Review on ๐Ÿ’ป Unlocked Desktop Processor with Radeon RX Graphics: AMD Ryzen 5 3400G - 4 Cores, 8 Threads by Kate Gagnon

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I don't know how to use it for games but.

It definitely works for what I need. I was worried that it wouldn't be powerful enough, but I'm not a gamer and when I monitor its performance with Windows 10's task manager, the CPU performance percentage stays below 50% and the GPU rarely goes above 10 %. The most demanding things I do are Finale and Ableton. I have a B450 MSI Mini-ATX motherboard with 16GB of memory and I'm using only integrated graphics, no overclocking. This is the first computer I built and my budget was tight. I'm glad I didn't spend more money. However, I recently bought a Dell laptop with a Ryzen 3500U processor, which I upgraded to 16GB (dual channel) RAM with 8GB, also using the integrated graphics (Vega 8). I can say that this setup also does everything I need with the same software. If I were a player I might need more energy. But still the 3400G and 3500U work for me.

Pros
  • 4. 2GHz max boost, unlocked for overclocking, 6MB cache, DDR 2933 support
Cons
  • Almost everything is there
