AMD Ryzen 5 3400G and Ryzen 3 3200G APU Specifications Detailed – 12nm Zen+ Based 3200G Delidded and Destroyed By Leaker, Features Soldered IHS
AMD Ryzen 5 3400G and Ryzen 3 3200G Desktop APU Specifications Leaked – 12nm Zen+ Picasso Lineup For AM4, Great CPU Overclocking Potential
In the last post, we made it clear that the Ryzen 3000 CPUs and Ryzen 3000 APUs are two different things. The Ryzen 3000 CPUs will be based on the new 7nm Zen 2 architecture while the APUs will be based on the existing 12nm Zen+ architecture
According to the leaker, the Ryzen 3 3200G can be overclocked to 4.3 GHz with 1.38V which is impressive considering its predecessor, the Ryzen 3 2200G, which could only manage 4.0 GHz with the same voltage. The Ryzen 5 3400G, on the other hand, can push clocks of up to 4.25 GHz with a voltage bump of 1.38V while the Ryzen 5 2400G could only manage 3.925 GHz with the same voltage. The overclock was applied across all cores.
So far, virtually all AMD Ryzens feature being built for overclocking (solder under the cover for excellent heat transfer and unlocked cores). Not all Intel are overclockable.
The OC they got squares with my Ryzen 5 2400G experience. I got 4.0GHz on all 4 cores at 1.35 volts (same on my 1800X and 1600X machines).
As noted, these 3200G and 3400G are 12nm (not 7nm). Their OC capability gives credibility to the rumor that the high end 7nm Ryzen "gaming CPU" will have a base frequency in the mid-4GHz range and boost to over 5GHz on 16cores/32threads. If so, I'm buying one.
