Last month, AMD began showing off its CPU roadmap for the year, confirming that the first Ryzen ‘Raven Ridge' APUs would be launching fairly soon. The Ryzen 5 2400G and Ryzen 3 2200G will be the first out, sporting Zen CPU architecture and Vega graphics. Now we have a good idea of what performance to expect, with new benchmark results leaking out. We also have the first benchmark result for Intel's upcoming laptop chip, which will feature a Radeon Vega GPU core.
The folks over at MoePC managed to get their hands on some 3DMark benchmark results for AMD's first Raven Ridge desktop APUs. Both the 2400G and 2200G use Vega 11 and Vega 8 respectively for graphics. In real world terms, the 2400G sits just above an Nvidia GT 1030 in 3DMark 11 and somewhat on par with a mobile RX 550.
In 3DMark 11's performance test, the Ryzen 5 2400G scores 5042 points. In comparison, an RX 550 Mobile scores 5568. The Ryzen 3 2200G on the other hand scores 3950 points. Meanwhile, the RX Vega M GL, which AMD developed for Intel to use on some of its own upcoming processors, scores impressively ahead of these APUs.
According to the results, the RX Vega M GL can out-do a GTX 1050Ti (9694 points), scoring 9967 points in 3DMark 11. This means that Intel's upcoming laptop processors sporting custom Vega graphics will outperform these upcoming Ryzen APUs. Or at least, that is what these early benchmark leaks tell us.
KitGuru Says: You might not get much Triple A 1080p gaming done with these APUs based on the current results. However, for lighter ‘esports' games, they should probably do the trick. Are any of you currently planning a budget system build?
it has to be said that those chips will retail for the budget sector whilst the intel.amd hybrid will be for high end ultrabooks, so double the performance, but triple or even quadruple the cost.
Not to bad for the basic gamer that wants to dabble a couple hours a week in their favorite game. I am not sure if it was just rumor but it was said AMD confirmed that they are also going to be doing a chip with 4GB HBM2 on a APU in the near future or is this only going to be for a stand alone card in the mobile maybe.
I plan on getting the Ryzen 5 2400G on day 1, but only because I have a Ryzen motherboard sitting in the closet still in its box along with 16gb of ddr4-3200 b-die ram. I don’t have a decent video card and I don’t plan on buying one until they are back down to normal MSRP prices. The Ryzen 5 2400G won’t be on a budget system (Asus STRIX X370), it will just be a hold me over APU until Zen 2 is released. Once Zen 2 is released that is when I will go all out on a 8-core CPU and Navi GPU, probably in early 2019. This is now my staggered plan all thanks to cryptocurrency mining. So thank you to all the miners out there.
these are results for a Ryzen 5 at 60w imagine a Ryzen 7 at 90W
That -is- the part they’ve made for Intel isn’t it? At least, everything I’ve read says that the Intel Part will come with 4GB of HBM2.
Yes but besides that part, amd said and showed their own ryzen chip with hbm2 on it
a/ I think you will be pleasantly surprised & b/ I think code tweaks to dx12 etc APIs will hav extra ordinary effect on amd’s new apuS.
It’s not a good fit w/ u place keeper plan, but water cooling is doubly doable on an apu, as a single cooler does both processor.
I can imagine that, but I was mostly sure that Raven Ridge would top out at 65W packages?
Is there really a 90w in planning?
Totally different chip; I doubt Raven Ridge even has the HBCC (and thus an HBM memory bus). That’s using AMD’s new Vega Mobile GPU, which is packing 28 CU’s (aka 1700ish odd SP) vs RR’s 11. Though Intel only gets it for Kaby Lake-G in cut down 24 CU (Vega-GH), and 22 CU (Vega-GL; most likely to be used laptop’s) forms.
