Quick Answers

So, is Radeon Ryzen 7 4700G better than Radeon Ryzen 5 150?

Yes. Radeon Ryzen 7 4700G is clearly the better overall GPU here. Radeon Ryzen 7 4700G averages 112.0% more FPS across 44 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 2,553 vs 2,595 in G3D Mark. On top of that, Radeon Ryzen 7 4700G is a 2025 card with FSR upscaling, while Radeon Ryzen 5 150 is a 2017 model from an older generation with FSR upscaling. So this is not really a tight same-tier comparison. It is more a modern card against an older, weaker alternative.

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

Radeon Ryzen 7 4700G is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2025 generation instead of 2017, 100.0% more ray-tracing hardware, and a 6nm process instead of 14nm. That makes it the safer long-run choice for modern games.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

Radeon Ryzen 7 4700G is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. Radeon Ryzen 7 4700G is about $51 cheaper on MSRP at $299 MSRP versus $350 MSRP, and you are getting 112.0% more estimated average FPS across 44 tracked games in our benchmark data and a lower G3D Mark (2,553 vs 2,595). It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 15.2%. That is why the better overall card still comes out as the smarter buy today, not just the faster one.

Is Radeon Ryzen 5 150 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

Yes. Radeon Ryzen 5 150 is still a strong modern gaming GPU: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. It remains a good buy when you can get it meaningfully cheaper than the alternative around $350 MSRP, even if Radeon Ryzen 7 4700G is still the cleaner recommendation on overall value today.
