For my initial benchmarking of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G over the past week, I ran 131 different CPU/system benchmarks so far on this Zen 3 APU. If taking the geometric mean of all the wide range of results, the Ryzen 5 5600G was about 6% faster than the Core i5 11600K overall. That's for the system/CPU benchmarks. If looking at just the graphics performance, the Ryzen 5000 series APUs have a very wide margin:

As mentioned, a Steam Linux gaming 5600G/5700G gaming comparison will be published next week on Phoronix.

Lastly for this initial Ryzen 5 5600G Linux benchmarking is the CPU package power consumption across the span of 131 benchmarks conducted. With the mix of single and multi-threaded workloads, the average CPU power consumption of the 5600G was 41 Watts with a peak of 81 Watts. That's much better than the Core i5 11600K in the same tests with an average of 62 Watts and a peak of 198 Watts.

Those wishing to see more of the Ryzen 5 5600G benchmarking I've done so far can find many more of my data points via the Ryzen 5 5600G on OpenBenchmarking.org where you can also generate your own dynamic comparison against other processors with enough matching composite metrics, etc, such as the 5600G vs. 5700G vs. i5-11600K and other CPU comparisons as well as generating performance-per-dollar metrics against your local/available pricing. There is also the lscpu and cpuinfo details, among other information for those interested.
