Dual-core Athlon for entry builds

The AMD Athlon 3000G is a dual-core, four-thread desktop processor built on the 14nm Zen+ architecture. It fits the AM4 socket and runs at a fixed 3.5 GHz base clock. Integrated Radeon Vega 3 graphics provide display output without a discrete card. The 35 W TDP includes a stock cooler in the box.

Sustained load at 35 watts

With a 35 W default TDP and a 95 °C maximum junction temperature, the chip is designed to hold its 3.5 GHz base frequency continuously within the thermal envelope of the included cooler. The unlocked multiplier allows enthusiasts to raise clocks further, though sustained operation above the rated TDP will require a more capable cooling solution.

AM4 platform limits

The processor supports dual-channel DDR4 memory at 2667 MHz and communicates over PCIe 3.0 lanes provided by the AM4 socket. Integrated graphics output is suitable for 720P eSports titles, while a discrete GPU upgrade enables 1080P gaming through the same PCIe interface. OS support covers 64-bit Windows 10, RHEL and Ubuntu.

Questions about this item

How loud or hot does the 35W Athlon 3000G get under sustained load?

The 35W TDP and included near-silent cooler keep thermals in check; maximum junction temperature is rated at 95°C.

Which memory and motherboard socket must I already have for this AM4 CPU?

You need a Socket AM4 motherboard and DDR4-2667 memory running in dual-channel mode.

Will my existing PCIe 3.0 graphics card work alongside the integrated Vega 3 graphics?

Yes, the processor provides PCIe 3.0 lanes for a discrete card while the Radeon Vega 3 iGPU handles display output or light tasks.
