AMD Ryzen 5 2400G With Radeon RX Vega 11 Graphics YD2400C5M4MFB AM4 Quad 3.9GHz

Description

Perfect condition. This was pulled from a system which had shipping damage to the PC case. It has not been used aside from testing and it's original build. AMD Ryzen 5 2400G with Vega 11 graphics, socket AM4 3.9GHz Turbo. Will be securely package and shipped in a box to insure safe and secure delivery. The actual CPU is pictured, both top and pin sides.
Most of Intel's mainstream Core i3 and Core i5
CPUs
come with integrated graphics processors (IGPs, for short), which means that if you don't need tons of graphics horsepower, you can save quite a bit of money by not having to buy a separate graphics card. By contrast, AMD's only mainstream desktop Ryzen CPUs with integrated graphics are its G-series models, available in either a
Ryzen 3 2200G
or the Ryzen 5 2400G reviewed here (as well as lower-wattage "GE" variants). At 9, the Ryzen 5 2400G is more than the Ryzen 3 2200G, and it offers a commensurate performance improvement. And both are a much better value than their Intel competitors if you'll rely on them for the best possible graphics performance from an IGP. If you're building or upgrading a budget desktop PC to be used for gaming on the cheap, the choice between the two G-series chips really comes down to what
else
you could spend that extra on. When it comes to general computing performance, though, the Ryzen 5 2400G lags a little behind its Intel competition.
Bring On the Eight Threads
Built on a 14-nanometer processor architecture, the quad-core, 3.6GHz Ryzen 5 2400G has all the hallmarks of a modern desktop processor. One of its main advantages over the Ryzen
3 2200G, also
a quad-core chip, is the ability for each CPU core to execute two processes or threads concurrently, a process known as simultaneous multi-threading (SMT). That means the Ryzen 5 2400G offers eight threads to the Ryzen 3 2200G's four, which can provide significant performance improvements if the apps you're running are designed to take advantage of multi-threading.
Add in the gaming performance results, and together these trends tie up the budget-CPU-with-IGP market into a nice little bow. If you're interested in getting the most gaming performance out of the least CPU and GPU budget, the Ryzen 3 2200G is your go-to chip. Meanwhile, if you don't care about gaming and need to wring as much productivity performance out of a CPU in this price range, it's worth spending the extra money on the Core i5-8400 or Core i5-9400, which still come in below 0.
Finally, if you have a bit of room in your budget, and want better across-the-board performance than the Ryzen 3 2200G but plan to primarily use your PC for light, legacy gaming or noncompetitive e-sports fare, the Ryzen 5 2400G is hard to beat. In fact, it's nearly perfect for this type of cheap PC, seeing as its gaming-performance advantage for those tasks is far greater than its deficit on processor-intensive productivity workloads.
