AMD Athlon 3000G is a processor model from AMD.
You're thinking about assembling a budget PC with AMD components. You're weighing the AMD Athlon 3000G against the Ryzen 3200G, and wondering if the upcoming 5000 series will bring back the Athlon lineup this year. You're considering waiting until December to start your build, aiming for a system powered by Radeon Graphics without buying a dedicated GPU.
Depending on your location, the Ryzen 3 Pro 4350G might fit in various setups, though locating a seller offering it outside a preassembled system at a fair price can be challenging. I think a new Athlon model will likely appear soon, but from what I learned, only a few high-end chips were released first, so you may need to wait a while. If you manage to obtain an Athlon 3000G or 3200G and believe it meets your requirements at a reasonable cost, there’s probably no reason to stress. New APU releases are expected to follow shortly after other products.
Zen 3 Athlon (likely 6xxxG) isn't coming this year, I'm sure of it. APUs? Zen 2 APUs (4xxxG) remain officially OEM-only, which makes sense—why wouldn't AMD make them accessible for those who can't afford OEM deals? Yet we still haven't seen them in August and September this year. Honestly, I don't know what AMD is really thinking.
Their output likely falls short, probably due to insufficient manufacturing ability. They won’t be able to provide enough chips for the 4000-series mobile processor.
