AMD Releases Athlon 3000G Low-cost Desktop Processor

[btarunr]

AMD today released its Athlon 3000G low-cost desktop processor to cap off its entry-level. Based on the 14 nm "Raven Ridge" silicon, the chip combines a 2-core/4-thread CPU based on the original "Zen" microarchitecture, with Radeon Vega 3 integrated graphics based on the "Vega" architecture, and featuring 3 NGCUs (192 stream processors). AMD dialed up the CPU clock speeds to 3.50 GHz, a 300 MHz increase over that of the "previous gen" 200GE, and iGPU engine clock speed by 100 MHz to 1.10 GHz. A unique feature this time around is unlocked base-clock multiplier, enabling CPU overclocking. AMD is pricing the Athlon 3000GE at just $49 (MSRP), it competes with Intel's Pentium Gold G5000 series processors.

My daughter has a 200GE in her PC, clocked to 4 Ghz, it's fine for light gaming. I switched it out from a i7 980X to save a little power, she hasn't noticed any difference.

At just $49 you want to build a little PC, just for fun, even if you don't need a little PC.

Intel is actually better for NAS, if you want to use it as any sort of media streamer as well.

How fast is this compared to an old Phenom II X4 910e?

Can it run Sims 4 on its own with some 16GB memmory and board+psu?

I am on a budget for my sister's pc, budget is tight and maybe i go with a black edition X6 as a upgrade only for the cpu and keep the 16Gb ddr3 (1600Mhz) and add a sata ssd later instead of a rebuild with this cpu and a new board/ram?

A perfect CPU for a MediaCenter in livingroom
