Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 3 2200U is a mobile APU from the Raven Ridge family, featuring 2 cores and 4 threads with a base clock of 2.5 GHz and a boost up to 3.4 GHz. Built on a 14nm Zen microarchitecture, it includes integrated Radeon Vega 3 graphics with 3 compute units (up to 1000 MHz), a 4 MB L3 cache, and a standard 15W TDP. Main characteristics include its suitability for ultra-budget thin and light laptops and daily productivity tasks like web browsing and office work. Its primary pros are its cost-effectiveness and superior integrated graphics performance compared to similar older Intel Core i3 and i5 chips. However, notable cons include its limitation to only 2 physical cores, which causes stuttering during heavy multitasking, its outdated 14nm efficiency, and its lack of official support for Windows 11.
