AMD Ryzen 7 5700G vs. 3700X Performance?

I've been looking to upgrade my CPU and am trying to decide between the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and the 3700X. Has anyone here used either of these CPUs? Any advice on which one is better for gaming and general app performance?

I've personally used the Ryzen 7 3700X, and it's been great so far! It has an impressive max boost frequency and a decent amount of cache. For gaming, I didn't experience any bottlenecks with this CPU.

Yeah, I've had good experiences with both CPUs. The main difference is that the Ryzen 7 5700G has a slightly higher base frequency and single-core boost frequency. However, it also has a smaller L3 cache compared to the 3700X. Have you checked out this TechReviewer article for more details? AMD Ryzen 7 5700G vs. AMD Ryzen 7 3700X

Thanks for sharing! I have looked at that article, but I still need help deciding. It seems like the Ryzen 7 5700G might be better for tasks requiring higher base frequencies and cache capacities, but what about gaming and general app performance?

You're welcome! For gaming, both CPUs perform really well. The Ryzen 7 5700G's higher base frequency and single-core boost frequency might give it an edge in some situations, especially fast-paced games. However, the 3700X has better color accuracy and a larger screen size, which can be beneficial for certain games.

That makes sense. I'm leaning towards the Ryzen 7 5700G due to its higher base frequency, but I'm also concerned about the PCIe version. The TechReviewer article mentioned that the 3700X supports PCIe 4.0, which could offer better performance with high-speed SSDs and graphics cards.

That's true! The Ryzen 7 5700G only supports PCIe 3.0, which might be a drawback if you plan on using high-end components that require PCIe 4.0 for optimal performance.

So, it seems like the Ryzen 7 3700X is better suited for my needs after all! I'll probably go with that one. Thanks again for your help!

No problem! You're welcome to join our AMD CPU Owners Club if you decide to buy the 3700X. We'd be happy to have you!

Good choice! And yeah, count me in for the club as well. It's always nice to meet fellow enthusiasts.

Agreed! I'll see you both there!
