Ryzen 3 2200G CPU review
Performance in programs
Contents
Cinebench R15
Cinebench R15 is based on the Cinema 4D software. It’s useful to measure the performance gain obtained by the presence of several processing cores while rendering heavy 3D images. Rendering is an area where a bigger number of cores helps a lot because usually, this kind of software recognizes several processors (Cinebench R15, for example, can use up to 256 processing cores).
We ran the CPU benchmark, which renders a complex image using all the processing cores (real and virtual) to speed up the process. The result is given as a score.
On Cinebench R15 CPU benchmark, the Ryzen 3 2200G was 42% faster than the Pentium G4600 and 5% slower than the Core i3-8100.
Blender
Blender is an image and movie rendering software that uses all the threads of the CPU. We used the program to render a heavy image of a project named Gooseberry Benchmark. The graph below shows the time the CPU used to finish the image, so the less, the better.
On Blender, the Ryzen 3 2200G was 24% faster than the Pentium G4600 and 12% slower than the Core i3-8100.
CPU-Z
On its current version, the well-known hardware identification software CPU-Z comes with a benchmarking tool, which measures CPU performance for one core and for all available cores.
On the single thread benchmark, the Ryzen 3 2200G was 20% faster than the Pentium G4600 and performed similarly to the Core i3-8100.
On the multiple thread benchmark, the Ryzen 3 2200G was 54% faster than the Pentium G4600 and, again, similar to the Core i3-8100.
Handbrake
Media Espresso is a video conversion program that uses the graphics processing unit of the video engine to speed up the conversion process. We converted a 1 GiB, 1920x1080i, 23,738 kbps, .mov video file to a smaller 320×200, H.264, .MP4 file for viewing on a smartphone. The results below are given in seconds, so the lower the better.
Here the Ryzen 3 2200G was 44% faster than the Pentium G4600 and 14% slower than the Core i3-8100.
WinRAR
Another task where the CPU is very demanded is on file compacting. We ran a test compacting a folder with 8 GiB on 6.813 files to a file, using WinRAR 4.2. The graph below shows the time taken for each test.
In WinRAR, the Ryzen 3 2200G was on a technical tie to the Pentium G4600 and was 17% slower than the Core i3-8100.
