A lot has been said and spoken on the upcoming AMD Ryzen 5 2400G as well as the 2200G. Little do we actually know about the graphics performance of these upcoming APUs. As it turns out, in a slide deck from AMD have a comparison in between the AMD Ryzen 5 2400G and Core i5-8400.



AMD Ryzen 5 2400G has been fitted with 11 AMD Vega CUs, 11x64 = 704 stream processors. It has 44 TMUs. The Core i5-8400 comes with Intel 600 series HD graphics and is not going to be any match for the new AMD Vega APUs from an IGP point of view. Have a peek at the aforementioned slide:

 


That result set is, however, an official benchmark set by AMD, so some disclaimers need to be put in place and perspective.  The product names for the two initial SKUs are: 

  • AMD Ryzen 3 2200G with Radeon Vega 8 graphics
  • AMD Ryzen 5 2400G with Radeon Vega 11 graphics.
So that's 8 CUs for the 2200G = 512 shader processors for the cheaper SKU. AMD has announced the specifications of two of these APU's: the Ryzen 3 2200G and the Ryzen 5 2400G series. What is interesting to see straight of the bat is that default memory speeds have been bumped upwards to up to 2933 MHz. Since the APUs graphics engine makes use of that DDR4 memory, this is a clever move, reports computer base. As all AM4 platforms are currently being prepared with Raven Ridge BIOS updates and thus the Ryzen 2000 CPUs as well, the upcoming new processors would launch alongside new X470 motherboards. The motherboard manufacturers claim support speeds of up to 4000 MHz.
