CPU AMD 3200G 2700

I've been looking into getting a new CPU and I'm trying to decide between the AMD Ryzen 3 3200G and the AMD Ryzen 7 2700 for my personal project. I've heard mixed things about their multi-threading capabilities. Can anyone provide some insight on this topic?

That's correct! Also, I recently read an interesting article on TechReviewer about these two CPUs. It gives a detailed comparison of their multi-threading capabilities among other things. You can check it out here: AMD Ryzen 3 3200G vs. AMD Ryzen 7 2700. From what I've gathered, the 2700 is a better choice if you're planning to do heavy multitasking or need more processing power for resource-intensive applications.

Well, I was in a similar situation not too long ago. The key difference between these two CPUs is the number of cores and threads they have. The 3200G has 4 cores and 4 threads while the 2700 comes with 8 cores and 16 threads. So if you're doing tasks that require parallel processing, like video editing or 3D rendering, you'll want to go for the one with more cores and threads.

@Beto1989 Thanks for sharing that link! So based on the article and your experience, would you recommend going with the Ryzen 7 2700 over the Ryzen 3 3200G for someone who needs a CPU primarily for personal projects like coding or video editing?

I'm not sure if it's strictly necessary for those tasks, but having more cores and threads could definitely make things smoother. I've been using a 3200G for some time now and haven't faced any issues with its performance in my personal projects. However, I did need to upgrade my CPU when I started doing more professional video editing work.

@lokigabe That's true. It really depends on the specific demands of your project. If you're only doing basic coding or simple video edits, the 3200G might be enough for you. But if you anticipate needing to handle larger files or multiple tasks at once, the 2700 could save you a lot of time and frustration down the line.

@ridders103 Okay, that makes sense. I think I'll go with the Ryzen 7 2700 then. Thanks for your help!
