## Description

AMD Athlon 3000G 2-Core, 4-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor with Radeon Graphics.

Review: Stopgap - This processor is amazing. It's a $45-55 APU (which means it's a CPU with stronger integrated graphics) that runs off of modern hardware, meaning it is wonderful for those looking for a noticeable upgrade path in the future. The support this APU will likely get into the future is wonderful, and if all you do is office work then I don't see any reason to spend more money. The same is true for gaming, as if all you want to play are popular multiplayer games like Fortnite, CS GO, League of Legends, etc., on a limited budget, as long as you are okay with lower settings, you can even do it on the impressive integrated graphics. If you're looking for emulation, too, this is a wonderful processor. It can also perform well in many modern games, if you plan on using a budget GPU like the 1050, 1050ti, 1060, or 1660. Of course, if you plan on playing all the latest games at max settings at 60fps or higher at a 1080p resolution or above, you'll likely need to look elsewhere. It's also great for overclocking, even on the included budget cooler. For my use-case then, which is as a college student who does light last-gen gaming whenever they aren't working on classwork, this APU is wonderful for just that. It being a dual core may cause issues in modern games, but I eventually plan on upgrading it to a Ryzen 5 since it supports the same architecture, saving me the additional money it would have costed me to purchase a Ryzen 3, while I wait to save up the money. The only issues I've really had is with Minecraft, as it is a game that loves cores no matter what GPU you pair it with (so if you plan on playing Minecraft, I'd recommend at least a 4-Core Ryzen 3), and that it runs so cool that the integrated fan might honestly be overkill, but if all I can really say is that it runs too cool, then this is a pretty cool purchase. One last thing I will say, modern Ryzen and Athlon APUs love ram speed, so be sure to pick up the fastest ram speed you can afford, and be sure the ram is running in dual channel mode for extra performance (this means instead of buying one ram stick of a higher capacity, buy two ram sticks at lower capacity that can run in dual channel).
Review: $50 Do It All, Fantastic! - This is a budget APU. It's not meant to be a competitive thing for any particular application, other than being very inexpensive and providing a solid CPU and a fair GPU in one purchase making it simple and affordable. Great for a basic workstation. Great for even basic gaming at lower resolutions like 720p and 1080p with low to medium settings without buying a separate GPU, so fantastic for games for kids or just general gaming that isn't super GPU intensive. It's a dual core, but has 4 hyperthreads so it behaves in most processing as a 4 core in that sense, so it actually is a rather robust CPU for it's price. I compared it up against my aging FX8350 4Ghz 8x Core Bulldozer CPU crunching a 20Gb video data file and it took 19 minutes to perform all routines; this Athlon 3000G APU at 3.5Ghz, 2x Core and 4x Threads did the same processing in 15 minutes, giving me 25% of my time back, making it perform 25% better in general in this particular application (Autostakkert!3, 20Gb SER container with 1,000 RAW frames in it). My poor old Bulldozer limped back to its hole. I installed it into a basic B450 chipset system with an SSD and 16Gb of DDR4 memory and using Win 10 O.S. and the system doesn't feel budget when in use. It's snappy and everything is handled. I would never guess this system was $300 and can handle solid tasking and GPU rendered stuff. Great APU for $50!
