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.
