AMD's 2019 Athlon Consumer Processors

AMD announced a reimagined AMD Athlon 3000G with Radeon Vega 3 graphics optimized for everyday PC users, along with the 2nd Generation AMD Ryzen PRO and Athlon PRO desktop processors for the commercial market. Combining the x86 “Zen” core and Radeon “Vega” graphics architectures in a versatile System-on-Chip (SOC) design, the Athlon series desktop processor offers responsive and reliable computing for a wide range of experiences, from day-to-day needs like browsing and processing through to more advanced workloads like high-definition PC gaming.

Athlon 3000G is merely a refresh of the Athlon 240GEhowever is much cheaper, at $49 200GE. When compared to the 240GE, the 3000G is ahs the same 2 cores with SMT / 4 threads, and the same 3.5 GHz base frequency, cache and Vega 3 graphics engine with 192 cores. The integrated graphics engine, however, has been tweaked upwards with 100 MHz and operates at 1.1 GHz.

The new Athlon 3000G will support two ZEN+ cores and four threads. It looks just like what we would expect from a budget range APU. Following on from existing Athlon APUs, the Athlon 3000G we also see the same 1MB of L2 cache and 4MB of L3 cache. The Integrated Graphics Processing Unit (iGPU), runs 100 Mhz higher at 1,100 MHz.
