AMD Ryzen 3 5300G APU Overclocked To 5.5 GHz & Breaks Multiple Quad-Core CPU World Records 2

The AMD Ryzen 3 5300G is one Cezanne APU that AMD hasn't released for the DIY segment yet but it offers an insane amount of overclocking performance as demonstrated by renowned Safedisk, a renowned overclocker from South Korea.

While the launch of the AMD Ryzen 5000G Desktop APUs in the DIY market has been tremendously successful, the Ryzen 3 5300G would have made it even better. The thing about the Ryzen 3 5300G is that it's a quad-core APU with lots of overclocking potential and should have had a price close to $110-$130 US. That along with a Vega iGPU should have made it the perfect budget solution for PC gamers on a tight budget.

The overclocking session included a test rig that was equipped with the AMD Ryzen 3 5300G APU, the newly launched ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Extreme motherboard, and 16 GB of G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-2066 (CL14-14-14-28-1T) memory. A maximum of 5.52 GHz overclock was achieved & while that isn't the fastest frequency achieved on the Ryzen 5000G APUs, it's definitely the fastest clock speed used for benchmarking.

So coming to the benchmarks, in Y-Cruncher (AMD Ryzen 3 5300G @ 5.4 GHz), the APU achieved a score of 53 sec & 681ms which is much faster than what the Core i7-7740X, the previous fastest 4-core CPU, was able to achieve with an overclock of 6.4 GHz. The same is the case in Geekbench where the Ryzen 3 5300G (5.52 GHz) achieves a score of 32200 points that is around 2% faster than the previous record. Finally, we have GPUPU 1B in which the APU posted a score of 2min, 2sec, 651 ms at 5.52 GHz which is more than a minute faster than the Core i7-7740X running at over 7 GHz.

AMD Ryzen 3 5300G APU HwBot Rankings:

We have previously seen the AMD Ryzen 3 5300G overclocked up to 5.6 GHz using LN2 cooling but the benchmarks here speak for themselves that this tiny APU has a lot of power-packed within it. If only the APU was to launch in the DIY market, consumers and overclockers would be having a fun time with it.
