Harnessing the power of “Zen 3” architecture, 7nm process, and Radeon Graphics, the Ryzen 5000 G-Series offers incredible generational improvements, driving over 100 FPS in gaming and high-speed content creation. With even more benefits for users, the Ryzen 5000 G-Series can take full advantage of features like AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution, Radeon Boost, AMD Smart Access Memory and more.
