Only two physical cores
Integrated graphics too weak
No overclocking support at all

Verdict

Our verdict on the Athlon 300GE

A low-power, dual-core AMD APU designed for basic office work, with its integrated Vega graphics being the main draw.

Get it if you need a dirt-cheap office PC or basic media box that sips power and runs silent. Skip it if you plan any gaming, video editing, or multitasking—even a budget chip from a few years back will feel way quicker.
