AMD Athlon 3000G Processor

Designed for overclocking, the Athlon 3000G 3.5 GHz Dual-Core AM4 Processor from AMD has a base clock speed of 3.5 GHz, two cores with four threads in an AM4 socket, 1MB of L2 cache memory, and 4MB of L3 cache memory. Having two cores allows the processor to run multiple programs simultaneously without slowing down the system, while the four threads allow a basic ordered sequence of instructions to be passed through or processed by a single CPU core. This processor also has a TDP of 35W. Graphically, the Athlon 3000G uses integrated AMD Radeon Vega 3 Graphics. It is also unlocked, meaning it can be overclocked past its maximum turbo frequency. However, this is not recommended, as it will cause the processor to run much hotter. Also, the warranty does not cover damage caused by overclocking, even when overclocking is enabled via AMD hardware.

• 2 cores and 4 processing threads for smooth and responsive computing
• Advanced AMD Radeon graphics built-in for 720p esports gaming out-of-the-box
• Cutting-edge ‘Zen’ processor architecture has the power you need to harness the power of graphics card upgrades for HD+ 1080p gaming
• The new Athlon 3000G is unlocked for overclocking
• 35W TDP, near-silent cooler included

AMD Athlon 3000G Processor

1. Basic Specs for a Basic CPU: Just like all of AMD's other Ryzen-based Athlon processors, the 3000G features two SMT-enabled CPU cores. (SMT, or simultaneous multi-threading, is the technology that allows each CPU core to operate on two threads at a time.) This reduces processor stalls and leads to better utilization of the CPU's resources, which in turn results in a significant increase in performance in multi-threaded tasks. The cache on this processor is also untouched compared to the other Athlon CPUs, which means it comes with 192K of L1 cache, 1MB of L2, and 4MB of L3. It's also still based on AMD's first-gen Ryzen architecture and built on a 14-nanometer process, as opposed to the "Zen 2" 7nm process used by AMD's latest higher-end desktop CPUs. Clock for clock, the CPU portion of the processor is identical to that of the Athlon 240GE, with both parts operating at the same 3.5GHz base clock.
