What the Ryzen 5 2400GE is
The Ryzen 5 2400GE trims Raven Ridge to a 35 W envelope with the same Vega 11 graphics. It launched in April 2018 with a 3.2 GHz base and up to 3.5 GHz boost. AMD targets efficient small towers that need integrated gaming without much heat.
Four megabytes of L3 with 2 MB of L2 feed everyday threads. The lower clocks stretch efficiency in compact cases. Eight threads still cover office multitasking and light play.
Radeon RX Vega 11 with 11 units up to 1250 MHz handles displays without a discrete card. The process is 14 nm. DDR4-2933 in two channels suits small builds. Note that some lists show a 3.8 GHz boost for this SKU, while CPU-Monkey lists 3.5 GHz, and this page uses 3.5 GHz.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The 2400GE fits AM4 on 300, 400 and 500 series boards with display outputs. Low power BIOS builds from spring 2018 carry Raven Ridge GE IDs. Boards may need an update for GE power tables.
DDR4-2933 in two channels up to 64 GB covers efficient gaming APUs. Dual channel fast memory matters most for Vega. The Socket vs chipset: what decides whether a CPU works guide details board support.
Single socket small towers are the target. Another AM4 APU on the same board adds speed where heat allows.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
DDR4-2933 in two channels up to 64 GB pairs well with compact SSDs. Start with 8 GB for office use and 16 GB where light gaming matters.
PCIe 3.0 with 12 lanes from the APU feeds NVMe plus board I/O. Efficient towers often skip discrete graphics entirely. Chipset lanes add the remaining storage.
AM4 low profile cooling from the CPU cooler compatibility by socket guide covers 35 W quietly. Small cases benefit most from the lower heat.
Upgrade paths
On the same socket, the AMD Ryzen 5 2400G raises clocks at 65 W for faster interaction with the same graphics. PRO business APUs add manageability where listed. Both share AM4 after a BIOS check.
Discrete Ryzen CPUs need separate graphics for display. They suit towers with cards rather than efficient integrated builds.
Past AM4 efficient APUs move to newer generations with stronger graphics. The 2400GE covers low heat integrated gaming where 35 W must suffice.
Frequently asked questions
What socket does the Ryzen 5 2400GE use?
It uses AM4 on 300, 400 and 500 series boards.
