AMD rolled out its most modern Ryzen APU chips this morning,
and these thing aren’t your classic processor. They come with included Vega
graphics, import that these bite-sized 2400G and 2200G are more competent at
running games than a archetypal CPU. But let’s get real: That’s not saying
much. Sure they’re fast sufficient to run Over watch and front line 1 on Low setting
with some sober caution but as a PC part they don’t plug any testing slot — and
that’s a setback.
Let’s step support from their inspiring (for a CPU) game
performance for a next and really inspect these things. AMD’s line has always
been that APUs are for finances gaming rig, and there might be a case for manufacturer
to use them in pared-down build in the $400 to $500 range, sure. Manufacturers
can settle up costs in a number of ways unavailable to an individual PC
builder. As stand-alone mechanism for a future custom build, these chips don’t
make much brains.
Let’s run the facts real quick. For an cheap motherboard
socketed for AMD chips, you’re look at $100. Let’s say another $100 for 8GB of
RAM. For gaming you’re going to yearn for at least 256GB of storage space, and
you can find a good quality M.2 drive for $100 at that volume. Moving on to control
supply, let’s err on the side of concern and go with 500 Watts, in case you
want to increase your build in the potential, that’s $50 right there. We’re at
$350, so let’s just say a different $50 for a cheap casing and about it up to
$400.
