Synthetic Benchmarks Continued
SiSoftware Sandra

In SiSoftware Sandra 2021’s Dhrystone integer multi-threaded testing, which is heavily affected by multi-cores, the Ryzen 7 5700G is 42% faster in integer performance. The extra core/threads are helping a lot here and shows the potential it can make in heavily multi-threaded arithmetic workloads. The 5600G is 30% slower than the 5700G.

In SiSoftware Sandra, it is showing a 47% single-threaded advantage toward the 5700G over the 5600G when doing pure integer arithmetic workloads.
Cinebench R23

When rendering in Cinebench R23 the Ryzen 7 5700G is 24% faster than the Ryzen 5 5600G, showing the difference the extra cores/threads make when rendering. The 5600G is 20% slower than the 5700G.

The difference is less pronounced doing single-core rendering where the 5700G is only 4% faster than the 5600G.
V-Ray 5 Benchmark

In V-Ray rendering, the Ryzen 7 5700G is 29% faster than the Ryzen 5 5600G.
HandBrake

In HandBrake the Ryzen 7 5700G is faster than the 5600G for video transcoding and encoding, thanks to the additional cores and threads. The Ryzen 7 5700G is 15% faster than the Ryzen 5 5600G and saves two minutes off the time to render, so if video encoding is something you do a lot of the 5700G will be the better option.

Join Discussion →How quickly things change. Even though I agree with the article conclusion, the soon to be released Ryzen 5 5600 would seem to be the best option for gaming while saving a few bucks.
If you consider that you are building a system, and want to save money by not buying a dedicated GPU, the G makes a lot of sense.
And that's why I said "Gaming"
Kinda surprised to see them tracking so close to each other.
Gaming wise, not much of a surprise, but even in applications they were much closer than I expected.
This is like deja vu of all the same 5600g v 5700g reviews from last year from other review sites I read and chose the 5600g in mine. Strange so many sites are reviewing these chips again.
