In 1440p the CPUs would perform almost the same

[@francoisgagnonlemieux3135]

I have overclocked the 5700G RAM at 4200 because 5700G can do that(you can t do that with 5800X). Also, once overclocked, the 5700G had 15500 score on cinebench while 5800x had 16000. 3dmark scored 12600 for my 5700G as well as 12600 for my 5800X. I am gonna tell you, once overclocked, the 5700G do close the gap on the 5800X.

[@lievre460]

it doesn't close the gap at all. In productivity workloads such as R23 that mostly only cares about IPC and clock speeds sure but in actual games the 5800X still has a generational leap over the 5700G due to the small cache size. And at the end of the day if you're resorting to overclocking to close the gap the 5800X can simply do the same.

[@GabsARV]

I honestly think that the new 5000 APUs are a good mid to high end CPUs, although the 5700G does have a big difference between its older brother, it's just as capable, and not to mention having a decent iGPU included.

7:09 There is engine limitation in GTA V. It does not go much beyond 180 and starts get stuttery after that. And also thats why 5800x got worse 1% and 0.1% results. Also i can get the same results with my 3300x and rx 570 at 720p low in GTA V.

Honestly its cute to do 3080 vs a little APU, but i would prefer to see how the integrated stacks up compared to the cheep version of the 3000 series like the 3060 and also the previous 1660 and 2060. Im still on my 1070Ti so i wonder if its worth it going onboard.

Just get 3600 or 5600X now, unless you somehow need slow iGPU for something. 5600G and 5700G are overhyped, since both are badly gimped by their halved L3 cache and slower clockspeeds, which basically makes them drop between Zen 2 and Zen 3 CPUs with similar core counts in real world scenarios.

I’m curious how the 5700g scales with higher speed memory, it should max out higher than the 5800x due to not being a chiplet on infinity fabric. At least, if it’s similar to the 4750g pro it should clock much higher ram, maybe make up for the lack of cache somewhat

[@nevernicemeadow]

much underrated comment. such info is pretty hard to find... actually since i got the 5800x i was kinda upset about the high idle power consumption (or at low load). meanwhile i found out the chiplet design is the reason for this, which basically makes it always consume ~20 watts on top. for this reason i just sold my 5800x and 5700g incoming in few days... im a software dev working from home and my PC runs for round 15h a day. and 90% of that with very low load. Im very curious about the changes in watts from wall. measured different scenarios with the 5800x. in the optimal scenario i can even connect my 2 monitors to the mainboard and drive the OS graphics with the iGPU. And it should be possible to still set specific applications to use the 1080TI for computation and getting that passed through the board connectors. This will most likely save another 50watts consumed by the GPU when a lot of "office work" is being done, like microsoft teams + code editor, mail-program etc.. in such scenarios the 1080 TI goes up the first power state and starts to consume 60-70 watts instead of the usual 15 idle

[@MrMcGreed]

I have a 5800X, so this was interesting! And cool to see the APU have that much performance! Also: I'm even more thrilled to see Brett and UFD getting on with the benchmark videos. I know it's on top of a rough and unpleasant time for the entire team - but I still think the latest videos are awesome!

[@TheVerrm]

This review my friend only gives even more credibility to AMD claims of Zen 3+ with Vcache having so much more performance. It is obvious from this test how much Zen architecture relies on cache memory.

Can you try testing with the PCIE slot to run at 3.0 rather than 4.0? Some of the performance differences are really large.

While I'm really happy to see an 8-core launch at a good price point, the 5800x is still very-much justified in existing. The 5700g didn't obliterate the 5800x in price-to-performance as some PCMR bois were claiming.

[@reinhardtwilhelm5415]

Eh, barely. The 10850K and 3900X are both arguably stronger all-around alternatives, even if you sacrifice some gaming performance in CPU-limited scenarios. And all that aside, the 5800X was kind of dumb from the outset. 8 Zen 3 cores = ~10 Zen 2 cores, yeah, but we were already getting 12 of those for $410-420 a year ago.

[@billj5645]

5800X is currently about $400 which seems high compared to alternatives. It is interesting that the somewhat similar 5700G will have a MSRP lower than this. Or maybe this is a clue that you won't be able to actually buy one for MSRP. The 5700G is really for the people who don't need a dedicated GPU, or can't buy one right now. If you need more graphics performance than the 5700G can give then no need to buy one.

That pricing is pretty close. At $400 I would not understand the price difference between them for what amounts to a little bit more cache. At $299 to $341 maybe it is understandable.

I know this’ll sound really stupid but if all you can get right now is the 5700G trying to upgrade from a 1600 for X264 encoding for recording while still using an old GTX 1060 for a gpu. Just how much are you loosing out? If it matters I don’t play PC games much. I have a PS5 on a capture card and cpu encoding is better than the Nvidia encoder. I’m trying to hold out for an R9 3900x but the shortage…

Just upgraded my kid from a 3700x to a 5800x. Dang this thing runs hot! His stock water cooler just barely does the job. On the cinebench benchmark pushing the CPU to 100% that sucker creeps up from 85c to 90c. Scary hot. We have a be quiet cooler on the way. I hope that helps. For gaming he averages 65c to 75c. It runs good and fast but nowhere near as cool as my 5900x in my pc with the same water cooler. But given we can't find a 3080 video card anywhere this upgrade ought to help him get some more frames from his 5700xt. It seems to boost him 30-40 in Apex with all the settings set to high now.

all these huge difference just for 16MB L3 cache difference?

[@MarkLangdahl]

There are three major factors that make the 5800X stand out that much. One of them you can probably remove through the BIOS. The two others you'll just have to live with. 1. 32 vs 16 MB of cache is pretty much the difference between Zen 2 and Zen 3. Zen 2 has 16 MB per CCX Zen 3 has one 32 MB chunk. Zen 3 APUs have just the 16 MB so sort of the worst of both but with the other architectural changes of Zen 3. 2. PCIe gen 4 vs gen 3 is probably not that important unless you use a monster of a graphics card... Which you are. So that could be a factor. At least from what I've been able to find the iGPU doesn't take up eight lanes like it did on the 2xxx and 3xxxx series of APUs. 3. The lower TDP is followed by similarly low power limits. Unless you activate something like PBO the BIOS is going to limit the APU as far as I remember to 88W and the CPU to around 140W. That certainly can end up being significant in CPU bound scenarios. And both 720p and 1080p are usually CPU bound. So removing the power targets might make the difference a lot smaller. It would be fun to see if the results are different with a worse GPU.

[@tonton9598]

I'm just curious, is there any software, game, or task that would realistically benefit from the extra 16mb L3 cache of the zen 3? I'm trying to decide which processor to buy right now, and I'm tempted to spend more for a 5800x just because it's more powerful (and will probably give me futureproofing for a few more years)

[@MarkLangdahl]

@@tonton9598 there are definitely some tasks that benefit from a larger cache pool. When AMD showed off their 3D attached V-cache at Computex they reported 2-25% in games. IIRC League of Legends got 2% while a game like Gears 5 got 15%. AMD that was going from 64 MB of L3 cache on a 5900x to 192 MB. So basically going from a huge cache to a seemingly absurdly large cache. I think from Gamer's Nexus' reporting on the same subject code compilation is another task where speed is more or less directly depending on cache size while the benefits for photo editing was much smaller.

5700g is the chosen one vs 5600x😎, just little $ top up = mass improvements & has gtx 1050 inside too.

[@MarkoParavina]

I have a question for you dear UFD Tech. Will the ASUS B-550 F Gaming Motherboard work with AMD Ryzen 7 5800x CPU in combination? Will it be able to give me a picture through integrated Display Port or HDMI Port, if I don't have a separate graphics card? i.e. is it like it used to be with older computers. Of course I did an UPDATE to the last available BIOS from the motherboard via USB :-) Thank you very much :-)

the cost of a reduced cache size.
