Average grade from independent test sites, magazines and video reviewers, 1–10.
How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves. Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Score: The average grade is 80% of the review mark; the number of reviews is the other 20% (1 review = 5, the typical number in this category = 8, the most-reviewed model = 10).

What owners say about the AMD Ryzen 7 4700G

Based on 44 owners sharing their experience in online comments

36%positive19%mixed45%negative

Owners like the affordable, capable processor, but weak gaming performance and restrictive hardware design are the biggest sources of frustration.

What owners dislike

  • Gaming performance is low or inconsistent11
  • Owners say the HP BIOS blocks 3200G and 3400G boards, caps RAM at about 2400MHz and offers no overclocking options.6
  • Owners say the HP case and BIOS restrict parts, so swapping the power supply or motherboard is hard to do without finding unusual components.4
  • Owners say the HP BIOS fixes GPU memory at 512MB and offers no way to raise it, which limits performance in some games and on Linux.3
  • Owners say RAM is capped around 2400MHz in the HP BIOS, and some faster kits, including 4400MHz G.Skill, do not work with this CPU.3

What customers like about AMD Ryzen 7 4700G

  • Excellent integrated graphics (Radeon Vega 8) capable of playable gaming at 1080p and even 1440p in some titles
  • High core count (8 cores/16 threads) providing strong multi-threaded performance for productivity and multitasking
  • Superior memory overclocking potential compared to standard Zen 2 CPUs due to its monolithic die design
  • Energy-efficient 65W TDP with impressive thermal management, often staying cool under heavy loads
  • Unlocked multiplier allows for straightforward CPU and GPU overclocking to boost performance further

What customers don't like about AMD Ryzen 7 4700G

  • Significantly smaller L3 cache (8MB) compared to non-G Ryzen 3000 series processors, which can limit gaming performance with a dedicated GPU
  • Limited availability for retail consumers as it was primarily released as an OEM-only part for pre-built systems
  • Uses older PCIe Gen 3.0 instead of the faster PCIe Gen 4.0 found in other contemporary Ryzen 3000/5000 chips
  • Relies heavily on high-speed dual-channel RAM to achieve its full integrated graphics potential
  • Confusing naming scheme often leads users to mistake it for the newer Zen 3 architecture when it actually uses Zen 2

Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 7 4700G is a high-performance 'Renoir' desktop APU built on the 7nm Zen 2 architecture, featuring 8 cores and 16 threads with a 3.6 GHz base clock and a 4.45 GHz boost. A standout characteristic is its integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics, which operates at an impressive 2100 MHz, providing one of the fastest built-in GPU experiences for 1080p gaming without a discrete card. Main pros include its exceptional multi-threaded performance for productivity, high memory overclocking potential (supporting DDR4-3200 natively), and a power-efficient 65W TDP that can be configured down to 45W. However, its primary cons are the relatively small 8MB L3 cache compared to non-G Ryzen processors, which can limit gaming performance with high-end dedicated GPUs, and its limited availability as it was primarily released for the OEM and pre-built system markets.
