by the way look at cinebench scores https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/Ryzen_5_2400G_Vega_11/9.html
Ryzen is a king in multithreaded use and still behind in single core performance. Not a bad chip on-the-whole, just still not yet enough for emulation
Not enough for what exactly?
Ryzen 2200G\2400g smokes dolphin. Any Ryzen\haswell (or better) @3.8ghz runs 99% of Wii\NGC\PS2 games ( that are not buggy ) at 100% speed. In fact, even the old and dirty i5 3320M is able to emulate several games in the dolphin at fullspeed, so I do not know what you refer to, because emulation is not so heavy for a modern CPU...

Well, i wrote emulation, which means, general usefullness, contrary to intel high single power.
But now we have prices. And what the heck, we have 2400G for same price as intel on newegg. Sooo, its matters of choice:
1. Single power and low graphics for 1x rendering = then INTEL
2. Multithread king and high power graphics (<= dedicated) = then AMD
Check one or two tests if Ryzen will be okay for SAID games in OP and make a decision.

I'm leaning towards the intel. But at the same time, what the amd is missing in single thread performance it makes up for with Vega. And the price don't change much. But the 7350k I can find secondhand, the 2400g I can not.
7350k it is.

7350k it is.
Now that I have read the first pag... you intend to use the IGPU, is not it?
So 2200G is the best choice in this case, honestly, Intel iGPU's extremely weak, you will be limited to running in the native resolution. at native resolution (1x) the games look awful on dolphin.

I do use a 19 inch screen though and I tested [color=#3c4043]Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door at 1x on my 27 inch monitor (usind my current gaming rig) and did not think it looked bad. Sure, the 3x dolphin used by default looked sharper but 1x was fine for me as well. [/color]

Order for a 7350k build has been placed.
RE: Amd 4200G vs intel i3 7350k - Karmeck - 02-17-2018
With my current requirement of a vga connection, I'm looking at 750ti. It seems to be the only option. Is it a good one? This is for if the 3750k with 630hd disappoint in wii games. Still at native resolution.
I think I will go for the gt730 instead as there is a passiv cooling option available and it seem capable enough.
