This is not a new CPU but rather newly available to consumers as it was an OEM part. We all thought this would be a great value 8-core CPU for those who want to upgrade their AM4 platform. The issue is not the reduction of clock speed (which is usually not that big of a deal) but the reduced L3 cache (50% less) and lacks PCIE 4 support. This is not a slightly worse 5700X but rather it's a 5700G without the G.
The 5700X is the better part and has seen a lot of sales lately so we strongly recommend that over the 5700.
