AMD Specs of Ryzen 2000G "Raven Ridge" APUs Revealed

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 01/22/2018 11:28 AM | source: | 22 comment(s)

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.

Ryzen 3 2200U	2/4	2.5 / 3.4 GHz	1 MB	4 MB	Vega3 Mobile	192	1,100 MHz	DDR4	12-25 W	15W	NA

The table below gives an overview of the currently known data about the Raven Ridge processors. The 2400G and 2200G are desktop processors, the others are mobile variants.

The released details also confirm that all desktop models will compete with configurable TDP from 45 to 65 watts, and would get bundled with an AMD Wraith Stealth cooler.

From the early benchmarks i saw for the new processor Ryzen 5 2400G , its not worth it unless you really need the integrated graphics. The Ryzen 5 1600 which is about the same price is much faster for multitasking (+37% multi-core speed) which makes a big difference.

Of course a Hexacore processor with SMT is going to be better at multi-tasking than a Quad core with SMT..... To think otherwise would be utterly stupid.

I already own a graphics card like most people and dont ever plan on buying integrated graphics. Everyone knows that what is integrated is usually slower and cheaper. I am pretty sure it also slows down the overall computer processing. The integrated graphics are from Radeon and we also know that Nvidia cards are better (look at the top graphics cards in the benchmarks if you dont believe me)..

Good for you!!! It's great that you own a graphics card already!! No everyone actually needs a dedicated graphics card. Some people can get buy just fine on an integrated graphics processor. HTPC users are a great example.

Sure, NVidia graphics cards are better. However, NVidia doesn't sell x86 processors or offer their GPU for integration into an x86 processor. Therefore, whatever point you were trying to make is completely invalidated....

Actually, the iGPU doesn't slow the processor down at all. With the right SDK, the iGPU can actually make the processor faster.....

Like we always say , you get what you pay for. When you try so save a bit of money. you often end up losing alot on quality. I did the mistake when buying the Ryzen 3. They are very slow at multi-tasking and i ended up buying a Ryzen 5 1600 instead. I had alot problems with the Ryzen 3 making my computer run slow as soon i was starting to open a few windows and having a few software or browsers running at the same time. The 2400G should have the same problem and i dont recommend it.

Ryzen 3 processors are simple Quad core processors. Ryzen 5 processors are either Quad core processors with SMT or Hexacore processors with SMT. Ryzen 3 are budget processors whereas Ryzen 5 are mid-range processors. Following so far? Ryzen 5 2400G is going to handle multi-tasking just as well as Ryzen 5 1400 does, which is still considerably better than a Ryzen 3 1300X....

So, my recommendation at this point, is for you to stop posting bullshit....

...

Trust me, AMD's new APUs fit perfectly on numerous use cases, it doesn't have to fit yours for it to be a great option.

The main problem is that they launch APUs... but they don't try to sell them for some reason (I'm guessing drivers aren't 100% ready, or manufacturing isn't going as good as expected). I'm kind'a sad that the 2700U APU is still a paper launch, since it's still nowhere to be seen in actual stores.
