Athlon 3000g, new amd apu that comes unlocked

AMD announced today that it has started selling its newest APU, the Athlon 3000G, which has a suggested price of $ 49.

Athlon 3000G is the first Zen APU to come unlocked

This chip is not just any low-end focused processor, it is the first CPU based on the Zen architecture of the Athlon line to come unlocked.

Like its predecessor, the Athlon 200GE based on the Zen 1.0 architecture, the Athlon 3000G continues to use the same dual-core, four-wire configuration and is integrated with the Radeon Vega 3 graphics. It also includes 1MB of L2 cache and 4MB of L3. just like its predecessors. Even the 35W TDP has been maintained.

Although much of the spec is maintained, there are some major improvements. This based on the renewed architecture (Zen +) leads to an improvement in the base clock frequencies from 3.2 GHz to 3.5 GHz for the CPU and an additional 100 MHz for the GPU.

The other big difference is that the Athlon 3000G can also be unlocked, something that many low-budget gamers will appreciate. Its predecessor was locked, but some AMD partners offered ways of overclocking. However, these were eventually disabled through BIOS updates.

AMD claims the Athlon 3000G offers a significantly better 720p gaming experience than Intel's popular (and more expensive) Pentium G5400 for $ 73, with about a 55% increase in frames per second in different games.

AMD said the Athlon 3000G will start appearing in stores in the coming days for the "suggested" price of $ 49, meaning it could be a little cheaper or a little more expensive, depending on the stores.
