Amd athlon 220ge and 240ge join the party

AMD has officially announced the launch of its new Athlon 220GE and Athlon 240GE processors, which will join the Athlon 200GE, to form the entry-level range for processors based on the Zen architecture.

Athlon 220GE and Athlon 240GE announced

Both the Athlon 220GE and Athlon 240GE are designed for use with AMD's current AM4 platform. The processors are also based on the Zen microarchitecture, highly efficient with the use of energy, and also have integrated Radeon Vega graphics. What changes with the Athlon 200GE? Frequency and price. The two Zen x86 cores with SMT remain unchanged, offering a total of four threads, as well as its Vega GPU with 3 compute units, which translates to 192 stream processors, and the 35-watt TDP.

• AMD Athlon 200GE - 3.2GHz, TDP: 35WAMD Athlon 220GE - 3.4GHz, TDP: 35WAMD Athlon 240GE - 3.5GHz, TDP: 35W

AMD positions the Athlon family against Intel's Pentium solutions and, thanks to the integrated GPU, can deliver more satisfying gaming performance at 720p. As for CPU usage, based on what you see with the 200GE Athlon, the performance of Intel solutions is slightly higher, so increasing the frequency is certainly beneficial for the new AMD chips. We don't know yet when the CPUs will be on the market, but they will probably arrive in January. In the meantime, you can find the Athlon 200GE on Amazon for 60 euros or even less.

These new AMD Athlon 220GE and Athlon 240GE processors can be the most interesting for assembling a computer with a very tight price, but a more than excellent performance for all kinds of everyday tasks.
