Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 3 2200G is a budget-friendly desktop APU from the Raven Ridge family, featuring 4 physical cores and 4 threads based on the 14nm Zen architecture. It operates at a base clock speed of 3.5 GHz with a max boost frequency of 3.7 GHz, supported by 4MB of L3 cache and a 65W TDP. Its standout feature is the integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics, which includes 8 compute units clocked at up to 1100 MHz, enabling playable 720p and entry-level 1080p gaming without a discrete GPU. While it offers excellent value, an unlocked multiplier for overclocking, and wide AM4 socket compatibility, it is limited by its lack of Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT), a relatively small cache, and reduced PCIe lanes (x8) for external graphics cards.
