When building a system, and especially one designed for multiplayer gaming, having the option to save on a GPU and instead put that money into a faster monitor could mean the difference between Gold and Diamond ranks next season (or between 60Hz and 240Hz, depending on the monitor model). At 1080p, the Ryzen 5 5600G was just about able to hit the 165Hz/165fps threshold in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, a mark that could easily be exceeded with just one or two more in-game settings turned down.
I also had similar issues with Intel AX wireless at that time (Around x570 Master, motherboard). And that doesn't even cover trying to get RGB in Linux working. It also means when CPU bound the 5600G was on average 14% slower than the 5600X, which is a reasonably large margin. Of course it's well worth noting that for the majority of gamers, and hardware configurations, the performance difference between these two CPUs is going to be very small as you'll almost always end up GPU limited. Decompression performance is more impressive when compared to the Intel competition and this is due to AMD's SMT implementation working better, and as a result the 5600G was just 8% slower than Intel's previous generation 8-core Core i7-10700. Still, when compared to the 5600X, it was 10% slower which is disappointing. Even when testing with After Effects we find that the 5600G is ~9% slower than the 5600X and because this is a more lightly threaded application, the 5600G is comparable to the 5700G.The last application benchmark we have is Blender, where the 5600G finds itself situated between the Core i5-11600K and 11400F, making it just 6% slower than the 5600X.

An important benchmarking-results and performance note: This is a different testbed than we used with other Ryzens we've reviewed to date, as AMD points out that the Ryzen 5 5600G and the Ryzen 7 5700G are compatible with only these four motherboards at the time of launch: When compared to the 3400G, the 5600G was 26% faster out of the box and a massive 127% faster than the Intel Core i7-11700. So for an iGPU solution it's very impressive, but when compared to three generation old budget graphics cards like the GTX 1060 3GB, it looks a bit pathetic offering half the performance. PLUS the 7 on-chip Vega Graphics cores make this CPU the foremost technology for mid-range gaming and beyond.If you're a faithful player of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Rainbow Six: Siege, or Valorant, the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G makes it possible to build your next "good enough" gaming rig for much less than what it would cost with any other processor that's come before it. That's especially true if you would otherwise have had to buy a new graphics card, in the midst of the gruesome price inflation that GPU hardware has seen from 2020 to present. The 5600G was also much slower than the 5600X in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, this time trailing by an 18% margin, rendering 130 fps on average which was comparable to that of the 5700G, 3700X and 10th gen Core i5 processors.
Then we want to see how well it works with the Vega iGPU, and for this we'll be comparing it against the Ryzen 5 3400G, Ryzen 7 5700G and Core i7-11700, all using integrated graphics. Interestingly, the single thread performance is down on the 5600X by a 7% margin which isn't massive, but it's more significant than what we saw in the multi-thread test and is comparable to the 5700G vs 5800X margin. It's the same with Adobe Photoshop which is another lightly threaded application that typically only leans on 1 or 2 cores heavily. Therefore we're looking at comparable performance between not just the 5600G and 5700G, but also the new Core i5-11400F. You can easily upgrade memory capacity and storage in these HP Pavilion pre-builts, but that’s about it. For the addition of discrete GPU, it’ll take more work and money.In Hitman 2 the 5600G is much slower than the 5600X once again, trailing by 19% with an average of 122 fps opposed to 150 fps for the 5600X. The 5600G is similar to the 3700X when it comes to high-end gaming performance, and while that's not a terrible result, it's not exactly what we've come to expect from the Zen 3 architecture. The previous-gen Ryzen 7 4750G is roughly 1% faster than the Ryzen 5 5600G at 1080p, marking one of the few times we'll see the more handsomely-equipped (at least in terms of CPU and GPU cores) previous-gen model take the lead over the 5600G, highlighting that the 5600G takes a big leap forward. We have carefully selected workstation computers specifically for specialist programs & Industries, so you can boost your computer’s processing and graphic performance to create, render and load without any limits. We understand how extensive performance-affecting workloads such as CAD, video rendering and virtual simulations can massively increase the performance demand on your desktop computer’s processor and graphics card. Our workstation computer configurators are tailored to help you customise your desktop PC to whatever your work requires. See our wide range of workstation computers built for intensive workloads. Finally, we have the 10 game average data and as expected given what we just saw, the 5600G is only comparable with the 3700X when it comes to high-end gaming using a powerful discrete graphics card. Of course that's not bad, but it does mean cheaper parts like the 10400F will deliver comparable or often better performance. Each Desktop PC has been hand-built by our expert technicians and undergo a vigorous testing procedure to ensure that every competitive system has unrivalled performances in the latest games, straight out of the box.
