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

One of the issues when running web-based tests is the nature of modern browsers to automatically install updates. This means any sustained period of benchmarking will invariably fall foul of the 'it's updated beyond the state of comparison' rule, especially when browsers will update if you give them half a second to think about it. Despite this, we were able to find a series of commands to create an un-updatable version of Chrome 56 for our 2017 test suite. While this means we might not be on the bleeding edge of the latest browser, it makes the scores between CPUs comparable.
All of our benchmark results can also be found in our benchmark engine, Bench.
Mozilla Kraken 1.1: link
Kraken is a Javascript based benchmark, using the same test harness as SunSpider, but focusing on more stringent real-world use cases and libraries, such as audio processing and image filters. Again, the basic test is looped ten times, and we run the basic test four times.
With the newer high-performance cores, AMD gets a fair crack at benchmarks like Mozilla, where it historically lagged behind with its Bulldozer-family architecture.
Google Octane 2.0: link
Along with Mozilla, as Google is a major browser developer, having peak JS performance is typically a critical asset when comparing against the other OS developers. In the same way that SunSpider is a very early JS benchmark, and Kraken is a bit newer, Octane aims to be more relevant to real workloads, especially in power constrained devices such as smartphones and tablets.
In recent years, Intel has made strides on its Octane performance. So even with cores and threads, and the sizable jump up from Kaveri, AMD is still behind on this test.
WebXPRT 2015: link
While the previous three benchmarks do calculations in the background and represent a score, WebXPRT is designed to be a better interpretation of visual workloads that a professional user might have, such as browser based applications, graphing, image editing, sort/analysis, scientific analysis and financial tools.

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.
