Price reduction for Raven Ridge APUs, which are based on first-generation Zen cores, such as AMD Ryzen and AMD RX Vega M graphics, but for now, the reduction is only in the United Kingdom.
The first generation AMD Ryzen processors have been very positive, but they are not the most interesting that the company has launched, the most prominent ones, without a doubt are the Raven Ridge APUs. The Ryzen 3 2200G and Ryzen 5 2400G offer excellent performance and a great balance between price and great features, as it combines Zen cores and RX Vega M graphics. Now these processors, which already came with an extremely attractive and adjusted price, have received a discount.
These processors are characterized by offering great processing power and also by having Vega graphics, we have more than enough gaming power to move simple games with a good resolution and even AAA-type games, with 720p resolutions, without major problems. Above all, they are an excellent solution for users on a tight budget, avoiding having to spend more on a dedicated graphics card.
This reduction, for now, has only reached the UK, that we know of. AMD has dropped the price from £ 84.98, which was the Ryzen 3 2200G, to £ 79.99. The Ryzen 5 2400G has also been lowered from £ 149.99 to £ 128.99. The price reduction, as we said, has occurred in the United Kingdom and it is to be expected that this will spread to other markets.
Intel cannot compete with these processors, since the company's Iris graphics are a true chestnut, which hardly give to play minesweeper. The truth is that AMD with the Ryzen has hit the nail on the head and the company's APUs, with Vega graphics, are an excellent solution, especially for those who have a very tight budget, since RAM, SSDs and graphics, They are at a time when they are worth more than a barrel of printer ink.
