Are you thinking of building your own gaming machine but have a limited budget? Why not go with a bold route with the new AMD Ryzen APUs.
One of AMD’s promising products is their budget-friendly APUs. And now, they’re taking it up a notch with the new Raven Ridge line which packs some of the latest technology that the AMD has to offer.
The Raven Ridge processors will come with a Ryzen CPU as its core with a Radeon Vega GPU to handle the graphics work. It will come in two flavors: the Ryzen 5 2400G with Radeon RX Vega 11 and the much cheaper Ryzen 3 2200G with Radeon Vega 8 GPU.
Ryzen 5 2400G with Radeon RX Vega 11 Specs
- 4 CPU cores
- 8 threads
- 3.9GHz Max Clock Boost
- 11 Graphics Compute Units
- 1250MHz Max GPU Clock
- 6MB L2/L3 Cache
- 65W TDP
Ryzen 3 2200G with Radeon Vega 8 Specs
- 4 CPU cores
- 4 threads
- 3.7GHz Max Clock Boost
- 8 Graphics Compute Units
- 1100MHz Max GPU Clock
- 6MB L2/L3 Cache
- 65W TDP
The most interesting part is, these new APUs will work with the existing AM4 sockets. So if you already have an A320, B350, and X370 motherboards lying around, you don’t need to get a new one.
The Ryzen 5 2400G will retail for Php9,150, while the Ryzen 3 2300G will be at Php5,725. Each unit will come with an AMD Wraith Stealth cooler.
