During the pre-CES press day earlier this year, AMD has unveiled its CPU roadmap for the year. According to the roadmap, AMD has confirmed that we would be getting the first Ryzen "Raven Ridge" APUs quite soon. Although both chips are expected to hit the market next week, Tsbohemia.cz has already listed one of them.


These new APUs with codenamed Raven Ridge will be powered by Ryzen desktop processors with Radeon Vega graphics built in. According to AMD's new product pages, the Ryzen 5 2400G will sport four cores with eight threads, while the Ryzen 3 2200G will come with four cores and four threads. Frequency wise, the Ryzen 5 2400G features a max CPU boost clock of 3.90GHz and up to 1250MHz on the GPU.

The Ryzen 3 2200G comes with similar clock speeds, it packs 3.70GHz on the CPU and 1100MHz on the graphic department. Furthermore, while the Ryzen 5 2400G comes with 11 graphics compute units, the Ryzen 3 2200G has just 8 units. Both APUs come with the same amount of L2/L3 cache (6MB) and TDP (45W-65W). AMD has bumped upwards the memory speed up to 2933MHz. This is an important choice since APUs usually make a large use of memory.

The upcoming Ryzen 2000 CPUs will be released alongside new X470 motherboards. However all current AM4 platforms should be compatible with Raven Ridge and Ryzen 2000 CPUs with a BIOS update. Tsbohemia.cz is listing the Ryzen 5 2400G at 4199 Czech Koruna which equals to 166 Euro. The price match with the MSRP announced from AMD that was $169 Dollars.
