Ryzen 7 5700 from AMD debuts without Radeon Vega integrated graphics

The Ryzen 7000 (Raphael) processors from AMD might be coming soon. The Ryzen 5000G (Cezanne) series isn't yet ready to be retired, according to the chipmaker. An unannounced chip in the form of the Ryzen 7 5700 has been spotted in the wild.

The Ryzen 7 5700 appears to be an upgraded version of the Ryzen 7 5700X or Ryzen 7 5700G at first glance. The undisclosed chip was identified by Geekbench 5(opens in new tab) submission (through Benchleaks(opens in new tab)) as a member of AMD's Cezanne family, making it theoritically an APU from AMD's Ryzen 5000G family. The Ryzen 7 5700 and Ryzen 7 5700G share the same design. The processor contains 16MB of L3 cache and eight Zen 3 cores with simultaneous multithreading (SMT). But the clock rates are different.

The Ryzen 7 5700 appears to have a base speed that is 100 MHz slower than the Ryzen 7 5700G, which has a 3.8 GHz base clock. The Ryzen 7 5700 averaged 4,617 MHz on the Geekbench 5 run, which is consistent with the Ryzen 7 5700G's stated 4.6 GHz boost clock. The lack of integrated graphics on the Ryzen 7 5700 is the main distinction between it and the Ryzen 7 5700G.

If you're familiar with AMD's lingo, items with integrated graphics are designated by the "G" suffix. As a result, the Radeon Vega graphics engine is not available to the Ryzen 7 5700. It explains why the GeForce RTX 3060 (Ampere) graphics card from Nvidia was tapped by the octa-core processor during the Geekbench 5 benchmark.

AMD Ryzen 7 5700 Specifications

CPU	Cores / Threads	Base / Boost Clock (GHz)	Graphics Cores	Graphics Frequency (MHz)	TDP (W)	L3 Cache (MB)
Ryzen 7 5700X	8 / 16	3.4 / 4.6	N/A	N/A	65	32
Ryzen 7 5700G	8 / 16	3.4 / 4.6	RX Vega 8	2000	65	16
Ryzen 7 5700	8 / 16	3.7 / 4.6	N/A	N/A	65	16

In the single-core test, the Ryzen 7 5700 received 1,546 points, and in the multi-core test, it received 8,502 points. The Ryzen 7 5700G scored 1,547 points and 9,032 points in the identical tests, according to our results. The two processors' single-core performance was comparable. The Ryzen 7 5700G, however, provided multi-core performance that was up to 6% better.

According to appearances, the Ryzen 7 5700 is the Ryzen 7 5700G with an iGPU removed and a slightly lower base frequency. The Ryzen 7 5700G, which has a little advantage in multi-threaded applications, performs almost identically in terms of performance. It is conceivable that the Ryzen 7 5700 is a descendant of the Ryzen 7 5700G and uses flawed silicon that is ineligible for the latter. It's a brilliant approach to make the most of every piece of AMD's 7 nm silicon that TSMC manufactures.

It's unclear whether AMD will sell the Ryzen 7 5700 retail or if it will be an OEM processor. The Ryzen 7 5700G presently costs but originally cost $359/RM1582.11.

Since the Ryzen 7 5700 is technically no longer an APU and has lost some of what makes them desirable, it will be fascinating to watch how AMD sets the price for this processor. Making matters more difficult, the Ryzen 7 5700X has a suggested retail price of, making it a suitable choice for those who want an eight-core, 16-thread Zen 3 65W CPU but don't want integrated graphics. Unfortunately, unless AMD sells the Ryzen 7 5700 for an absurdly low price, it will be difficult for it to find a home in the DIY market. for .
