with a GT 420 and DDR2-420 and a 120 GB SSD + 300 GB HDD for 420 GB storage, all run on a 420W PSU
