They should have made a six core apu, that would make it worth it. As it stands, i dont see the value when u can get 2400g for cheap...

[@Deinorius]

@@Gl0ckb1te In 14/12 nm an APU with more than 4C doesn't make any economical sense. A CCX includes 4C. If you want more cores you need to go up to 8C in an monolithic chip/SoC. With graphics that's too much. In 7 nm we can talk again. With a smaller L3 cache 2 CCX (8C) need less then 70 (maybe 60) mm². But the 7 nm process needs to become cheaper. We'll see, if it's ready at the end of the year.

I'm new on this channel. can you please explain what you meant by emulation?

[@greenprotag]

Specifically videogame console emulation. This channel does showcase hardware reviews, but ETA primarily deals in hardware in relation to it's gaming potential. Although he has branched out a bit to cover media and productivity. You can play old PC and console games via the use of emulators. Dolphin for Gamecube, CEMU for Wii U, Redream for Dreamcast, etc. There are many emulators to choose from. ETA is awesome because he shows us what the hardware can do before we buy it.

[@SIPEROTH]

@@muhamadatarigsyah1001 Emulators are programs that allow you to use software of different devices on your system. So a PS1 emulator allows you to play the software of a PS1 game like Tekken 3 or Parasite Eve etc. So he loads emulator programs that simulate different consoles etc and loads their game software on that program and plays games that are not for PC threw his PC and measures how smooth they play and whether they have good performance since emulator programs need quite a lot more power than what that game you play threw emulator would have needed if it had a PC version.

For those saying these are not "true" 3000 series, yes they are. There were no 1000 series APUs and the 2000 ones that came out with the 2000 series Zen+ lineup were Zen-based not Zen+. The APUs are always one generation behind, that's how AMD can release them without cannibalizing their other products and at a low price.

[@Minecraftminer3000]

I wouldn't necessarily say that they are always a full generation behind. The 2200G and 2400G did contain some improvements from the rest of the Zen+ 2000 series CPUs when compared to Zen 1, although still at the 14nm node. I'd say that it's more like half a generation behind.

Great video. Three things come to mind: 1. The better stock cooler and die shrink of the 3400G probably lets the CPU and GPU clock higher for longer in its boost mode. 2. Are your 2400G benchmarks old, back from when you first reviewed it, or are they all new, running on the same software versions and drivers? 3. Given the range of improvements to average frames, did you happen to collect data on minimums (99th, etc.)?

Hi ETA Prime, I first want to say that I love your channel and I think you have the coolest voice ever. It's always a treat in my day to sit down and watch your latest episode. If there was a request I could make, it would be that whenever you run emulation tests (particularly when GameCube/Dolphin is involved), could you please add the Factor 5 Star Wars games to your tests? I'm of course referring to Rogue Squadron II & III. These games are notorious for being the most difficult to emulate due to Factor 5's extreme optimizations within their games' microcode. I have a Core i5 3570K (overclocked to 4.8 GHz) and with some tweaking I can get most stages of these games up to 60fps, but I'm curious to see how well these games perform on newer CPUs such as this Ryzen 3400G. Thank you so much and I look forward to your future videos! :-)

[@sageosaka]

Just a general request/recommendation... On msi afterburner it would be nice to also see the gpu% (if possible) so that we can see the ratio of how hard it's working compared to the CPU. Great video though!

[@fuxyews2177]

You should do an OC 2400 Vs this 3400 at stock. I'm coming with quite big cost differences but the FPS you're getting here are pretty minimal so probably wouldn't be worth the upgrade in most cases. Would be worth seeing if we could just save money and over clock the older cpus to match it.

Great video, it show also that a 2400g that can accommodate an Asrock 50€ mother board is quite a very good CPU for gaming or do small stuff on a budget. Also the actual default of the new series is the costly mother board compared to the ancient generation. A video on how to find a mother board that accommodate new CPU with older boards (A or B series) should be super.

From the BIOS version it's supposedly supported. I'd go for a bigger PSU though, the original PSU at 120W is rather low and very mediocre at efficiency.

[@Deinorius]

@@HelmutKohlrabi (Servus?) This won't be needed. The A300 is designed for the 2400G, so the 3400G should be fine. You can get this power consumption with the 2400G too. Just remember! He tested this on an mATX board, which consumes more power by itself.

[@HelmutKohlrabi]

@@Deinorius the PSU the A300 comes with is really bad, about 70% efficiency and poor internal components. I'd still replace it with some rebranded Delta Electronics, like the Asus ADP-150NB for safety reasons. My A300 setup was about 700 € which I prefer not losing to some cheap PSU. Some breathing room never hurts anyway.

[@Deinorius]

@@HelmutKohlrabi Well, this way it's better anyway. 700 €? How much RAM and SSDs are you using?! But the normal user it should be fine. Still, if you say it's such a cheap PSU I have to ask myself, if there could be an alternative in the same size or similar for the same price, or at least a bit higher.

[@juliashenandoah3965]

This is PERFECT, it plays all actual gen multiplattform console games but without their endless console FPS-optimizations, ugly lowest quality shadows and endless immersion-destroying popups, but with personalized highest PC quality graphics settings. And the price is awesome too! Saves me buying a graphics card for several months now untill Flight Sim 2020 releases. Absolute fantastic system, this APU makes it theoretical possible to build a 240€ PC (if buying a 100€ mainboard, 140€ cost the Ryzen APU, and if some RAM, the case with power supply and some harddrives etc. is already available from other older PCs) but with fullest gaming capability! Really great. The power consumption is absolutely stunning great, all consoles need 80 Watts at idling and ~400 Watts while gaming plus 160 Watts for the monitor (and that clearly shows on the power bill when a gaming system with 560 Watts power consumption is running about 4-6 hours every evening!). But these AMD APU only needs 45-65 Watt while gaming. Fantastic ultralow power consumption on Laptop and Notebook level. Absolute perfect.

3400G also supports higher memory clocks (up from 2660 to 3000), that is why it performs slightly better with identical Vega 11 iGPU. These 3000g series APUs now also come soldered like rest of the AMD lineup which offers better cooling.

Hey man, I'm a bit confused, looks like you installed the RAMs on wrong slots i.e. not in dual channel slots. In dual channel mode each RAM should only run half-speed but not in your case when I noticed in your task manager. A1 & B1 or 1st & 3rd slots are normally reserved for Single Channel of the same type . A2 & B2 or 2nd & 4th slots are typically reserved for Dual Channel of the same type.

Graphics card is must if you really want to enjoy a games in 2020

[@bitekr2045]

I sold 2400g and bought 3400g and i am happy. no regrets. the truth is that APUs need all the power they need because FPS hovers within 60FPS so that extra 10% - 15% extra boost is important. I really like AMD APUs. I play Borderlands 3 at 2560x1080 at low settings and 75% resolution scale and I get high 40FPS. Also i find that 3400g is more friendly for memory overclocking. I am running Corsair Vengeance 3200Mhz @ 3400Mhz 100% solid. I had issues oveclocking the same memory over 3200Mhz with 2400g. So right there I have another couple extra frames to play games.

ETA PRIME its been a long time. how bout a AMD R7 3700x for ps3 emulator?

[@AWSMcube]

a 3600 can probably handle ps3 emulations

[@AWSMcube]

@waffeltek I'm not sure what you're asking

[@alinepiroutek8932]

Excited to see emulation tests. Games like Daytona USA Arcade, Persona 5, Breath of the Wild, Ocarina of Time 3D.

[@GeorgeKizzle93]

Gonna build my first pc all amd starting with the 3400G and no graphics card. No budget for that for the time being. Just fast ram, fast storage and a quality processor. Should be fun.

[@povilasstaniulis9484]

Not bad for a budget SoC. The iGPU is actually capable of low to mid settting 720-1080p gaming. Still, this is essentially a better binned and factory overclocked 2400G. The 500W PSU is overkill for such build, unless you're planning to install a dedicated GPU.

[@alleyb62]

Will someone please do a serious overclock on the 3400G graphics.

[@gismo3564]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5SwYWB4mq9opNE This guy is the specialist, when it comes to the ryzen APUs.

[@quintinn100]

In the video for the 3200g you said that the 3400g is holding up really high temps even with an external coolant. I expected to see that tested here. Is there another video about it? Thank you!

[@daftpunk672]

Now to wait on the handheld latte panda system to get finished

[@eldontyrellcorp]

ETA PRIME would you recommend to upgrade from 2200G to the 3400G ? I would like to have seen the 2200G in the benchmark results at the end of your video.

[@enterthehyuver4747]

Depend on your setup and usage really, personally I don't think there is much difference between this gen and last gen, cpu wise the 2200/3200 and the 2400/3400 in term of daily use and gaming wise if you use external gpu, personally, unless I am building something that doesn't allow me use gpu like the asrock mini pc case I would choose the ryzen 3 over ryzen 5

[@htg97]

better get for that money at least GTX 970. worth every cent

[@hk021083]

I don't think so , wait for next gen apu

[@Shane-Singleton]

With the new Radeon GPU's that just came out forcing Nvidia to actually compete aggressively with their prices it looks like it may be actually time to think about building a new machine in a few months. I've really liked what i've seen with the 2070 Super. Although the Radeon card offers slightly better performance for the price I think I still want the RTX features. My old build developed some instability so I slid my trusty GTX 970 into an HP Z400 hex core Xeon workstation that I scored from work to use as a gaming machine till some of the next generation hardware hits shelves. It's soldiered along great. I'm glad I got my 970 when I did because the crypto miners really screwed the gaming community visa vis GPU demands.

[@TyghtWayzTv]

Please put this chip in your ASRock A300 Deskmini and do a review on it ..... Review the stock cooler and let us know if it can fit in the desk mini ... And bios flash if need be to support this chip n the deskmini !et us know if the deskmini support this chip... I'm looking forward to getting this setup

[@jonathanmarshall3974]

The die is the same size. They used the space savings as 'dark silicon' to improve the voltage characteristics and clocks.

[@anonymousanonymous_000]

Can't wait for the emulation testing! Love your content :)

[@murdock94]

On Newegg right now the 3400G is going for $145 while the 2400G is $130. It'd be worth it to get the 3400G for that $15 price difference. I'm seeing 2400Gs on eBay for under $60, so I'm looking at the 2400G as the go to if I can get one off eBay for under $60.

[@merkin3k]

mmmm King Taco (Long Beach GP track)...I go see that race every year 👍

[@arthursanta1986]

Little disappointed too. Hoped for the real 3000 apu series...

[@Deinorius]

The real Zen 2 APU will be likely called Ryzen 4000G and arrive at the end of this year, more likely before Zen 3 comes out.

[@Gl0ckb1te]

They really should have made this at least a six core if they were going to stay on 12nm... I feel theres no reason to buy this over a much cheaper 2400g for only 5 frames lost on most games

[@MacikaG]

I'm waiting patiently for 4400G with Zen2 cores and Navi graphics. (I got r5-1600 and gt1030 now)

[@SIPEROTH]

After seeing the difference between 3200G and 2200G am actually not disappointed because this seems to have bigger difference with 2400G than what 3200G had compared to 2200G

[@speedphlux]

Not sure if your point of view was entirely fair towards the 3400G. I'm quite positive that the 12nm process has a certain maturity over the 14nm node. To add to that - better RAM support. Not everyone using a Ryzen APU has a kit of 2x8 GB 3200MHz CL14 for optimal "scores" in those benchmarks. I'd say it's a decent upgrade over the 2400G, but not as good of upgrade, as a dedicated graphics card. I've built a 2400G for myself last winter, w/o any GPU, and I'm extremely happy in terms of price and performance. But given that an RX580 can be found for as little as the 20$ over the 3400G price right now in my market, I'd rather not upgrade the CPU. Had the prices stayed as high as 2017 "farmers craze", I'd hop on the 12nm train straight away ;)

[@subhasishadhikary]

I'm currently using this ryzen 5 3400g. Performance is mind-boggling.

[@maharshisanandyadav]

I'm planning to buy this What's your suggestion ????

[@subhasishadhikary]

@@maharshisanandyadav go with asus PRIME B450M-K mother board, 8 gb cosair vengeance ram, cosair 450/500watt smps

[@batmangovno]

Guys, a reminder: 3400G is Zen+ based, not Zen 2. I feel like it coming out so close to the first Zen 2 CPU batch it might confuse people.
