AMD Athlon 3000G (FH)

The AMD Athlon 3000G (FH) is a Desktop processor in the 3000 series from AMD. It is built on the Zen architecture and produced on a 14 nm process at GlobalFoundries, with 3,500 million transistors on a 148 mm² die. The part has 2 cores and 4 threads, a base clock of 3.50, an unlocked multiplier, and Radeon Vega 3 integrated graphics. Its TDP is 35, and its memory support is dual-channel DDR4 with a bandwidth of 42.7 GB/s. The data set shows no benchmark entries, no nearest rivals, an average benchmark score of 0, and a 50th percentile versus all CPUs.

Platform and Compatibility

The processor uses AMD Socket AM4. The generation field reads Athlon, with the codename Zen (Dali). This is a market-segment Desktop part, and its production status is Active.

Memory support is DDR4 over a dual-channel bus, listed at 42.7 GB/s. ECC memory support is marked true, which matters for systems where data integrity is a concern. The memory path is therefore defined by the DDR4 standard, dual-channel operation, and the listed bandwidth.

For expansion, the CPU provides PCIe Gen 3, 8 Lanes (CPU only). That lane count is the only PCIe figure in the record, and the “CPU only” qualifier appears in the data. Integrated graphics are provided by Radeon Vega 3, so a discrete graphics card is not strictly needed for display output.

The multiplier is unlocked, meaning clock adjustment is not necessarily locked to the base frequency. The data does not include any overclocking results, so the practical headroom is not quantified. The part number field is long and includes three identifiers: YD3000C6M2OFHYD3000C6FHSBXYD3000C6FHMPK.

The release date is 2019-11-19. Launch MSRP is $49.

Upgrade path information is limited because the data set does not list any other AM4 processors. What can be said from the record is that any compatible upgrade would need to fit the AM4 socket, DDR4 memory support, and the PCIe Gen 3 CPU lane arrangement documented here.

Single-Thread vs Multi-Thread Behavior

The core and thread counts are clear: 2 cores and 4 threads. That means the processor can present four logical threads while having two physical cores to execute them. The base clock is listed as 3.50, and the boost clock field is null. There is no documented higher frequency tier, so the data points to a single clock ceiling for both single-threaded and multi-threaded work.

In a single-threaded workload, one core can use its private cache hierarchy: 96 KB of L1 cache per core and 512 KB of L2 cache per core. With no boost clock present, there is no listed mechanism for a single thread to reach a higher frequency than the base clock. The performance of that thread is therefore tied to the 3.50 base clock plus the execution width of one Zen core.

In a multi-threaded workload, the four threads can schedule across two cores. The shared L3 cache is 4 MB, which is the last-level pool available to both cores. Threads that land on the same core will share that core’s L1 and L2 resources. This structure suggests that four-thread workloads will not behave like true four-core workloads, because the physical resource limit is two cores. The data does not include benchmark scores to show the magnitude of that difference, but the structural split is explicit in the core, thread, and cache fields.

Power and Thermals

The TDP is listed as 35. That is the only power-class number in the record. A 35 TDP envelope places this processor in a low thermal class, especially when paired with the 14 nm process node and the described die size of 148 mm².

The manufacturing data includes 3,500 million transistors. Die size and transistor count are documented facts, but no cooling solution is named in the data. The 35 TDP figure implies a modest thermal load, and the absence of a listed boost clock removes the need for extra thermal headroom for a documented higher frequency state.

The unlocked multiplier is the main thermal variable. Overclocking would increase heat output, but the data does not state how much. Without benchmark entries, there is no measured frequency-versus-temperature behavior to analyze.

How It Compares

The nearestRivals field is empty. There are no rival names, no rival scores, and no deltaPct values to quote. As a result, the data cannot support a direct percentage-based comparison to any specific competing processor.

The only comparative position in the data is the percentile field: 50th percentile versus all CPUs. However, the average benchmark score is 0, and the benchmarks array is empty. That means the 50th percentile is not anchored to any recorded score in this entry. It is a positional marker, not a measured performance result.

Because no rivals are listed, any statement about being faster or slower than a specific chip would have to come from outside this record. The documented features—2 cores, 4 threads, a 3.50 base clock, a 35 TDP, dual-channel DDR4 at 42.7 GB/s, and Radeon Vega 3 graphics—are the only available basis for placement.

Who Should Consider It

The workload profile is defined by 2 cores and 4 threads. Tasks that do not require many simultaneous CPU threads are the natural fit: desktop productivity, office-style work, light browsing, and basic media playback. The data set does not include software-specific benchmark scores, so these workload notes are inferred from the core and thread counts rather than measured application results.

Users who want to avoid a discrete GPU can look at the Radeon Vega 3 integrated graphics. That block provides a display path without requiring additional hardware. The dual-channel DDR4 bus and 42.7 GB/s memory bandwidth are modest, but they are consistent with the low core count.

The ECC support field is true, which is a relevant feature for low-power systems that value memory integrity. The unlocked multiplier adds flexibility for users who want to experiment with clock speeds. Heavily threaded workloads, such as rendering or large compilation jobs, are not implied by a 2-core, 4-thread processor with no benchmark scores.

Benchmark Performance

The benchmark data for this entry is empty. The benchmarks array contains no scores, and the nearestRivals array contains no rivals. Because of that, no exact percentage deltas can be calculated from the record.

The average benchmark score is 0. The percentile versus all CPUs is 50. These two numbers appear in the data, but without any actual benchmark entries they do not describe a measured workload result. The 50th percentile could indicate a middle position in a ranked database, yet the empty benchmark array leaves that interpretation unsupported by individual scores.

What remains are the documented numeric characteristics: a base clock of 3.50, 2 cores, 4 threads, 42.7 GB/s memory bandwidth, 96 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, 4 MB of shared L3, 8 PCIe Gen 3 lanes, and a 35 TDP. These values describe the platform and the structural capabilities of the processor. They do not translate into rival deltas because no rival scores or deltaPct values are present in the data set.

In the absence of nearestRivals entries, any claim that this part is a certain percentage ahead of or behind another CPU would not be supported by the fact pack. The only honest benchmark statement is that this record provides insufficient measured data for percentage-based comparison.
