The new AMD Athlon 200GE is set for a budget battle royale with Intel's Pentium processors

AMD’s Athlon processors are definitely making a comeback to fend off Intel’s Pentium processor range. New listings on board manufacturers’ websites, and various benchmarking databases, indicate that the AMD Athlon 200GE, and near-identical Pro version, is nearly ready to launch.

This isn’t the first time we’ve heard rumours of AMD’s Athlon nomenclature joining the Ryzen lineup as a budget offering. The Athlon 200GE was previously spotted on the SiSoft Sandra database back in February, and latest leaks confirm the specs given at that time. This means the Athlon 200GE will come with a dual-core processor, with simultaneous multithreading enabled for a total of four threads, running with a base clock of 3.2GHz.

So far no turbo clocks have been stated, but it’s possible the Athlon 200GE won’t boost frequencies whatsoever. The Pro version will likely be identical apart from management enhancements and commercial warranties - as is the case with Ryzen Pro.

This chip, reported by ComputerBase, also features integrated graphics in the form of AMD’s Vega GPU architecture.
