Does your CPU cough a bit when opening Photoshop? Surely it is time to change it and good news, Amazon lowers the price of the Ryzen 5700G and 5800X3D to 219.90 and 350.11 euros respectively.
In the world of all-round processors with a controlled performance-price ratio, AMD has clearly been on a tangent against its rival Intel for a few years now. The change of generation also tends to radically lower the prices of the previous one and it is clearly the moment to take advantage of it during the sales, especially on Amazon. The Ryzen 7 5700G and the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, two CPUs aimed at different audiences, are on sale with significant price discounts.
Ryzen 7 5700G highlights
- office performance
- Gaming performance (with a graphics card)
- controlled electrical consumption
- compatible with AM4 motherboards
Ryzen 7 5800X3D highlights
- Gaming performance better than 5800X thanks to 3D V-cache
- Performance in creative and productivity applications
- The price-performance ratio
- Best AM4 Gaming CPU
The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G processor is usually at 355 euros and the 5800X is close to 400 euros. They are found during sales at 219.90 and 350.11 euros respectively on Amazon.
Ryzen 7 5700G: a very comfortable CPU in office automation
The 7 5700G is one of the latest 4th generation Ryzen CPUs. It is distinguished above all by the integration of a Vega 8 graphics processor that allows very practical use in a small but very solid office machine. Be warned though, if you plan to game entirely on this single CPU, performance may be a bit limited for playing slightly more advanced triple-A titles. It must be said that with its 8 cores with SMT and therefore 16 threads on the counter, it has enough to offer an ultra-fluid experience, even with a maximum of programs at the same time. Its base frequency is 3.8 GHz and it is possible to reach 4.6 GHz with Boost mode. Also, its power consumption, unlike the more advanced Ryzen, is largely controlled with a thermal envelope of just 65W. Pairing it with a real GPU doesn’t make for a great CPU in a well-priced gaming machine.
Ryzen 7 5800X3D: 3D V-cache adds a layer
If the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X has clearly been one of the brand’s best sellers for the last 2 years, it is undoubtedly because it is one of the CPUs with the best performance-price ratio of its generation. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D arrives to step on the accelerator again, especially for video games, thanks to the integration of a 3D vertical cache technology made by AMD. With an equivalent configuration, this will have the effect of adding often significant performance for the most resource-hungry games, notably thanks to its 96MB L3 cache (32MB for Ryzen). 7 5800X classic).
As for the rest of the figures, we are still entitled to 8 cores and 16 threads, and a base frequency of 3.4 GHz and up to 4.5 GHz in Max Boost mode. Suffice it to say, you’ll have no problem with heavy-duty tasks like coding, editing, or the most advanced creative applications in 2D or 3D.
On the other hand, with a TDP of 105 W efficient cooling will be necessary, the basic cooler may be a bit tight.
