Conclusion
AMD's Ryzen 3 2200G and Ryzen 5 2400G fills me with a lot of excitement, as while they are part of the "low-end" of AMD's Ryzen CPU lineup they offer a compelling option for basic gaming and deliver a boatload of interesting design changes.
What excites me most is the 2400G, as its CPU and GPU component both offer what we would describe as specification advantages over the Xbox One S, making the chip look like a great option for budget gaming given its literal console-grade specifications.
The products boost in clock speeds, and use of Precision Boost 2 also showcases a clear advantage over AMD's older Zen processors, giving us a glimpse of exactly what to expect from AMD's upcoming Zen+ series of processors. AMD's boost in supported memory clock speeds is an incredibly encouraging thing to see, especially if the company plans to expand on this further with Zen+, which will be based on a newer 12nm production process from Globalfoundries.
Sadly, we cannot get into more in-depth detail regarding the performance of this product, as that will have to wait for the official release of these CPUs on February 12th. If there is anything specific you want us to look at, feel free to tell us on the OC3D Forums, as we may be able to look into that either before launch or shortly afterwards.

This idea was enormously popular with the original AMD APUs. Even though the on die GPU was crap (6670 or something) it enabled people to just stick one in and game without the added expense of a GPU.
And yes, the GPU area on this should piddle on Intel's best tbh.
Over the coming months I fancy building a Sega AM3 only box. Running Supermodel. This would be absolutely ideal for me

It's possible that with overclocking and fast RAM it will be 1030 level, but I'm not setting my expectation that high.
Like AlienALX said, keep your expectations low and you won't be disappointed.
(My personal expectation is that a 2200G will play games better than my current Phenom II X6 1090T + Radeon HD 5750. If this happens it will be good enough for me.)Quote
All that matters is that it kicks Intel's IGP's ass. Anything else is a bonus
