Technical Analysis

Detailed breakdown of Ryzen 3 4300GE specifications and capabilities.

Processing Power

The Ryzen 3 4300GE is a 4-core / 8-thread processor based on the Renoir (2020−2023) architecture, manufactured on a 7 nm process node. It reaches a maximum boost clock of 4 GHz from a base frequency of 3.5 GHz— higher boost clocks directly translate to better single-threaded performance and responsiveness in gaming. It carries 4 MB (total) of L3 cache, plus 512K (per core) of L2 cache and 64K (per core) of L1 cache per core. In the PassMark benchmark (a comprehensive multi-threaded test), it scores 11,239, placing it in the Budget performance tier as a Aging generation product. Geekbench 6 single-core (the most relevant metric for gaming FPS) records 1,472, while multi-core reaches 5,063. Cinebench R23 multi-core (measuring sustained rendering workload performance) scores 5,800.
