Review on 🚀 AMD Athlon 3000G 2-Core Unlocked Desktop Processor with Radeon Graphics and 4-Thread Support by Matt Pavelko

This is a budget APU. It's not meant to be competitive for any particular application, other than being very inexpensive and offering a solid CPU and a good GPU in one purchase, making it easy and affordable. Great for a basic workstation. Also excellent for lower resolution base games like 720p and 1080p on low to medium settings without buying a separate GPU, perfect for kids' games or just general games that don't require Super GPU usage. It's dual-core but has 4 hyperthreads, so in that sense it behaves like 4-core most of the time, so it's actually a pretty solid processor for its price. I compared it to my older FX8350 4Ghz 8x Core Bulldozer processing a 20 gigabit video file and it took me 19 minutes to complete all the procedures; this 3.5GHz Athlon 3000G APU, 2x core and 4x threads, performed the same processing in 15 minutes, giving me back 25% of my time, 25% overall performance improvement in this particular application (Autostakkert!3, SER container 20Gb) . with 1000 RAW images). My poor old bulldozer hobbled back into its hole. I installed it in a base system with a B450 chipset with an SSD and 16GB DDR4 memory and was using Win 10 OS and the system doesn't feel like budget. It's fast and everything is dealt with. I never thought this $300 system could handle serious tasks and GPU rendering. Great APU for $50!
