Did you ever look at those entry-level CPUs and wish Intel would put in something better than their Intel HD graphics? Well, AMD have done so, and at CES they announced some new Ryzen APUs for us builders on a budget! Read on for details, benchmarks, and builds featuring the new chips.
What’s an APU?
An APU (or Accelerated Processing Unit) is simply the name given to the chip when a manufacturer combines a CPU and GPU onto a single chip, instead of having 2 standalone components. In this case, we will soon be seeing 2 new AMD Ryzen CPUs with Radeon Vega GPUs all on the one chip.
现在，这种时机让我着迷。普通读者可能还记得我的年终回顾文章这是在9月和10月的返还 - 我认为AMD对其A系列处理器进行了刷新有点奇怪，其中绝大多数带有R5和R7图形的人。这是因为我和其他许多人一样，一直期望AMD释放新的处理器，从Ryzen和Vega Technologies中流行。las，我认为AMD在将Vega带出门的情况下遇到的麻烦才导致这些产品仅准备释放。
但是，在想知道发布的时机之外，我偷偷怀疑这些来自AMD的新APU即将成为预算仍然想要游戏的用户的超广阔地位。And that is completely down to the price of these Ryzen APUs, and what you can do with the CPU and GPU cores: although it seems like we’ve been spoiled with having all these overclockable Ryzen CPUs (and that continues with these), the Vega cores in these chips will be able to be overclocked also. So let’s take a closer look at what is coming our way on February 12.
Ryzen 3 2200G ($99)
CPU:4-core/4-thread
CPU时钟：3.5GHz / 3.7GHz boost
GPU：8 Vega计算单元 @1100MHz
TDP：65W (w/ 46W low power mode)
Socket:AM4
那么，这仅仅是Ryzen 3 1300X，并将Vega GPU粘在上面吗？好吧，是的，否。
AMD have given the 2200G APU the same base and boost clock as the R3 1300X, so I’d assume they have no issue with putting this out at a cheaper price for the same performance! What this should mean, though, is that hopefully the CPU can be clocked to somewhere around 3.9GHz.
移到GPU上，它以1100MHz的速度出现在盒子上。这实际上是一个有趣的价值，因为回到RX Vega 56版本，当汤姆的硬件正在测试GPUand dropped the power limit by 25% they had a clock of 1101MHz. So I do suspect a little bit of power wizardry is being achieved by AMD and Radeon here so that the Vega cores don’t run super-hot. That being said, I think we will be perfectly fine to push up to at least 1250MHz (if not higher) based on the clock of the bigger brother below.
但是它会玩天际吗？
为什么是，是的。（这些是使用没有独立GPU的这些芯片的基准。）
The other games are an interesting mix, but do show that for $99 this isn’t half bad. It’s not going to blow the world away, but then again if you want more performance then you would pay for a standalone GPU.
考虑到这个出色的表演者，让我们看一下将其与其他一些部分结合在一起，以制作完整的构建！
母板：ASRock B350M ($65)
虽然我们在这里不需要任何超级幻想，但是拥有B350板确实意味着我们可以稍微超频，如果我们愿意的话。以这个价格，这对我们的小型建筑非常有用。
RAM:Ballistix 8GB DDR4 2666MHz ($88)
如今，RAM真是太昂贵了，因为现在它是真正提高此版本总价的主要组成部分。话虽这么说，这是（合理的）不错的公羊，也可以给出轻度的超频。
HDD：Seagate 2TB BarraCuda ($60)
值得庆幸的是，传统的HDD存储很便宜！
PSU:Corsair CS550m（折扣后$ 70 // $ 50）
您真的不会以50美元的价格使用此PSU出错。金额和半模块化，这550W为我们提供了足够的构建！
案件：Thermaltake V21 ($60)
多亏了我们的小型主板，不必担心GPU尺寸，我们可以选择案例选择！这是一个可以容纳PC的小立方体，什么不爱？一个漂亮的紧凑型设计，可以为构建提供独特的外观。
Total Build Cost: $422
For a build coming in at just over $400, this makes it a great contender for someone building a budget PC that’s powerful enough for gaming without blowing your bank balance out the window. With it being able to be overclocked, this has all the makings of being a superbly popular “first-time builder” entry into gaming and more. Honestly, a new/budget builder can’t go wrong here.
Ryzen 5 2400G ($169)
CPU:4-core/8-thread
CPU时钟：3.6GHz / 3.9GHz boost
GPU：11 Vega Compute单元 @1250MHz
TDP：65W (w/ 46W low power mode)
Socket:AM4
这将是一个有趣的前景re. It is clocked pretty high out of the box, so it’ll be fascinating to see whether or not you can push these to stable 4GHz clocks without issues. Alternatively, letting it run at 3.9GHz across all those cores and threads will give you really nice performance by itself.
It’s probably worth noting that this is clocked higher than the Ryzen 5 1500X, even though it is cheaper and contains a GPU.
As for the GPU, the 1250MHz is a decent middle ground for a “normal” clock for Vega cores. Vega 56 (for example) ran flat-out at 1500 MHz and—although I don’t think we’ll really want to try our luck and run these cores to the ragged edge—it will be very interesting to see what the brave overclockers get these up to!
但是，我可以在Witcher 3中与Keira一起在湖边度过一个浪漫的时刻吗？
Why yes, yes you can…
…好，几乎。请注意：在1080p的Witcher 3中获得超过30fps的任何东西并不是什么可嘲笑的。总而言之，对于APU来说，这是一个非常出色的全能性能。这里有趣的是R5 2400G与R3 2200G之间的一系列相同的分数，例如《战地One One和Rocket League》，尽管Skyrim仍然表现出可用的额外功能的好转。
现在，让我们看一下R5 2400G APU的可能构建：
母板：MSI B350 PC MATE ($80 // $60 after rebate)
Going with a full size board this time around, yet still at an insanely good price, made even better if you correctly take advantage of the rebate!
RAM:Ballistix 8GB DDR4 2666MHz ($88)
8GB对于此构建仍然足够，因此该部分仍然来自上面的构建，以降低成本。
HDD：Seagate 2TB BarraCuda ($60)
Can’t go wrong with 2TB storage here (more could always be added later as needed).
PSU:Corsair CS550m（折扣后$ 70 // $ 50）
This 550W is still plenty for our build!
案件：分形设计焦点G神秘红色（60美元）
Finishing off this Ryzen APU build is this cool mid-tower case from Fractal Design. No better way to show off a ‘team red’ build than in this nicely finished case.
总制造价格：527美元（回扣后487美元）
在这里增加了更强大的APU的价格大约100美元，这一点并不糟糕。这将是一台出色的全方位PC，足够强大，可以开始现代AAA游戏，同时仍然非常有效。总而言之，这是一台出色的PC。
What will be interesting going forward is seeing the benchmarks come out from these processors in real/non-simulated conditions and after overclocking—to see how they really stack up against similar builds at this price.
最后的想法
我对AMD的这些新APU选项着迷。开箱即用的表演真的很好。而且，如果它们能够很好地超频，那么他们就可以完全改变入门级市场。Heck, I need to build my parents a small PC in February and I’m suddenly finding myself being drawn to that 2200G, a micro-ATX motherboard, and maybe a slim all-in-one water cooler like the MasterLiquid 120… choices, choices…
但是我在这里比自己有点领先！这些型号的推出定于2月12日 - 因此，在情人节这一天，也许您所爱的人成为最能力的新电脑！在评论中让我知道您对这一公告（以及两个构建）的看法。
