A new beginning
In the second iteration of the Ryzen 3 processors, AMD decided to replace conventional processors without an integrated graphics card with APU chips with powerful Vega graphics, thereby making them more attractive for building office and even entry-level gaming PCs. So, the Ryzen 3 2200G received four cores of the Zen + architecture without the support of SMT technology (that is, the number of threads is equal to the number of cores) and a 512 micro-core Vega 8 graphics accelerator (performance is approximately in the middle between the GeForce GT 730 and GT 1030).
Light Games
The balance between the performance of processor and graphics cores is perfectly balanced (nothing pulls the "blanket" over itself), which makes the Ryzen 3 2200G a suitable economy solution for fans of lightweight multiplayer games: Dota 2, World of Tanks and Counter-Strike Global Offensive. All of these games will deliver 60+ FPS at FullHD resolution and medium-high graphics settings. And at 720p, at minimum wages and at 30-40 FPS, you can play not only GTA 5, but even The Witcher 3. It was Vega 8 that became the first integrated graphics card, pulling the final part of the adventures of Geralt of Rivia (and therefore all other games until 2015 inclusive).
Overclocking included
Despite the absence of metal solder under the heat sink cover (thermal paste is used instead), the Ryzen 3 2200G overclocks well manually (only on motherboards with the B350 chipset and higher): from the base 3.5 to 4 GHz for CPU and from 1150 to 1500 MHz for the graphics card. Both will allow you to add a few free FPS in games. However for this you will have to replace a simple box cooler with a larger tower one.
Not without flaw
As a result, at a price of $125, the Ryzen 3 2200G chip turned out to be much more interesting in terms of the performance ratio of processor cores and integrated graphics than the similarly priced Core i3-8100. We recommend to those who want to spend the first time without a discrete graphics card, but at the same time not deny themselves games. The 2200G, like other Raven Ridge chips, has perhaps only one drawback — 8 available external PCI Express 3.0 lanes.
