The Intel Celeron G1850 is a budget dual-core processor for desktops. Released in the first half of 2014, this Haswell based version replaces Ivy Bridge Celeron processors such as the G1630 and are estimated to yield up to 10% improved performance. Hyperthreading technology and turbo boost are not activated but the base clock speed of 2.9 GHz enables a reasonable effective speed of 74. This may not be enough for power users but it's ample for home theatre PCs. The Intel HD Integrated Graphics are not powerful, but they are sufficient for playing 1080p movies. Further, the TDP of 53 Watts means that the G1850 is a low power, low heat and therefore low cost processor. Coupled with an SSD and a decent graphics card the G1850 will give a reasonable user experience. [Nov '14CPUPro]
The budget Ryzen 5 2400G is a four core, eight thread APU (accelerated processing unit: combined CPU and GPU) from AMD’s Raven Ridge product line. It has a base clock of 3.6 GHz which boosts to 3.9 GHz. Its RX Vega 11 graphics scores an average bench of 20% which is at the forefront of performance from integrated graphics and is 34% faster than the RX Vega 8 graphics found in the Ryzen 3 2200G (the 2400G’s ultra budget sister APU). The 2400G currently retails at $162 and includes a Wraith Stealth cooler. This puts it in direct competition with Intel’s quad core Coffee Lake i3-8350K at $167, which does have a 26% faster effective speed. However, the 2400G’s integrated graphics are far stronger (137%) than the 8350K’s, making the 2400G a great choice for those looking for an economical multimedia PC or a super budget gaming PC.
