    They're probably on the horizon https://www.amd.com/en/ryzen-pro

    The 1st and 2nd gens had some X series processors.

    So basically at best it has some extra 'encryption' or protection over the normal ryzen3... wouldn't it have been worthwhile having some of these features in normal desktop cpu's.

    But then you wouldn't have a business focused CPU that you can dramatically increase margins on then?

    Re: AMD announces Ryzen Pro 3000 Series Processors

    I've been waiting for the 3400G to build a small desktop for my son (bit of casual gaming but mostly stuff for school). My daughter has a machine with a 2400G in it but that lacks the "pro" nomenclature; is this a different class to the 2400G?!

    Not really the point. IF you pay more for the PRO series (which is tricky to work out since they're OEM only) what you're paying for is the dedicated enterprise-level support, as much as any specific features. And if you're an enterprise of > 1000 staff (or you're on OEM selling to an enterprise of > 1000 staff) that's kind of critical, because you're going to have a lot of processors that will need a lot of support.

    Depends what you mean by "class". The 2400G and 2400G PRO are silicon identical. The PRO may have some additional features enabled, but they're down by fusing or microcode rather than a dedicated version of the silicon. But, as I mentioned above, the PRO series have an entirely different model of support targeted at large businesses, or the OEMs that sell to them (e.g. Dell premier, HP enterprise ...).

    For a home user, there's no point even thinking about a PRO series processor: they're generally not available at retail anyway, and they won't get you anything that's actually useful to you.

    As to the 3400G, it's already available at retail, it's basically just a 2400G transferred to a 12nm process (v. 14nm) with very performance minor tweaks, and it's probably exactly the processor you're looking for.

    Ah cheers, I'd been keeping an eye out for the 3400G and obviously missed it!
