First tests to the AMD Ryzen 5 3400G and Ryzen 3 3200G with 12nm Zen+

We already have the first tests performed in the new AMD Ryzen Picasso APUs thanks to published results in the Geekbench test. The new AMD Ryzen 5 3400G and Ryzen 3 3200G APUs have new Zen+ cores manufactured in 12nm, which offers better thermal and overclocking capabilities than the previous AMD APUs.

As we can see in the comparison with our data of Geekbench the new AMD Ryzen 5 3400G and Ryzen 3 3200G do not offer us a very different figures in performance with the configurations that have been tested. It remains to be seen the margin of improvement in the overclock, the Zen+ nuclei of 12nm with respect to the Zen or 14nm pass from a TPD consumption of 65/45W to 35W. In the new encapsulation of the APU we also have the core welded to the outer shell by means of a gold plate which surely also improves the heat dissipation.

At a general level, the data of the current AMD Ryzen 14nm APUs that we saw months ago in detail are similar to the new Zen+. In these new APU AMD Ryzen Picasso as differences have improved CPU speed and have the same GPU but with an improvement in the speed of your watch. These new APUs are fully compatible with the immortal AM4 socket, we hope to see these new APUs in the market soon and know their final price.
