AMD Reveals Specs of Ryzen 2000G "Raven Ridge" APUs
AMD today revealed specifications of its first desktop socket AM4 APUs based on the "Zen" CPU micro-architecture, the Ryzen 2000G "Raven Ridge" series. The chips combine a quad-core "Zen" CPU with an integrated graphics core based on the "Vega" graphics architecture, with up to 11 NGCUs, amounting to 704 stream processors. The company is initially launching two SKUs, the Ryzen 3 2200G, and the Ryzen 5 2400G. Besides clock speeds, the two are differentiated with the Ryzen 5 featuring CPU SMT, and more iGPU stream processsors. The Ryzen 5 2400G is priced at USD $169, while the Ryzen 3 2200G goes for $99. Both parts will be available on the 12th of February, 2018.
The Ryzen 5 2400 features an 4-core/8-thread CPU clocked at 3.60 GHz, with a boost frequency of 3.90 GHz; 2 MB of L2 cache (512 KB per core), and 4 MB of shared L3 cache; and Radeon Vega 11 graphics (with the 11 denoting NGCU count), featuring 704 stream processors. The iGPU engine clock is set at 1250 MHz. The dual-channel DDR4 integrated memory controller supports up to 64 GB of dual-channel DDR4-2933 MHz memory. The Ryzen 3 2200G is a slightly cut down part. Lacking SMT, its 4-core/4-thread CPU ticks at 3.50 GHz, with 3.70 GHz boost. Its CPU cache hierarchy is unchanged; the iGPU features only 8 out of 11 NGCUs, which translate to 512 stream processors. The iGPU engine clock is set at 1100 MHz. Both parts feature unlocked CPU base-clock multipliers; and have their TDP rated at 65W, and include AMD Wraith Stealth cooling solutions.

So short sum, good CPU, underwhelming iGPU.
If you let yourself believe you were getting a RX480 in a 15 watt part, of course it will be unimpressive, but that is because your expectations are completely unrealistic. For those of us with realistic expectations, this part looks like quite the upgrade from the current 28nm excavator chips.
EDIT: these are desktop parts, but the point still stands. These are a major step up from AMD's last 65 watt parts, especially for any games that are CPU demanding. Thanks to @RejZoR
These are actually 65W desktop parts, not 15W mobile... Still impressive considering this is CPU+GPU combo.
Also last thing, I don't expect these laptops to perform anything godly, that's not their purpose.
As for the desktop APU, I can't say anything but I hope it won't be as bad as the laptop APUs since they didn't show anything special.

Yeah it would be nice to have numbers in games that can be used for comparison. Although we do have some we don't have comparable numbers. The numbers do show that the 2400G should allow someone to play any game off the shelf without needing to buy an off the shelf GPU to even play the game (which right now would be a task in itself thankyou Crypto Miners)
Now, gief reviews plz.
Add 20% (at least) to their results, and that's the true potential of a tiny 15w cpu. Now scale that up to a 100w desktop APU, and you should have something comparable to a console in a $170 APU!
An Up-to clock means little till we see if it can hold that 1250mhz clock or not, vega is not exactly known for running at advertised clocks.
GCN1.0 based not GCN1.0 ... they fattened the caches and heavily tuned it... so you can throw that wild ipc number out... along with the clock.
Besides the point the xbox one x isn't GCN 1.0 based at all... and the shared gddr5 will make this poor apu a smear on the wall.No shit... I clearly quoted the specs for the xbox one x. You should also use the S specs not the original anyways.... That said history tells us (and we have console benchmarks now) due to console optimizations you can't just equal a console on paper to beat it. I will be surprised if the apu has a solid 1250 clock and that isn't the up-to number. That along with optimizations is the main reason why I don't think this will outperform the original, let alone the ps4/pro which have proper memory bandwidth from the start.
It's a pain in the ass because you have to use an external capture card to do the frame pacing... and most games are frame capped anyways...
It pretty much is just measuring how often they drop below the cap.
Now you can apologize since you couldn't even see fit to use a damn search engine before attacking the first time.:kookoo:
