I bought this processor for the media center I built for my den. This chip has a built-in video interface. Since I don't need any fancy graphics this saves me from having to buy a graphics card. This CPU has been working well in my media center and I've had no issues with it. I recommend it!

Not so long ago, we had a chance to test AMD's first Athlon APUs based on the Zen architecture, and while we thought they had a place in the market, we weren't blown away. AMD had done just enough to beat Intel in terms of value in the budget market, but this wasn't saying much. Luckily, AMD also had its Ryzen "APUs" to deliver a serious bargain, in the form of the Ryzen 3 2200G and Ryzen 5 2400G, and these are the CPUs we've been recommending for over a year in our DIY PC Buyer's Guides. Now AMD is back with the follow-up to these processors, the Ryzen 3 3200G and Ryzen 5 3400G, and we're excited to bring you a full review of these promising contenders in the value market.
But, first, some background on what APUs are. In AMD's world, an APU is a CPU with built-in graphics. To the rest of the world, this is just a CPU, and most Intel CPUs in fact do have built-in graphics. With that said, AMD is understandably proud of its APUs, because they have graphics chips derived from AMD's powerful Vega architecture used in high-end desktop GPUs. That's what made the 2200G and 2400G truly groundbreaking. The big question here is what improvements the 3200G and 3400G bring to the table. First, they're based on the Zen+ architecture, which uses a more efficient 12nm manufacturing node (down from 14nm) for lower power use, while also offering slightly tweaked architecture, (on the order of 3% higher performance per clock). But perhaps the biggest difference is one that took the least 'innovation: higher-clocked versions of the same Vega 8 and 11 graphics chips that appeared on the 2200G and 2400G, respectively. With clock speeds that are about 12% higher, this improvement could be viewed as the most significant in this new product release. Perhaps not revolutionary, but any improvement is admirable given that Intel has been going backwards in this market for a long, long time - in fact, it's essentially abandoned the market all together!

I bought this to do a budget gaming build for my brother in law. While you're not going to play games at super high frame rates or graphic setting it does perfect at medium to low settings. PLus using Ryzen Master utility you can overclock the CPU and GPU to squeeze out a few more frames.

This CPU + GPU combo is the best yet. It blows intel out of the water. I’m able to play esports games no problem on this (Counter Strike, Valorant, Overwatch). Triple A games like Call of Duty push it a lot even at really low settings. This little CPU can do a lot at $100 even light VR. So that’s why I will be giving it Five Stars

I originally intended to get a r5 1600af but could not find them in stock, so i decided to settle for this before other cpus went out of stock and man let me just say this cpu has been doing me well, its such a solid cpu if you have a budget gaming build, i have it paired with a msi gtx 1650 super and this combo goes along nicely

I prefer building my desktops rather than buying the "canned" ones in the stores. At the time I purchased this CPU, BB had the best price. I also liked being able to just walk into the store and pick it up. Computer is still working great with it.

This item is perfect for what I needed it for. Light gaming and basic computer tasks it does flawlessly. I bet it could handle way more too. The price changes frequently so I wouldn’t buy this for $179 if I were you. I bought mine for $99.99 due to Best Buy’s price match.

I was going to buy the 3100 but they were out of stock, I found this was for sale so I took the hit to see if it was any good, and it exceeded by expectations. For $100 this is a neat little processor for the price and runs a lot faster than my old laptop, definitely recommend.

A good price point for a powerful CPU upgrade for an AM4 motherboard. Kit comes complete with instructions, cooling fan and pre-applied thermal paste. Make sure the fan type fits your board however. Otherwise, you will need to get a different cooling fan for your chip.
