Upgrading Cpu need help.

[jaydenroberts59]

Im upgrading an old rig I got a while ago I think in 2014 or 15.
It has an old AMD-FX 8320 (oc to 4.1)
and I want to switch to a Ryzen 2200g but im worried about going down to 4 cores.

I really dont know if this is a good cpu to switch to or if its even worth switching to from my 8320.

Im also aware I cant just slap the 2200g into the 970a mobo and Ill need ddr4 but im worried about the cpu first and foremost

For gaming performance per core is the most important thing, even though you'll lose 4 cores the performance difference is quite large.

(Look at single & Quad core performance)

For gaming it's going to be a very nice upgrade for other stuff that requires multiple cores it will be a slight barely noticeable downgrade. If you game then do it and don't think twice about it. However if you want an all round upgrade get Ryzen 5. Any Ryzen 5. Even just the Quad cores with SMT will be a good choice. The Ryzen 5 1400 is only $150 and it can be found even cheaper on ebay.

The 2400G is a better choice than the 1400. They're both 4 core ryzen with multithreading, but the 2400G is at 3.5GHz (3.9 boost) while the 1400 is at 3.2 (3.4 boost) for almost the same price (2400G is $167)

In addition it has the Vega 11 iGPU.

That too, but if you want to use the IGPU, make sure to get a motherboard with video outs! You can use it as a pure CPU in any Ryzen-compatible motherboard, however.
