AMD's entry-level Ryzen 3 1200 CPU is a good pick for gaming or general computing, edging out Intel's pricier Core i3. But if performance is key to you, the higher-clocked Ryzen 3 1300X is a better buy for $20 more.
AMD's Ryzen 3 1200 is aggressively priced at $110, which makes it the most affordable Ryzen available. With clock frequencies ranging from 3.1 GHz Base to 3.4 GHz Boost, it is clocked not much different than the Ryzen 5 1400, which also has four physical cores, but includes the SMT technology on top.
In an all new first, entry levels processors are going quad-core. AMD is at it again with their Ryzen 3 series processors, in this review we test their Ryzen 3 1200 and 1300X. That means you can gain ... Introduction
HotHardware takes a look at the affordably priced, quad-core AMD Ryzen 3 processor family, which targets Intel's mainstream Core i3 CPU line-up.
AMD first started competing with Intel in the early 80s. Their 286 and 386 processors were positioned as affordable (and inferior) clones to Intel’s CPUs. When Intel laid down a lawsuit, it seemed like AMD would be a short-lived competitor in an increasingly monopolized marketplace, but AMD fought back. The K5 couldn’t quite keep up with the Pentium, but the K6 had some pretty impressive benchmarks. Before long, AMD was considered the top dog by many enthusiasts. They were the first to release a 1 Ghz CPU, and their Duron series processors proved to be impressive overclockers. Even when the
AMD debuts its Ryzen 3 1300X and Ryzen 3 1200 processors today and we have ran them through their paces to see how they perform.
Introduction Ryzen 3 1200 Ryzen has gotten off to one very impressive start this year. We were blown away by the blazing performance and competitive prices of the Ryzen 7 series. Following that, we saw incredible value and gaming performance from their mid-range Ryzen 5 processors. Finally, we're onto their most affordable Ryzen processors to date, the Ryzen 3. Check out the Ryzen 3 1300X Review here! With incredibly affordable prices, the Ryzen 3 chips are sure to be a big hit for many system builders. However, can their quad-core designs still deliver the grunt needed for modern gaming? We're
