The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G is a desktop processor with 4 cores, launched in April 2024. It is part of the Ryzen 3 lineup, using the Zen 4 (Phoenix) architecture with Socket AM5. Thanks to AMD Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) the core-count is effectively doubled, to 8 threads. Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G has 8 MB of L3 cache and operates at 3.4 GHz by default, but can boost up to 4.9 GHz, depending on the workload. AMD is building the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G on a 4 nm production process using 20,900 million transistors. The silicon die of the chip is not fabricated at AMD, but at the foundry of TSMC. The multiplier is locked on Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G, which limits its overclocking capabilities.
With a TDP of 65 W, the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G consumes typical power levels for a modern PC. AMD's processor supports DDR5 memory with a dual-channel interface. The highest officially supported memory speed is 5200 MT/s, but with overclocking (and the right memory modules) you can go even higher. ECC memory is supported, too, which is an important capability for mission-critical systems, to avoid data corruption. For communication with other components in the computer, Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G uses a PCI-Express Gen 4 connection. This processor features the Radeon 740M integrated graphics solution. Inside the box you will not only find the processor, but also a Wraith Stealth cooler.
Hardware virtualization is available on the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Additionally, IOMMU virtualization (PCI passthrough) is supported, so that guest virtual machines may directly use host hardware. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) will run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications. Besides AVX, AMD has added support for the newer AVX2 and AVX-512 instructions, too.
