Introduction



We are exploring the performance of the AMD Athlon 3000G APU and its integrated Vega 3 graphics.  The AMD Athlon 3000G is a dual-core APU at 3.5 GHz with integrated Vega 3 graphics iGPU at 1100MHz. In our previous performance review, we dove into the CPU performance of the AMD Athlon 3000G on an AMD B450 motherboard.  We even overclocked the CPU and showed how well it can overclock.  Our comparison was a Laptop with an AMD Ryzen 5 3500U APU, which is based on the same architecture as the 3000G APU. Now it is time to look at the gaming performance the Vega 3 graphics integrated into this APU allow on the 3000G.  To make the same comparison we will continue to use our...
