The APU Ryzen 3 2200G processor is the most modest model that has been released under the Raven Ridge architecture with integrated GPU. Making use of an iGPU Vega 8, this chip is capable of running The Witcher 3 at 60 fps with low settings, which is spectacular.
Ryzen 3 2200G gains 20% more performance in games with Dual Channel memories
The following comparison was made by the Youtube Benchmark channel. Also, that was able to run The Witcher 3 and other games using a Single and Dual Channel configuration for the DDR4 memories.
As we know, the GPUs integrated into the same package as the CPUs, such as the AMD APU, do not have their memory. Instead they use the system memory (RAM). That is why it is essential that the memory is fast so that the performance is optimal.
In the comparison, we can see the performance gain when using memories with Dual Channel configuration, which would reach up to 20% more performance.
And to accomplish the tests, the games were configured in a resolution of 720p and low quality, getting good results in The Witcher 3, Far Cry Primal and Hitman.
