What about the APU to CPU ratio..?
If CPU ratio is that much upped it s no wonder that the APU to dGPU ratio is less favourable even if the whole APU was 10x faster..
Here the CPU has 2.5x the throughput of Bristol Ridge while the GPU has "only" 55% or so more Gflops, that s what you call worse, i guess that the previous complaint from a given public was that the CPU wasnt up to the GPU, now that you have i5/i7 perf level with a decent GPU at 50/60% of the price we are told that it s the worse APU ever, lol...
FTR 70% of DTs have only an iGPU, so the debate is not wether a CPU+dGPU would be better but what is the best APU for 70% of the DT market..
Here is the thing, yes, most of the DT PCs does not have a dGPU, but you dont know how many of those people actually need more powerfull IGPs, as i said earlier, most people are fine with what an A6-9500/A4-7300/G3930 gives in both CPU/IGP, if you worry about what that "70%" of people using IGP on desktop, a $50 2/4 with 3CU Ryzen replacing the 9500 will be A LOT BETTER than than these two that are more of a niche market, specially the 2400G.
The other part i dont understand, you are saying that you cant keep up with dGPU if you increase CPU perf? Look i dont going to ask the 2400G to match the RX550 that is just impossible and AMD abandoned lower end GPUs, like they did in the past with R7 240 and even the R7 250 DDR3, and Nvidia only has 1 card in this market the GT1030, that by price is more on the level of the R7 240, that a A8-7600 beaten the crap out of it with DDR3-1866. So im specting the new APU to be like the older APUs and being better that a $70 dGPU that has similar bandwidth, a 7600 was better than a R7 240 and had similar bandwidth, that moved forward to today the 2200G should beat the GT1030. And here we are talking about that MAYBE the 2400G can do that. Im not being unreasonable here and i just bored of the excuses. The 2200G has on paper what it takes to do it, why it cant?
Yes, its better than the old APU, a new product being better than an old one, who would have thought.
