Title: The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and Ryzen 7 5700G desktop APUs are finally available to purchase, albeit for Ryzen 5 5600X and Ryzen 7 5800X prices

AMD has released the Ryzen 5 5600G and Ryzen 7 5700G for public consumption, months after the company launched the Ryzen 5 5600X and Ryzen 7 5800X. Despite being based on Cezanne cores, AMD has priced the Ryzen 5 5600G and Ryzen 7 5700G almost on par with their Vermeer-based siblings.

Not in the same price range here in Canada yet! $846 for the 5700G. I guess I'll have to wait for next year's income tax return!

Not very well probably, IIRC even the original RDNA had supposedly a 50% increase in performance over GCN and there's also the matter that the Steam Deck uses 5500 MT/s quad channel LPDDR5 RAM, we won't see comparable RAM in desktops until AM5 and DDR5. Still it won't stop GPU-starved folks from grabbing these, even as a simple stopgap.

Good price! I paid U$480 for a 4750G last year. Gonna hold on to it since 5700G does not offer a big enough reason for upgrading.

Read the specs. According to the AMD published specs, this APU only supports PCIe gen3. So, that hot, expensive Gen 4 M.2 NVMe SSD you want to use on your new motherboard will not achieve the speed you paid dearly for.
