    That 1500X with 16MB L3 cache sure looks tempting...

    would you put the Athlon 2xx series on that list (considering the architecture)?

    also, why not go with the 2400G over the 1500X? for $10 extra (street price) you get some extra GPU cores to play with at least with the 2400G... are there many projects that the extra cache benefits?

    I will indeed include more AM4 CPU's in this thread (TR4 even)
    And not to stop indeeding: there are indeed projects where a big L3 cache has some benefits -hence the still active 6-core Phenom II's...
    And in that case the 16MB L3 cache of the 1500X throws in more weight than the 4MB L3 cache of the 2400G.
    All-round seen the 2400G is the better CPU by being an APU too.

    Perhaps even all of them

    The Amicable Numbers app is written to be executed within the L3 cache even

    The upgrade path: how to get the most bang for your buck

    There are more than one ways to catch a hare, and the same applies to a good cruncher.
    One way is to start with a decent mobo, with lots of room for future improvement.

    I choose the Asrock A320M Pro4 because it will hold a future 8c/16t Ryzen 7, it has four RAM slots and two M.2 slots (one 'only' SATA3 however), plus decent VRM cooling.
    On top of that, is is relatively cheap too.

    I choose an A12-9800E as a start CPU/APU, because
    • It had four cores (or two 'Excavator' modules to be more precise),
    • It has a mere 35 Watt tdp,
    • It had the best IGP AM4 APUs offered (at the time of purchase),
    • It was relatively cheap (as in about 100 Euro's).

    The idea is to upgrade the CPU first (with as added benefit that my DDR4 RAM will run at a higher speed too, 2400MHz instead of 2133MHz), and to buy an Asrock AB350M Pro4 later.
    Virtually the same board, but with a better chipset. Then another CPU upgrade, followed by an Asrock B450M Pro4 purchase.
    The Ryzen 5 2400G and 1500X look like potential candidates for the next upgrades, eventually pushing out my FM1 A8 APUs.

    A12-9800E ain't all that bad (though Excavator is not Zen), rumours are that Athlon 200GE will cost significantly less though ($55-$65) In fact the A12's are about the same price as Ryzen 3 2200G and Ryzen 3 2200GE:

    This turned out to be a solid investment. The A12-9800E is still just as expensive, and the A320M Pro4 board can in the future also handle my Ryzen 7 1700, that now sits in a Asrock AB350M Pro4.
    The FM1 APUs are now in the reserve fleet, and I am still dubbing about my FM2. I might turn it for a time into a Moo! cannon and add two or three HD 6670s on the board. Have to use Windows for that though, or use an old Linux.

    An A12-9800E still ain't all that bad (though Excavator modules still aren't Zen Cores/Threads), and the rumours that the Athlon 200GE will cost significantly less though turned out to be even pessimistic, price here now €42-€45. (And you'd be an idiot to buy more expensive versions, like the Athlon 240GE: Just overclock an Athlon 200GE)
    The A12-9800's are still about the same price as Ryzen 3 2200G (€80), but the A12-9800E is far more expensive -and the Ryzen 3 2200GE is nowhere to be found. Never mind: the Ryzen 3 3200G is in the stores.

    are you sure the additional L3 helps?

    not that this helps (as a "real world test")

    i got approx 4580 / 17700 @ 3.7-3.725 (somewhere between 38 and 38.5 single core test) on a 2400G ...single stick of DDR4-2400 RAM, no less

    the weird thing is that the cooler my cpu got (cooling down from recently crunching), the lower it scored

    I am not sure how to interpret "4580 / 17700 @ 3.7-3.725 (somewhere between 38 and 38.5 single core test)"...

    Is the 17700 a typo for 1700 (as in Ryzen 7 1700)? If so, where does the 2400G comes from?

    4580 FP MIPS / 17700 Integer MIPS @ 3.7-3.725GHz (somewhere between 3.8 and 3.85GHz single core test)

    sorry, mixed up ghz and multipliers on 4 hours of sleep.

    reason for range is that it was bouncing between the two
