AMD Ryzen 5 2400G Vs Core i5-8400 Gaming Benchmarks
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.
| Model | Cores / Threads | CPU clock / turbo | L2 cache | L3 cache | graphics | shaders | Max. GPU clock | Storage | CTDP | TDP | price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ryzen 5 2400G | 4/8 | 3.6 / 3.9 GHz | 2 MB | 4 MB | Vega11 | 704 | 1,250 MHz | DDR4-2933 | 45-65 W | 65 W | $ 169 |
| Ryzen 3 2200G | 4/4 | 3.5 / 3.7 GHz | 2 MB | 4 MB | Vega8 | 512 | 1,100 MHz | DDR4-2933 | 45-65 W | 65 W | $ 99 |

Though I think it's pretty obvious that a 2400G would win against an 8400 (using stock clocks and their IGPs, anyway), I always take benchmarks released from the manufacturer with a grain of salt.
It is available. I know Acer has a laptop with it. That being said, the 2700U is a laptop chip. I'm guessing what you're actually looking for is the 2700G, which hasn't been released yet.
I know Zotac has made AMD motherboards, but I don't think they've ever done anything GPU related. I wonder if they have some sort of contract detail with Nvidia (and maybe Intel), because I haven't seen any AM4 boards made by them, either. So, I don't think we're likely going to see anything with a BGA chip.

Personally what I'm aching for is the 2700U part. Where is it? Why was it launched months ago yet there's still no availability?

I'm pretty sure that Zotac would do some nice, tiny and silent HTPC boxes with the 2700U, and yet it seems that we'll see some not so tiny and silent boxed with 2400G before we see the 2700U ones.

AMD will have to compete against itself once Intel launches their CPU+Vega+HBM2 combo... although I'm pretty sure everybody knows who will win that round.

Vega M GL/GH are very different product. 1280/1536 SP is a lot more than you have here. AMD will make money by selling them to Intel. And Intel will sell that at even bigger premium.
While great for notebooks. Performance/price will not be exactly great as it will allow much greater performance in even smaller notebooks.
Then there is intel's mobile vs AMD's mobile. in 15W AMD is actually winning unless manufacturer gimps cooling or memory controller (Lenovo!!!).

Looks like a clear win to me in AMD's favor. I will not use such an iGPU for gaming personally, but I can easily see a Ryzen system as my next HTPC, probably saving me some money when going down that route (not to mention I could still sell the 960 in my HTPC to those pesky miners

Who cares ? This ones will be also taken for mining and missing from your local dealership
