AMD Ryzen 3 3250U Review

The AMD Ryzen 3 3250U is a 2-core, 4-thread entry-level processor built on Zen+, running a 2.6 GHz base clock that boosts to 3.5 GHz within a 15 Watt TDP.

As a modest refresh of the earlier Ryzen 3 2200U, this chip's Zen+ architecture brings small but real per-core efficiency gains within the same entry-level positioning.

AMD Radeon Vega 3

A basic 3-compute-unit Vega iGPU, adequate for display output and light everyday use.

How Is the Ryzen 3 3250U in Terms of Performance

With 2 cores and a modest clock ceiling, this chip remains built for the most basic computing tasks, with Zen+'s architectural refinements offering a small but real improvement over the previous-generation Zen-based 2200U.

Benchmarks

Geekbench 5 multi-core scores of 1,439 and single-core scores of 674 place this chip at the entry tier, closely tracking the previous-generation Ryzen 3 2200U's figures given the modest architectural refresh between the two.
