both zen and vega at this point are

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:10,320
pretty old news by computer industry standards but there are a couple of

3
00:00:07,759 --> 00:00:15,679
things that make this combination product

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:18,240
more interesting than you might expect

5
00:00:15,679 --> 00:00:24,080
number one is the incredible value proposition for budget gaming and number

6
00:00:21,279 --> 00:00:31,199
two is the unexpectedly high performance of these entry-level

7
00:00:27,279 --> 00:00:32,640
cpus once you add a discreet graphics

00:00:31,199 --> 00:00:36,320

12
00:00:54,719 --> 00:01:02,800
let's begin by jumping right into gaming performance on ryzen g's integrated

13
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:05,840
graphics where unsurprisingly its vega

14
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:08,799
GPU stomped all over Intel's best

15
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:11,360
efforts to build a competitive on-chip graphics processor

16
00:01:10,479 --> 00:01:16,880
then fell short of even a gtx 1050 ti putting

17
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:23,439
it pretty far down the pecking order compared to discrete graphics cards so

18
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:25,520
we tested at 1080p medium details but

19
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:30,479
based on our results it's more likely that you would opt for 720p high or

20
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:34,720
1080p low though to be clear we are not

21
00:01:33,119 --> 00:01:40,799
complaining about this budget gamers would have given their

22
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:44,400
left nut for 720p high 12 years ago when

23
00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:45,600
AMD first began work on the combination

24
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:50,720
CPU GPU paradigm

25
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:55,759
moving on to productivity we get very similar results to the same clocked

26
00:01:53,520 --> 00:02:00,799
older generation ryzen chips with the new g series actually pulling off some

27
00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:05,280
better results in tests like multi-threaded cinebench and v-rays CPU

28
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,280
benchmark and then leaving Intel's onboard

29
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:14,000
graphics standing on the starting line in the GPU version

30
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:18,720
now we also saw similar or better scores compared to old verizon in ASUS real

31
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:24,000
bench ignoring the opencl result since they obviously favor discrete graphics

32
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:26,640
cards and blender CPU test continues the

33
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:32,640
trend with team blue getting smashed and the GPU test once again showing us that

34
00:02:28,959 --> 00:02:34,720
8 and 12 cus respectively aren't ideal

35
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:38,720
for heavy lifting so what have we got here then

36
00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:45,599
we've got a couple of really nice upgrades the 2200g obsoletes basically

37
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:47,680
the entire existing ryzen 3 lineup and

38
00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:52,160
remember you can just plunk this into any existing ryzen compatible

39
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:58,239
motherboard with at most a BIOS update and the 2400g ends up being a toss-up

40
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:04,000
with the more expensive 1600x so what you get is onboard graphics and

41
00:03:01,519 --> 00:03:09,599
in some cases better performance due to the four plus zero ccx design and second

42
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:13,840
generation precision boost but what you give up is some level three cache and a

43
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:18,800
couple of cores for heavy multi-threaded workloads

44
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:21,599
now these are budget product so AMD

45
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:25,360
costed down the ihs to a traditional thermal pace this time around though

46
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:28,480
that shouldn't be a big deal at this package power and ryzen runs pretty cool

47
00:03:27,519 --> 00:03:33,599
anyway and while we've never had great results

48
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:38,959
with ryzen overclocking today's chips were particularly unimpressive both of

49
00:03:36,239 --> 00:03:44,000
them managed only 3.85 gigahertz on all cores which is more than the precision

50
00:03:41,519 --> 00:03:50,879
boost frequency of the 2200g but actually less than the 2400 g to be

51
00:03:48,239 --> 00:03:56,560
clear that's on all cores so it's still a net gain for some workloads and the

52
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:58,239
2400g managed it at a lower voltage

53
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:02,959
but we just need to make sure that you're going into your purchase here

54
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:05,760
with realistic expectations for a single

55
00:04:02,959 --> 00:04:09,680
benjamin and change thermals were a little higher than usual

56
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:14,319
for ryzen thanks to the higher default voltages and probably the lesser thermal

57
00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:19,040
compound but power consumption was basically spot on only a few watts

58
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:24,800
different than the same clocked og ryzen cpus our Intel chips that should be

59
00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:28,000
noted managed lower idle draw

60
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:30,800
alright so let's talk upgrade path now a

61
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:35,040
lot of people go out and buy a CPU like this with integrated graphics with the

62
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:41,360
intention of only using those temporarily so what is gaming like once

63
00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:42,400
you throw in a dedicated graphics card

64
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:49,600
actually fine so we ran our ryzen cpus with a 1050 ti

65
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:55,759
in the earlier testing and then re-ran our g series with it as well and we got

66
00:04:52,479 --> 00:04:58,479
similar if slightly lower results across

67
00:04:55,759 --> 00:05:04,400
the board so it looks then like AMD's decision to split the pci express lanes

68
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:10,400
between the integrated vega core and the PCIe 16x slot giving only eight lanes

69
00:05:07,919 --> 00:05:12,800
for each didn't actually hurt them too badly

70
00:05:11,919 --> 00:05:22,000
so at 99 and 169 respectively the ryzen 3 2200g

71
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:24,800
and ryzen 5 2400g are both better values

72
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:29,840
than their predecessors and integrated vega graphics with some help from native

73
00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:35,520
support for higher speed 2933 dual channel ddr4 memory gives them much

74
00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:39,840
better performance and maybe even more importantly

75
00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:43,280
compatibility in GPU intensive tasks

76
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:47,039
than anything that Intel can muster

77
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:49,120
so Intel who opted not to seed us the

78
00:05:47,039 --> 00:05:52,880
price competitive processors saying we'd have to go buy them if we wanted to

79
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:58,080
compare g i wonder why holds the performance crown for CPU only

80
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:03,520
tasks but as for living room pc enthusiasts or

81
00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:07,680
budget esports gamers y'all might have just found your next

82
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:12,160
