AMD Athlon 200GE 3.2 GHz

[Mistral]

Bloody slow, but dat performance per $...

 

[Salty_sandwich]

This chip could've killed everything under $100 if it was unlocked. But I guess AMD needs to sell 2200g & 2400g as well.

Thing is, the people who are looking at this type of CPU for the system are not going to be the type who are into overclocking , so its a feature that's not really needed for basic everyday computer tasks, which clearly this CPU is aimed at.

There are plenty of other cheap CPU choices to suit an overclockers needs, im guessing people who are really into overclocking their systems are more likely to buy a better CPU in the first place.

so for general computer need its a cheap all in one SoC

For example i could overclock the cpu i have using AMD overdrive but i don't need to, it still does what i need it to do, even today, and considering most people slag off an APU and would never recommend one to their gaming friends, its still a good little APU for what I need, and probs will be for quite some time yet.

not everyone needs the fastest, best PC in the world, and not everyone is into overclocking, ask ya granny when was the last time she benchmarked her PC and what the score was? and would she even give a sh!t ?
Convince her it will improve her chances at online bingo then you might get her attention.

It would be interesting to read How you younger lot are still bitching,braging best benchmarks and overclocking score when your in your 70's lol

will you even be overcolcking? is the question.

well I can tell ya now, you wont give a monkeys about any of it.

Tust Me.

The higher power draw compared to the non-APU Ryzens is because of the integrated graphics

I know that, but it's still higher than the Intel chips with iGPUs.

 

[jabbadap]

How is video codecs support on these? I know intel igpus are good on those but how is vega?

I need to replace my Core 2 Duo X6800 along with nFORCE 570 SLIT-A motherboard which is still an excellent gaming machine when paired with GTX 1050 Ti. This seems like a good cheap alternative. Memory prices are the main reason I have not upgraded yet.

Is that the same GPU in the Hades' NUCs?

Sorry if this was said somewhere already.

It's not. Hades Canyon has 1536 shaders, this one has 192

lol.. I should have seen that. Big difference.

2 cores in 2k19 LUL

 

[agello24]

was thinking about buying one for my daughters athlon 5350 replacement. then i realized i can use my ryzen 5 1600. clock it down to 3.3ghz and turn off 4 cores. that will give me the 35 watts im looking for.

2 cores in 2k19 LUL

4 threads for 60USD. I'm still using an i5 4570T in my HTPC and it's more than enough for this task, but back in a day it was much more expensive. Also, it's 2K18 FYI.

 

[GoldenX]

2 cores in 2k19 LUL

Like any other Core based Pentium and Celeron.

 

[carex]

$30 is enough for the kind of perf it gives...especially in single thread

 

[mcraygsx]

Kinda feels sad having my image of AMD's Athlon diluted by such a low tier part.

Same can be said for Intel's Pentium Brand.

 

[GoldenX]

Yeah, the "Pentium Gold" brand is OK, it's just a cut down 2-cores 4-threads Core without AVX. But the "Pentium Silver", the quad core Atom... That's not nice.
Ah, case in point, this Athlon has AVX and AVX2, something no Pentium can say.

 

[Ruru]

2 cores in 2k19 LUL

4 threads like Pentiums, and more features.

 

[TheGuruStud]

The AM1 Athlons were worse, like the Atom Pentiums.

But they used almost no power when undervolted. These puppies are the same way. Rocking an OCed sempron in my NAS. Idk why, even 1.4 ghz is multiple times too fast.

A quad Sempron or a dual one?

Quad

 

[GoldenX]

Quad

Never ever try the dual one.

 

[TheGuruStud]

Never ever try the dual one.

I had a FM2 dual core and it was plenty good, but ate power....wait, nvm, wad quad and I disabled two cores lol.

 

[StrayKAT]

AMD should make little kits for something like this (NUC like or even Pi like).

Funnily tho, even the Pi (3) has 4 cores.

 

[bogda]

Unless one is absolutely desperate for cache, it is definitely worth spending 45$ more and buying proper Ryzen 3 2200G. If you look at the total system price, you pay 10-15% more for the system but get 33% more performance and 100% improvement in gaming which makes gaming at 720p and sometimes 900p viable.

 

[diatribe]

Too bad it's locked. And it's a dual-core...



Highly doubt that, I never saw even the G4560 at MSRP.

I bought one March 1st for $61.99 from Newegg.

 

[Ruru]

My G4560 was 73eur almost immediately when it was released.
