How is the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G (Good or Bad)

In terms of performance, 5600G absolutely destroys its intel counterparts with up to 30-40% higher performance when compared to its Intel counters (i5-10600). The “G” over here indicates the following CPU comes integrated with graphics. AMD recently AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is more than enough for your day-to-day tasks such as Browsing, Streaming, and using office productivity applications with plenty of room for multitasking. Now, if your day-to-day workflow involves using video editing, photo editing, and 3D applications the 6 core AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is a very capable processor and should easily be able to handle such workloads.

AMD Radeon RX Vega 7

The AMD Radeon RX Vega 7 Graphics comes integrated with AMD Ryzen 7 4000 series CPUs and Ryzen 5 5000 series CPUs. Launched in January of 2020 the iGPU is based on Vega architecture and comes with 7 CUs.

How is AMD Ryzen 5 5600G for gaming 

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is powered by the Vega 7 Graphics which has a performance comparable to that of Nvidia Mx250 with 2GB of graphics memory and slightly below Vega 8 graphics and is capable of gaming at the medium setting with decent frame rates. That being said performance of the Vega 7 Graphics depends on a number of factors such as the configured TDP (12-25 Watts), Clock Speed, Cooling Solution, and RAM configuration.

3D Animation and Rendering

• Cinebench R20
• Cinebench R15
• Cinebench R23

Based on cinema 4d the Cinebench R20 measures CPU performance in animation, 3d-modeling, simulation, and rendering. Single-core performance measures the responsiveness of the software under active workloads while the multi-core score measures the CPU’s ability to handle tasks such as rendering, encoding, and other workloads that benefit from better multi-threaded performance.

Cinebench R15 Score is based on cinema 4D and is the predecessor of Cinebench R20 benchmarks.

Cinebench R23 is the updated version of Cinebench R20 now with AVX instruction set support. Single-core performance measures responsiveness and the multi-core score measures the CPU’s ability to handle tasks such as rendering, encoding, and other workloads that benefit from better multi-threaded performance.
