AMD Raven Ridge Ryzen 3 2200G and Ryzen 5 2400G Review

HEVC

The HEVC Decode benchmark is something that is relatively new to our test suite, which means that we currently lack results from the low-end of Intel's processor lineup.  This lack of data prevents us from comparing Raven Ridge to Intel's similarly priced CPU models from their i3 and i5 series of processors, though at least we can compare these new CPU models to AMD's existing Ryzen 3 and 5  series products. 

Looking at the Raven Ridge 2200G, we can see that it leaves the Ryzen 3 1200 it replaces in the dust, offering stock performance that is closer to what the Ryzen 3 1200 provides when overclocked. Moving up to the 2400G, we can see results that are very similar to the Ryzen 5 1500X, which sits above the Ryzen 5 1400 that the 2400G replaces.  This boost in decoding is great news for AMD's Raven Ridge desktop lineup given their similar pricing to their previous generation equivalents.

What is the test bench setup?

HDMI 2.0? I got a HDMI only 4K TV. The 2200G will be the cheapest solution by far, that supports hdmi 2.0. The only native alternative is 1030/rx550, which is almost alone the cost of the 2200G.Quote

Test bench setup is on page 2 at the bottom.

HDMI 2.0 will be down to what your motherboard supports, as some AM4 motherboards only have HDMI 1.4 as far as I am aware.Quote

Thanks. The test bench probably has a typo, that confused me on the MB:

"AMD Ryzen 3 2200G & Ryzen 5 2400G
ASUS Prime Z370-PLUS
G.Skill Flare X 3200MHz memory
Corsair RM1000i
Corsair MP500 512GB
Corsair H110i GT
Windows 10"

That probably should be x370-PLUS, Z370-PLUS? Anyway, i missed it down there, so thanks for answering.

As for what motherboards supports, the specs are a mess:

X370 XPOWER GAMING TITANIUM

"-1 x HDMI™ 2.0 port, supports a maximum resolution of [email protected] (1)
-1 x DisplayPort, supports a maximum resolution of [email protected] (2)

(1) Only support when using a 7th Gen A-series/ Athlon™ processors
(2) Maximum shared memory of 2048 MB"


What does that mean?

GA-AX370-Gaming K7

" Integrated Graphics Processor:
1. 1 x HDMI port, supporting a maximum resolution of [email protected] Hz
* Support for HDMI 1.4 version.
2. Maximum shared memory of 2 GB

* Actual support may vary by CPU."


These specs can actually mean a lot of different things. Like being written for the Athlon CPUs available at MB launch or like for the K7, that they maybe but not clearly only support HDMI 1.4. It is clearly CPU dependent, and Athlons only support HDMI 1.4, so what is the story with the MSI board? The HDMI on the MSI is after all only available using an last gen Athlon?

No body seems to know, but a lot of people are opinionated. I would really appreciate it, if you could try it out.

As for HDMI 1.4, max refresh rate for 2D is 24Hz.Quote
