There are two version of Athlon 3000G.
YD3000C6FHBOX based on Dali core name based on original raven ridge (zen)
YD3000C6FBBOX based on original raven ridge (zen)
(I am talking about retail box pack only, not OEM)

AMD originally released the FH model, later they released a new version without announcing it. Dont know why AMD done it, may be due to chip shortage?

-FH are mostly made in China
-FB are mostly made in Malaysia
-FB mostly released in low income market like Indonesia, Malaysia, India etc
-FB is basically exact copy of Athlon 240GE which is rebranded as 3000g, speed increased, unlocked
-FB is rare and hardly 5% of all 3000g, even AMD page mentions FH model only.
-windows 11 only support FH model since its most popular
-all 3000g are based on Zen architecture. There is no Zen+ / Picasso version
-Gigabyte website is showing two 3000g with Revision 0 being FB and Revision 1 being FH further confirm it.
-Model number of Athlon 220GE/240GE also ends with FB

This is the reason that your AMD Athlon 3000 G doesn’t work with Wndows 11

Windows 11 Needs at least Picasso microarchitectures succeeding Raven Ridge

for box version of athlon 3000g
YD3000C6FBBOX the one (I have is Raven Ridge)
YD3000C6FHBOX is the Picasso

for Tray Version
YD3000C6M2OFB = Raven Ridge
YD3000C6M2OFH = Picasso

(FB) = Raven Ridge
(FH) = Picasso
