I thought the main reason why AMD isn‘t (yet) offering Renoir APUs through regular end-customer retail channels is that these SKUs use the same monolithic DIE as the mobile Zen 2 SKUs and they cannot satisfy demand there? Market share growth there is one of AMD‘s current top priorities.
I love those little CD's at first I would say "well you never really know of they have internet" so it was kinda needed. Now they are far more likely to have internet but not a CD drive.
Note: The ARGB Strip is *optional* it doesn't come automatically in the box. I think I mentioned that, but I wanted to make it clear. Also Benchmarks!!!!! openbenchmarking.org/result/2010254-AS-2010242AS79 P.s. we never clickbait but I just couldn't help myself for this one :D
I recently learned that our other R&D team was using GeForce GT 710 in their computers. I was shocked to hear that they are connecting a $6000+ camera to a computer with a $34 graphics card, and then having highly paid workers wait on the toaster to finish processing...
The interesting thing about this mini PC is it doesn't have chipset IC, look at motherboard at 4:50. Yes, AMD CPUs work without chipset (instead it has Knoll Activator IC).
I really want a 8 core APU. So that I can have only one graphic card and forward it to a Windows VM (whilst still have timing the surrounding Linux accessible).
The bearded Oracle click baited us. Sorry Wendel, but you deserved the Oracle, LE reference. Hopefully not too annoying. Thanks a million for the video. Really excited for Ryzen APUs
I actually like there being a driver CD. That way the driver’s will still be available after the manufacture stops supporting the hardware and remove the webpage. That being said, a write protected usb stick would make more sense.
I want this (pro version) for my portable NAS, where i only have space for a 16 drive SAS controller and 40g networking, my 3400g apparently doesnt support ECC like my 3600
I've got a 3400g on an x570 motherboard just waiting to get replaced with some Zen3 goodness in the hopefully not-too-distant future, then with an eye for something to do beyond that I've actually been eyeing the deskmini a300/x300 as a decent little platform to drop that soon-to-be-spare APU into. I can think of a couple of things to do with a box that small and portable.
Snap, but I need to find a discrete gfx card first, my old tower is in storage in another country. The 4c/8t processor is pretty solid compared to any laptop so a great interim until that Zen3
As a retired dev myself, workstation speed is a tradeoff. For productivity, you want fast edit/comple/test round trip times. But if you don't force them to test - lots and often - on slower machines more like most customers have...you'll get code that only runs well on fast machines, and is dog slow on most of what's out there - and of course, forget those running really old hardware - who, nevertheless, are still customers.
You and your channel are the main reason I ended up with my A300W, great little machine. I was so disappointed when I heard the 4750g was O.E.M. only. Gonna get one eventually, but not at $300-$450.
The 6-8 core rank-and-file systems is a huge market especially for BPOs here in the PH where multitasking is king. Even at just 8GB paired with a decent SSD, it will allow for VOIP, multi-tabbed browsing for tools, background analytics, security analytics and monitoring with ease fo rthe average call center employee. BPO companies buy them here at least in the hundreds to thousands at a time.
I have a weird question... What flash drive is that at 11:27 ? I had a translucent orange flash drive similar to that back in the day and it was my favorite, it died many many moons ago. I loved that flash drive.
This is the APU I'd like to use with a mini-ITX where I can then use the PCIe g4 x16 slot for a quad SPF+ card with 10gig fiber transceivers for an Internet gateway/firewall. The onboard 1gig Cu would go to the 1gig fiber modem uplink. Each of the 10gig SPF+ transceivers would go to a different 19" cabinet's switch. Maybe even train an EdgeTPU chip to detect and handle many types of network intrusion and plug it into the M.2 WiFi slot. Run a VPN on the APU. Ooooooo. It would be glorious.
These are readily available to buy from a lot of sellers where I live. I was wondering why I hadn't heard anybody talk about them but now I know. I guess Bulgarian retailers just sell OEM parts now too.
Is the processor a good deal for a home media server with Unraid that can function as a NAS, a surveillance server, and a pfsense router? These don't require graphics power. If it could do 4-5 plex streams, I think it could easily be my new server. This Asrock barebone system isn't enough due to the lack of even one PCIe slot so that I could add a quad nic for use as a router. Do you have any other barebones setup that could satisfy this use case? The mini itx route is pretty expensive without such options.
Some time ago I was fascinated by the idea of having a mini small form factor AMD based Mini PC. I have never build a computer before. This PC is not for gaming, just home PC for web browsing, Office programs and basic Photoshop and basic video editing. When the Asrcock Desk Mini A300 I decided to make a move. I collected the following parts for it: AMD Razen 5 2400G CPU,Samsung Evo 860 SSD 1TB Sata, Noctua NH L9a CPU cooler and HyperX Impact DDR4 SO DIMM. The only item left to buy, is the Asrock Mini PC. And now came the Asrock Desk Mini X300. My question is should I get the older A300 or go for the newer X300? Will I be able, later on in some years change the AMD 2400G in the X300 with a newer CPU?
Having all the components to build my first ever DIY PC. The computer is for home use, some random video editing and Photoshop. The CPU is AMD Ryzen 5 2400G. I have Kingston DDR4 RAM 16GB 2666MHz CL 19. Do you think it is better to get 3200MHz? Will I feel big difference in kind of use?
Got my 4750G for 250 euros, used 10 days. It usually costs 320 euros in EU. Really amazing CPU, can play 720p Warzone no problem. But more designed for casual gaming in AAA games where fps between 45-75fps is also OK in 1080p and low details. But to really unlock that iGPU you need fast memory. 4400 CL16 or something so you can run the FCLK 1:1 with the memory.
Oh I thought the LED strip would plug into the white 4-pin header. USB means that there is some MCU on it, then. Can you tell us what it reads? And could you actually figure out what the white header is for/routed to?
👍👍👍👍👍 Yes, Linux is the way to go! I used to DIY with Integrated graphics Mobo and also separate graphics card. Saved me a couple times when my cards couldn't display.
I came over here to check if the build is using an RGB strip, and guess what? It is! Have you ever attempted to control the RGB using OpenRGB for Linux? Unfortunately, the ASRock POLYCHROME RGB application doesn't support Linux. Would you be interested in giving it a try? I'm thinking of getting some RGB strips for my Deskmini X300.
Power consumption really matters in business deployments too. As an office manager, everyone refuses to turn off their PCs over the weekend and if you got a thousand of these little guys running without GPUs, you’ll save thousands a year on utilities.
Damn they've upgraded the deskmini and i missed that :) We use those as miniservers, 3d printed fan shroud etc. and have been reaaaally waiting to get my hands on a 4750G to test if they work with A300. Was so disappointed when it turned out these are OEM only parts hence very expensive, and sadly we cannot be buying these in the hundreds :( We currently put 8 of these into 4U with room to spare ... I guess we could get upto 18 per 4U if we'd really try, perhaps even more.
I got one of these and use it for a large 3d printer farm controller. On idle CPUZ says it only uses 5w of juice, which is a quarter of what my 3950X uses.
@@h2oaddict Its a X570 system with 32Gb of RAM, got eight 8Tb mechs and a 1tb NVME, 8 fans (many with LEDs), and plenty of things connected/powered out of the USB ports. I am currently using the 4750G's built in APU, it was a little glitchy and buggy until I installed AMD's proprietary driver and now it works good.
@@benjaminford8173 I was hoping they would do better with an igpu, I'm disappointed I can't get any of my ryzen chips too idle under 100w. Even my 3100 idles at 140w with 5hdd's and a downclocked 670 outputting to 4 monitors. I can get my ivy bridge and Haswell chips to idle under 40w with the igpu.
I think these APUs are gonna be the next big thing in Business and School workstations like those HP and dell systems of the early 2000s. The prices just need to come down to where it makes sense. They could even make sense for lower income families who just need a PC so their kids can do homework. If I was AMD I would partner with school districts and get them to push these mini PCs to their students in return for a cut. Sell a 8GB model with a 4core for $400 or an 12GB with a 8core for $550 and give the school $25 for each one they sell. A school could raise an extra 15-20k a year. They could come pre-configured with a bunch of software that they need and some schools may even provide them for their students.
I just got an ASUS PN50 with a 4800U. Very good. Maxed it out to 64gig ram. 8core 16 thread + APU 15W As a developer it is very good and capable. You should check one out for the channel if you can get a review unit. I would be interested in how much quicker the desktop version of the 4800U is. I don't game on my PC so very happy with my PN50. Can drive 4 monitors at 4k. And linux loves it.
I was able to get 50 fps average (score 6745) with a max of 70fps and min of 38fps at 720p in superpostion with a 4650g, 16 gb ram and Pop 20.04. I was able to get better performance and fix stuttering by manually changing the bios vram settings from auto to gaming optimized. It basically maxes out the vram at 2 gb for the vega gpu. You lose system ram but i gained performance in every benchmark. i also noticed smoother 4k video playback when multitasking in chrome.
Honestly, for AiOs or sff itx boxes this cpu is awesome. For a media person at a company, that wants to do a bit of graphic design, this would be great! Or for a school (HS or university) with a media program. Or maybe the kid doing casual gaming on the house computer :)
idle power consumption is much better with renoir, you can get under 15w idle for the whole system (measured at the wall) even with a full chipset like a520/b550. perfect for 24/7 use.
So I have the x300 and am ready to build but I am struggling on the processor choice. I do school work and play some light WOW. What other more “budget conscious” processors would you recommend for this?
Some people work on i3s, I work on a single core from a haswell server and 4GB of RAM through a VMware horizon virtual machine, it gets completely unresponsive if the window resolution exceeds 1080p and was practically unusable until I installed XFCE. Running an i3 of any generation would be heaven compared to the haswell Pentium 4 HT experience.
As old loyal customer I'm not amused with AMD anymore, I changed from the first 64-bit Athlon to a Phenom X3 to a Phenom II X4 to a Ryzen 3. As pensioner I'm waiting for the Renoir CPUs to become available for the commons with normal prices on my B450 motherboard. Since 2019 I do use the Ryzen 3 2200G as intermediate step, but I really want the Ryzen 5 4600G for ~$200. That CPU would be 3 x as fast. Like Intel in the past, AMD is only really interested in their stock price and their customers are simply the means to that goal.

10:45 No, ECC is supported across all Ryzen chips. The "Pro" designation is for management features. It has nothing to do with ECC support.
Can't wait for a "BIG NAVI" + Zen 3 based APU eventually. That would be nice.
What do you think of Infinity cache and how it seems to help alleviate bandwidth limitations for the RDNA2 GPUs? Will we see this on the APUs?
What is the second fan header for? I don't see how two fans could possibly fit in here.
3700X is a damn good work CPU and some gaming.
idle power consumption is much better with renoir, you can get under 15w idle for the whole system (measured at the wall) even with a full chipset like a520/b550. perfect for 24/7 use.
K39 itx case + Flex ATX PSU (400-600w) + B550 ITX + L9a + Ryzen 3700x + DDR4 3600 + M.2 + GTX 1660 (ti/super)
Less then 5 liters of internal volume with a discrete GPU
I wouldn't mind having that CPU in my SFF ITX rig with a decently powerful GPU to use with looking glass.
That hoRyzen pun was the first one on a while to make me groan
Great intro!

So I have the x300 and am ready to build but I am struggling on the processor choice. I do school work and play some light WOW. What other more “budget conscious” processors would you recommend for this?
I’m not a graphics snob because my eyesight blows. 😂😂😂
Some people work on i3s, I work on a single core from a haswell server and 4GB of RAM through a VMware horizon virtual machine, it gets completely unresponsive if the window resolution exceeds 1080p and was practically unusable until I installed XFCE. Running an i3 of any generation would be heaven compared to the haswell Pentium 4 HT experience.
As old loyal customer I'm not amused with AMD anymore, I changed from the first 64-bit Athlon to a Phenom X3 to a Phenom II X4 to a Ryzen 3. As pensioner I'm waiting for the Renoir CPUs to become available for the commons with normal prices on my B450 motherboard. Since 2019 I do use the Ryzen 3 2200G as intermediate step, but I really want the Ryzen 5 4600G for ~$200. That CPU would be 3 x as fast.
Like Intel in the past, AMD is only really interested in their stock price and their customers are simply the means to that goal.
