Today, AMD revealed its first hybrid chip, desktop socket AM4 APUs. Which are based on Zen CPU microarchitecture, The Ryzen 2000G ‘Raven Ridge’ series. This announcement revealed two APUs the Ryzen 3 2200G and the Ryzen 5 2400G. They will be releasing on 12th of February, 2018 and their specification are show below.
AMD Ryzen 2000G Specifications:
| Model | Cores / Threads |
CPU clock / turbo |
Graphics | Shaders | Max. GPU clock | Storage | CTDP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ryzen 5 2400G | 4/8 | 3.6 / 3.9 GHz | Vega11 | 704 | 1,250 MHz | DDR4-2933 | 45-65 W |
