AMD Ryzen 3 5300G APU Overclocked to 5.5 GHz Breaks Quad Core Records
The overclocking of the AMD Ryzen 3 5300G APU has just been put to the test to reach new speed records, supported by a cooled liquid nitrogen solution. Safedisk has managed to bring the Quad Core Zen 3 chip up to 5,5 GHz, making it 37% faster than its normal maximum speed of 4 GHz.
The ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Extreme motherboard has been used in combination with two 8GB Ripjaws V DDR4-2066 (CL14-14-14-28-1T) RAM modules from G.Skill. The slower memory speed puts less pressure on the 5300G Tissue's Infinity than reaching higher frequencies. The overclocked AMD Ryzen 3 5300G APU was tested in various benchmarks, albeit with different maximum clock speeds. At this level of overclocking, system stability sometimes depends on the applications that are running.

The AMD Ryzen 3 5300G APU managed to erase the Y-Cruncher with an overclock of 5.4 GHz in just 53 seconds and 681 ms. With these figures they beat the previous four-core record holder, the Intel Core i7-7740X, clocked at 6.4 GHz. In addition, the Ryzen 3 5300G was able to beat Geekbench at its highest overclock of 5.2 GHz, setting a new world record. of 32 points, about 200% faster than the previous record. The final workload tested was GPUPU 2B, in which the Ryzen APU recorded a score of 1min, 2sec, 2ms at the top frequency of 651GHz, more than a minute faster than the Intel Core i5,52-7X running. runs at over 7740 GHz.
The quad-core Ryzen 3 5300G APU has not yet been released to the consumer market due to component shortages . AMD is prioritizing higher-margin products for the retail, professional, and high-performance computing channels. They have only released the Zen 3 and Vega-powered APU to system integrators.
This AMD Ryzen 3 5300G APU could be highly valued if released to the home or enthusiast market. It would have a very accessible price for retailers and with this news, those who want to have an ideal system for high performance operations and overclocking, would have a very easy option. Of course, these results have been obtained with a liquid nitrogen solution as a refrigerant, so these speeds and efficiency will be available to very few.
