Review on Ryzen 7 5700G: Unlocked 8-Core, ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ 16-Thread Desktop Processor with Radeon Graphics by AMD by Carlos Whitfield

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Ideal APU for non-GPU buyers

Although this AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is the best when it comes to 8 cores/16 threads and integrated graphics. A handful of things make this an absolute DON'T BUY for me.1. Price! This item should retail for only $359. I now see that the price is $1,049,992 at the time of writing this article. Although this box only has a TDP of 65W, it only works in conjunction with the Wraith Stealth cooler. It could also be a hit. If AMD put in a cooler then why not Wraith MAX or Wraith Prism, even Spire would be better. I wouldn't use stealth for anything other than Ryzen 3 with no overclocking. Why turn on the cooler at all?3. These new Ryzen 3,5,7 APUs don't have PCI-E Gen 4 support, we're limited to Gen 3.4. Selling goods above the original price should be illegal. I can maybe understand the $10-$20 surcharge for taxes and shipping, but those prices are just ridiculous and wrong. Please be careful. If we all refuse to pay these fancy prices, prices must come down.

Pros
  • For advanced socket AM4 platform
Cons
  • Vulgarity
