AMD Ryzen 3 8300G
A four-core, eight-thread AM5 APU that pairs one Zen 4 core and three Zen 4c cores with a 4-CU Radeon 740M. It boosts to 4.9 GHz at a 65 W TDP and supports DDR5-5200 and PCIe 4.0. AMD published no suggested price for it.
Pros
- One full Zen 4 core boosts to 4.9 GHz, and SMT gives eight threads within a 65 W default TDP (45-65 W configurable)
- Radeon 740M (4 CU RDNA 3) at up to 2600 MHz, with DisplayPort 2.1, HDMI 2.1 and AV1 hardware encode and decode
- AM5 platform with DDR5-5200 and up to 256 GB of memory, plus AMD EXPO memory profiles
- Two native USB4 (40 Gbps) ports and two USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) ports in the chip itself
- Listed by AMD with an unlocked multiplier, Precision Boost Overdrive and Curve Optimizer support
Cons
- Only one of the four cores is a full-speed Zen 4; the other three are Zen 4c with a 3.2 GHz base and up to 3.6 GHz boost
- 8 MB of L3 cache is half the 16 MB on the Ryzen 5 8500G and 8600G
- The Radeon 740M has 4 CUs, half the 8 CUs of the 760M in the Ryzen 5 8600G
- PCIe 4.0 only, with 14 native lanes of which 10 are usable
