Product overview

Released on February 12, 2018, the Ryzen 5 2400G is a Ryzen 2000‑series “Raven Ridge” desktop APU pairing four Zen‑based CPU cores (8 threads) with Radeon RX Vega 11 graphics. It runs at 3.6 GHz base and up to 3.9 GHz boost on the AM4 platform with DDR4‑2933 support.

Positioned as a mainstream Ryzen 5 part, it exists to deliver usable gaming and everyday compute without a discrete GPU in affordable builds. It’s a good fit for 1080p gaming (especially eSports/indie titles), office/productivity, and budget builds with a later path to add a mid‑range graphics card. Unique: it has an unlocked multiplier and ships with AMD’s Wraith Stealth cooler.
