AMD has finally released the new Ryzen APU line up which consists of the Ryzen 5 2400G and Ryzen 3 2200G processors both with a graphics on processor harnessing the power of the Vega graphics architecture. Both the processors are now available worldwide.
The new APUs performance is further enhanced with the improved AMD SenseMI technology which allows for lower power usage at higher frequencies and reduced memory latencies. Other than that it also comes with an updated precision Boost 2, enabling higher frequencies in gaming and real-world applications and thanks to the built-in Vega graphics, the new processors support Radeon FreeSync. For those of you that already own an AM4 motherboard will be happy to know that all the new APUs will support the AM4 socket and all users need to do is just a simple bios update to get the processor up and running and the chips will support AMD Ryzen Master overclocking utility to allow for performance tuning of the CPU, DRAM and GPU.
