From PC Mag: AMD is targeting budget PC builders with a new Athlon chip that'll retail for only $55.
The Athlon 200GE will pack both your computing and gaming graphic needs on a single chip. The product features AMD's Zen core architecture, which is also used in the company's Ryzen branded chips, along with built-in Radeon Vega graphics.
The 200GE is designed for entry-level users in the PC desktop space, so don't expect a huge amount of performance. The chip itself features two cores, four threads with a 3.2 GHz clock speed, and a 5MB cache.
Nevertheless, AMD claims the new chip offers higher performance over rival Intel Pentium processors. According to the company's benchmarks, the Athlon 200GE offered up to 67 percent more GPU performance than Intel's Pentium G4560 chip.
The Athlon 200GE is also capable of playing certain online games at 720p, but often at low settings. The company offered some benchmarks, which showed the chip running DOTA 2 at 65 frames per second and Overwatch at 59 FPS.
