Review on Enhance your desktop experience with AMD YD200GC6FBBOX Athlon 200GE Processor featuring Radeon Vega Graphics by Landon Bandepalli

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A good APU is a great price.

I've been a fan of AMD APUs for a while. I have several systems that I built a few years ago using A6, A8 and A10 (7870K) APUs (all on Socket FM2+) and they all still work. The system I built using the Athlon 200GE uses about 1/3 the power of the A10 7870K system and performs better than older APUs at everything I use. I've experienced random system crashes (once every 6 hours of use/hard reboot required/no event log) but I think it's due to not using the latest firmware for MoBo (GA-A320M-S2H, F22) and problems with the Linux kernel and Raven Ridge APUs. Ubuntu 18.10, Patriot DDR4 2667.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • There are errors
