AMD Outs Athlon 3000 Gold and Silver "Zen" 15W Mobile SoCs

AMD is doing a bit of an 'Intel' by naming some low-power Athlon 3000 SoCs Silver and Gold. Over the past years, Intel has been applying that as suffix towards their enterprise products as well among others to their Pentium series.  None the less, interesting LP SOCs.

In the slides from AMD released at CES two Athlon 3000 Gold and 3000 Silver product ranges have been announced. Granted I missed these completely in the press-release overview, so here's an update. The two SoCs are Athlon 3000 based and are 15 Watt products. AMD will be releasing an Athlon Gold 3150U and Athlon Silver 3050U. The two "Dali" architectures SoC are based on "Zen" CPU cores. The Athlon Gold 3150U is a 2-core/4-thread " CPU that clocks in at 2.40 GHz and a 3.30 GHz boost.

The Silver 3050U has two cores and threads at 2.30 GHz with 3.20 GHz boost. Both have 4 MB of L3 cache. These units have small integrated graphics processors as well, the iGPU on the 3150U based on a Radeon Vega 3 with 192 stream processors that clocks in at 1.00 GHz. The 3050U holds merely two streaming clusters, and that would be 128 stream processors clocked at 1.10 GHz.
