Thinking of building a new ryzen system AMD Ryzen 5600g or 5700g

[Member namida12]

Has anyone upgraded to AMD’s Ryzen 5600g/5700g? The pricing seems to be just about right for a new build, if the current antiX-21-runit_x64-full Grup Yorum 30 October 2021
is capable of handling the newer hardware…

Think there might be some good sales as we approach black friday.

I have a friend who just got an HP ProBook 445 with the AMD Ryzen 5 5600U.

Not positive he put Debian on it but he usually does; otherwise it’s openSUSE for the latest KDE Plasma version and the Linux 6 kernel.

The system I’m using right now is the one I mention frequently on my personal thread, “What Are You Here With…”, an HP-14 with an AMD Ryzen 5 5500U.
The unit itself is solid; it’s not light, considering its size, nor does it have a backlit keyboard, which I typically prefer, but the price point and the performance for what I got is right there. I can use a heavy desktop (though I definitely do not need one). I had to grab alternative kernels to get antiX 21/22 working, but now antiX has newer kernels and antiX 23 (in testing) has been working great, either live or installed (I’ve done both).

While I’m not familiar with every product line in the AMD series, I am generally familiar enough to form the opinion that while the top end Intel chipsets have, at least in the past, outperformed AMD units, the price/performance ratios have long favored AMD, and also Intel got either lazy or financially strapped and fell behind, though they are aggressively planning an entire new generation of chips (not here yet though). That leaves AMD in the lead, at least in the consumer PC chip space, so I’d say this is a good move.

You probably know much more about the semiconductors than I do, only what I read (and occasionally experience) is the limit of my knowledge.
