Gaming Performance
In order to test gaming performance, we decided to test 1080p, 1440p, and 4K resolutions. For testing, we are using an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Founders Edition video card.
Cyberpunk 2077
In Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p the two CPUs are close to performance with each other, only a variable of half a percent difference, which is within the margin of error for a manual run-through that we perform in this game. The result is the same performance at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K between both CPUs for this game.
Battlefield 2042
In Battlefield 2042 at 1080p, there is a larger variance, about a 4% difference between the 5700G and 5600G where the 5600G is slightly faster. It is a minor difference, and we do perform a manual run-through in this game. At 1440p and 4K, the performance is the same between the CPUs.
Forza Horizon 5
In Forza Horizon 5 we use the built-in benchmark, and it does show that there is a 3% performance advantage toward the 5700G at 1080p. Even a slight difference at 1440p, but not huge, and 4K is within 1 FPS of each other.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020
In MS Flight Sim at 1080p, there is also a slight 4% difference between the CPUs at 1080p, but this resolution is bottlenecked on both CPUs because we actually gain FPS at 1440p on both. At 1440p they are within 3% of each other. At 4K we are GPU bound.

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.
