AMD Athlon 240GE
Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The AMD Athlon 240GE was a noteworthy processor from AMD upon its release. It is based on the Zen+ architecture, known under the codename Raven Ridge. It was manufactured using the 14nm process. A clear advantage of this chip is its integrated graphics unit. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 3 provided solid performance for common everyday applications at the time.

It was even sufficient for light gaming. The AMD Athlon 240GE still offers a reliable foundation for basic office tasks and relaxed internet browsing today. It often finds its place in systems designed for reliability and low energy consumption. The connection via PCIe 3.0 corresponded to the standard at the time.

It was more than sufficient for most requirements. With 4 MB of Level 3 cache, the processor can process smaller data packets well. The maximum memory bandwidth of 43 GB/s supports the integrated graphics solution excellently. Anyone looking for an inexpensive chip for a straightforward system will still find the AMD Athlon 240GE a sensible choice.

Its design as an APU makes it very versatile. It is ideally suited for compact computers, for example, as a media center.
  • Integrated AMD Radeon RX Vega 3 Graphics
  • Suitable for reliable and energy-efficient systems
  • Solid performance for everyday tasks
  • Versatile for use in compact PCs
