It has become a common practice for AMD and Intel to reissue the processors of several architectures old generations. The Japanese media Akiba reports that AMD has revived its 3000G ATHLON in the double entry -level core with new packaging and a cool, with a YD3000C6FHSBX room number. The chip is on sale for ¥ 5,790, which results in about $ 40.
The ATHLON 3000G is one of the slowest processors you can install in an AM4 motherboard. The CPU was published in 2019 as an entry -level processor of AMD, succeeding the 200ge ATHLON series which preceded it. The two -thick Zen processor cores, four threads, only 4 MB of L3 cache, a 35W TDP and a 3.5 GHz clock speed. For graphics, the 3000g comes with an IGPU based on Vega 3 with three CUs, 192 cores and a clock speed at 1.1 GHz.
AMD launched a second variant of the chip in 2023, with a stronger cooler, new packaging and more recent deterioration based on DALI architecture. Dali was a ramification of Raven Ridge which was cheaper to manufacture, but based on the same process of 14 nm. As a result, the performance is identical between the original and refreshing versions. An interesting treat on the Dali is that it has only two physical nuclei; On the other hand, the original version of Raven Ridge of the 3000G had a quad-core matrix with two cores deactivated.
The latest reissue is not surprised based on the new DALI version of Athlon 3000g. The above -mentioned part number (YD3000C6FHSBX) confirms this. The models with the letters “FH” included mean that they are the most recent models; On the other hand, the part numbers including “FB” represent the original models.
It may seem silly for AMD to publish an entry -level processor that is now six years old, running an architecture introduced eight years ago. But AMD would not publish a processor like this unless he knows that there was still a market for this. The Ryzen 5 5500X3D is an excellent example of it being a “brand new” Ryzen CPU “based on Zen 3 architecture, but it is locked by the region in Latin America. The Ryzen 5 5600F and Ryzen 5,7400 are similar, both locked up on the Asian market.
Intel is not foreign to this strategy either; He recently published the Core i5-110, based on his architecture Comet Lake 14nm, an architecture that made his debut five years ago in fleas such as the Core i9-10900K.
The only warning owners will have to be aware is the compatibility of the motherboard for the 3000g. The chip is so old that the last AMD iteration of AM5 motherboards in the 500 series does not support it. Technically, these boards of directors can help, but AMD has published as many AM4 processors in the past eight years as there is probably not enough room in the memory of the micrologetal of motherboards of the 500 series to accommodate these old chips.
