It’s really only better than 1030 as far as discrete gpu goes. You still can’t hardly game on it. Gamers will still get the powerful discrete gpus. For business they don’t even care about graphics performance. The market is probably casual living room gamers and used mostly for casual gaming box? The target market for this is chip is kind of narrow.

Can this be used together with Nvidia for Deep Learnjng.

Would like to shift the display to APU and use Nvidia for Tensorflow only

Probably no problem, especially if the nvidia gpu is not even outputting anything. But AMD has crappy support for Linux.

It's good enough for Overwatch at 1080p - this may make a great budget LAN shop APU or a stopgap for gamers on a budget.

But it can be put in crap boxes that the vendor claims has radeon graphics and can game etc even though that may not entirely be the case. More for marketing

Actually that would be much better than the opposition we get on this forum. On this forum, we practically hear that we need to have at least a 4 core CPU and 16GB for websurfing and watching movies. Or we need a GF1070 to play DOTA2.

It makes better sense to start with a integrated graphic system to see if you actually need a dedicated one. And then add one in. Especially in this day and time of $1000 GPUs.

Because we like to game on max settings on at least 1080p.

Yup when someone discover he just has to have it at max settings 1080p, go on out and add that $1000 GPU to his $1000 crap box with radeon graphics.

Peepur are waiting for your xmr-stak and xmr-stak-amd benchmarks after tuning :s34:
currently tearing my hairs out trying to get DDR4-3066/DDR4-3200 stable bah

also need to do a proper avg-of-3-runs since the score variance in the benchmark is greater than i thought (considering that i have additional things running in the background now thanks to asrock buggy bios)

Got check ur procODT and geardown mode? Use The Stilt Ryzen Timing Checker? :s34:

thaiphoon burner + ryzen dram calculator (which recommended setting a bunch of stuffs ive never seen before) and still a nope when running memtest86

but then i just remembered i may have forgotten to set vSOC to 1.15. asrock locks it to 1.1V even at 2933 (last i checked, asus sets vSOC to 1.15 for 2933~3200) so i'll be trying again later :s13:

Could I suggest a shootout on different memory speeds? This should scale wildly with the increase with memory clocks but how much is the key.

You can be rest assured that a majority of gamers just want to game. And game with the kind of games that their friends are gaming/what is popular at that moment.

Which means huge user base, mass market, crap ass graphics games like Overwatch, Starcraft and Dota (and PUBG) in this day and age.

These users will benefit from (and are looking for) cheap as possible 1080p low to medium settings gameplay with whatever crap graphics card they can find.

This is where Raven Ridge excels in and this is what Raven Ridge is meant for. It is only unintentional that it ends up squashing the older Ryzen 3 series with it's superior CPU performance.

The playerbase is far less for games that push graphics like DOOM, Witcher 3, Crysis series. That's where we are as HWZers. We've got our i7-8700s, Ryzen 1800X, RX Vegas and 1080Tis. That's where 1080p at max settings is the minimum tolerable situation

You can make a linux mint bootable USB and install stressapptest via the terminal, safer for seafood swimming on the os disk :s34:
Code:
sudo apt-get install stressapptest

Waiting for sff :o:o:o

ZOTAC’s ZBOX MA551 will exist in at least two variants equipped with AMD’s quad-core Ryzen 3 2200G and Ryzen 5 2400G APUs with the Radeon Vega integrated graphics. The chips are rated to dissipate a maximum of 65 W of power (based on AMD’s TDP data) and ZOTAC outfits the APUs with a cooling system that features a large copper heatsink and a blower. The cooler looks like a GPU cooler, so its peak performance likely exceeds 65 W and enables ZOTAC to install APUs with a higher TDP or for better boost. So far AMD has announced only two Raven Ridge SoCs for desktops, so if the company rolls-out APUs with higher power and cooling requirements, the MA551 will be ready to house them.

ZOTAC’s ZBOX MA551 comes in a matte black metallic enclosure, with the internal architecture the mini-PC looking very simple, allowing the user to easily install key components as well as potentially upgrade them. The mini-PC can be equipped with up to 32 GB of DDR4-2400 memory using two SO-DIMMs, an M.2-2280 PCIe/SATA SSD, and a separate 2.5” storage device.

When it comes to connectivity, the ZBOX MA551 is outfitted with an 802.11ac + Bluetooth 4.2 module, a gigabit Ethernet connector, four USB 3.0 Type-A headers, a USB Type-C port, three display outputs (one DisplayPort 1.2, two HDMI 2.0) and an SD/microSD card reader.

ZOTAC plans to start selling its Raven Ridge-based ZBOX MA551 sometimes in the second quarter, after AMD makes such processors widely available. Pricing is yet unknown.
