Not that on an APU you would probably need it badly, but I am kind of surprised you can't set the framebuffer size to 4gb out of the box...Hoping at some point to see some iGPU overclocking on one of these.

Do they even Crypto?
Seriously, seems like a nice intro budget build to PC gaming. Some pretty impressive results

seems like a very good deal and good product

Why no online games added to the review? Dota2 or CS:Go? Basically here are tested AAA titles that usually are played with dedicated graphics cards by enthusiasts.
This kind of CPU's will buy other userbase, like You said yourself in conclusion. Then why not add those userbase games? Ofcourse AAA titles can be there for comparability.

Very impressive APU, matching low-end dGPUs and completely blowing Intel iGPUs out of the water. It's amazing to consider that 1080p gaming is now a reality with integrated graphics, and I'd gladly recommend the 2400G to anyone looking for a budget gaming system (and the 2200G isn't bad either).
From what I've seen in other reviews, it excels in Overwatch and CS:GO but is a stutterfest in PUBG. Not sure about Dota 2 but probably does well there as well.

A little disappointing that this has Summit Ridge cores with basically no fixes at all. Makes me wonder why this wasn't called a 1400g instead?
Regardless, still seems like a great product. I was not expecting the IGP to perform so well. Seems like the best option for entry-level gaming PCs at the moment.

Most likely i will get hate for it but i think there is a chance those cpus will be snatched by miners also if they have the ability to pay back their cost in 6 months then why would they even consider other cpus?
BLEH!
I want one! Be nice to see how far the IGP can be pushed frequency wise, but that performance is pretty killer.

I would like to see some comparison with lower end GPUs like for example GTX 1050 or RX560.

Im sorry to bother you, but i didnt see any tests with overclocked ram, seeing as the FPS arent much different between the 2200g and 2400g i was thinking that the 2400g might be held back by the ram speed. Hence perhaps if you could do a test with overclocked ram (the flarex should oc decently no?). Naturally what you wrote in the review that the ram costs more than APU+Mobo is true and ridiculous. But it would still be very interesting just to see if its ram limitation (frequency better than timing etc., frequency bringing improvement, did the ram controller get improved etc)
Thanks

I'd love this APU for my 2D gaming needs (I think IGP gaming is kewl 😀)
Still wouldn't touch it for competitive multi-play (DOTA 2, Overwatch, TF2, CS/GO, Diablo III), no matter how light GPU load.
Nor would I recommend it to anyone who even thinks about modern games. Lets get real for a sec: This is a very good product, might be even great!
Now lets not go overboard: 1080p or no, 35fps @lowest is not entry level gaming, it's torture gaming.
We've seen similar APUs from AMD earlier. TBH this one might be a notch better (closer to Intel CPUs perf. wise and closer to NV entry GPUs perf. wise), nevertheless so called light desktop gaming/entry gaming is not what makes or brakes this APU.
Light gaming at desktop did not exist as a viable market or something which needed to be addressed 5 years ago. It's no different today.
Its all about Notebooks (money wise), and that's where this puppy needs to shine.
Her ya go:
