AMD Lists Six "New" Ryzen 5000G SKUs, Zen 3's Lifespan Extended Again
AMD has quietly updated its web presences with six new processor SKUs—as spotted by Everest (aka Olrak29), and a member of Team Red's subreddit. Community detective work indicates official CPU support lists being updated at some point after February 11. Model names and product identifiers were highlighted; AMD is likely introducing additional Zen 3 "Cezanne" options for OEM partners. The Ryzen 5000G lineup of Zen 3 and Vega iGPU-powered APUs was already well populated, going back to 2021. The "newly" listed AM4 models are: Ryzen 7 5705GE, Ryzen 7 5705G, Ryzen 5 5605GE, Ryzen 5 5605G, Ryzen 3 5305GE and Ryzen 3 5305G.
The familiar "G" tag indicates the presence of an integrated graphics solution; a Cezanne GPU that utilizes GCN 5.1 architecture. A "GE" designation denotes lower power variants; with 35 W TDPs. A small selection of Zen 3-based Ryzen PRO models are available in GE form, including the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650GE SKU. Three of the recently discovered models seem to share identical specifications with Team Red's well established roster of Ryzen 7 5700G, Ryzen 5 5600G, and Ryzen 3 5300G options. Currently, dedicated product pages are not populated with information; instead you are greeted with a "404: Page Not Found" warning. AMD is well known for keeping its older technologies alive for long periods; its RDNA 3+ graphics architecture is expected to last until 2027 (or beyond).

It would make sense to the final consumer, if it was offering something really new. For example, RDNA2/3 graphics instead of Vega.
Well, anyway, 6-16 Zen 3 cores can run any office or other application today and probably the next 10 years and the integrated graphics most games that don't need 3D performance. Chinese will flood the market.
I'm sure the AM4 socket is extremely saturated at this point
As much as I loved AM4, I don't think I will buy anymore unless they release a dual CCD X3D part. But even then.. I already moved to AM5.
My kids are using AM4, but they don't need any of these parts.
If they put out a 6Ghz 6 core I would get it :D
The real difference is these new SKUs don't include the box cooler.
I can only imagine with this info what AM5 7000 series bins haven't been released yet.
Long live AM4 I guess!
when I was starting to shop for an am4 build, tons would push for am5 build. bang for buck makes no sense to buy am5. youre paying more for the performance, but then add ram prices which are are double ddr4, mb are at a premium. the jump is then small at a large price premium. the amount of money you need to put down for am5 vs am4 makes no sense.
in dec I just bought a 5950x for editing. the cpu did editing fine back then, why wouldnt it now. that cpu cost $800 at launch!! and I got that for $300. thats my mindset. not pay for a beta product, not pay a premium "new" price. hell, people paying $1400 for a phone year after year and here I am accumalating stock of lg v20 to have for another 10 years at $70 each. swappable batteries, IR remote, DAC and omg, an audio jack.
I dont fall for hype stupidity, or influencers and I dont conform. my biggest issue is the world is consuming way way too much. mother nature has been very patient.
I am biased, but yeah, Instant buy :love:
