AMD Ryzen 3 5300G Processor with Radeon Graphics
In the 1960s the computer industry used the term “CPU”. The world's first micro
processor is the Intel-4004 which was released in March 1971. In April 1972 intel released the 8008
processor. After 2 years in April 1974 intel improved micro
processor cheap, The 8080 became a standard
processor in the industry. The
processor handles all the basic systems like keyboard input, processing mouse, and running application. Modern CPU includes multiple processing which includes all together to process instruction. The
AMD Ryzen 3 5300G is a desktop
processor with 4 cores, launched in April 2021. It is part of the Ryzen 3 lineup using the Zen 3 (Cezanne) architecture, including the Socket AM4. Thanks to
AMD Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) the core-count has effectively doubled to 8 threads. The Ryzen 3 5300G has 8MB L3 cache and operates at 4 GHz by default, but can increase up to 4.2 GHz depending on the workload.
AMD is producing Ryzen 3 5300G in 7 nm production process using 10,700 million transistors. The chip's silicone dye is not made at
AMD, but at TSMC's foundry. You can freely adjust the unlocked multiplier on the Ryzen 3 5300G, which greatly simplifies overclocking, as you can easily dial in any overclocking frequency. With a TDP of 65 W, the Ryzen 3 5300G uses normal power levels for a modern PC.
AMD's processor supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel interface. The maximum officially supported memory speed is 3200 MHz, but with overclocking (and the right memory module) you can go even further. To communicate with other components of the system, the Ryzen 3 5300G uses a PCI-Express Gen 4 connection. This
processor contains Radeon Vega 6 integrated graphics solution. Hardware virtualization is available on the Ryzen 3 5300G, which greatly improves the performance of the virtual machine. Programs using the Advanced Vector Extension (AVX) will run on this processor, increasing performance for computational-heavy applications. In addition to the AVX, AMD includes the new AVX2 standard, but not the AVX-512.
AMD Ryzen 3 5300G Review
We recently checked out AMD's
Ryzen 7 5700G and
Ryzen 5 5600G processors featuring Vega graphics in the hope that perhaps these APUs might present a valid stop-gap solution for PC gamers holding out for better graphics card pricing.
As discussed in our review, the
R7 5700G doesn't make sense at the rather high $360 asking price, and we feel
AMD needs to slash about $100 off that price to even consider it. Although it packs 8 cores and 16 threads, the chip packs only half the L3 cache of fully-fledged Zen 3 parts, such as the
Ryzen 7 5800X, meaning the
5700G is much slower for CPU related tasks, including gaming with a discrete GPU.
The more affordable $260
Ryzen 5 5600G is better, though we still believe it's overpriced and should be positioned closer to $200. But we could at least imagine a few scenarios where the
5600G would be a viable option. Now, what many budget-conscious PC gamers were hoping for was a repeat of the
Ryzen 3 3300X, but with integrated graphics for around $160. Basically a Ryzen 3 3400G replacement, but sadly we never got it, sort of.
The Ryzen 3 5300G is a 4-core / 8-thread
processor featuring 6 CU integrated Vega graphics... the problem is, you can't buy it, or at least not without all the bits that make it work. You see, the 5300G is an OEM-only part, but unlike the
5600G and
5700G which spent their first 4 months of existence in OEM only status before being released into the retail channel, the 5300G is set to be an OEM exclusive indefinitely.
The reason for this likely goes down to supply, as
AMD wants to avoid a repeat of the
Ryzen 3 3100 and
3300X. In order to make a 5300G,
AMD is using defective silicon that couldn't be binned for use as a
5600G. The Ryzen 3 only requires 4 working cores, 8MB of L3 cache and 6 CUs.
For
AMD, the 5300G serves two main purposes: it allows them to turn some of that defective silicon into cash, while also allowing them to service the OEM market with budget-friendly Ryzen parts that don't require a discrete graphics card. Thus, they're not interested in releasing a retail 5300G that to meet the inevitable demand, would have to dedicate working silicon that could be used for the
5600G and possibly even the
5700G, silicon they could make them a lot more money. This is why the
Ryzen 3 3100 and
3300X disappeared from shelves so quickly. Yields were good enough that working silicon was destined for use as a
Ryzen 5 3600 and
Ryzen 7 3700X instead than ensuring supply of cheaper Ryzen 3 parts.
The Ryzen 3 5300G isn't a cut down version of the original Zen 3 parts, but rather it's another monolithic die, so it's a Cezanne part and is therefore a cut down version of the
5600G and
5700G, with only a quarter of the cache of the mainstream Ryzen 5000 CPUs. With that big drop in L3 cache, no doubt there's going to be a negative impact on performance, though as we recently discovered, with only 4 cores active, you can get away with a smaller L3 cache as there simply aren't enough cores to take advantage of larger buffers. As for clock specifications, the 5300G boosts to 4.2 GHz with a base frequency of 4 GHz and that means the max boost is 200 MHz lower than the
5600G and 400 MHz lower than the
5700G.
We know why there won't be a retail version of the Ryzen 3 5300G, but if you have the chance to purchase an OEM chip, or are looking at a system using it, how well does it perform? To find out we need to get into the benchmarks, and for this we've split the testing up into three sections...
First, we're going to look exclusively at CPU performance, testing the 5300G in applications using an RTX 2080 Ti so we can compare it to the rest of our CPU data. Second, we want to see how well it works with the Vega iGPU, comparing it with a number of other integrated graphics solutions and entry-level graphics cards.
Then finally, we've also run many discrete GPU tests using the GeForce RTX 3090, allowing us to compare the 5300G to a range of other CPUs with a powerful graphics card, showing us what kind of headroom this APU offers gamers, should they upgrade down the track. Let's get into it.
This processor also has 03 years warranty (No Warranty for Fan or Cooler).
