Ryzen desktop APUs support the same Socket AM4 infrastructure as Ryzen Desktop CPUs. It is also compatible with the existing AM4 ecosystem of more than 120 motherboards, requiring only a BIOS update.

The processors are unlocked for performance tuning of CPU, DRAM, and GPU settings through the AMD Ryzen Master overclocking utility to enable even more performance for users who appreciate the freedom to overclock. Company test results show that the Ryzen 5 2400G delivers up to 39% faster graphics performance when overclocked.

Ryzen desktop processors with Radeon Vega Graphics are globally available through e-tailers and retailers for use with the wide selection of AM4 motherboards currently in market. Customers can get the latest purchase information of AMD Ryzen Desktop APUs at AMD.com. OEM systems with Ryzen desktop processors with Radeon Vega graphics, meanwhile, are expected in market in the coming months.
