00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:05.200
both zen and vega at this point are

00:00:03.360 --> 00:00:10.320
pretty old news by computer industry standards but there are a couple of

00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:15.679
things that make this combination product

00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:18.240
more interesting than you might expect

00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:24.080
number one is the incredible value proposition for budget gaming and number

00:00:21.279 --> 00:00:31.199
two is the unexpectedly high performance of these entry-level

00:00:27.279 --> 00:00:32.640
cpus once you add a discreet graphics

00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:36.320

00:00:54.719 --> 00:01:02.800
let's begin by jumping right into gaming performance on ryzen g's integrated

00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:05.840
graphics where unsurprisingly its vega

00:01:02.800 --> 00:01:08.799
GPU stomped all over Intel's best

00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:11.360
efforts to build a competitive on-chip graphics processor

00:01:10.479 --> 00:01:16.880
then fell short of even a gtx 1050 ti putting

00:01:14.720 --> 00:01:23.439
it pretty far down the pecking order compared to discrete graphics cards so

00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:25.520
we tested at 1080p medium details but

00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:30.479
based on our results it's more likely that you would opt for 720p high or

00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:34.720
1080p low though to be clear we are not

00:01:33.119 --> 00:01:40.799
complaining about this budget gamers would have given their

00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:44.400
left nut for 720p high 12 years ago when

00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:45.600
AMD first began work on the combination

00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:50.720
CPU GPU paradigm

00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:55.759
moving on to productivity we get very similar results to the same clocked

00:01:53.520 --> 00:02:00.799
older generation ryzen chips with the new g series actually pulling off some

00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:05.280
better results in tests like multi-threaded cinebench and v-rays CPU

00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:09.280
benchmark and then leaving Intel's onboard

00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:14.000
graphics standing on the starting line in the GPU version

00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:18.720
now we also saw similar or better scores compared to old verizon in ASUS real

00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:24.000
bench ignoring the opencl result since they obviously favor discrete graphics

00:02:20.720 --> 00:02:26.640
cards and blender CPU test continues the

00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:32.640
trend with team blue getting smashed and the GPU test once again showing us that

00:02:28.959 --> 00:02:34.720
8 and 12 cus respectively aren't ideal

00:02:32.640 --> 00:02:38.720
for heavy lifting so what have we got here then

00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:45.599
we've got a couple of really nice upgrades the 2200g obsoletes basically

00:02:42.480 --> 00:02:47.680
the entire existing ryzen 3 lineup and

00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:52.160
remember you can just plunk this into any existing ryzen compatible

00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:58.239
motherboard with at most a BIOS update and the 2400g ends up being a toss-up

00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:04.000
with the more expensive 1600x so what you get is onboard graphics and

00:03:01.519 --> 00:03:09.599
in some cases better performance due to the four plus zero ccx design and second

00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:13.840
generation precision boost but what you give up is some level three cache and a

00:03:11.760 --> 00:03:18.800
couple of cores for heavy multi-threaded workloads

00:03:15.040 --> 00:03:21.599
now these are budget product so AMD

00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:25.360
costed down the ihs to a traditional thermal pace this time around though

00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:28.480
that shouldn't be a big deal at this package power and ryzen runs pretty cool

00:03:27.519 --> 00:03:33.599
anyway and while we've never had great results

00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:38.959
with ryzen overclocking today's chips were particularly unimpressive both of

00:03:36.239 --> 00:03:44.000
them managed only 3.85 gigahertz on all cores which is more than the precision

00:03:41.519 --> 00:03:50.879
boost frequency of the 2200g but actually less than the 2400 g to be

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

00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:58.239
2400g managed it at a lower voltage

00:03:56.560 --> 00:04:02.959
but we just need to make sure that you're going into your purchase here

00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:05.760
with realistic expectations for a single

00:04:02.959 --> 00:04:09.680
benjamin and change thermals were a little higher than usual

00:04:07.920 --> 00:04:14.319
for ryzen thanks to the higher default voltages and probably the lesser thermal

00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:19.040
compound but power consumption was basically spot on only a few watts

00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:24.800
different than the same clocked og ryzen cpus our Intel chips that should be

00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:28.000
noted managed lower idle draw

00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:30.800
alright so let's talk upgrade path now a

00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:35.040
lot of people go out and buy a CPU like this with integrated graphics with the

00:04:32.960 --> 00:04:41.360
intention of only using those temporarily so what is gaming like once

00:04:37.840 --> 00:04:42.400
you throw in a dedicated graphics card

00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:49.600
actually fine so we ran our ryzen cpus with a 1050 ti

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

00:04:52.479 --> 00:04:58.479
similar if slightly lower results across

00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:04.400
the board so it looks then like AMD's decision to split the pci express lanes

00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:10.400
between the integrated vega core and the PCIe 16x slot giving only eight lanes

00:05:07.919 --> 00:05:12.800
for each didn't actually hurt them too badly

00:05:11.919 --> 00:05:22.000
so at 99 and 169 respectively the ryzen 3 2200g

00:05:18.320 --> 00:05:24.800
and ryzen 5 2400g are both better values

00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:29.840
than their predecessors and integrated vega graphics with some help from native

00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:35.520
support for higher speed 2933 dual channel ddr4 memory gives them much

00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:39.840
better performance and maybe even more importantly

00:05:36.840 --> 00:05:43.280
compatibility in GPU intensive tasks

00:05:39.840 --> 00:05:47.039
than anything that Intel can muster

00:05:43.280 --> 00:05:49.120
so Intel who opted not to seed us the

00:05:47.039 --> 00:05:52.880
price competitive processors saying we'd have to go buy them if we wanted to

00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:58.080
compare g i wonder why holds the performance crown for CPU only

00:05:56.320 --> 00:06:03.520
tasks but as for living room pc enthusiasts or

00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:07.680
budget esports gamers y'all might have just found your next

00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:12.160
