Ok, a while back, I built up a Ryzen setup for my son. Today, he told me that he has swapped it for a better system.
The system I gave him was low end for sure, but he has been given an even lower end one and the guy has in my opinion, completely blagged his head.
The Setup I gave him was a Ryzen 2400G
The setup that he sawpped it for is a Ryzen 3600G
So, on the face of it, 3600 is obviously higher than 2400, however, the 2400 is a Ryzen 5 with 11MB Cache and the 3600 is a ryzen 3 with only a 4MB Cache
Not only that,. but the Ryzen 3 is 4 core and the 5 is 4 Core with HT, so 8 Logical.
They are both 3.6Ghz
I told him that he was shafted, but he wont believe me.
One bunuis I suppose, is that his was a HP with a HP Board and case, while the board he has, is an ASUS and the case is a decent looking thing, and so sure, he has gained on that.
I have looked at benches for these 2 CPUs and they are very much on par with each other, but I dont see that at all... They are both 3.6Ghz ok, but one has 111MB cache plus HT and other has only a 4MB Cahce and not HT so surely those alone would make a sizeable difference surely?
Anyway, just a whine really, but can anyone back me up or shall I just accept the exchange and consider getting him a better CPU?
Oh, and yes, they both have 8GB RAM but his new board has 4 slots, the other one had just 2 so RAM can be upped too!
