I picked up a 5600G at MicroCenter few weeks ago for $119 a secondary computer. The graphics are only marginally better, but the CPU side is a massive upgrade. Will be interesting to see Zen4 APUs, since they will benefit greatly from moving to DDR5.

[@builder396]

Just as an FYI, I have already seen a test with an Intel iGPU on DDR5 RAM and the performance difference was exactly zero to DDR4. This is obviously down to Intel iGPUs still being glorified video rendering accelerators that cant even use the memory bandwidth they may or may not have access to, but it is still funny that Intel threw together an entire website advertising their chips for gaming down to even suggesting graphics settings for optimum framerates in even relatively modern titles. Even Battlefield 4, which isnt THAT new anymore needs 768p resolution on lowest settings according to them, so they do KNOW on some level, but marketing just keeps advertising their delusions about iGPU performance. I know Vega isnt near as bad in that regard and does benefit from OCed DDR4 RAM but unless there is a significant upgrade to architecture to RDNA2 or something like that I dont see it being able to benefit much from the memory bandwidth either as even OCing DDR4 RAM leads to diminishing returns on Vega chips.

[@couriersix2443]

A couple years ago my buddy had an FX-8350 and the mobo died on him. But he was really struggling with funds and couldn't get a replacement or upgrade, so my cousin and I helped him get set up with a decent AM4 board and the 3200G + 16gb ram @ 3200Mhz. He paired it with his previous GPU, which was a 1070, so I can't really speak for the integrated Vega 8 performance. But from a pure CPU standpoint, those 4 Zen+ cores perform pretty well, even with no SMT. I set up a 4.1Ghz all-core OC for him, and the single core performance was basically the same as the R5 2600 I had at the time. Since he primarily played at 1080p I'm sure the 1070 was still being held back a bit, but nowhere near as much as with the old FX CPU. Unfortunately he basically spat in our faces and sold the PC shortly after. Ended up getting an HP laptop with the i5-10300h and 1650 via financing (he's an idiot). While that mobile i5 may have better IPC + more threads (even at a lower TDP), the mobile 1650 is a joke compared to a desktop 1070. And newer laptops like that lack almost any interchangeable parts, aside from ram and storage. What a shame.

I was honestly upset when we went from nice linear progrssion of Zen1 plus Vega 11 on 14nm, to Zen+ plus VEga 11 on 12nm, but then when we went to 7nm Zen2 we only got vega 8, at least it was VEGA2 based more on the RADEON VII than Vega64 The 4700G is 50mm² smaller than the 2400G despite having 8 cores, easily enough space for at least Vega 12, but what i would have loved is 6 cores, and Vega 14 would have been a killer APU for work and play

I just loved my 2400G in my htpc. Only thing I did was I delidded it to replace the poor thermal paste with a better one which helped a lot.

[@pickadifferenthandle]

Literally upgraded from the 2400g to the 5600x a few days ago. Can confirm it is worth the upgrade lmao.

[@RandomGaminginHD]

Very nice!

[@Brealiq]

I'm still using this CPU with my Benchtable for testing GPUs. Got it 3,5 years back used for 85€. Works fine with my 25€ outlet prime b350-plus mainboard ^^

[@Dapplication]

Just built 3 2200g builds for an orphanage. 3 monitors+3 PC's cost like 500 bucks. It's incredibly good for it's price

[@morzemus1805]

Bought a OEM machine with a 4600G a year ago. Not particularly great value, but GPU prices were still trough the roof back then, I had never built a machine myself and I wanted/needed a machine right then. Have been pretty happy with it overall, even with all the usual OEM caveats like insufficient RAM and middling PSU. Has been an okay introduction to desktops after so long and been fine with light gaming. 5600G would obviously be a better processor, but 4600G is still nice for my purposes.

[@Nintenboy01]

The Vega graphics in this and the 2200G performs very similar to the original Xbox One/One S in my experience. They can also do Sunset Overdrive at 900p 30FPS

[@marcelmedema001]

Bought a 2200g today for 33 euro's for a secondary PC. Wondering how it holds up now

[@ElderlyAnteater]

hey, I would probably advise testing 1280x960 in CS:GO on cheaper hardware like this. I believe it's the most popular resolution used ("stretched res") and could show whether the APU is useful for the purpose of CSGO (+ Valorant) alone, or whether the CPU power would be enough to complement a drop-in GPU in the future. Local botmatches are also a poor representation of performance given they're disproportionately CPU-heavy, but online deathmatches like you use now are probably close enough to regular games. Love your videos by the way, have been subscribed for a long time :)

[@AeiKei]

Used this cpu to make a SFF pc for my mom in 2019, the cpu is powerful enough to do most daily tasks. I will consider a 5700g in future

[@TheDoorsHK21]

I have the Ryzen 7 2700U in my notebook which is essentially the 2400G with a few less graphics cores and lower clock speed, but it still surprises me with how well it plays newer games.

[@firisrozley5768]

2200G & 2400G were great iGPUs back in their days but given that they are from the first gen Zen architecture, which does not support Windows 11 officially (but 4C/4T Ryzen 3 2300X could due to Zen+), those chipsets nowadays are best left for office productivity & some light gaming sessions. Go with 5600G & 5700G chipsets if you are into iGPU-only gaming PCs.

[@jyllianrainbow7371]

Windows 11 sucks though.

[@Bruno_Laion]

Not run windows 11 it's actually a feature

[@chriswright8074]

6800m

[@Glyph69]

actually when it comes to gaming(IGPU) 5600g and 5700g has practically the same performance only difference would be of 4 to 6 fps at most

[@Ken_Intol]

I have little money saved up and i want to buy this second hand computer and want to play csgo. Is that computer specs enough to play csgo with decent frame rates? Sorry I don’t know anything about computers

[@ms787r2]

Yes, easy I'm playing WZone 2.0 so 😅

[@itsatrap4986]

Need 2x8gb 3200 cl16 dual channel for best results.

[@IscAst4]

no

[@jakobmax3299]

I know im overreacting, but the absurd and impossible way swingin in spiderman games works is extremely irritating. If youre swinging around with rope youre gonna move in an ellipse around your attachment point, not away from it.

[@Woodwerker]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@chillermiller8654]

Reused 2200g in a budget build before eventually swapping in gtx1650Lp with it works great

[@meteormedia7021]

BTW, not sure if this is useful information to you or not, but: Those red on-screen flickers on first-gen Zen and Zen+ indicate RAM instability. These older AM4 chips, especially the OG Zen architecture, has a memory controller that REALLY sucks and doesn't like high frequencies. Anything above 3000 MHz is more or less a gamble. Loose timings don't really help and neither does higher voltage - which you can't really set independently anyways because it's tied to SoC voltage. Bottom line: lower the frequency and try to clean up the timings as much as possible.

[@SuperAwesomeWeirdGuy]

Still use my AsRock Deskmini with this chip to play Stardew Valley with my wife. Works perfect at 4K. Just now replacing it with a Ryzen 5 5500 and an old GTX 1080 Ti GPU for my Home Theater PC.

[@ggguys6113]

i still remember owning one before..tho i paired it with a 1060 3gb...amazing how it could run gta 5 and sekiro as good as the 1060 altho at normal settings while the 1060 runs the game on max settings...overclocking the ram to 3600mhz(i was using a single channel 8gb 2666mhz kingston valueram at the time) improved the framerate for quite bit and increased the 1%. For me it's quite amazing to see how much it could do just by itself. With the 1060...ac unity runs pretty well tho.👌

[@BazilDay]

Forever grateful to the silicon gods to have this in my system.

[@w.k314]

I am having this just upgraded my GPU to rx 6600, It is stuttering too much, Might ditch APU soon.

[@rizalpambudi]

You can tell this is an incredible CPU looking at Cyberpunk 2077 and Unbound is playable.

[@lizardinthelites]

Building my GF a PC using a mix of old and new parts. I have a a whole PC using a 2200G I never really used. Pairing it with an old GTX 970 I have, I think it will be fine for her to play Stardew Valley, Apex Legends and a few other titles. Thinking about upgrading it to a 2400G for $50, probably worth it but want to do this as cheap as possible!

[@MrJ0mmy]

im still using this apu in my pc with no gpu still plays everything i want at 1360x768p on my ips 1360x768 18.5inch 60hz monitor games look great even at low

[@UncommonKnowledge587]

This CPU and IGPU combo is years old, yet Intel still don't have an IGPU to touch it. Just shows how good AMD have done with their CPU + GPU chips.

[@jorge69696]

Surprised it holds up so well.

[@RandomGaminginHD]

Same!

[@BKJustPlays]

I'm currently on a Ryzen 5 Pro 2400GE and im really shocked to see it run anything decently. I had massive stuttering running Stardew Valley but it does very well with emulation...I think my problem is that no matter what i do i cant get the SODIMM modules to run faster then 1333mhz. Ive tried 4 or 5 different kits rated between 2666-3200mhz.

[@MarkHyde]

My wife loves her 3400g based system - sure next gen up - but suits her for light gaming etc.

[@TommyBeingaDik]

Merry Christmas

[@Marc_Wolfe]

7:02 That massive stutter 6 seconds later says you're wrong.

[@artemisDev]

first time seeing fortnite on low at least first time noticing and gotta say the artstyle handles no-shadows very well.

[@asdfjkl227]

Can you compare the graphics to newer APU? If I'm not mistaken this specific apu has the highest spec graphics processor of the Ryzen series.

[@LuisGonzalez-bj4il]

yo i have a pc with this . this apu is amazing . i got rtx 3080 now but this is the best budget apu you can get

[@Khloya69]

1080p with FSR isn’t 1080p, it’s way below HD in ultra performance. Specifically 640x360.

[@aleksazunjic9672]

2400G could run games released for PS4 at 720p low, and it continued to do so. Therefore, it would continue to function as budget option as long as games for PS4 are released.

[@ixiHackxi]

Merry Christmas to you

[@RandomGaminginHD]

And you!

[@thatguy7595]

Would be great if you mentioned at least the ballpark average FPS in the voiceover as well so the video would make sense without having to watch for numbers in the overlays.
