News and articles for the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and the AMD Ryzen 5 3600
Comparison of the two processors
The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is a fourth-generation Ryzen 5 processor from AMD's processor range. The processor is manufactured using the 7-nanometer process and the TDP is 65 watts. The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 is a generation older, but is also manufactured using the 7-nanometer process and the TDP is also 65 watts.Both processors are 6-core models that support Hyperthreading technology, giving you 12 threads at your disposal. The base clock frequency of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is 3.90 gigahertz, slightly higher than that of the AMD Ryzen 5 3600, where it is 3.60 gigahertz. The maximum turbo clock of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G at 4.40 gigahertz is also slightly higher than that of the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (4.20 gigahertz).
According to our benchmarks, the performance of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is about 20 times higher than that of the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 in both single-core and multi-core workloads.
From the name of the processors you can already see that only the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G (with the G at the end) has an internal graphics unit. The AMD Radeon 7 Graphics (Renoir) is used here. This iGPU, manufactured using the 7-nanometer process, clocks at up to 1.90 gigahertz and has 7 execution units and 448 shaders. All common video codecs are decoded and encoded by the graphics unit in hardware, with the exception of images of the VC-1 codec, which is "only" decoded, and the AV1 codec, which is not yet supported here at all.
Both processors support the operation of DDR4-3200 RAM with the 2 available memory channels. A maximum of 64 gigabytes can be operated with the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G, whereas the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 even supports up to 128 gigabytes.
The processors are based on the AM4 socket and support both AES-NI encryption and the AMD virtualization technologies AMD-V and SVM.
