Various AMD Ryzen "Raven Ridge" Models Put Through 3DMark
Ahead of its February 12 launch, various models of AMD Ryzen "Raven Ridge" APUs, in both their notebook and desktop iterations, were put through 3DMark, which is perhaps the best way to put AMD's combination of its latest CPU and GPU architectures, to the test. Pictures also surfaced on Reddit, of the PIB boxes of the Ryzen 3 2200G and Ryzen 5 2400G, highlighting their "silver band" demarcation from the rest of the Ryzen processor lineup. This silver band features prominent Radeon Vega graphics branding, indicating that the model is a "Raven Ridge" APU.
Armed with 704 "Vega" stream processors spread across 11 NGCUs, the Radeon Vega 11 integrated graphics core of the Ryzen 5 2400G is AMD's fastest integrated graphics solution by far. It's also the fastest integrated graphics solution fully integrated with the CPU silicon (unlike, for example, the Core i7-8705G being a multi-chip module). The entire Ryzen "Raven Ridge" APU lineup was put through 3DMark 11 "Performance" preset, by someone with access to all of them. The 2400G leads the pack with 5,162 points, and a graphics score of 5,042 points. The 2200G, which features 512 stream processors, and lacks SMT, manages 4,151 points, with 3,950 points graphics score. The 2400G scores somewhere between the desktop RX 550 and the RX 560, which makes it possible for you to run "Player Unknown's Battlegrounds" at 900p or even 1080p with some details dialed down.

It should be fairly close but that's about it but for many people it's what they want, on this forum not so much I guess.
its an i7 4790 (it was an i5 3550 last week), 16GB ram, SSD and a 750ti
to buy that PC today, even with its older hardware would not be cheap (i get stupidly lucky with second hand hardware) - and along comes raven ridge, promising that level of performance as *entry level* at low prices
This is genuinely exciting as a kick in the pants for first time gamers, HTPC's that double as gaming systems, and so on
2000 pin consumer cpu to allow for dedicated memory for the memory starved apu is not going to happen.
DDR5 in 2019-2020 will bring next jump in apu performance but 3200mhz ddr4 + amd APU should be quite a leap from what we used to have :-)
Raven ridge pushing past 750ti levels is nothing short of a massive jump in real world performance.
And for 80W you could get something between RX560 and RX570. I'd like to see that.
I'd love sticking a day or 2 with engineers @ AMD having such things to play with.

RX460 is still getting a graphics score of 8000 depending on clocks. Compare that to 5000 of the best APU.
The Raven Ridge Ryzen 5 2400G Basically ends up on par with a I5 3000 series CPU and RX550 GPU. Thats not really impressive in terms of performance however it IS impressive from TDP standpoint.
Raven Ridge should be 65w TDP
I5 3550 for example is 77w + 47 w of the RX550 thats 117w or double the power for the same performance.
i3 4330 is 54 w + 47w for just over 100w TDP.
i3 8100 is 65 w + 47w for again around 100-110w. Granted the i3 will be faster in CPU tasks without the RX550 the Intel chip does get left in the dust.
So overall is the performance is accurate then AMD has a good offering in terms of performance per watt. However its likely not going to replace older entry level systems
To have one of those APU's in a case like my INWIN Chopin would be awesome! Tiny Desktop PC that CAN play games.
You wont find much else that can do that at that size and for the price!
Still to put that into perspective Intel Iris Pro 580 offers GPU performance similar to that of AMD HD 5790 / 5830
This is the performance you can roughly expect from Raven Ridge 2400G (RX 550 ) www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-radeon-rx-550-2gb,5034-4.html
Essentially all low settings in modern titles at 1080p with indie or more casual / less demanding titles being playable at medium or higher settings. Its good enough not great. But way better than expect considering the TDP value. if TDP was higher at 95w instead of 65w it likely would perform a great deal better.
That said would be good for a system used for older titles from about decade ago. The Dark and dank Vista days lol.
