It's starting to feel like we've talked about Raven Ridge since like forever but these new desktop APUs from AMD are finally ready to hit the retail market. These new chips combine a Zen-based CPU core with Radeon Vega based integrated graphics. The official launch date is February 12 and the first retail samples are already popping up on the web.

TechPowerUp came across photos of the retail boxes of the Ryzen 3 2200G and Ryzen 5 2400G. The latter will be AMD's fastest APU by far, the early benchmark scores indicate this chip has integrated graphics that fall somewhere between the Radeon RX 550 and Radeon RX 560. It's not enough for high-quality gaming with max details, but it should allow you to play something like PUBG at Full HD with some details dialed down:
Armed with 704 "Vega" stream processors spread across 11 NGCUs, the Radeon Vega 11 integrated graphics core of the Ryzen 5 2400G is AMD's fastest integrated graphics solution by far. It's also the fastest integrated graphics solution fully integrated with the CPU silicon (unlike, for example, the Core i7-8705G being a multi-chip module). The entire Ryzen "Raven Ridge" APU lineup was put through 3DMark 11 "Performance" preset, by someone with access to all of them. The 2400G leads the pack with 5,162 points, and a graphics score of 5,042 points. The 2200G, which features 512 stream processors, and lacks SMT, manages 4,151 points, with 3,950 points graphics score. The 2400G scores somewhere between the desktop RX 550 and the RX 560, which makes it possible for you to run "Player Unknown's Battlegrounds" at 900p or even 1080p with some details dialed down.
