AMD unveils more Ryzen with Radeon Vega APU details
AMD has released full specifications for its upcoming Ryzen desktop CPUs with Radeon Vega Graphics, or simply upcoming Ryzen 3 2200G and Ryzen 5 2400G APUs that will pack Radeon Vega 8 and Radeon Vega 11 GPUs..
The US $99.99 priced Ryzen 3 2200G will pack a quad-core CPU part without SMT (four-threads), clocked at 3.5GHz base and 3.7GHz Turbo clocks, and feature the Radeon Vega 8 IGP (8 CUs) with 512 Stream Processors and a 1100MHz GPU clock.
The US $169.99 priced Ryzen 5 2400G is a bit more interesting as while it is also a quad-core CPU it comes with enabled SMT for eight-threads, works at 3.6GHz base and 3.9GHz Turbo clocks and features Radeon Vega 11 GPU (11 CUs) with 704 Stream Processors and a GPU clock of 1250MHz.
AMD targets both Intel chips as well as systems that come with entry-level discrete graphics cards, suggesting that the Ryzen 5 2400G is both faster and cheaper at the same time.
Looking at the price and the specifications -- my RX550 with separate CPU for my HTPC is out classed. In the future, I'll be using AMD APUs for HTPC and other non-high-end-gaming PCs.
Moderate graphics stress games (or high stress games with medium settings) can be played on the Ryzen 5 2400G (on paper, it looks faster than my RX550 performance).
