AMD’s dynamic duo is coming to the masses. On Thursday, the company announced the Athlon 200GE, a $55 processor that includes Radeon Vega graphics and CPU cores built using AMD’s Zen architecture. It also radically alters AMD’s approach to the Athlon brand.
You won’t get much of either at this price point, but the Athlon 200GE looks like a solid option for budget PC builders. The 35-watt chip packs two cores and four threads humming along at 3.2GHz, with no turbo speeds listed, a configuration that should handle basic office and everyday computing tasks just fine. It also includes three Radeon Vega compute units, which can handle high-definition videos and “720p esports gaming out-of-the-box.”
