Comparison of the two processors

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X is a processor from the third quarter of 2019, which is manufactured using the 7-nanometer process. The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G, on the other hand, was only launched in the second quarter of 2021 and is therefore almost 2 years newer.

Both processors come from the AMD Ryzen 7 family, but from different generations, which means they also differ in architecture. The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X is from the third generation and is based on the Matisse architecture (Zen 2), while the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is from the newer, fourth generation and is based on the Cezanne architecture (Zen 3).

Both processors have 8 physical cores and support Hyperthreading, which means that 16 logical cores, also known as threads, are available to you if required. Like most desktop processors from AMD, these two models also have a free multiplier and can therefore be overclocked.

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X clocks at up to 4.40 gigahertz and the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G at up to 4.60 gigahertz, slightly higher. According to our benchmarks, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G based on the newer architecture is around 10-20 percent (depending on the benchmark) faster than the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X.

As you can already see from the name, the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X has no internal graphics unit (X at the end of the processor name stands for "No internal graphics unit). In the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G, however, the AMD Radeon 8 Graphics (Renoir) are used. This iGPU clocks at 2.00 gigahertz and has 8 execution units, as well as 512 shader units.The graphics unit, manufactured using the 7-nanometer process, achieves an FP32 computing power of 2048 GigaFLOPS.

Both processors support the use of DDR4-3200 RAM with their 2 memory channels each. With the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G, up to 64 gigabytes of RAM can be operated and with the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X even 128 gigabytes. In addition, the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X also supports the use of ECC memory modules.
