AMD Ryzen 5 3400G Reviews, Pros and Cons

If all you want is a basic PC for office-type work, then the 3400G is suitable. Likewise, if you’re building a compact home theater PC and gaming isn’t the focus, the 3400G is a really nice option, too. Beyond that, you’re better off with other alternatives as we just mentioned. The previous-gen 2400G can also be had for $100 right now and considering the the 3400G was never 50% faster, we’d probably just get the 2400G and pocket the extra cash, save that for a better graphics card in the future if gaming is at all in your plans.

With the Ryzen 5 3400G AMD has put together an all-in-one solution for your CPU and GPU at a very low cost. On the CPU-side you have a 4-core, 8-thread part that has a base clock of 3.7 GHz and has a max boost clock of 4.2 GHz. That is more than enough...

When overclocking, our sample easily reached a 4.3 GHz overclock on all four hyperthreaded (SMT-enabled) cores, and a 1650MHz overclock on the processor's integrated GPU. With a little more tinkering, we'd guess that higher GPU overclocks should be possible. Given its versatility and out of the box performance, AMD's Ryzen 5 3400G is more than worthy of winning our OC3D Value For Money award.

It certainly is true that the Ryzen 5 3400G isnotZen 2 based. Instead, it is Zen+ based. While this is indeed an improvement over the Ryzen 5 2400G it does mean it is not a chiplet based ‘APU'. As such it does not, cannot, use the fantastically improved...

Well-balanced and affordable, AMD’s Ryzen 5 3400G APU delivers decent CPU performance alongside an integrated Vega 11 GPU that is capable of delivering an enjoyable 1080p gaming experience.

AMD is offering merely an incremental performance increase with the Ryzen 5 3400G. As an APU these units still hold ground, but as a gaming processor, these obviously are not rather exciting processors. I think it is confusing for the novice buyer that...

The Ryzen 5 3400G continues AMD's solid work in offering competent solutions for everyday computing. Applicable to a wide range of budget systems that don't need a full-on discrete graphics card present, this CPU+GPU processor's Zen+ and Vega heritage...

AMD Raven Ridge APUs were a rough launch particularly on Linux where even with the latest motherboard BIOS updates and Linux kernel I am still hitting occasional stability issues, so when the opportunity arose recently to try out the Ryzen 5 3400G as...

AMD has been on a roll recently, with their 3rd gen Ryzen CPUs smashing the competition. So, when you hear they've got a “3rd gen” APU out too, you would understandably be pretty excited. Sadly I'm here to be the buzzkill, and tell you that while this...

Ha pasado más de año y medio desde que analizamos las APUs AMD RYZEN 5 2400G, unos procesadores que combinaban los núcleos de CPU Zen con gráficos AMD RX Vega integrados para dar como resultado unos chips más que solvente y multiusos que eliminaban la...
