AMD Ryzen 7 4700G vs AMD Ryzen 7 5800: Comparison
Ryzen 7 4700G vs Ryzen 7 5800: the l3 cache difference
The gap that matters here is l3 cache: Ryzen 7 4700G 8 MB against Ryzen 7 5800 32 MB, which puts Ryzen 7 5800 75% ahead. There is a split on p-core boost clock as well, 4.4 GHz on the Ryzen 7 4700G versus 4.6 GHz on the Ryzen 7 5800. P-core base clock is not the same on both, 3.6 GHz on the Ryzen 7 4700G versus 3.4 GHz on the Ryzen 7 5800. They differ on integrated graphics too, Yes on the Ryzen 7 4700G versus No on the Ryzen 7 5800. There is a split on release year as well, 2020 on the Ryzen 7 4700G versus 2021 on the Ryzen 7 5800. Igpu is not the same on both, Radeon Graphics on the Ryzen 7 4700G versus None on the Ryzen 7 5800. They differ on memory type too, DDR4 on the Ryzen 7 4700G versus DDR4, Up to 3200 MT/s on the Ryzen 7 5800. There is a split on pcie generation as well, PCIe 3.0 on the Ryzen 7 4700G versus PCIe 4.0 on the Ryzen 7 5800. There is a split on retail availability as well, Tray OEM on the Ryzen 7 4700G versus OEM Only on the Ryzen 7 5800.
Which should you buy, Ryzen 7 4700G or Ryzen 7 5800?
The Ryzen 7 4700G is the one to take for mainstream desktop builds and everyday productivity, though it is not the pick for extreme overclocking (unless K/X-series) and workstation-class multi-threaded workloads. The Ryzen 7 5800 suits mainstream desktop builds and everyday productivity, though it is the wrong buy for extreme overclocking (unless K/X-series) and workstation-class multi-threaded workloads.
Where the two are identical
Everything else lines up. Total cores, performance cores, efficiency cores, total threads and tdp read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing. They match on 12 further specifications as well.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Socket the same on the Ryzen 7 4700G and Ryzen 7 5800?
It is. Both are listed at AM4, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.
