AMD Expands AM4 CPU Line-up By Introducing Several Ryzen 5005G APUs Based On Zen 3 Architecture​

AMD has expanded its Zen 3 "AM4" APU line-up with six more SKUs, featuring up to 8 cores and 16 threads in the Ryzen 5005G series.

AMD is not yet done with the AM4. As soon as we think it's over, AMD comes up with more and more processors for this 8-year-old platform. Looks like AMD still has plenty of leftover silicon to produce more Zen 3 chips and this time it is debuting the 'Ryzen 5005G' series, which comprises APUs.
AMD has silently added several Ryzen 5005G SKUs to its Ryzen 5000 series table and now the total CPU count in this particular series is 25. Out of 25 CPUs, six are from the Ryzen 5005G series. AMD made sure that each subseries receives two SKUs, targeting different budget segments.

As you can see, AMD has released G and GE variants for both mainstream and power-efficient setups. The GE variants are rated at just 35W while the G variants feature the default TDP of 65W, which is found on most budget and mid-range Ryzen 5000 CPUs. Therefore, even though specs like Cores/Threads, iGPU, etc. are identical, the base clock is lower on the GE variants.

AMD Ryzen 7 5705G is technically Ryzen 7 5700G but the only difference we can see from AMD's table is that it doesn't reveal if the 5705G will come with a stock heatsink. All the specs are identical and this is exactly how AMD went with other Ryzen 5005G parts, including the Ryzen 5605G, which is nothing but Ryzen 5600G in core specs, and the Ryzen 3 5305G resembles the Ryzen 3 5300G completely.

The date of availability and pricing hasn't been disclosed yet, but since the Ryzen 8000G series is already available on the market, the Ryzen 5005G should be comparatively cheaper. AMD's Ryzen 5005G will serve as entry-level APUs for systems that don't require high graphical computing power and will be sufficient for basic operations.

Apart from casual work, the Ryzen 5005G can also play non-intensive games, but one shouldn't expect a smooth gaming experience since Vega iGPU can't compete with modern budget or mid-range GPUs. Considering AM4 motherboards are still abundantly available in the market, including the A520 and B450/B550 chipsets, the Ryzen 5005G series is excellent for cost-effective systems and can be used in PCs to keep the cost under $500.

While I appreciate longevity, this is just BS at this point. Random-ass re-releases of different chips under confusing numbers with minor differences in clocks. The only real entry is the Ryzen 3 series under the 5000 banner, 5 years later.

5950X3D would've been better for longevity.

Yep, now they are just milking the franchise a la Marvel ..

In 2012 when I bought my Gaming PC I put 75k as my total budget including monitor but nowadays even 1.2 lacs does not seem to be enough for a full Gaming PC on AM5 platform. Only with AM4 platform many are still able to satisfy their desire to buy a full Gaming PC in India this I noticed while browsing Indian Gaming Sub-reddit posts. Even here many are suggesting buyers to go with AM5 platform to just increase their budget a little. As long as AMD puts AM4 platform for availability without creating artificial scarcity to make more & quick money for their newer products which presently Nvidia is doing that, this is always a boon for buyers whose budgets are under 50k to 60k including monitors. I used to give a lot of suggestions in Digit & TE & Erodov forums specially in Desktop Buying section but now I stopped because after seeing the inflated prices in India.

I recently noticed in newegg & bestbuy of US just a week back that 9600X & 9700X were cheaper in prices than 7600 & 7600X even though they were newer parts but here in India it is in reverse. Why? Because of import taxes & excess greed of the dealers & distributors. This applies to B650 & B850 motherboards as well as both are priced similarly in US stores but in India its very difficult to suggest newer motherboards to new buyers because of inflated prices & nobody here cares about any regulation of prices.

AM4 is a 8 years old platform but AMD still is extending its life by releasing new processors which will make availability of all AM4 processors more. Not all can buy Full Gaming PCs with budgets starting from 1 lac & upwards. This is why I like AMD & to some extent Intel because of its LGA 1700 processors pricing & availability even though they released newer processors which might have failed to garner consumers.

This isn't extending the lifespan of the platform with "new" processors. It's useless padding out with re-releases of existing chips with minor clock differences, and maybe a small decrease in price.

There are 25 processors now under the 5000 series, out of which almost 15 (or more) are just re-releases of some existing chip with a minor clock difference.

Yes, except processors ending with GEs, Gs & Ts all other chips were sold & suggested as Gaming PC parts. These APUs were simply useless as Desktop processors but were good as Laptop processors.
