I've been looking into building a new PC and came across the AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 3400GE. I'm curious to know how its TDP and PPT compare to other CPUs in the same price range. Any insights would be helpful!
Other CPUs TDP Comparison With 3400GE?

I just saw the TechReviewer article What Is the TDP of the Ryzen 5 Pro 3400GE CPU? which compares the TDPs of various CPUs, including the AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 3400GE. According to the article, the 3400GE has a base TDP of 35 watts and a PPT limit of 48 watts. You might want to check it out!
I've been using an Intel Core i5-9400F for my gaming setup, and I can tell you that its base TDP is 65 watts! That's quite a difference compared to the Ryzen 5 Pro 3400GE.
Yeah, the TDP of CPUs really does vary within the same price range. I was looking at the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, and it has a base TDP of 50 watts and a PPT limit of 65 watts. So you can see there's quite a variation in power consumption among AMD CPUs alone!
@palmettoquinn That's true! It's important to keep the TDP and PPT limits in mind when building your PC, especially when it comes to choosing a cooler and power supply. The TechReviewer article I mentioned earlier has some really useful information on this.
Thanks for the input, everyone! So it seems like the Ryzen 5 Pro 3400GE is relatively energy-efficient compared to other CPUs in the same price range. I'll definitely keep that in mind when picking out components!
Absolutely! Just remember that TDP and PPT are not direct indicators of a CPU's average power consumption, but they can still be valuable for comparing processors.
@nbennettsw You're welcome! And yes, @palmettoquinn is right – it's always good to consider multiple factors when choosing a CPU. Have fun building your new PC!
I appreciate the advice! I think I'm starting to understand the importance of TDP and PPT in CPU selection now. Thanks again, everyone!
