Ryzen and Vega combined: AMD's Ryzen 5 2400G and Ryzen 3 2200G in review

With Ryzen 5 2400G and Ryzen 3 2200G, AMD is sending two new APUs into the entry-level and mid-range segments that combine both Zen and Vega genes. This could make this combination a useful alternative to ... Zen becomes Ryzen But let's go back to our little introductory course, which we had already started on the first page. It all started, of course, with the core as such. After all, five years ago, AMD started the development... Infinity Fabric and the bridge between all parts AMD's "Infinity Fabric" is a flexible and coherent interface/bus system that enables AMD to quickly and efficiently integrate a sophisticated IP portfolio into a coherent die. All... Foreword to benchmarks and overclocking We focus on the best possible playability and less on brilliant playback quality. This almost always requires the selection of the lowest details and the restriction of the screen resolution... In the lower 720p resolution, we first run all variants to get a direct comparison. The overclocked APUs are able to dominate the entire field, which is quite astonishing. The overclocking potential is really ... In the AI test both APUs beat each other really bravely and against the Ryzen 5 2400G you have to offer at least one expensive Core i5-8400 in order to keep up. At least in this CPU test it looks very good for both APUs,... Even though the GT 1030 is well ahead at 720p with a good CPU as a substructure - the Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 3 APUs offer a good overall package at a fair price and offer in this low resolution surprisingly also the ... Even if the GT 1030 is clearly ahead in the 720p resolution again - the Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 3 APUs don't show bad performance and playable is what they offer, then always. Backlog yes, but it is always playable. The old AMD APU... The Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 3 APUs again show that 720p can be very playable with APUs. With the Ryzen 5 2400G, the difference between overclocked and not overclocked is not even too big and Nvidia's GT 1030 dan... The overclocked Ryzen 5 2400G becomes a smooth cleaner, whereby everything down to the Ryzen 3 2200G remains acceptable. However, the old AMD APU A10-9700 is just as overwhelmed as Intel's iGP.

AMD now has a good grip on RAM stability and even the small Vega as a graphical tailpipe does not make a bad...

Foreword to benchmarks and overclocking

We focus on the best possible playability and less on brilliant playback quality. This almost always requires the selection of the lowest details and the limitation of the screen resolution. Therefore, we first use a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels and determine which settings are really (still) running optimally. For the better full HD resolution with 1920 x 1080 pixels, there are still six combinations or APUs, which also means that we do without the non-overclocked Ryzen 3 2200G. AMD explicitly doesn't apply for Full HD, and if you're honest, it's not enough.

However, we also overclocked both APUs, with the margin of manoeuvre, especially with the Ryzen 5 2400G, enormous. The CPU part ran at 4.0 GHz and the GPU at 1555 MHz, while the smaller Ryzen 3 2200G was still stable with 3.9 GHz for the CPU and 1400 MHz for the GPU. More was more in places, but with sporadic crashes. This means that the CPU part is roughly at the level that the normal Ryzen CPUs achieve stable.

Three small drops of wormwood, however, cloud the euphoria a little, because our Ryzen 5 1400 could not be moved to a stable operation in this setup, especially since the motherboard used also shortly from the end of the second tests suddenly refused the service completely two tests because AMD only recently replaced BIOS and drivers again shortly from the weekend and we had a full two days left to repeat the benchmarks completely. In addition, we were unable to test with a Radeon RX 550 because the card we ordered never arrived, despite paid overnight delivery, so we had to use the GeForce GTX 1030.

The very positive image of the (overclocked) APUs continues with the physics benchmark of the Fire Strike, whereby the Ryzen 5 2400G in particular can very well stage itself.
