AMD Ryzen 7 5700G Linux Performance

For the initial Ryzen 7 5700G Linux benchmarking on the CPU side are results against the Core i5 11600K, Core i9 11900K, Ryzen 5 5600X, Ryzen 9 5900X, Ryzen 9 5950X, and the new Ryzen 7 5700G. All of these CPUs were freshly re-tested on Ubuntu 21.04 with Linux 5.11 and other system software updates. A larger comparison will come with the next round of 5700G Linux benchmarking (and possible 5600G testing). All systems were tested using DDR4-3600 memory, and Sabrent Rocket 4 500GB NVMe SSD.

The Ryzen 7 5700G with eight cores was coming on strong and performing in line with expectations under Linux.

In demanding workloads such as NAMD, however, the Core i5 11600K and other Ryzen 5000 series CPUs were leading in value with current pricing levels.

During the demanding NAMD benchmark, the Ryzen 7 5700G had a reported CPU package power draw of 76 Watts and a peak of 82 Watts, lower than the Core i5 11600K with a 78 Watt average but a peak of 150 Watts.

The Ryzen 5000 series APUs certainly work out much better than the days of APUs topping out at 4 cores.
