Super Small Ryzen 5700G Emulation Monster! This APU Can Do It All!

This Tiny Ryzen 5700G PC can run It All! In this video, we take a look at the emulation performance of the all-new AMD RYZEN 7 5700G "Spoiler alert" IT IS A MONSTER! with 8 cores and 16 threads running at up to 4.6GHz and backed by built-in Radeon Graphics this has been the most powerful APU River ever tested.
We test out PSP using PPSSPP, Sega Saturn with The bottle core and Yaba Sanshiro,3DS using CITRA, Gamecube and Wii with Dolphin, Switch using THIS, Xbox, Xbox 360, and even WiiU using CEMU.

After 10 years of various Intel i7s, I've just switched to AMD after seeing this video. Although I own an NVidia RTX 2080 Super, I've had enough of big cases to find space for big GPUs.

I'd love to see you play some older games with this particular APU. If its running the latest games at low/medium settings at 1080p, I'd like to see it run something like Oblivion, Skyrim, or even Fallout 3 and New Vegas at their highest settings at 1080p.

Seeing the cpu power usage alone (nearing 100W) I really wonder if this system will keep up on the long term having only a 150W PSU. Storage, memory,... require some watts as well. But great video!

[@MrSlowestD16]

Yeah but it's probably only 10 or 15w between the storage & memory. I agree the PSU is getting up there, but there's really not much else to draw.

[@denvera1g1]

I honestly wonder if it would perform any differently if the CPU were locked to 3.7Ghz instead of boosting to the moon, would be interesting to see a 30-60w power target for that processor still as long as the GPU still ran at 2000+mhz i'd be happy though i still feel like the aging vega graphics are holding this powerhouse back, This generation I really would have liked to see a ryzen 5 5470GX with 4 cores 8 threads, and 12 Vega CUs running at 2200mhz

[@gianlucap1935]

For me this is the way to go with emulation and sofa gaming: small form factor box, powerful APU, lot of ram, SSD and Windows or Linux. But the best part is that a device like this can work also as HTPC and YT browser, and the user doesn't have to mess around with the Android interface and apps. Also, this is the kind of hardware that one can buy used and fit inside an old unused dvd player, with some modding.
