On 1 October 2026, the exact Computech listings showed Ryzen 5 8500G: ₹14,794 (in stock) and Ryzen 5 5600G: ₹10,949 (sold out). The displayed difference is ₹3,845. These are dated single-store observations, not a live feed, national minimum or checkout-confirmed total.
The checked 8500G costs ₹3,845 more, but the cheaper 5600G offer was sold out. Both provide integrated graphics, yet the newer architecture alone does not prove an iGPU performance win. Compare measured results with the same memory configuration and settings. For a later discrete GPU, verify the CPU and motherboard PCIe lane allocation rather than assuming a full-bandwidth slot.
There is no universal buying winner from CPU price alone. Add the exact motherboard, compatible memory, cooler and any required graphics card, subtract reusable components, then compare measured workload results. A socket name does not guarantee a future drop-in upgrade: check the motherboard's support list, BIOS, power delivery and memory type.
The displayed CPU gap is ₹3,845, not a verified platform saving. Include motherboard, memory, cooler, delivery and any graphics card required. Retaining compatible components can change the answer.
Check the exact board support list, BIOS update method, power delivery and cooler fit. Do not assume every CPU on the same socket is supported.
Get current available quotes for CPU, board, compatible RAM and cooling. Do not choose a platform from the CPU sticker price alone.
Compare iGPU benchmarks at matching memory channels, speed and settings. Verify display outputs on the chosen motherboard.
₹3,845, from ₹14,794 and ₹10,949 on 1 October 2026 at Computech. These are exact-listing observations, not a nationwide range.
Ryzen 5 8500G was in stock and Ryzen 5 5600G was sold out at the check. Recheck the exact listing, package and delivered total; a sold-out price is not a buyable saving.
That requires workload-specific measured tests. Core count, thread count and clock speed alone cannot rank CPUs across architectures, hybrid-core layouts or cache designs.
No motherboard-and-memory quotes were verified for this comparison. Add the compatible board, RAM and cooling, account for reusable components and compare the full system cost.

Ryzen 5 5600G
Useful for an AM4 PC that must run without a dedicated GPU. Compare the live price with the Ryzen 5 5600GT; if a GPU is included from day one, the Ryzen 5 5600 is usually better value.
