AMD Ryzen 3 8300G specs
The complete Ryzen 8000G series is founded on the Zen 4 architecture, which was previously utilized in the Ryzen 7000 series CPUs, but there are additional improvement in other areas besides this. In particular, the onboard graphics is getting a big overhaul, which should hopefully see these AMD APUs compete well with the Intel 14th gen range.
For this specific SKU, the onboard graphics comes by way of the Radeon 740M, which is the same iGPU as that in the Ryzen 5 8500G. It’s important to note that some of the AI advancements in the range aren’t found in this particular SKU. The APU models with these features are limited to the most powerful models in the range: the Ryzen 7 8700G and Ryzen 5 8600G.
