AMD Ryzen 5 2400G Smokes Core i5-8400 at iGPU Performance

according to AIDA64 , an AMD FX8350 with DDR3 1886 ~ 26GB , my Ryzen 1600x at 3950/DDR4 2933 16-18-18-38-56 gets ~45gb.Now Go figure.great for GPU.

These might launch at exactly the right time. Slightly better than an RX 550, and it comes with a CPU (Remember RX 550's are almost $150 now).

AMD should make a 1536-SP APU as well so people can actually build gaming PC's in 2018

Hum, wonder if jumping on a 1500X and RX550 at end of Nov-Dec for the home build was the strategy versus holding out for these Raven Ridge? At the time AMD seemed fairly mum on desktop APU's and really thought end Q1-Q2. Now I could sell the CPU I got it for $90 (open a Amazon CC and got $70 off) and sell my Gigabyte 550 ($75 -AR) and just get this? Or I thought there's even 2600 APU above even this?

Well duh! who honestly didnt see that one coming?

Right? This should be surprising to absolutely no one.

If the iGPU were an IRIS, I'd wager the list would be extensive because it would put up a decent fight. But hey, management choices, I guess

My experience with Iris Pro is that it's not more than twice as fast as a normal Intel iGPU. Better? Yes. Enough to close the gap if these benchmark numbers are legit? No.

It will be to many, if we assume that NOT all members of TPU know about which processor is faster and where. For many Intel processors are faster, the end. Which translates faster in everything. So, it is necessary to point to the obvious now and then, especially when that obvious goes against to what many might believe.

If only it had come out sooner.. as i5 was more popular than i7 with gaming builds for awhile there.

That would be an assumption. That rule might apply to the general public, but not to people who frequent TPU.

Not true and not true.
But I digress..

Not everyone is frequent at TPU and even if they are, not all know everything. For example, some people might be more interested in software/operating systems/whatever and rely on others here for their hardware choices. I have seen many cases in forums with people that work hard or deal mostly with software or prefer to pass their free time with their family instead of reading hardware news, login in and saying "I haven't followed hardware for X years, can you help me build a new system?". Another example. I am frequent here. Ask me about laptops. Most answers I will give, will be just assumptions based mostly on desktop experience.

Not true and not true.

If it was No and No, AMD will be apologizing those last months for not being able to cover the demand for Ryzen processors.
