At this price those CPUs seem really nice, definitely a better pick than the pentium.

I am quite impressed at how well the ZEN and Vega archs scale (though Vega only down). Also, while these products aren't something I would buy for myself, it's good to know they are out there and how they perform in case someone asks me to build them a low-budget PC.

Review focus was on the cpu's. Anyway, its the same vega11 chip thats on 200ge, 1500mhz is the ceiling.

@Hilbert Hagedoorn , I have a suggestion:
For low-end products like this, of course it's fun to see where you can push them to overclock, but I think it's actually more interesting and useful to know what it takes to make it passively cooled, or perhaps making it fit in the smallest possible chassis you can get.
So, for example, you could have some pretty interesting content regarding performance and stability while undervolting under 100% load (including iGPU), with and without passive cooling. I think some people might even care about seeing how low you can set the power draw, since that could allow people to use something like a PicoPSU.
The only reason why any Guru3D readers would care about getting an Athlon (or a Pentium or Celeron) is for specialized environments. Since these products are highly affordable, I think people might actually have an increased interest in seeing what these products are capable of in ways they don't normally approach.

I didn't think memory increase would help considering the 2 cores are on the same substrate though?
Not sure what you're getting at? Are you saying this because of the performance of the CPU?

This CPU was released in 2018, so I think he's implying that this review seems late. But... this CPU is a bit technologically dated, too (and so is the name).

True but with faster memory now at least. Really though, for super budget cpu that's open to be upgraded on a platform can't really expect a lot.

To me the market of budget processors should be dead (or close). A while back there was a need for them since there was no substitute for a device to decently play movies, browse internet or do light office gaming stuff. Today there are tablets/phones or even TV that will do it, not to mention powerful enough laptops (budget).

No, i thought this was a review of an old Athlon processor lol, totallly slipped my mind that the Athlon brand had been revived for these 2 parts.

I feel these parts should have been kept off the consumer market and made available only to OEM's selling office pc's. the 2200G is more likely to be the lowest anyone building an aio htpc will want to go.

igpu cannot be overclock it is hardware locked but with the Ram overclocking capabilities it does perform better the higher the Ram is overclock.
@Hilbert Hagedoorn great review , it is indeed lots of fun to tweak this tiny 2 cores cpus.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Ryzen 2200G cost a fair bit more then the 220G, here in Denmark and the 220G is almost half the TDP.
The 220G would be a perfect replacement for my old passively cooled AM1 2Ghz Quadcore 25W TDP.

you can OC it as well on Asrock motherboard
I agree with you with the fact that even a 200GE is enough as once OC you will get the same result than the most expensive one.
It is an ultra cool CPU for HTPC, even OCed it can be cooled passively... for this use it's gold.
