Folding on a Ryzen APU

Since my wife was away for a few days, I took the opportunity to reinstall the folding client on my computers. I have a Ryzen 5 2400G and a laptop with a Ryzen 7 2700u.

These are budget chips and the results are not overwelming.

The results are not that great.
On the 2400G, I'm getting and average 80K ppd. 20K ppd for the cores and around 60K ppd for the GPU.

The laptop is a Lenovo e585 but the APU is seriously held back by the throttling.
Using the default client settings, I was getting an average of 37K ppd. 12K ppd for the cores and 25K ppd for the gpu. But I noticed that the chip temperature was only at 65C and the GPU frequency was limited to a maximum of 500MHz (vs 1300 MHz in the specs)
So I disabled folding on the CPU, the temperature went down to 57C and got an average of 42K ppd on the GPU. This time the max frequency was around 1150 MHz averaging 970MHz.

Anyone else using an APU for folding?
 
Those numbers for the 2400G are pretty decent. I was folding on a GTX680 until recently putting in about the same PPD (it was underclocked to keep fan noise down). PPD per watt isn't bad at all on that APU.

With the new WU, the PPD is even a bit higher on the 2400G.

I'm currently getting 92K PPD with the following:

CPU: getting 20,186 PPD on project 14190
GPU: getting 72,758 PPD on project 11743

Total: 92944 PPD.

But the real PPD average is a bit lower because of the server issues of the last few days when trying to download a work unit.

Awesome numbers!! :D

Those core22 WUs get me 1M PPD on each of my 1070s, but really push the cards hard :lol:
 
I recently upgraded the 2400g to a 5600g. Here are some new numbers:

When folding on both cpu (11 threads) and gpu cores:
168K ppd for the cpu with project 18407
66k ppd on the GPU with project 18024

Total: 234K ppd

When folding on the gpu cores only
80K ppd on project 18024

When folding on the cpu cores only (12 threads)
168K ppd on project 18210
249K ppd on project 18407

For gpu folding, the upgrade to the 5600g is not much of an improvement compared to the 2400g.
But what a difference when folding on the cpu!
