Should I get the 2200G?

[MadOverclocker]

Hi! I have seen that AMD released the 2200G and the 2400G CPUs which seems great for the price ($99 for the 2200G which I think it's like the 1300X) and I have been thinking if the I should get the 2200G. I have right now the 1300X and seems to OC great with a 0.025V bump at 3.8Ghz with and cool'n quiet on (No issues). Now, I built this PC not so long ago, and I have been wanting to return the 1300X in perfect condition to Amazon and the the 2200G and get a "$20 refund" ( Since I bought the 1300X at 119.99 I think) Why I am looking at the 2200G? It has an APU, if my GPU fails (7850, Bought used 2 years ago, which was used for gaming seller said) which might happen, I have a backup and not stay without a GPU. Also the new BIOS on the board website says 

-Update AGESA Code 1.1.0.1 to support Raven Ridge CPUs.

Does this mean new support for the AMD APU's right?

My board is a MSi B350M PRO-VH Plus.

I only have 3 hours to decide, thanks in advance for suggestions.

Yes, the Zen APUs were code named raven ridge.

Interesting. I didn't knew Raven Ridge was the name for the new Zen APUs

I think it's a great buy.

As a side note, it should also have slightly higher performance since all of the cores are on the same ccx (So slightly less latency) and it *might* have an improved imc.

*I'm not a hundred percent sure on that, so I would double check.

I am updating the BIOS, yeah I looked on the YT channel and looks like CPU performance it's almost the exact same. Also one question, these CPUs can be overclocked right? I think yes but I want to be sure.

They are overclockable. (Pretty much everything on their desktop platform is)

Yeah I wanted to make sure because I switched from Intel and it confuses me that they don't have the K. When I bought the CPU I thought that X means overclockable. But now I would get a little money back atleast. Thanks both of you for telling me about the CPU and the Raven Ridge info.
