AMD Ryzen 5 2400G

Performance-wise the 2400G and 2200G are impressive. Both the CPU and GPU performance are exceptional at their respective price points. Additionally, the chips can be paired with existing B350 and X370 motherboards and they are excellent when it comes to performance-per-watt, particularly in 3D workloads.

AMD's new Ryzen 3 2200G and Ryzen 5 2400G chips are impressive. They feature decently powerful CPUs, and a Vega graphics core allowing for up to 1080p medium settings gaming, and more! Want one? 2400G: 2200G: Systems:...

The Ryzen 5 2400G redefines our expectations for integrated graphics. It represents a great deal for budget gaming rig builders, and the ability to purchase a single chip without the added expense of a GPU adds to the value. You can tune the CPU, memory, and Vega graphics to boost performance, and compatibility with the existing 300-series motherboard ecosystem is a plus, but you’ll need to make sure the BIOS is compatible.

The Ryzen 5 2400G is currently the fastest integrated graphics solution for a reasonable price, and it works great as an HTPC, or for modest gaming requirements.

Sin lugar a dudas, ya queda menos para ver una buena APU capaz de correr juegos en Full HD sin despeinarse. Por ahora nos gusta lo que vemos, pero estaremos más entusiasmados cuando probemos ese gran procesador con una gran tarjeta gráfica integrada.

Con los resultados obtenidos sin duda, los Ryzen 5 2400G y Ryzen 3 2200G son ejemplos reales de la esencia que AMD ha logrado presentar en el mercado de los procesadores, el precio-rendimiento de estos procesadores son una opción muy competitiva frente a plataformas que en Intel debes considerar tanto el procesador como una tarjeta de video dedicada (alrededor de una GT1030).

Looking at the graphics of the Ryzen 5 2400G compared to an add-in card like the GT 1030 from NVIDIA, AMD pulls off some impressive performance. The Ryzen APU is able to deliver true discrete-level graphics performance in a single socket and package. This will put AMD at the head of the pack when it comes to PC builders looking for a small form factor, mainstream gaming solution without the need for expensive or power hungry add-in cards.
