1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:09,800 depending who you ask it can take a lot of effort and a lot of time to get to 2 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:12,840 three but now we know that at least it's 3 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:16,400 possible congratulations AMD on making 4 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:18,000 it to three even if you had to count 5 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:26,760 backwards from seven and skip a few numbers in between meet ryzen 3 the 6 00:00:21,279 --> 00:00:26,760 entry level F you to the team in 7 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:35,840 blue 8 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:42,800 browse privately and securely with

for the past 6 months like 11 00:00:48,559 --> 00:00:56,920 I did that one time this release might have snuck up on you it's okay we get it 12 00:00:55,079 --> 00:01:01,640 money doesn't grow on trees you got bills to pay and mouths to feed my right 13 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:09,520 well AMD figures there's a lot of Truth to that and ryzen 3 the Final piece of 14 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:12,360 the puzzle comes in at 110 to 15 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:18,560 $130 and if you look at what Intel's done with kbl lak's Pentium lineup it is 16 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:21,439 clear that they saw this coming and felt 17 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:28,840 like they needed to react where Pentium CPUs have been two core two thread only 18 00:01:25,079 --> 00:01:31,159 Affairs for several Generations now the 19 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:37,360 CPUs that compete with ryzen 3 on pricing are going to For Thread using 20 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:45,280 hyperthreading for the first time blurring the lines between Pentium and 21 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:47,360 corai 3 which uh oh crap I guess I'm 22 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:55,680 finally going to have to redo this three-year-old video but is Intel's 23 00:01:50,759 --> 00:01:58,840 response even adequate ryen 3 very 24 00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:02,759 pointedly doesn't have simultaneous 25 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:06,759 multi-threading but is instead a fullon 26 00:02:02,759 --> 00:02:09,879 quad core CPU made up of two of AMD's 27 00:02:06,759 --> 00:02:13,200 Zen compute complexes or 28 00:02:09,879 --> 00:02:17,120 CCX this means that while it has only 29 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:20,760 half the cash of its ryzen 5 and ryzen 7 30 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:24,160 cousins it has all the same features 31 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:29,040 that they provide like CMI Precision 32 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:32,040 boost and xfr though since AMD is still 33 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:34,120 disabling cor symmetrically cash latency 34 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:41,159 is technically higher than if they had used a single CCX with four cores and as 35 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:47,360 we showed in our ryzen 5 review while this method saves AMD some cost it also 36 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:52,879 reduces the amount of total bandwidth available to the cash so the question 37 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:56,840 becomes will we see an appreciable loss 38 00:02:52,879 --> 00:03:01,120 in performance and if so can ryzen 3 39 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:03,760 keep up with the best team blue has to 40 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:10,680 offer within this price bracket well AMD considers the closest 41 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,920 price competitor to the ryzen 3300x to 42 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:19,360 be the core I 37300 and the ryzen 3200 to be the core 43 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:22,239 i37100 and from a pricing standpoint 44 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:29,400 this is roughly correct as for performance though AMD actually managed 45 00:03:25,959 --> 00:03:33,159 to pull out a solid win thanks to ryzen 46 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:37,480 3 multi-threaded performance especially 47 00:03:33,159 --> 00:03:40,400 at these prices consistently in nearly 48 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:46,879 every area that doesn't involve purely single-threaded performance both ryzen 3 49 00:03:43,799 --> 00:03:48,400 chips handly beat out both of their 50 00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:53,840 Intel competitors unfortunately for AMD that 51 00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:59,439 doesn't include most current games where dual core core i3s are able to pull off 52 00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:05,120 higher frame rates but with that said our our use of a clean Windows image for 53 00:04:02,239 --> 00:04:10,480 our testing doesn't tell us how background processes might affect gaming 54 00:04:07,439 --> 00:04:15,560 performance on a system that actually 55 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:18,160 has just two cores versus four true 56 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:24,040 cores but even ignoring that when you crunch the numbers and look at the value 57 00:04:20,239 --> 00:04:27,320 proposition ryzen 3 makes a lot of sense 58 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:30,080 not only does the 1300x never fall 59 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:36,360 behind its team blue rival the rise 3 1200 also makes a great showing it is 60 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:41,479 certainly looking very bright overall for ryzen 3 when you look at the big 61 00:04:38,759 --> 00:04:46,960 picture and there's yet another trick uprise and sleeve and that's 62 00:04:43,479 --> 00:04:48,840 overclocking unlike Intel whose CPUs 63 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:55,120 probably have a ton of Headroom in them but are locked for overclocking unless 64 00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:57,680 you shell out for a K series ryzen 3 is 65 00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:02,320 fully unlocked just like the ryzen 5 and ryzen 7 lineups and when you you spend a 66 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:08,280 little bit of time doing some tuning gaming performance comes much closer to 67 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:14,440 team blue not to mention that it also further increases AMD's lead in 68 00:05:11,039 --> 00:05:18,240 multi-threaded non-gaming benchmarks our 69 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:21,039 ryzen 3200 managed to overclock past the 70 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:26,639 1300 X's stock clocks making it an incredible value at this speed and this 71 00:05:24,479 --> 00:05:30,840 price though as always with overclocking your mileage may vary and some 72 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:34,720 additional in mment is required for overclocking you'll need an overclocking 73 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:40,520 compatible motherboard chip set and a decent cooler the W stealth included in 74 00:05:36,919 --> 00:05:43,400 the box is fine but it's not enough to 75 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:47,400 handle a voltage bump big enough to comfortably overclock it all the way to 76 00:05:45,639 --> 00:05:51,400 the Mac so be prepared to spend a little more if you want to squeeze some extra 77 00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:57,600 juice out of your ryzen 3 should you pick one up and pick one up 78 00:05:54,639 --> 00:06:03,759 you probably should the platforms matured a lot and ryzen 3 rips back the 79 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:09,720 budget Market that AMD has come to rely on since sandybridge and while like the 80 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:15,440 rest of its family it doesn't exactly dominate it throws a big old Randy 81 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:22,599 Johnson curveball at Team blue and provides a legitimate alternative to 82 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:25,080 Value Shoppers who still want great 83 00:06:22,599 --> 00:06:33,400 performance we are partnering with Razer at LTX 2017 to host a Razer goliathus 84 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:35,919 mouse mat design contest the theme is 85 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:41,120 well me we're going to see who can design the best linest tech tips themed 86 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:45,960 Razer goliathus mouse pad attendees of LTX will be able to submit their designs 87 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:50,240 online Razer will select the top four and then it will be up to you to vote on 88 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:54,560 which one is the best if you haven't gotten your ticket for LTX 2017 you 89 00:06:52,479 --> 00:06:58,639 still can at the link below we're hosting it here in Langley BC Canada 90 00:06:56,919 --> 00:07:04,440 there's going to be tons of cool stuff with some exclusive unboxings including 91 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,800 a very special one from Razer and 92 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:11,680 something about teasing an upcoming review don't miss it I don't know what that means Colton wrote 93 00:07:09,319 --> 00:07:15,080 this so thanks for watching guys if this video sucked you know what to do but if 94 00:07:13,199 -->
