Fragz' verdict
The Ryzen 7 5800X decisively wins this comparison with a 38.8% lead in CPU score over the Ryzen 5 5600G, though the Ryzen 5's data is based on a thin sample of only two verified runs. This performance advantage stems from the Ryzen 7's 8 cores and 16 threads, double the L3 cache at 32 MB, and a higher peak clock of 5044 MHz, compared to the Ryzen 5's 6 cores, 12 threads, 16 MB L3 cache, and 4478 MHz peak clock. For gamers, the Ryzen 7 5800X delivers significantly better multi-threaded performance at 7.8 Gop/s for background tasks and a higher single-thread performance of 0.62 Gop/s, which is key for maximizing in-game frame rates. While the Ryzen 5 5600G did achieve a marginally higher Supernova DX11 FPS of 67.8 and slightly more draw calls per second, the Ryzen 7 5800X is the superior performer for demanding workloads and higher frame rates.

What the numbers mean
The CPU score is the processor's own performance — that is what we rank on. GAMING is the whole rig's score in the best PC we measured the processor in, and leans heavily on the graphics card. A strong processor in a weak PC gets a low GAMING score without being worse. We show both and never mix them.
All numbers come from our benchmark suite: four hand-built 3D scenes written directly against the graphics APIs in Rust, the same load on every PC. The methodology is open at https://whatfps.com/metodik
