AMD Ryzen 5 2500G or 2400G?

Most techie person told avoid AMD... Due to Longer usage or Later on years it will perform will reduce.

Some of them told in Heat condition slower performance or Unless you have Air-condition.

Nothing but myth,most Indian shopkeepers only say good thing about products on which they get large profit margin & intel's profit margin is always higher than amd for shopkeepers.

Due to manufacturing shortage,intel processors are currently overpriced so not a good value for money.Their prices will not come down before sep this year.

Any reason...Even though high competition...Why they slow down production..?

Also why they stopped Mother Board production?

They didn't slow down production,there were some technical issues in their manufacturing facilities & reduced capacity is also shared for producing 9th gen processors on priority resulting in shortage of both 8th gen & 9th gen processors.

Intel mobo business was not generating enough revenue.

Absolutely No such thing as performance reducing of processor after any time. A hot CPU will run slower though. So just manage and monitor your CPU temp and you will be fine. Also consider getting CPU that generates less heat than competition.

Ryzen 2200G is better.


AMD Ryzen 3 2200G-7,700
MSI B450M-PRO VDH-6,900
CORSAIR 8GB DDR4 CMK8GX4M1D3000C16-4,700
KINGSTON A400 240GB-2,800
CORSAIR CX450-3,600

They are noob or they are blind Intel fan. Processor doesn't slows until it is overheating slow down happens due to windows which slows after sometime but Microsoft has fixed this issue to some extent with win 10

Welcome!
There is no need to address by "sir" as there is no certain individual who answers all queries here . We all are like you (except few admins and Digit staff members), joined this forum because of pure interest in technology, gadgets etc., to get suggestions or discuss things from/with others and to help others.
Coming to your query, let us know more about your need and budget. Better if you fill this questionnaire first:

1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.')
Ans:

2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans:

3. Planning to overclock?
Ans:

4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans:

5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans:

6. Do you want to buy a monitor? If yes, please mention which screen size and resolution do you want. If you already have a monitor and want to reuse it, again mention the size and resolution of monitor you have.
Ans:

7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans:

8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans:

9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans:

10. Where do you live? Are you buying locally? Are you open to buying stuff from online shops if you don't get locally?
Ans:

11. Anything else which you would like to say?

CORSAIR CX450-3,600
CORSAIR 100R Black-2,900

My doubt,

In this MSI B450M-PRO Mother Board Memory supports config was...

(Supports DDR4 1866/ 2133/ 2400/ 2667 MHz by JEDEC, and 2667/ 2800/ 2933/ 3000/ 3066/ 3200/ 3466 MHz by A-XMP OC mode)

Above this config how to choose or select RAM,
Why don't we select 3466 MHz?
Any incompatibility issues?

JEDEC ram speeds are default speeds while any non-JEDEC ram speed is basically ram overclocking(similar to processor overclocking,it may or may not work).If you buy a 3000mhz ram for a B450 mobo then as per JEDEC this ram will work at 2667mhz but if you use A-XMP/XMP option in mobo bios & select 3000mhz then it may or may not work(more chances of working though as 2nd gen ryzen mobos have better ram overclocking/compatibility compared to 1st gen ryzen).

Great, How to find 2nd gen ryzen mobos there is no form factor in config.

Why sep? Is it because they will launch a next gen iteration then?

1st gen ryzen mobos--3xx series,2nd gen ryzen mobos--4xx series.1st gen ryzen mobos can also support 2nd gen ryzen processors with an updates bios.

Read some news article where they said that by last quarter this year intel processor prices should be back to where they were before price rise.
