AMD Quad-Core Ryzen 3 5300G Gets Overclocked to 5.6 GHz

It wasn’t that long ago that 5.0 GHz was considered the upper limits of a 4C/8T processor, but those days are gone. An overclocker has taken the new Ryzen 3 5300G APU to 5.6 GHz on all cores with an ASUS ROG Strix B550-I Gaming motherboard, 16 GB of DDR4 RAM running at 4,600MHz, and exotic cooling. This is quite the achievement, as the processor has a base/boost clock of 4.0 GHz/4.2 GHz. With a TDP of only 65 watts and rumored price of $159, this APU looks promising for those on a budget. This is not the first Ryzen 3 5000 Series to break the 5.0 GHz barrier, however. Such clock speeds can be safely achieved (albeit perhaps not as high as this) with CTR Clock Tuner.

Wow that is actually very impressive.

All these nice APU's and no place to get them. Torn between pulling the trigger on a 4750G or holding out for 5600/5700G, then this MF'r comes along.
Probably OEM crap to found on the grey market.

Very good sign - clockspeed limitations have limited AMDs single-core potential to a degree, and a result like this shows that it's possible for that limit to be raised.

Probably OEM

Yeah, that's the current rumor for these. If true, somebody in marketing really needs a wake-up call because this could be a highly sought-after item.
