Well Wendel says 150Mhz bump for both. I haven't gone above 3.9/4Ghz with a 2400G overclock but I didn't spend a lot of time on it so I'd say they get to 4Ghz without the silicon lottery. At the moment I am paying under £110 for a 2400G and when available about the same for the i3 8200. What interested my is at the AMD CES presentation Lisa Su made a bit of non-specific mumbling about improvements in AV media handling- that might be a good thing as the i3 is a bit better in this regard than the 2400G. It would mean the 3400G is solidly superior to the i3 8200 which could be important depending on 3400G pricing in the UK. I wonder how the UK resellers are going to act with pricing, we have a handful of national suppliers and they all have different approaches, some will go expensive and over suggested pricing at launch, but CCL are usually pretty competitive and switch to discounting quite quickly I have found. We don't have an equivalent of New Egg so you always have to trawl through a few suppliers to find what you want for the best price. That said all this didn't stop me buying a 2400G on Monday for another STX build, helped in no small part because there is no overclocking and my plan/hope to fit a 1050Ti.
