My daily driver is a 5700G.

Some of the processors are Unicorns. 5800X3D are out of production,
and there didn't seem to be that many of them. The 5950X did not
see discounts, and this is normal with both AMD and Intel, that the
top SKU doesn't need a discount.

The 5600G were around for a good long time, but they eventually disappeared.
It is hard to say what is left. Maybe even the 5700G is gone.

*******

The "Specifications" : "Connectivity" has the details on PCI Express.

My 5700G is PCIe Rev3 on the video slot (checked with GPU-Z).
I don't use the NVMe, and I suspect that is Rev3 as well.
You might have to find an early review article (like an Anandtech)
to get that sort of detail. The AMD datasheet tends to ignore the
Southbridge influence on the lower x4 slot (and the lower NVMe if there
is one).

Generally, you expect the non-iGPU ones to have a better slot.

A "pro tip" such as it is :-) Some GT1030 were sold recently,
but they might well all be bought out by now. (Gigabyte have released
some like that in the past, and that's how I got a 1650 in this machine.)
The GT1030 is an obsolete card, by all practical measures, but it does
allow you to buy a better CPU. I paid $99 CDN for mine. You can even
stick it in the lower slot if you want :-)

But generally as PCs go, this platform (AM4 - 5000 series),
was creaky when it came out, and it just looks bad now.
But I never particularly cared that "everything be the fastest" here.
My stuff is consistently of the cheaper variety.

If you're "saving electricity", the low end G processors are almost
as low power as a laptop... at idle. The 5950X, the whole box draws
about 200W when using all the cores. But if you want slightly better
overall hardware, the non-iGPU ones are a better fit.
