Seems like these APUs are not the most stable and several things make them fall over

Every AMD launch is a mess tbh. Outside of refreshes I cannot remember the last time they had a successful launch. :/
Soldato
Doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the APU's themselves, non of what he just talked through is a hardware issue, it's all various software that hasn't been updated to function correctly with the new hardware. Developers need to start taking AMD seriously again and getting updates/patches/BIOS out before product launches.
Soldato
He was also talking about the asrock board having quite poor options.
I think AMD need to rein this sort of thing in.
Soldato
As I said, developers need to start taking them seriously and allocating time to getting stable fully featured BIOSes out in time for launch. Some board partners have managed it fine, others are lacking. AMD have no control over this, and the same thing happened with Ryzen launch because board manufacturers are used to AMD not being competetive or in demand for the last decade, so they've got used to not being too bothered about AMD product launches.
Soldato
Whilst they cannot control the likes of asrock etc, the vega launch was also a mess.
Infact a lot of releases lately are a mess, I wish they would get it right first time instead of rushing.
Soldato
Not necessarily, wasn't the memory compat issue with Ryzen when it launched down to AMD dont they maintain AGESA.
or what you posted yesterday
The TH Ryzen 3 2200G and DigitalFoundry Ryzen 3 2200G reviews have been added to the OP!!
Picture of the "boot kit" which is basically a retail A6 9500:

I think the Intel Hades Canyon is what other geezer wants , intel cpu + powerful vega gfx , sadly tho not likely to be released to the public. Only problems are price £700 and power draw (2x 240 power bricks iirc)

Otherwise I think thses look fine a do-it-all media gaming browsing Nuc .. except for the price of 8gb of 3600mhz memory

I wonder how many of those dual cores will end up on eBay......
Whilst it's a nice gesture I don't see it lasting or happening again if the untrustworthy end up not sending them back .

How does 2400g compare to 4790K CPU wise....
Caporegime
Higher IPC but obviously clocked lower, as good or maybe not quite as good in some games with a very high end GPU.
Apparently from the various tests I've seen only having 8 pcie lanes for a graphics card has very little negative affect.

here it is running with a GTX 1080

It's 8x at PCI-E v3, so it's about the same as PCI-E v2 16x.
That said a GT 1030 only uses a 4x connection....

I would still take the 1030 over a vega APU, look t them frame times, Ewww.
