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 5700G

Based on 208 owners sharing their experience in online comments

67%positive9%mixed24%negative

Owners mostly praise its versatile performance and value, while gaming limits and weak stock cooling cause the main frustrations.

What owners dislike

  • Owners report low frame rates in demanding games like Fortnite and Warzone when using integrated graphics, often 30 fps or less at low settings.20
  • Owners report frame drops and stutters during gameplay, sometimes falling below 5 fps for several seconds, especially with shared memory.14
  • Owners report freezes, crashes, and restarts, often during game play or when waking the PC from sleep, with some linked to memory choice.10
  • Owners say the stock Wraith Stealth cooler runs hot under load, so a tower cooler is recommended to avoid throttling.7
  • Owners report no display or boot failures, with some linked to older BIOS versions or boards lacking HDMI output.6
  • Owners report BIOS and board compatibility problems, with some boards not detecting the CPU until the BIOS is updated.6
  • Owners report display and driver problems, such as blurry text, freezes, and reduced support on newer DirectX 12 games.6
  • Owners say their results fall below review benchmarks, with lower fps than published tests despite similar settings.5
  • Owners say 16 GB of RAM can cause stutter in some games, and 32 GB or more is recommended for smoother play.5
  • Owners say memory tuning is finicky, with only some kits stable and the BIOS needing updates for dual-channel speed.5

Third-party reviews

What customers like about AMD Ryzen 7 5700G

  • Unbeatable integrated graphics performance for a desktop CPU, capable of 1080p entry-level and excellent 720p gaming
  • Excellent power efficiency with a 65W TDP that runs cool even under stress
  • Strong multi-core productivity performance thanks to 8 Zen 3 cores and 16 threads
  • Includes a capable Wraith Stealth stock cooler, adding to its overall value
  • Unlocked for overclocking, offering significant headroom for both CPU and iGPU tuning

What customers don't like about AMD Ryzen 7 5700G

  • Halved L3 cache (16MB vs 32MB) compared to non-G models like the 5800X, which can bottle neck performance with discrete GPUs
  • Lacks PCIe 4.0 support, being restricted to the older PCIe 3.0 standard
  • Heavily dependent on high-speed, dual-channel RAM for optimal integrated graphics performance
  • Uses the aging Vega architecture rather than the newer RDNA architecture for its integrated graphics
  • Poorer value for pure gamers compared to the Ryzen 5 5600G or a budget CPU paired with a used discrete GPU

Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is an 8-core, 16-thread desktop APU based on the 7nm Zen 3 architecture, featuring a 3.8 GHz base clock and a 4.6 GHz max boost. It is uniquely equipped with integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics (8 GPU cores at 2000 MHz), making it a powerful choice for systems without a dedicated graphics card. Key advantages include its efficient 65W TDP, compatibility with the AM4 socket, and the inclusion of a Wraith Stealth cooler. However, it compromises on performance compared to its 5800X sibling due to having only 16MB of L3 cache (half of the 5800X) and lacking PCIe 4.0 support, being limited to PCIe 3.0 instead.
