The New Intel Core i5-3400 G Processor: A Comparative Analysis with the i7-2400 G and i9-2200 G Series

As we can see from the provided data, the new 3400 G processor is not a significant leap forward compared to its predecessors. In fact, the out-of-the-box clocks of the 3400 G are only marginally higher than those of the 2400 G. However, as the text highlights, this difference in boost clocks can result in substantial gains in performance. With proper overclocking, we can achieve even better results from the 2400 G.

Geekbench 4 scores provide a fascinating insight into the comparative performance of these processors. The 3400 G outperformed the 2400 G by a significant margin in the multi-core section, with a score of 1818 compared to the 2400 G's 1381. This is a notable achievement, considering that the 2400 G has been known for its impressive performance in certain workloads. Furthermore, the single-core performance of the 3400 G surpassed that of the 2400 G, with Cinebench r15 scores of 834 and 664, respectively.

Cinebench r15 scores are a valuable benchmarking tool for evaluating CPU performance. The results from this test provide further evidence of the 3400 G's superiority over its predecessors. Additionally, the Blender render test demonstrated the processor's ability to handle demanding workloads efficiently.

Game testing has also been conducted to assess the performance of these processors in real-world scenarios. The data suggests that the 3400 G offers a noticeable advantage in certain titles, such as GTA V and DOOM. However, other games like Project Cars 2 and CS:GO saw minimal gains from the new processor. Notably, Forza Horizon 4 experienced reduced performance on the 2400 G compared to the 3400 G.

Another aspect of these processors that has been evaluated is their power draw. The results indicate that while the 3400 G consumes more power than the 2400 G, this difference is not as significant as expected. This suggests that the new processor's performance gains come at a relatively modest cost in terms of energy consumption.

In conclusion, the i5-3400 G processor represents a notable improvement over its predecessors. While it may not be a revolutionary leap forward, the enhanced performance and competitive power draw make it an attractive option for those seeking a high-performance CPU.

Additionally, the author has expressed interest in conducting emulation testing on the new processors to assess their compatibility with various software applications.

As the article comes to a close, it is clear that the i5-3400 G processor offers significant performance improvements over its predecessors while maintaining a relatively modest power draw. As readers look forward to the future of CPU development, these new processors represent an exciting step forward in the evolution of high-performance computing.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's going on guys the CTA Prime back here again today I am super excited because I finally got my hands on the new AMD APU and in this video we're gonna be testing out the all-new Rison 530 400 G if you're a regular viewer of the channel you know I absolutely love these AMD APU s I've done a lot of videos on the 2200 and the 2400 G that was the last gen ap use and now we finally have the 3400 G but it's not what I expected them to release in all actuality what we have here is a refresh of the 2400 G it's using a smaller diet 12 nanometer it has the AMD Zen + architecture but basically it's a 2400 G with a higher base clock a higher boost clock and a higher GPU clock right out of the box the new 3400 G is priced at 150 US dollars and inside of the box we actually get a much better cooler for the 3400 over the 24 the last gen 22 and 2400 came with the Wraith stealth we're now getting the Wraith spire with the 3400 G but if you buy the 3200 G you're still gonna get the stealth with it for 150 dollar budget apu the specs are actually pretty impressive four cores eight threads base clock 3.7 gigahertz with a boost clock of 4.2 built in radian rxt vega 11 graphics at 1400 megahertz and a TDP of 65 watts so it kept the same TDP as the old 2400 g but they've upped the base clock the boost clock and the GPU clock right out of the box so in this video i wanted to do some testing with 3400 g mainly pc game testing for this video here I've also thrown in some benchmarks but I do have several more videos coming up like a dedicated emulation video for the 32 and 34 hundred plus I have a super small form factor build video coming up so definitely stay tuned to the channel if you're interested in seeing this so with all the testing I'm doing today I wanted to give you the specs of what I'm running here we have that rise in 530 400 G a gigabyte be 450 MDS 3h motherboard 16 gigabytes of ddr4 at 3200 megahertz and it's running in dual channel mode a 500 gigabyte crucial MX 300 SSD and a 500 watt power supply and I'm gonna be running Windows 10 Pro 64-bit alright so let's get right into it I do want to mention before we get started here that I have not overclocked at 3400 G whatsoever on the CPU or the GPU side I plan on making a video later on down the road so we can get a little better performance out of this but I did want to show you the specs real quick 3400 G base clock 3.7 boost of 4.2 16 gigabytes of ddr4 32 hundred megahertz Ram and the Vega 11 graphics now these are clocked at 1400 megahertz up from 1250 on the 2400 G and speaking of the 2400 G I will be comparing most of these benchmarks with the 2400 G along with some other CPUs so the first thing I did was open up 3dmark and run a QuickTime spy on the 3400 G total score was 1330 GPU 1191 in CPU 39 77 as you can see we're up from the 2400 G but not by that much I mean really it isn't that much of a difference here and the 2400 G can be overclocked to match the clocks of the 3400 G the out-of-the-box clocks of the 3400 G I'm pretty sure we got some Headroom on this new 34 so I will be doing an overclocking video to see what we can really get out of this thing next up Geekbench 4 and this was actually a little surprising to me I know we have higher boost clocks on the 3400 G but I wasn't expecting to score this much higher in the multi-core section and we even gained a decent amount in the single core performance on the 3400 G over the 2400 in Cinebench r15 the 3400 scored in 834 now this is all multi-core here the 2400 G 1818 the 2200 g5 66 and the i3 8100 at 568 and again in the past I've overclocked the 2400 G and I've scored higher than the stock clocks on the 3400 G but we've yet to overclock this one also and finally a quick blender render test now this is all on CPU we're not using the GPU for any of this the 3400 G did the BMW benchmark in 2 minutes and 20 seconds 24 it did it in 2 minutes and 30 seconds 2200 G 3 minutes and 29 and the I 380 103 minutes and 10 so we had a 10 second difference between the 34 and the 24 and this is all attributed to those higher boost clocks so let's get right into some game testing first up we have GTA 5 still one of my favorite games of all time 1080p normal settings no MSAA averaging on the 3400 g56 FPS on the 2400 g 55 with the same settings and keep in mind your results may vary from these that I have here but I've recently tested the 2400 G with all the games you're about to see and we only gain one FPS in GTA 5 project cars 2 is a little different the 2400 G average 38 FPS 1080p medium settings no MSAA the 3400 Jeep 43 fps here we have doom 1080p medium settings using the Vulcan back in the 2400 G average 48 fps the 3400 G 52 taking some of the settings down to low in this game with a 3400 G I was averaging 64 fps so we got a really nice playable frame right here cs:go 1080p medium settings I am playing with bots here on the 2400 G 108 FPS average on the 3400 123 so he got a nice little booster rocket ly 1080p on the performance setting 3400 g82 FPS on average 2400 G 74 fps and finally for the gameplay test we have Skyrim special edition 1080p medium settings I was expecting this to do a little better but on average with the 3400 G we're getting 36 fps with the 24 I was getting 32 Forza horizon for low settings 1080p average FPS on the 3400 was 53 on the 24 46 so far I've tested around nine or ten games and here's the results for the rest another thing I like to do with these ap use is test the total system power draw from the wall I'm using a watt Oh meter an idle 37.9 on average gaming one nineteen point six in my extreme test which consists of running time spy and Cinebench at the same exact time one hundred and fifty seven point two watts so this thing can get up there but this is a very extreme test and most people won't be hitting this so in the end the risin 530 400 G is a bit of an upgrade over the 2400 G but really not by much out of the box with some overclocking we can achieve much better performance with the 3400 G and like I mention if you want to match the out-of-the-box performance of the 3400 G with your 24 just do some overclocking with it so that's pretty much it for this video guys I really appreciate you watching definitely stay tuned to the channel because I have a lot more coming up on the 3200 G and the 3400 G I want to get some emulation testing out of the way and I also have an awesome super small form-factor build coming up so it'd be really cool if you could hit that like button maybe subscribe to the
