The setup

Setup
I plugged it in and everything worked. All kidding aside, this is an ITX board and 65W chip with onboard graphics. I was assured it would overclock.
|
Expectations
I expected it not to work at -113c and or the gpu would not OC at all, boy was I wrong. It ran for days without tear down at -113c.
|
Reality
Ryzen has evolved and delivers the best iGPU available today.
|
Overclocked
I spent a few days pushing the Ryzen 2400G on the cascade and everything went great, better than expected on the MSI B350 motherboard. The MSI B350I PRO AC motherboard is an ITX form factor and very limited in design but delivered excellent results overclocked, I was able to push both the CPU and GPU for testing. The motherboard maxed out on the cpu and gpu core @ 1.55 volts, I did not volt mod the motherboard. I will push again with an OC motherboard for 5Ghz results as well as the 5Ghz 32M time.
The 2200G has good performance and I prefer the lack of SMT cores to get higher MHz from the 65 watt package.
The motherboard and CPU were both extremely stable throughout all of the tests with all cores and threads enabled to find the absolute maximum speeds at -113C. Running stressful threaded benchmarks at top speed proved to be no problem at all, I feel I was limited by the motherboard not being able to deliver more than 1.55v.
The Vega 11 and Vega 8 GPUs are very strong for being an iGPU, I enjoying the smooth desktop at 4K resolution, the scaling worked perfect for me on both GPUs.
Memory performance is similar to the previous Ryzen series, no real change here. It is easy to work from the tuned AXMP settings. Recovery was simple, even for those who prefer to pull the battery to reset.
The most surprising and strongest improvement was seen with Web Decryption in PCMark, this beat the Intel parts by a huge margin. Overall the 2400G was a strong performer in all tests.
