Is it worth it to pay extra for a processor?

Question

Iron

Good afternoon.
The choice is next. While the PC will be without a video card, so the built-in video in the process is a must. Option 2:
1) AMD Ryzen 5 5600G - price 24,990 rubles
2) AMD Ryzen 7 5700G - price 29,990 rubles

The difference is 5 thousand. Looked at the tests, of course, AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is the best choice. But in terms of price-performance ratio, it is clearly inferior to the fifth Ryzen. What would you suggest? On the one hand, I collect the computer for a long time, as soon as I buy a video card - I plan that I will not get into the computer for 5-6 years. Therefore, AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is better, on the other hand, but are these parameters so important in tests? In general, I have been sitting on the core i7-6700HQ for the 6th year already, and the processor seems to cope with everything. In games, it started to freeze a little, but here it’s clearly the case in the ancient vidyuhi for 2GB. (I don't play top games, but average games on medium settings).

So what do you think? I don’t feel sorry for 5k, but I’m a rational person, if the percentage doesn’t pull on this amount, then what for throwing money away?

Thanks to all!

Answer 1

Look, the main difference between them is the number of cores
The 5600G has 6 cores/12 threads
The 5700G has 8 cores/16 threads The
5700 also has a more powerful video card built in.
Actually, the next question is: will you, in your load, have something to utilize these additional 2 cores / 4 threads? These are either tasks that are well parallelized, or a large number of processes (virtual machines, for example). At one time I took the 1700 of the first generation precisely because of these additional cores compared to 1600. Actually, I have no problems with the peak load of the CPU. Maybe 6 cores would be enough, maybe 4. But, since I took the computer for a long time (and it’s more than enough for me at the moment), I decided to take the maximum available configuration (there was also a Threadripper, but its price is a little more than indecent ).
I'm a Java developer and occasionally play less demanding games.
Personally, under such conditions, I would take 5700, but of course you decide.

Answer 2

And what's the point of changing this percentage right now? from intel? it seems to be enough for work tasks ... better save money for video))
I have an i5 7600, for me it’s enough for now ....
Take a new intel in 3 years and that’s it ... fuck these entertainments with AMD)

Answer 3

On the one hand, I collect the computer for a long time, as soon as I buy a video card - I plan that I will not get into the computer for 5-6 years.

I advise you not to plan this right away, and there will be no problems and wasted money. Buy now ryzen 5, then something newer will come out - sell it for more or less adequate money, because. it won't be old yet, throw in some money and get a better one. And so with everything. On the scale of the same 5-6 years, you will get a more powerful computer, and you will lose less money than if you do not touch the computer at all, and then change it entirely.
