There’s no beating around the bush here, it’s the slowest CPU on our charts by quite a large margin. However, that’s not as bad as you may think. Let’s keep in mind that it’s a simple dual core configuration. The new budget CPU we tested would be the Ryzen 5 1400. In PCMark 10 the 200GE scored 4100, that’s just behind the Threadripper 2900WX’s score of 4240. Sure, it sucks at converting 4K video, but well… duh! However, when it comes to productivity, desktop applications, web browsing, it can hold its own with the big boys.
Even 3DMark, Unigine, and PCMark 10 did better than expected. They’re still the lowest scores we have but not by as much as you would think. 15995 for the 200GE in 3DMark is just behind the 16672 of the Ryzen 5 1400. A number crunching powerhouse this is not, but for a typical multimedia and working computer, it’s spot on.
