AMD has announced a new series of desktop Ryzen APUs (meaning both processor and integrated graphics on a single chip) to replace its aging Athlon chips.
Based on a new Raven Ridge architecture, AMD’s new APUs combine an updated version of Ryzen processor with “discrete-class” Radeon RX Vega graphics. The manufacturer claims its new system on a chip (SoC) produces two teraflops of computing power.
The Ryzen 5 2400G APU headlines AMD’s new APU family with 4 cores and 8 threads clocked at a base 3.6Ghz and a boosted 3.9GHz. On top (or more accurately to the side) of the processor, this new chip features Radeon RX Graphics with 11 compute units for playable gaming experiences at 1080p and high-quality settings.
One tier down, AMD has also introduced the Ryzen 3 2200G rated for 3.5GHz base and 3.7GHz boost clock speeds. This entry-level APU also comes outfitted with 4 cores, but only 4 threads as well as just 8 compute units attached to its Radeon RX Vega GPU.
Ryzen 5 2400G and Ryzen 2200G won’t just be new APUs with the Ryzen name attached to them, they’ll actually be replacing the Ryzen 5 1400 and Ryzen 3 1200 processors that launched just last year.
