Athlon 200GE vs. Pentium G5400 vs. Ryzen 3 2200G: We imagine almost everyone reading this will be worlds better off spending $40 more to get the Ryzen 3 2200G, it’s just so much more capable there’s no reason to even consider the 200GE.

I really like what the Ryzen 3 2200G has to offer budget gamers. This APU, motherboard and memory combo for well under $300 simply can't be beat and for that reason, it's likely going to be a hot item for gamers with limited funds.

Battlefield V is playable on quad-cores but you can expect frequent frame dips, resulting in less consistent frame rates. For the most part, we've found that the older Core i5-7600K has been hanging in there pretty well with AAA titles released in...

That makes the four-core, four-thread Ryzen 3 2200G particularly appealing for budget gaming builders and upgraders. The $99 chip delivers solid 720p performance thanks to its Vega on-chip graphics, decent CPU muscle for mainstream tasks, and can be dropped into an existing inexpensive 300-series motherboard (after a requisite BIOS update), to form the basis of a surprisingly capable low-cost PC. It’s also unlocked, so with proper cooling you can tune the graphics or the CPU to best suit your needs.

AMD certainly had great last year – maybe even their best in a decade. First they captured the hearts and minds of the mainstream buying public with their eight-core / sixteen thread Ryzen 7 and six-core / twelve thread Ryzen 5 series of CPUs. Then they...

The 2200G falls behind in heavily multithreaded workloads, but its gaming and lightly threaded performance is astounding for the price.

The Ryzen 5 2400G and the Ryzen 3 2200G are more relevant to budget-minded buyers, and offer an extremely tempting balance of CPU and GPU capabilities.

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!

The Ryzen 3 2200G is the new darling of anyone looking to build a modest gaming PC or HTPC on a tight budget. It can do everything you need, provided your demands aren't too high.

The Raven Ridge series redefines our expectations for integrated graphics. The Ryzen 3 2200G a great deal for budget gaming rig builders and purchasing a single chip for both graphics and processing 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.
