AMD Ryzen 3 2200G + Ryzen 5 2400G Linux CPU Performance, 21-Way Intel/AMD Comparison

That sounds very unlikely to me, even with CPU+GPU under 100% load and the stock heatsink. Remember, Ryzen has notoriously had incorrect sensor readings, so that might have something to do with it; I'm sure it's more like 70C.

With the advent of Meltdown/Spectre mitigations, syscall heavy workloads are performing much worse with Intel CPUs. I think your readers would find it useful if you added some benchmarks that depend upon syscall performance in the future.

It shouldn't bring the temps up to 90 though - I'd expect it to maybe get in the 70s. I haven't seen many benchmarks involving the stock cooler, but in other Ryzen chips the stock cooler is plenty sufficient at default clocks.

They have 65W TDP though.

I wonder if the 2200G is the better choice then because I don't want an unstable system.

In before people start talking about delidding these APUs.

You're too late. (they were delidded yesterday)

https://overclock3d.net/news/cpu_mainboard/amd_raven_ridge_ryzen_3_2200g_cpu_has_been_delidded/1

And tests of delidded units with liquid metal instead of crappy thermal compound were available a hour before you even posted

https://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/3237-amd-r3-2200g-delid-temperatures-and-liquid-metal

Overall results, a 10-14 ° difference with liquid metal, which is substantial.

Actually NewEgg has the 2400G back up to $189 again.

Odd because they are refunding customers who overpaid above MSRP.

I heart that the 2400G has some temperature issues (about 90°C under load). Does anyone know more? I hope this is not the case.

I know that the Intel iGPU in my laptop's Haswell chip hits 90C and throttles the entire chip all the time. It happens during video playback or attempts at gaming. It's a good thing the laptop has an Nvidia also. That one hits 80-85.

I read about a 45W setting on another thread? is it there?
Or what about very slight undervolting (if you can drop 5% voltage : pretty major result)
For more paranoia you might run the RAM slow, waiting for firmware/AGESA updates (or better drivers/xorg as most issues might come from there)

And a "Wraith" cooler should cool the VRMs.
