At first, I wanted to get the Ryzen 3 2200G, cause I wanted to save some money on my first build. I've wanted to build a computer for five years, so this was a good opportunity to do so. As soon as I got the parts and put everything together, everything just came to life. The CPU was fast, responsive, and everything looked so smooth. I underestimated the CPU heavily because it only had two cores, but I was very impressed with how well this CPU performs. I'm used to typing ahead of the system and having to have it catch up, I'm used to watching 480p YouTube videos and it STILL being laggy, I'm used to waiting about ten seconds to open Chrome. As soon as I built this computer powered by the Athlon,

It's not the fastest processor out there, buts it's very adequate. Also windows 8.1 does not block updates when running on it. After I have my computer to my dad whose 13 year old cad rig finally gave up the ghost I had some parts - ssd, gtx 960 video card , a wraith stealth cpu cooler and some ram. I got a b450 main board and preordered a 3300x since May, but it still hasn't arrived and I pulled the plug and got an athlon 3000g. The main board drives the cpu at 1.277 volts on all auto. When fixing the voltage To the same value the cpu can remain stable at up to 3900mhz , and under the wraith stealth reaches 65C at 28C ambient. 65C is where I draw the line on CPU temperatures anyway,

The thing that is irritating is that someone covered the label on the unopened box (which stated that the contents were a 220GE) with another label that indicated it was a 240GE.This is the second time in a week that I ordered something from Amazon and received something else. I am starting to lose confidence that I'll get what I order.Having said that, I actually wanted an Athlon 220GE, but it was priced at $69, while that 240GE was priced at $59.44, so I ordered the 240GE. I ended up with a 220GE for ten dollars less, which is good.Just an FYI: the 220GE and the 240GE are binned higher than the 200GE, and will thus overclock higher and more easily without stability issues.

This is not a Ryzen 3950x or 10th gen Core i9, it's a 50 dollar APU (CPU + iGPU) and if you keep that in mind, you'll find this is an excellent CPU for budget builds. My kids needed a capable desktop for virtual classroom, one that could handle running Zoom/Teams/Google Meet while running school applications. Coupled with a low-cost B450 chipset motherboard, a 256GB NVMe drive and a 8GB of DDR4-2400 RAM, I have a very cheap machine that can hit a score of 2200+ in Cinebench R23. Most importantly, at 4 logical processors (threads), this CPU is able to handle most general purpose workloads with fluid responsiveness. It's mighty snappy for such a cheap part, thanks to solid single thread performance and SMT.Additionally,

This is a budget APU. It's not meant to be a competitive thing for any particular application, other than being very inexpensive and providing a solid CPU and a fair GPU in one purchase making it simple and affordable. Great for a basic workstation. Great for even basic gaming at lower resolutions like 720p and 1080p with low to medium settings without buying a separate GPU, so fantastic for games for kids or just general gaming that isn't super GPU intensive. It's a dual core, but has 4 hyperthreads so it behaves in most processing as a 4 core in that sense, so it actually is a rather robust CPU for it's price.

The chip is performing well on everyday tasks on my Deskmini A300 running Ubuntu 20.04I bought the barebones a300w kit off newegg back in May for the sole purpose of building a cheap, quiet system for working (webdev), surfing and streaming.In the interest of silence, I added a Noctua low-profile cooler to replace the one packaged with the chip. I run 2x8GB DDR4 3200 SO-DIMM with it at XMP settings. Played with OC'ing the RAM and video crashed at around 3600, forcing me to hard reset the unit. No huge performance differences, besides instability over 3333.The system is more quiet than my Dell business laptop. I get mid 40C temps during everyday tasks. Mid 50c temps while "gaming" ...

Yes, the Ryzen 3 2200G is the best value for money, but the 240GE is £54 when the 2200G is £89. You do get a bit more than half the performance than that of the 2200G so indeed the Ryzen is money well spent, so long as you want to spend it. If you don't and you want to keep your budget to a minimum, the the 240GE offers about 15% more performance than the 200GE which for the extra £4 compared to the base model, is a nice bump.This is a very fast CPU with decent graphics for a home PC, to play videos, browse the web, use office and with a cheap SSD and (now cheap) B350 based motherboard (I got mine from Amazon warehouse, cheap) makes a very fast little PC.Graphics performance is not really that strong in 3D for gaming,

This is the cheapest new CPU I have ever purchased £45.49, known as an APU as it dose have graphics onboard, ok for desk top stuff but NOT for games. Been playing with the settings for a few days now, 3000G is running at 3.95Ghz @ 1.45v, ( 3.5Ghz stock )graphics running at 1650Ghz @ 1.2v ( 1100Ghz stock ), RAM @ 3200Mhz, idle temp 30Deg, max 70Deg but not with stock cooler (Ryzen Wraith Stealth) . As I use Cad on a daily basis I have been testing the Athlon 3000G against my Ryzen 5 2400G, on multi core applications the the 2400G was always going to win, but AutoCad is not an multi core application and the 3000G is a little quicker than the 2400G, in case you are interested the 2400G is also running at the same speeds as to 3000G,

I was upset about this chip thinking of where it's coming from I still don't know but all the other athlon On eBay doesn't matter if it was new used or refurbish came from China. This is supposed to be a use but in like new condition, The APU even came with thermal paste already applied, I don't think processors get beat up too much so they should still look in pretty good shape I guess this one looks remarkably brand new and I can't wait to start using it, I've heard good things about this chip and it makes me happy. Updated 10/2020 I don't have many pc games I had built pc for family's kids but only did one for me in 2008 and it still works but I recently built one for me this year and forgot much of my teaching,

Bought when there were a few offers running on Amazon and paid £37 for mine, so it was a bargain. I benchmarked it in a few games like PUBG, Apex Legends and you *can* play at around 30-40fps at 720p with a 50% internal resolution and dynamic frame compensation, but it's pretty terrible. I use it with an RX570 and it plays all those e-sports titles at 60fps @ 1080p. I've now re-tasked it in a thin-itx build and it's fantastic because it's only 35W TDP and run nice and cool. Talking of which, the default cooler is just fine - quiet and cool enough so that 60-70 degrees is about max temperature under load. With a Gigabyte B450 motherboard you can also overclock it to 3.9GHz from 3.2GHz,

This is a very good and value for money apu for the budget gamers and also for the basic users.Its integrated vega 3 graphics is capable enough to play most games in 720p low settings.I got this apu for 3900rupees.I got the package which box is torned, but the apu and cooler is safe. I think this package is already opened by someone.But after installation it worked well.Paired it with the msi a320m apro max mobo and 4 gb 2400mhz ram and 250 gb hdd.Playing some games.... listed below with fps.All games are played at 720p resolutionFar_cry 3------------ low--------- 40 fpsFS 19---------------- medium --- 50 fpsNFS MW 2012-------low---------35 fpsRaft-------------------low-------- 30 fpsMinecraft

Haven't given this a spin yet, but I can confirm that it was very useful in allowing me to upgrade the motherboard BIOS on my Asrock Taichi X470 for Ryzen 3rd gen CPU support.AMD will send you one of these (Athlon 200GE) if you fill out a form on their site, to borrow and return in order to update your bios. Older motherboards will support newer CPUs on the AM4 platform but they will require an update and not every board will let you without having a CPU installed. This served its purpose well and I look forward to using this for any troubleshooting in future (having onboard graphics in an APU is useful) and its low power profile (35W TDP) makes it interesting for a "media player computer" setup!It comes with thermal solution already on the fan,

This CPU comes with a cooler, is cheap, and, when overclocked, can meet the performance of a Ryzen 3 1200 (at stock clocks). I was able to overclock mine, which is a holdover for Ryzen 3, to 3.9ghz stable on the stock cooler! It stays under 70 celsius, and I pumped about 1.3875v into it to achieve this. Boots fast, lack of PCI-E lanes, but what do you expect for $50?Some boards will allow you to overclock, but it is the odd BCLK*divider*multiplier or whatever way it works on certain boards. For any casual use or office work, this CPU will do nicely, plus, with the Radeon graphics and the right boards, you can play 4K content on a 4k display at 60hz (e.g. boards with DisplayPort).@Unlike Intel,

I've developed a mild infatuation with this little APU. At this price point ($49 - DON'T pay the scalpers $100+), you won't find anything better. 3.5 GHz, Vega 3 graphics (which run circles around Intel's UHD graphics), and a power draw of only 35w. Amazing!I like to build machines with these little APUs, pairing them with plenty of fast RAM and an SSD, then run them for 8-10 years before I upgrade them again. This particular build is for my wife, and is an upgrade from an AMD A8-3850 APU, which was built in 2012. I paired it with a B450-based motherboard, 32GB of DDR4 3000, a 1TB SSD, Ubuntu Linux, and it's off to the races, where it will serve my wife well for the next 8+ years.

Okay, first of, I only purchased this to do a Bios Updage on my Gigabyte b450 Aorus Pro WiFi. Due some defects I kept having to swap out boards until I got a permanent replacement, so I decided to keep it installed until my permanent solution was available, this thing can hang, if you throw a newer GPU such as anything RTX, it will bottle neck, but I had it with a RX580 and it did amazingly well. It could run any game I threw at it. Once I got a permanent solution I actually threw this into my kids pc for kids games and without a GPU it can run those. It was the MVP of my current build and now a permanent member of the family as my kids pc. Good job little CPU.
