Community Feedback

What Owners Say

Owners love the built-in graphics that can handle light gaming without a dedicated card. The usual gripe is it's hard to find in stores and the CPU performance trails newer models.

Pros
  • Plays modern games without a graphics card
  • Handles heavy multitasking without breaking a sweat
  • Runs cool and quiet on the stock cooler
  • Fits older AM4 motherboards for easy upgrades
Cons
  • No PCIe 4.0 support
  • Limited CPU upgrade path
  • Integrated graphics eats system RAM
Verdict

Our verdict on the Ryzen 7 4700G

The AMD Ryzen 7 4700G is an APU that pairs fast Zen 2 cores with the best integrated graphics you could get in 2020.

Get it if you want a solid all-in-one chip for a compact PC that can handle light gaming without a separate graphics card. Skip it if you already have a dedicated GPU, because newer CPUs offer better pure processing performance for the same money.

Buy it if…

  • Buy it if you want a fast all-in-one desktop without a graphics card.
  • Buy it if you need a quiet office PC with solid multitasking skills.
  • Buy it if you're building a small home server or media box.
