Question 1

Does this come with heatsink and fan?

Accepted Answer

Sure does, it's a great processor for OpenGL work and am using it for a synthetic vision system on an experimental aircraft.

Question 2

Does this come with heatsink and fan?

Accepted Answer

Yes it does. It comes with a Wraith Stealth. If you do not overclock it it will be good enough. If you plan to OC then get an aftermarket one.

Question 3

will this processor work on laptop?

Accepted Answer

No.  The processor requires more cooling than can be provided in a laptop.

Question 4

Can this CPU handle newer and older games?

Accepted Answer

That is entirely relative to the game you want to play. This CPU should be able to play MOST games, however it may experience some slowness with newer games that have both high quality graphics and realistic physics. If you want to play something that has both of those things, you may want to consider getting a separate graphics card anyway as integrated graphics will *always* have slightly lower quality compared to a unit specialized for that.

Question 5

I understand that the 5700g supports PCIE 3.0. This means that on a B550 motherboard the NVME SSD in the CPU M.2 slot will run at that speed. But will an NVME SSD plugged into the M.2 slot connected to the PCIE 4.0 on the chipset be able to run at 4.0 speed?

Accepted Answer

Even if the chipset NVMe might support PCIe 4.0, the chipset that it is connected to is only linked to the CPU via a PCIe 3.0x4 link, so it will not be able to take advantage of the added speed between the chipset and the drive. In addition, there's many things running on the chipset that you would be sharing bandwidth with, so you would probably end up running slower and bottleneck other devices if you put an NVMe 4.0 drive on the chipset slot.

Question 6

Will this work with the B550 motherboards and drive the graphics ports properly ?

Accepted Answer

Yes. But the motherboard will almost certainly need a BIOS update. If your motherboard does not have a "BIOS Flashback" button or dedicated USB port for flashback, you may need a 3000 series CPU to do the BIOS update before the 5700G will work. Also, some B550 motherboards DO NOT support AMD "G" CPUs. Check your motherboard manufacturer's website or YouTube for details.

Question 7

Is the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G CPU a good value for money?

Accepted Answer

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is considered a solid choice for users looking for integrated graphics and efficient performance, particularly during the ongoing GPU shortage. It offers high performance for CPU tasks and efficient power consumption.

Question 8

How is the gaming performance of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G CPU?

Accepted Answer

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G provides good gaming performance with its integrated graphics, allowing smooth gameplay at 1080p resolution for many top games.

Question 9

Does MS Flight Simulator 4 run OK using a 1920 x 1080 display?

Accepted Answer

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G processor gets you on the battlefield fast with the world's fastest graphics in a desktop processor. Play top games in smooth 1080p with 8 cores, 16 threads, boost clocks of up to 4.6GHz, 20MB of total cache, and 8 Graphics Compute Units at up to 2.0GHz.

Question 10

I'm running a Ryzen 3 3200G.  Is this a significant upgrade?  (just running WoW and would like a little better graphics)

Accepted Answer

This is a huge upgrade, as the 3200G is a very weak CPU, and the 5700G has a lot of 'get up and go'.  I recommend you go ahead with this.  I have both processors, and there is a very large difference between them.
