AMD today released its Athlon 3000G low-cost desktop processor to cap off its entry-level. Based on the 14 nm “Raven Ridge” silicon, the chip combines a 2-core/4-thread CPU based on the original “Zen” microarchitecture, with Radeon Vega 3 integrated graphics based on the “Vega” architecture, and featuring 3 NGCUs (192 stream processors). AMD dialed up the CPU clock speeds to 3.50 GHz, a 300 MHz increase over that of the “previous gen” 200GE, and iGPU engine clock speed by 100 MHz to 1.10 GHz. A unique feature this time around is unlocked base-clock multiplier, enabling CPU overclocking.
