AMD announces Ryzen 5000G series APU: Officially on sale on August 5
AMD released the Ryzen 5000G series APU in mid-April, which is actually the desktop version of the 5000 series mobile processor. It uses the Cezanne core, which is composed of Zen 3 CPU core and Vega architecture core. It is produced by TSMC 7nm process. At that time, the detailed performance and retail information of the processor were not announced. And at today’s Taipei Computer Show conference, AMD announced this information.
However, only Ryzen 7 5700G and Ryzen 5 5600G are announced this time. There is no news about Ryzen 3 5300G. Ryzen 7 5700G has 8 cores and 16 threads, the base frequency is 3.8GHz, and the highest acceleration frequency is 4.6GHz. With 16MB L3 cache, the core has 8 sets of CUs, the frequency reaches 2GHz, TDP 65W, and the price is $359.

The Ryzen 5000G series APUs all support DDR4-3200 in terms of memory support, which is consistent with the current desktop version of the Ryzen 5000 series. The number of PCI-E channels is the same as the desktop version, 24 (20 available), but the Ryzen 5000G series APU only supports PCI-E 3.0, which is different from the Ryzen 5000 series CPU that supports PCI-E 4.0.
