The AMD Ryzen 3 2300U is a mobile processor with 4 cores, launched in January 2018. It is part of the Ryzen 3 lineup, using the Zen (Raven Ridge) architecture with Socket FP5. Ryzen 3 2300U has 4 MB of L3 cache and operates at 2000 MHz by default, but can boost up to 3.4 GHz, depending on the workload. AMD is building the Ryzen 3 2300U on a 14 nm production process, the transistor count is unknown. The silicon die of the chip is not fabricated at AMD, but at the foundry of GlobalFoundries. The multiplier is locked on Ryzen 3 2300U, which limits its overclocking capabilities.
With a TDP of 15 W, the Ryzen 3 2300U consumes very little energy. AMD's processor supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel interface. This processor features the Radeon Vega 6 integrated graphics solution.
Hardware virtualization is available on the Ryzen 3 2300U, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) will run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications. Besides AVX, AMD is including the newer AVX2 standard, too, but not AVX-512.
