If we're looking at a mid grade GPU like the RTX 3060 (which is not that impressive actually) the difference won't be much. Although, getting 100-200 fps on fortnite and "low" fps numbers in most of the benchmarks just won't be enough to force a realistic CPU bottleneck. Get games like Far Cry 5, Civilization VI, and maybe try to push like 100+ fps in all games, because the real difference always comes when the FPS targets are higher (this, in terms of CPU and RAM), and for "lower" FPS values almost any recent CPU will suffice

[@xeik2477]

Well, you are comparing performance on AAA games that are really GPU bound and the bottleneck is the 3060, on CS go and Valorant that are really CPU bound, that's when you see the biggest difference, you need to use a RTX 3070 / 3080 or 6700XT to really show the true potencial and difference between the chips, 5600X is way faster then 5600G.

I'm glad I watched it to the end. Almost missed that val/cs part because that's the only game I play. lol

[@soupit32]

The PCIe 4.0 support that the X has, is huge future-proofing. If you can get the X within 50 dollars more of the G then it's definitely worth it to get the X, in my opinion... of course, the G also has GPU chip in it and for very basic gaming you would do even without a GPU then...

[@Fred2-123]

There is no such thing as future-proofing. By the time you need it, everything you have is obsolete anyway. I thought I was future proofing a couple of years ago when I went for a high-end motherboard. But now AMD is obsoleting socket A4 and going to A5.

You may like to try the 5600g with ddr4 4400 ram, fclk set to 2200mhz. the x can't run fclk like that. you might find that you get a machine with a different character.

[@dimitriskaracostas7210]

So, I can buy either one Intel Core i3-12100 or a Ryzen 5 5600G for €110 and €120 respectively. According to most critics and reviews, the performance of each processor is pretty similar to each other. Since the price is practically the same and the i3 is newer and more energy efficient, the catch is the fact that the 5600G has 6 cores instead of 4 and its graphics are probably a bit superior. Lastly, no matter what my choice is going to be, I have found two similarly priced motherboards for either processor. Your help would be appreciated!

[@djnorth2020]

120 vs 130 is pretty much a draw. Percentage is misleading sometimes. 200 vs 400... I don't think you can tell the difference even with a 360 Hz monitor.

[@kasimirdenhertog3516]

The differences between these two are not merely specs, as in the X boosting higher and having more cache. The 5600G ‘Cezanne’ is a monolithic design and the 5600X ‘Vermeer’ a chiplet design. For people who care about idle/light load power consumption, this makes a world of difference. It is really impressive these G chips are positively frugal while offering similar performance to the X chips.

[@aspzx]

So just to be clear, which one offers low power consumption when idle, the G or the X?

[@kasimirdenhertog3516]

@@aspzx the G. They have the monolithic design and don't need to waste energy like the X, that has to traverse the chiplets.

I wish I had bought the 5600 or 5600X instead of G because the G version has half the L3 cache. I didn't realize that before I purchased it. It should be called the 5500G. False advertising it is.

[@Chemy.]

great comparison video man

[@BeatsbyVegas]

Is there a reason they didn’t include the whole 32mb of cache? Is it because it would take up too much die space when they also have an igpu in the package? Also maybe its only pcie gen 3 to work at lower power targets that system integrators, and oem’s would prefer?

[@InDreamsYourMine]

My guess is to allow more physical and thermal headroom for the GPU.

What was power consumption differences? I'm looking to swap my 5600x for a 5600g since the monolithic nature has much lower idle power and likely quite a bit lower load power consumption.

[@jerryknudsen7898]

Considering the price difference, still might get the 5600G. Right now it's $230 vs $299. I wonder if they had the same clocks what the Valorant difference would have been. I'm sure that cache was the big factor in the 50%, but I wonder how much of it.

I realize this is an old video but something I hear no one talking about is the fact that you can clock ram about 1000 GHZ faster on the 5600g than the 5600x resulting in about a 37% ram bandwidth boost over the 5600x. This can cause for fps improvement in games such as spiderman where ram speed is the bottleneck.
