Ryzen 3 2200g: + 20% graphics performance with dual channel memories

The Ryzen 3 2200G APU processor is the most modest model that has been released under the Raven Ridge architecture with integrated GPU. Using a Vega 8 iGPU, this chip is capable of running The Witcher 3 at 60fps at low settings, which is spectacular.

Ryzen 3 2200G gains 20% more performance in games with Dual Channel memory

The following comparison was made by the Benchmark YouTube channel, which was able to run The Witcher 3 and other games using a Single and Dual Channel configuration for DDR4 memories.

As we know, GPUs integrated in the same package as CPUs, like AMD APUs, do not have their own memory, but instead use system memory (RAM). So it is important that memory is fast for optimal performance.

In the comparison we can see the performance gain when using memories with Dual Channel configuration, which would reach up to 20% more performance.

For testing purposes, the games were configured in 720p resolution and low quality, achieving good results in The Witcher 3, Far Cry Primal and Hitman.
