Marrying Vega and Zen: The AMD Ryzen 5 2400G Review

The office programs we use for benchmarking aren't specific programs per-se, but industry standard tests that hold weight with professionals. The goal of these tests is to use an array of software and techniques that a typical office user might encounter, such as video conferencing, document editing, architectural modelling, and so on and so forth.
All of our benchmark results can also be found in our benchmark engine, Bench.
Chromium Compile (v56)
Our new compilation test uses Windows 10 Pro, VS Community 2015.3 with the Win10 SDK to combile a nightly build of Chromium. We've fixed the test for a build in late March 2017, and we run a fresh full compile in our test. Compilation is the typical example given of a variable threaded workload - some of the compile and linking is linear, whereas other parts are multithreaded.
Our compile test has an eclectic mix of requirements, with different segments having different bottlenecks. The Ryzen 5 2400G matches the higher frequency of the Core i3-8350K, even though it already has a core and memory advantage. An interesting thing here is that the Ryzen 3 2200G and the Ryzen 5 1400 are almost evenly matched, even though the 1400 has double the threads. This is because of the frequency of the 2200G, and the memory speed.
PCMark 10
PCMark 10 is the latest all-in-one office-related performance tool that combines a number of tests for low-to-mid office workloads, including some gaming, but focusing on aspects like document manipulation, response, and video conferencing.
PCMark8: link
Despite originally coming out in 2008/2009, Futuremark has maintained PCMark8 to remain relevant in 2017. On the scale of complicated tasks, PCMark focuses more on the low-to-mid range of professional workloads, making it a good indicator for what people consider 'office' work. We run the benchmark from the commandline in 'conventional' mode, meaning C++ over OpenCL, to remove the graphics card from the equation and focus purely on the CPU. PCMark8 offers Home, Work and Creative workloads, with some software tests shared and others unique to each benchmark set.

Here's an article with a bunch of graph's that include the i7-5775C if you'd prefer to peep this instead of that vid.https://hothardware.com/reviews/amd-raven-ridge-ry...

Your i7-5775C isn't even as fast as an old Kavari A10 w/ 512 GCN2 SP's (it's close, but no cigar), so vs Vega 8 & 11 it gets it's ass absolutely handed to it... like by a lot - https://youtu.be/sCWOfwcYmHIjrs77 - Monday, February 12, 2018 - link
When I look at all the available benchmarks so far, then there's nothing this chip can play, that I can't allready play with my 5775C. 1080p with medium settings is no problem for most games like Overwatch, Borderlands, WoW, Diablo, etc. So if the 2400G can't run them at high settings, like it looks like, then I see no reason to call it the King of integrated graphics really.Holliday75 - Monday, February 12, 2018 - link
How on God's green Earth can you compare a $600+ CPU versus the 2400g? The whole point of iGPU is to be cheap. The 2400g out performs a CPU that costs over 3x as much in the exact area this chip was built for. Low end gaming.jrs77 - Monday, February 12, 2018 - link
$600 ?!? I paid €400 for my 5775C incl 24% VAT. So that would be $300 then.And again. I can play games in 1080p with low to medium settings just fine, so I don't see a reason to upgrade.

Need to check your math. €400 = $491.jrs77 - Tuesday, February 13, 2018 - link
Back when I bought it, the Euro and the Dollar where allmost 1:1, and to get the Dollar-price you need to subtract the 24% VAT I pay over here, so yeah, back then it was around $300. Hell, the intel list-price was $328.SaturnusDK - Wednesday, February 14, 2018 - link
So what you're saying is that you paid twice the money to have under half the graphics performance and 20% lower CPU performance of a 2400G.Graphics-wise the 5775C was pretty bad and got beaten by ALL AMD APUs at the time. It was close but it was never very good. Time has not been kind to it.

I noticed with some sadness that there's no DOTA 2 benchmarks. Was this due to time constraints or unforeseen issues? I'm crossing my fingers that DOTA 2 hasn't been dropped for good as it's a great benchmark for silicon such as this, though the other benchmarks of course do let us ballpark where it would land.Ian Cutress - Monday, February 12, 2018 - link
That's in our GPU reviews; different editors with different benchmark sets. We're looking at unifying the two.
