Product overview Released November 19, 2019, the Athlon 3000G is an AM4 Athlon 3000‑series APU built on AMD’s Zen architecture with Radeon Vega graphics. It’s a 2‑core/4‑thread, 3.5 GHz, 35 W part aimed at very low‑cost desktops.
Positioned in the entry tier, it exists to power budget AM4 builds with usable integrated graphics and an easy upgrade path to a discrete GPU later. It’s well‑suited to office/productivity and everyday PCs; the iGPU handles basic display and light esports while DDR4‑2667 keeps platform costs down. Notably, it has an unlocked multiplier. AMD has continued shipping it (with refreshed packaging in 2025), so it is not discontinued.
