AMD Ryzen 5 2400G 3.6 GHz with Vega 11 Graphics

[W1zzard]

Today, AMD released their new Ryzen G processors, which feature integrated graphics with the Vega architecture. These new processors use the AM4 socket, which means all motherboards that support Ryzen will support Ryzen G, too. With a price of $170, the Ryzen 5 2400G is also priced reasonably when looking at platform cost because you don't have to buy a separate graphics card at inflated prices.

Interesting offerings.

OC page has no wording, nothing on iGPU overclocking

 

[Ferrum Master]

Small derp.

Due to the smaller cache size, the CPU will benefit more from faste memory than the original Ryzen processors.

Well it certainly will sell...

 

[Durvelle27]

Not bad for the price. Was kind of hoping for more OC potential and IGP power but nonetheless worth it for people that aren’t hardcore gamers or on a very tight budget.

When I first heard about ryzen apus I had hoped they will put at least 1024 gpu cores in there to not be completely crap at gaming. Also the fact that they only have 4mb of l3 cache wich make them even more hungry for super fast/super expensive ddr4 makes them kinda uselles for anything else but office, media and very old games gaming.

Amazon don't so...

the results in the review are with 3200 memory which is significantly more expansive.

What about post meltdown/spectre benches? Also did the test bench, for this review, have the aforementioned patches?

For now, besides one would assume you'd want an APU to be paired with a decent kit.

If it can manage an ok frame rate in World of Warcraft then it may be a good replacement for the wife’s Q9550 system running an older amd 4870 gpu

Nice review.
Any infos about the temps as AMD is now using thermal paste under the IHS?

 

[dirtyferret]

I wonder how many of these APUs AMD really sells. The vast majority of people don't need graphic performance beyond movie/tv streaming. Most gamers would want something with more power in the graphics department.

Doubtful as BoA expansion has increased minimal CPU & GPU demands (you would be fine on the CPU side with the 2400g

Intel® Core™ i5-760 or
AMD FX™-8100 or later

NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 560 2GB or
AMD™ Radeon™ HD 7850 2GB

I would think anyone who previously bought an i3 or i5, minus dGPU, should be happy with these. These should also be great for HTPC or (mini) ITX builds.

BFA, and new areas are more graphically intense actually. Even the starting zones now

 

[kastriot]

People are never happy

 

[Liviu Cojocaru]

A very good APU in my opinion

 

[M2B]

I'm a little disappointed with gaming perfomance, but overall performance is good.
I think PC market needs more powerful APUs for budget gaming systems.
for a console-like experience (Med-High Settings @30/60FPS) I guess we need something as powerful as a RX 560 for graphics processing unit in APUs.

 

[illli]

Was expecting this type of performance, but was hoping for it to be closer to the gtx 1050 at 1080 resolution

 

[bug]

It seems I'll never get APUs. Why bother beefing up the IGP if it still can't play games? Do people really care is Excel in rendered at 300 or 3,000 fps?

What these have going for them, is Intel only released the 370 for Coffee Lake so it's basically impossible to build a cheap system using their CPUs atm.

 

[Jism]

So you've set the MP up to 4GHz or was 4Ghz the absolute max?

 

[GoldenX]

Was the IGP OC with the stock voltage?

 

[Readlight]

It's not the first and last cpu there will be more.
And finding well-made game for you computer will be harder.

 

[SL2]

With the G4560 being so close to the 2400G at 1080 gaming when combined with a GTX 1080 (or slower), I'm not so sure I'd pick the 2400G for gaming alone.
The AM4 platform cost twice as much as the 1151 here in sweden. Kaby Lake and DDR3 may be almost dead, but what if you're on a tight budget?

AMD Ryzen 5 2400G + 2 x 4 GB DDR4 RAM + µATX board= 289 USD (plus taxes)

Intel Pentium G4560 + 2 x 4 GB DDR3 RAM + µATX board + GTX 1050 TI 4 GB = 318 USD (plus taxes)

There are a whole lot of people gaming on whatever they can get cheap. Even Intel iGPUs.

Fine on the GPU side as well. 2400G matches a GT 1030 which matches a GTX 560: http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GT-1030-vs-Nvidia-GTX-560/m283726vs3155
