AMD has finally announced that the Ryzen 7 5700G and Ryzen 5 5600G ‘Cezanne’ APUs will be releasing for the DIY segment in August. The announcement comes a month after the launch of these APUs in the OEM segment.
The AMD Ryzen 5000G Cezanne Desktop APU family features the brand-new Zen 3 cores which are already used in Ryzen desktop, Ryzen mobility, EPYC server CPU platforms. The family consists of three processors which include the Ryzen 7 5700G, the Ryzen 5 5600G, and the Ryzen 3 5300G. Only the top two are making their way to the DIY segment for now.
The Ryzen 7 5700G is the flagship APU of the Cezanne lineup. It is an 8 core, 16 thread processor and has a base clock of 3.8 GHz which boosts to 4.6 GHz. The CPU has a total of 16 MB L3 and 4 MB L2 cache with the TDP being set at 65W. The APU features Vega integrated GPU with 8 CUs which translates to 512 stream processors running at clock speeds around 2.0 GHz.
The 35W Ryzen 7 5700GE will feature the same specs but reduced core clocks of 3.2 GHz base and 4.6 GHz boost. The Ryzen 7 5700G APU will retail at $359 USD.
On the other hand, the Ryzen 5 5600G is a 6 core, 12 thread processor and has a base clock of 3.9 GHz which boosts to 4.4 GHz. The CPU has a total of 16 MB L3 and 3 MB L2 cache with the TDP being set at 65W. The APU features Vega 7 integrated GPU with 7 CUs which translates to 448 stream processors running at clock speeds around 1.9 GHz. The Ryzen 5 5600G APU has a retail price of $259 USD.
