Amd raven ridge is tested in 3dmark showing great results

The combination of Zen cores with Vega graphics already made us hope that AMD's new Raven Ridge APUs will be a huge improvement over previous generations. Several of these processors have been tested at 3DMark showing exceptional performance.

Raven Ridge Ryzen 5 2400G shows great performance

The Raven Ridge processors will go on sale on February 12, the first samples are already reaching analysts, so they have started to work. The first performance tests of these new processors have appeared on Reddit forums in 3DMark, the star test when evaluating performance in video games.

AMD Ryzen 3 vs Intel Core i3 (Comparison of gaming performance + benchmark)

The AMD Ryzen 5 2400G processor is the most powerful of the new generation of AMD APUs, this chip integrates a Vega 11 graphics processor with a total of 11 Compute Units and 704 stream processors, this makes it the most powerful fully integrated graphics solution till the date. Thanks to these specifications, it has been able to achieve a score of 5, 162 points overall with 5, 042 points in the graphic section. Its younger brother, the Ryzen 3 2400G with 512 stream processors, has settled for a score of 4, 151 and 3, 950 points.

Beyond the graphics, both processors are based on a Zen quad-core design, the Ryzen 3 2400G with 8 threads thanks to SMT technology, while the Ryzen 3 2200G complies with 4 threads as it does not have SMT. With this we have that the Ryzen 3 2400G is an excellent processor that should be able to handle a fairly powerful graphics card without problems.

What is especially interesting about these processors is that the four cores are in the same CCX complex, so they communicate with each other directly without having to go through Infinity Fabric, the internal interconnection bus of the Zen architecture and which has proven to be one of its weak points.
