The AMD Ryzen 3 4300U is a mobile processor with 4 cores, launched in January 2020. It is part of the Ryzen 3 lineup, using the Zen 2 (Renoir) architecture with Socket FP6. Ryzen 3 4300U has 4 MB of L3 cache and operates at 2.7 GHz by default, but can boost up to 3.7 GHz, depending on the workload. AMD is making the Ryzen 3 4300U on a 7 nm production node using 9,800 million transistors. The silicon die of the chip is not fabricated at AMD, but at the foundry of TSMC. The multiplier is locked on Ryzen 3 4300U, which limits its overclocking potential.
With a TDP of 25 W, the Ryzen 3 4300U consumes only little energy. AMD's processor supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel interface. The highest officially supported memory speed is 4266 MT/s, but with overclocking (and the right memory modules) you can go even higher. For communication with other components in the computer, Ryzen 3 4300U uses a PCI-Express Gen 3 connection. This processor features the Radeon Graphics 320SP integrated graphics solution.
Hardware virtualization is available on the Ryzen 3 4300U, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) can run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications. Besides AVX, AMD is including the newer AVX2 standard, too, but not AVX-512.
