Testing the AMD Athlon 3000G with a discrete GPU, as well as its own integrated graphics, in modern & popular games.

Nobody makes dual core CPUs any more, at least not for the current desktop PC platforms. In fact, nobody was asking for a benchmarking video of a dual core CPU either, and yet here I am, making just such a video. Are dual cores really dead in 2025? Is there a spark of hope for those looking to rock an Athlon 3000G in modern games? Did I waste hours of my time and 13 minutes of your life to draw an obvious conclusion?
