    only $20 cheaper vs getting locally, prob not worth getting from overseas for warranty issues etc to save $20 ?

    • thatnewtechsmell on 25/07/2022 - 08:59

      Ah you mean eBay ShoppingExpress? Closer to $25, but yeah, fair point. I prefer a physical store ontop of that too. Just good to see price generally dropping.

      Would have less warranty issues dealing with amazon than a local seller. AMD makes you post the CPU back to Singapore at your expense

      • hollykryten on 25/07/2022 - 09:30

        Instead Amazon will make you send this back to the UK (which is even further than going to Singapore) but it might not be at your expense. It will take an even longer time for warranty. Remember it's sold and shipped from Amazon UK, not Amazon AU itself so it's not local warranty. It's UK warranty since AMD doesn't offer global warranty on the CPU.

        • Jimbuscus on 25/07/2022 - 10:41

          In my experience, you don't have the same automated return guarantee and have to ask the chat to make an exception, which once involved asking me to pay for return shipping and being reimbursed.

          I've always said no and the result has been that I could get a refund without return, but it's something I avoid.

          This is absolutely false.

          The only thing that matters is if the company does business in Australia, and since their website is accessible by Australians, they are indeed doing business here.

          The fact that the product is shipped from the Amazon UK website is irrelevant. The buyer (in Australia) has purchased the item and is covered under the ACL.

        In ~25 years in the game I've never had a CPU fail, or even heard of one fail.

        • surethang on 25/07/2022 - 13:29

          Yep, modern CPU field failure rate is ~1%. So the chances that an individual will see a failure in their life is extremely low.

          But with 500 million CPUs sold annually, that still means 5 million people/businesses will be dealing with CPU failures each year.

          How much inconvenience someone is willing to risk for a 1 in 100 chance will obviously vary. For example, there was a guy on here not long ago telling everyone they were crazy for not saving $9 by buying a Ryzen 5500 on Aliexpress. Yet for every 1000 people that do that, it means 10 of them will likely be without a PC for at least 2 months and possibly lose their whole purchase price.

        • greatlamp on 25/07/2022 - 14:29

          I thought the same way, then I had one fail. That's how I got to know AMD's warranty process.

          • [Deactivated] on 26/07/2022 - 11:29

            @greatlamp: I should clarify that 15 of those years have been in/around professional I.T roles. My man, you get severely unlucky.

            • greatlamp on 26/07/2022 - 12:01

              @[Deactivated]: Or maybe the failure rate of AMDs latest products are below par?

              Of course noone would say that these days, everyone is a fanboy for billionaries and corporations now.

              You will remember they were lying about boost clocks, their yields were too poor. But all the fanboys accepted their excuse.

                    @greatlamp: You're not lying, you just made a supposition, and the most cursory investigation of reported failure rates (which is more effort than you apparently made) doesn't support it.

                    Being overly effete isn't impressive. In fact it leaves a certain odour detected from some distance. Your comments are now all hidden, I'll never see another one you leave, but you're going to leave one anyway (one assumes).

    Good CPU for an HTPC but reasonably priced AM4 ITX boards have disappeared from the market

    The 5500 is going for $205-210 so you are basically getting the iGPU for free

      There's good NUC sized boxes with Ryzen 5800U that would be better for a HTPC

      • thatnewtechsmell on 25/07/2022 - 09:08

        Ooh care to share a couple? I've always preferred the flexibility of a full PC as HTPC, as smaller boxes never seem cheap enough to warrant the difference in usability.

        • Look Up on 25/07/2022 - 09:46

          Your preference is correct so depending on ITX mobo availability, either get the 5600G or 11400

          For an HTPC ITX case, check the In Win Chopin

        • Click_It on 25/07/2022 - 20:36

          Minisform UM560/580 has the 5625U / 5800U option. Ticks every box for me except its lacking DisplayPort which I need for my KVM switch.

          Minisforum B550 can be bought barebones and uses 4900G / 5600G / 5700G, completely overkill for what I need but ends up not costing a whole lot more than the above system and gives me DisplayPort without messy adapters that probably won't gel nicely with my KVM. (And no I don't care about the external GPU stuff which is a messy solution but it's actually cheaper than the X500 which is basically this without that option)

            @Click_It: Not that anyone probably cares, but I discovered the Minisforum UM560/580 supports USB-C to DisplayPort so that cheaper option is still on the table for people like me who need DisplayPort 👍

    • thatnewtechsmell on 25/07/2022 - 09:07

      Seems few eBay retailers offering the 5600, and local stores have it closer to $270-280. May as well fork out for the 5600X if after that better performance and no iGPU.

    • kasp on 25/07/2022 - 09:26

      I got the 5600G a little while ago for a build where I was like hmmmmm dunno if I will need a video card.

      Remember looking at the benchmarks and it the 5600X was only marginally faster. It was to the point where if you dropped in a dedicated GPU in later you wouldn't really notice a difference in gaming. However the GPU's where you would notice you shouldn't really be looking at the 5600X either.

      Glad I did that as GPUI prices have come down a lot and well I still don't think I need a GPU for that machine :D

      • Brrrrt on 25/07/2022 - 10:56
        +4

        I dont know where you got the benchmarks from but that is simply untrue, the 5600g have only half the L3 cache of 5600/x and is barely better than a 3600 in games. It’s essentially a binned laptop 5600H for desktops and comes with all the downsides of that, as with the lack of support for PCIe 4.0 drives etc. To quote Gamer Nexus, the 5600g, in CPU only workloads is roughly ‘in the range of a r5 3600, sometimes the 10600k’.

        If you don’t need a dGPU and wanted an budget desktop with some ability to play games. This is a good choice, but don’t go off and pretend it’s any equal to a 5600, and especially don’t spread misinformation out here.

    • jenna12 on 25/07/2022 - 09:34

      Not much of an upgrade really, regardless of your use case. I'd either go for a higher jump in CPU upgrade, or spend the money elsewhere in your system.

    • hollykryten on 25/07/2022 - 09:36

      You're probably better off spending the money for an upgrade to a good graphics card if you don't already have a good one. Now that would increase gaming performance if you're into gaming.

      the 5600 is around 19% faster in games :) .. The 5600G is NOT due to having half the cache

    • doobey1231 on 25/07/2022 - 10:05

      I wouldn't bother. AM5 is coming out next which will be a whole new socket for Ryzen. That should mean that AM4 CPUs should drop in price pretty drastically, regardless of where you go next, you are likely best off waiting until AM5 comes out, the 3600 is a great CPU as it is.

      • kapone on 25/07/2022 - 10:51
        +1

        @doobey1231 Theoretically yes, but AMD could be trying to do a Nvidia and run down stock levels as much as possible before the AM5 launch.

        Which if you're not in a rush, makes working out timing difficult.

        I want to build a basic 1080p gaming machine for my kids for Christmas, looking to spend under $1000. I'm planning on sticking with AM4 and already have a graphics card. Just trying to work out if I should pickup CPU and mobo now while prices are low but there's still stock, versus waiting a couple of months.

        Thinking of going a 5600 and an MSI B550 mobo around the $150 mark.

        Already have an old RX580, so not going to bother with a video card.

        • doobey1231 on 25/07/2022 - 11:22

          I have no doubt they would be trying to do that, but the demand isn't there like it was for GPUs, so I think they will struggle and there will be plenty of retail stores still offloading stock after AM5 comes out. Of course every situation is different, if you are going from no PC then it makes more sense to buy now, but if you already have a set up and this is just an upgrade, its often better to wait out the next release, if the improvements are significant enough then you can go for the new release, if it isnt then you will be able to pick up a 5000 series cheaper anyway. OC won't have to worry about lack of stock or anything so its worth waiting, especially when real world gains won't really be noticeable between a 3600 and a 5600G

      • [Deactivated] on 25/07/2022 - 12:22

        You can always, always say "wait for the next thing" in technology.

    • Brrrrt on 25/07/2022 - 10:58

      Should have went for the 5600 deal recently, or just wait for AM5 imo.

      This is barely any faster than a 3600 in games and in cpu only workloads it’s around a 3600/10600k in terms of performance.

  • UncleRico on 25/07/2022 - 09:51

    Conflicting reports on whether or not the 5600G is likely to be any better than my 3400G for my usage.

    I went for the Vegas 11-based 3400G since I really only play Football Manager and some old school FPS'ers. At this price, the 5600G is a cheap upgrade, but the Vega 7-based IGPU concerns me. Anyone know for sure if it would be a worthwhile upgrade for someone still holding off on buying a dedicated GPU?

    • amaslam on 25/07/2022 - 10:09
      +1

      I don't think it would be a noticeable difference. I have a 3200G based system (A320 chipset) and have also built 2 5600G based systems (B450 and X570) and just don't see any noticeable speed difference so far.

      I'd say wait for 7000 or even 8000 (whatever G type CPUs they release in the future) and maybe new build. For this round I'd just put the wallet away (I know OzBargain tempation!).

      • UncleRico on 25/07/2022 - 11:39

        Damn you and your logic! Sound advice and I suspect you are right. Not least since the 3400g does actually have a superior IGPU than the 3200g, so if you didn't have a noticeable upgrade, I'd likely have even less.

        Many thanks for the real world experience.

    • Pugkin on 25/07/2022 - 11:04

      Went from 3400g-5700g but still a mild help, the specs may not be monumentally different, but the performance is, this gen Igpu is a good chunk better and you are getting a better cpu at the same time, as a 3400g is more like a 2400gx

      • UncleRico on 25/07/2022 - 11:38

        5700g is Vega 8 vs Vega 7 in 5600g, I believe. So that may explain the more profound improvement in your case.

        Thanks for the feedback.

          +1

          There’s not a massive difference between the two in performance, what makes the 5000g different from the 3400g is they made less sacrifices to the cpu, mostly cut off cache this time instead of using an old cpu architecture

          • UncleRico on 25/07/2022 - 13:03

            @Pugkin: Out of interest, what made you choose the 5700g upgrade path? I'm a bit conflicted at the moment, since the 5700g received only lukewarm reviews, but seems to be the fastest IGPU available at present, making it a genuine consideration for someone like me who is looking for an interim upgrade in the short-term, knowing I can always add a dedicated GPU down the track…

            • Pugkin on 25/07/2022 - 14:44

  • peternow on 25/07/2022 - 12:58

    I think the answer is yes - I got a 2400g in my HTPC (using it headless for Plex server at the moment but like the option to keep ability to connect directly to TV) - it doesn't support upgrade to Win 11.

    I assume 2400g -> 5600g is a good upgrade path given the price?

    • amaslam on 25/07/2022 - 22:17
      +1

      Yes, I used to have a 2200G and even the 3200G was noticeably better. So 5600G should be even more noticeably better than the 2400G.

      As for Win11 so far I have installed it a few times on 'older' chips without a hitch. To test out I also installed Office 2019 and Office 2021 and they work fine. Last test is Netflix/YouTube/Chrome browsing and also fine.

      Works fine on:
      10 year old Intel chip (Core I7-3xxx)
      11 year old HP (AMD E2-series APU) - slow as but installs OK. Not really usable so just going back to Win8.1 for that CPU.

    Can anyone recommend me a cheap htpc build using this cpu or intel equivelent?
    Prefer a list of parts and prices would be good.

    • thatnewtechsmell on 25/07/2022 - 14:05

      The problem with HTPC setups right now, with this CPU/APU or others, is keeping the PC small. Mini-ITX sized motherboards are harder to come by, for both AMD & Intel CPUs, and they still come at a premium price. What sort of budget are you looking at overall? And does the size of the PC matter much, or can you accommodate a larger build?

      • pinkybrain on 25/07/2022 - 14:18

        most of my htpc have been repurpose older pc towers.

        Currently I got pi3b+ but it is too weak for 4k etc..

        Not sure what the budget is but prefer it as cheap as possible.
        But needs to be able play 4k and possibly future proofing option (8k if possible)

        If you look at this post
        they got a pc $699

        https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/714947

        If I built something similar myself as a new PC (then I can repurpose my current PC as a new HTPC) so that is also an option.
        My current pc can do 4k decoding etc.. but it is a very very old PC so I am also due for a new PC build for a long time now (ie want to build an RGB lighting.. PC like most PC's you see nowadays).

        Am also considering waiting it out till the new AMD socket or newer intel CPU to arrive (it should not be long to go, is it december or less time frame?)
        since this current socket is EOL. so no future proofing etc.

        What do you think is better option
        and what sort of build do you recommend or wait it out?
