The 8500G beats the 5700G and the 5600G in every comparison with Watts per some performance metric. https://phoronix.com/benchmark/result/amd-ryzen-5-8500g-linu... https://phoronix.com/benchmark/result/amd-ryzen-5-8500g-linu... https://phoronix.com/benchmark/result/amd-ryzen-5-8500g-linu... https://phoronix.com/benchmark/result/amd-ryzen-5-8500g-linu... https://phoronix.com/benchmark/result/amd-ryzen-5-8500g-linu... https://phoronix.com/benchmark/result/amd-ryzen-5-8500g-linu... https://phoronix.com/benchmark/result/amd-ryzen-5-8500g-linu... https://phoronix.com/benchmark/result/amd-ryzen-5-8500g-linu... https://phoronix.com/benchmark/result/amd-ryzen-5-8500g-linu... https://phoronix.com/benchmark/result/amd-ryzen-5-8500g-linu... https://phoronix.com/benchmark/result/amd-ryzen-5-8500g-linu... https://phoronix.com/benchmark/result/amd-ryzen-5-8500g-linu... <- An Intel I5(and only the I5) beats AMD on this singular benchmark. https://phoronix.com/benchmark/result/amd-ryzen-5-8500g-linu... https://phoronix.com/benchmark/result/amd-ryzen-5-8500g-linu... https://phoronix.com/benchmark/result/amd-ryzen-5-8500g-linu... Yes, the 5700g and 5600g can score lower amount of peak power, but you need to compare the power used against a metric like time to calculate efficiency. The $179 8500G is competing with the $449 Ryzen 7 7800X3D in efficiency. It's a blood bath. |
