@lanodan It's more intended to run the popular esports style games, but it's a really good price for level of performance Would do great in cheap budget desktops

@Ocean Well, games aren't that CPU-intensive compared to most of the web so…

@Ocean @lanodan I love those APUs. CxIt makes me happy that AMD is still making them after Intel announced they are discontinuing integrated graphics.

@Ocean @lanodan You do know that the Vega 3 in the 200GE is just about the same as the Intel UHD 620 right. Maybe even slightly worse.I mean that's not bad, because Intel CPUs in that super cheap range come with the UHD 610 and not 620.But even if it's great value, it still won't perform much better, if at all, compared to any current gen PC with a standard i5 and no dedicated GPU.Relative to the blue team. It's basically an Intel Pentium, but has i3/i5/i7 graphics put onto it. If your typical office desktop from the past 2 years can't play the game, the Athlon 200GE won't play it either.If you buy the Ryzen 3 2200G that's still sub-$100 in most cases though, you get Vega 8, which is where AMD starts shooting ahead of Intel in APU perf

@Ocean @lanodan Most impressively, the $50-ish 200GE has a Vega 3, and the $100-ish 2200G has Vega 8.Vega GPUs (warning: massively oversimplified) basically works by having one standard "Vega" score, then they glue them together to make GPUs as beefy or light as they want. The Vega 3, has 3 Vega cores, the Vega 8 has 8 Vega cores.So from the 200GE to the 2200G, price to performance scales almost 1:1. Which is hella impressive, you're getting an equally good deal no matter which you buy. So you should just buy the most expensive one of those two that will fit into your budget.

@quad @Ocean @lanodan you have to learn to appreciate and ignore the ugliness. Once you see through it you can be enlightened from the cycle of 5 year gaming machine builds
