AMD introduces Ryzen 3000 series APUs for desktops
So following all the Ryzen 16-core and NAVI news, one more update has to be made as AMD also announced two new APUs. Well, new, they are not using Zen2 architecture but rather use optimized 12nm versions from the previous generation. The Ryzen 3 3200G and Ryzen 5 3400G mainly will see a higher clock frequency.
AMD Ryzen 3 3200G gets four cores and no SMT, together with a Vega 8 gpu. The processor's boost speed has been increased from 3.7 to 4.0 GHz. The GPU is actually also running faster at 1250 MHz (was 1100 MHz). The more expensive Ryzen 5 3400G again has four cores and eight threads and a larger Vega 11-GPU. Here too the processor runs 300 MHz faster at a boost of 4.2 GHz. The Vega 11 GPU has been bumped up in frequency from 1250 MHz to 1400 MHz. Specifically for this model, an automatic overclocking function has also been built in. Also, that model will get better TIM.
The new APUs will be available from 7 July. The suggested retail prices have remained the same, so it costs anywhere from one hundred and one hundred and fifty euros.

It's zen+, so it's exactly that: a refresh.
That 3200 apu looks insanely good value for a HTPC... Slap that on a cheap b450 board and some 8gb of ram and you have a PS4-like machine with all of the additional benefits that a PC has, and much better CPU, for about the same price or even less.

No hex core, no much beefier GPU, boring.. good for mothers machines used by nephews when they visit.

No real reason to upgrade my 2200G. IF the 3200G would have Navi iGPU, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

That's a bit disappointing. I was really hoping to see a larger
L3"gaming" cache and the improved memory controller, both of which the APUs desperately need. Basically just seems to be a refresh of last-gen.
