Man, this thing looks impressive! 1080p is very strong!


But the addition of AMD's Vega-based graphics engine is what everyone was holding their breath for. That combination of new Zen cores with modern 3D capabilities played well together throughout our benchmark suite at 1280x720. It also earned approving nods in most of the 1080p-based tests. The previous-generation A10-9700 and Intel's current UHD Graphics solution simply get slaughtered when they show up in the same charts.

Impressive is an understatement. That thing is demolishing Intel's counterpart and beating a discrete CPU+GPU combo in most tests, with good minimums too, for less than $200. That's tremendous value.

Its way too good for this price. It blasts away anything Intel has to offer at this moment. Makes a system cheaper by ~80-100$ for budget builds. Now, lets see what Intel has to offer, with the Vega iGPU alongside. Although, its probably only going to ever see mobile...

2400G , 8GB 2400mhz ram and asus A320M-K for €350 on amazon. (8GB Ram being 100€)

I wonder if they moved away from solder because of the GPU?

If Ryzen 2 coming out in the next few months has TIM instead of solder... I don't know how AMD can use the Black Edition label with a straight face.

From the looks of it, the 2200G is best value. Only within a few points of the 2400G. With the memory bandwidth limitation, if you're just going to be gaming, the 2200G is best no doubt.

Previous FM1/FM2/+ APUs and CPUs also used paste instead of solder.

But how well does it mine?

$200 for a half-decent mining setup might inadvertently brick discrete GPU prices back to mortal regimes.

If it's any good at mining, they'll just buy all of those up too. We want to hope they aren't good for mining, otherwise the pc gaming world is pretty much screwed.

Interesting.. Do you think this would make a good choice for an HTPC? For some reason Plex won't stream in original quality HEVC videos to my old laptop anymore. I have to play them through the network drive using VLC.

I'm in love. I've been waiting for an APU like this for a while now. I'll be buying a few and recommending it to my budget-building friends as well. Can't wait to see a full range of laptops with beasts like these.

This is what I was waiting for to be at the center of my HTPC. Much excite.

I'm really hoping for better memory support. I would love to see some benchmarks with faster system RAM just to see how much we can gain.

All those going for HTPCs, what setup/case are you using? I'm looking to replace my aging E350 HTPC.
