AMD Ryzen 5 3400G Is Working Well On Linux

A look at the Ryzen 5 3400G performance in other Linux CPU-focused workloads.

Here is a look at the AC system power consumption when monitored by the Phoronix Test Suite using a WattsUp Pro power meter. During this testing, the Radeon VII was installed on the Ryzen 5 3400G like the other systems along with the same components where possible. There aren't power monitor results for the Raven Ridge APUs due to hitting the stability issues during testing and having to restart that testing. The AMD power consumption does appear to be trending higher on Linux than Windows, I'll be working on some bisecting and looking more into that as soon as time allows as it wouldn't be surprising if another Linux kernel power regression is at play.

Across dozens of processor benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 3400G came out about 10% faster than the Ryzen 5 2400G in the scenarios where all the APUs/CPUs under test successfully ran. However, the similarly priced Intel Core i5 9400F was faster for these Linux system workload tests.
