AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G, 6C/12T, 3.70-4.20GHz, tray

Heute testen wir dem ASRock DeskMini X300* den neuesten Kandidaten aus der erfolgreichen DeskMini-Reihe von ASRock. Hierzu haben wir dann auch noch einen Test in Verbindung mit dem, damals neuen, AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G* hinterhergeschoben.

AMDs neue APU-Architektur Renoir betritt nach dem Notebook mit einem Paukenschlag die Desktop-Bühne: Das neue Flaggschiff Ryzen 7 4750G bietet im Test bis zu 150 Prozent mehr CPU-Leistung als der Vorgänger. Das überstrahlt die im Verhältnis dazu schwache Grafikeinheit bei weitem.

Hinsichtlich der Leistungsaufnahme überzeugen die beiden Ryzen 4000G insbesondere im Leerlauf. Weil die Matisse-CPUs intern aus zwei Dies bestehen, ist das ein Schwachpunkt der Ryzen 3000. Der monolithische Ansatz von Renoir spart Energie, wir messen im idle-Betrieb über 10 Watt weniger. Unter Last erreicht der 4750G die 88 Watt Package Power, die AMD einem 65-Watt-Chip zugesteht. Der 4650G bleibt deutlich darunter. Und damit weiter zum Resümee.

Reous, den meisten hier sicherlich für seine Ultimative AM4 UEFI/BIOS/AGESA Übersicht bekannt, hat einen Ryzen 5 Pro 4650G in die Finger bekommen und damit einige RAM-Tests durchgeführt. Neben dem Renoir-Prozessor kam dabei unter anderem ein ASUS ROG Strix B550-I Gaming zum Einsatz.

But back to AMD the six-core AMD Renoir APU, this is the world's first hybrid processor series that have up to 16 threads onboard and truly compelling embedded graphics integrated, all that with power consumption below 65W. Within that hardware budget, you'll find 2 memory controllers, at a 7nm process will allow you to overclock the RAM to 2266MHz (this is the single data-rate) and it will not be useless overclocking. Firstly, the bandwidth and latency of RAM is very important for the cores, because they have a reduced L3 cache, and secondly, an integrated video core needs a fast memory subsystem. In most scenarios, AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G can compete on equal terms with full-fledged processors of Matisse family, but there are also some aberrations, for example, compilation speed for some reason was seriously limping behind, in AVX no anomalies were noticed. The integrated video core processing power has subsequently increased to 2 TFLOPS, which really will allow you to play titles like Witcher 3 and Battlefield V at medium quality settings and in 1920x1080, that is a reality albeit not at high framerates of course. Playing older or less demanding games will not be challenging. You should have noticed that the IGP benefits greatly from fast frequency memory. Who is this processor for? First of all, AMD initially made it clear that this is the target solution for OEM segment. Portable workstations or office computer, the very place where AMD Renoir currently sits. It does not require a serious motherboard or special RAM for further optimization and currently, it has no competitors in the likes of Intel. For those who have already purchased a processor on the Zen2 microarchitecture, we're not going to advise you to purchase Renoir, as it is more or less the same in architecture and performance, for those who decided to update their computer is worth thinking about for your typical work PC with even the ability to play games on over the IGP. And with a dedicated graphics card, the differences remain small. In closing we'd like to reiterate that we used a grey market APU, you can spot them on various etailers and eBay. AMD had zilch to do with any sampling. That's it for this article, we hope you enjoyed this read. Considering this review was performed offsite we'll leave out awards.
