Earlier today, AMD announced Ryzen 4000 G-Series Processors. The Pro variants available starting today from SIs and the 4000 G Series are expected to become available in OEM systems starting in Q3. All of these processors will be exclusively available from SIs and OEM partners.
A Message From Our Sponsor:
When you get into the press release, it becomes clear that these "4000" series processors are not on the Zen 2+ architecture that is expected. They are actually on Zen 2 architecture. Meaning you would be buying a "3000-series" processor with a GPU strapped on. Now strapping on that GPU is not without its draw-backs. Keeping the same TDP as the "3000-series" variants (minus the G from the naming and the GPU) and the same number of cores will likely come at the cost of core frequency.
Another thing that sticks out is that the release does not mention what architecture the GPUs are. Luckily, when we reached out to AMD, they told use that the GPU are on the Vega Architecture. But this does not make sense as looking back, the 3400G using 11 Vega cores, while the new 4700G supposedly will be running 8 Vega cores.
What do you think? We at iTech News do not see these processors as the choice for gamers or for proffessional uses (such as video editing, photoshop, and 3D modeling). They will have their place in OEM and SI Desktops. We think that they likely end up functioning as a "family computer".
