AMD’s four-core eight-thread Ryzen 5 3400G comes packing AMD’s Zen+ processing cores paired with AMD’s RX Vega integrated graphics engine, a combo that’s surely to land among the list of best CPUs for gaming because it can push playable framerates for low-resolution gaming if you’re willing to make the trade-off of lower quality settings.
AMD has made significant improvements, though. The move to from the 14nm process to 12nm, along with an optimized Zen+ design, yields solid performance improvements that include a nice bump to the CPU and GPU clocks. The more mature process paired with un-locked multipliers also facilitates higher overclocking ceilings for the CPU, GPU and memory. That combination, along with a beefier bundled cooler and Solder TIM, makes the Ryzen 5 3400G the processor to beat for systems built around integrated graphics for low-resolution budget gaming rigs.
