About the AMD Ryzen 5 2400G CPU

The AMD Ryzen 5 2400G is a 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q1 2018 with a suggested retail price of $169. It is part of AMD's Ryzen 5 lineup, which is based on the Zen microarchitecture. The 2400G is compatible with AMD Socket AM4 motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon RX Vega 11 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Ryzen 5 2400G supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 2400G has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 128 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 4 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Ryzen 5 2400G features 4 total cores which can process 8 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.6 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.9 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is unlocked, enabling overclocking for those seeking to push the CPU's performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Ryzen 5 2400G includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon RX Vega 11. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card. While integrated graphics can handle basic tasks like web browsing and office applications, it is not suitable for more demanding activities such as gaming or video editing, where a dedicated graphics card offers superior performance.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The Ryzen 5 2400G has the 301st best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 22.28% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 8,241 score and $169 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 48.76. This is the 52nd best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.

About the AMD Ryzen 9 3950X CPU

The AMD Ryzen 9 3950X is a 16-core (32-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q4 2019 with a suggested retail price of $749. It is part of AMD's Ryzen 9 lineup, which is based on the Zen 2 microarchitecture. The 3950X is compatible with AMD Socket AM4 motherboards and is fabricated on TSMC's 7 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

The Ryzen 9 3950X supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously.
