depending who you ask it can take a lot of effort and a lot of time to get to
three but now we know that at least it's
possible congratulations AMD on making
it to three even if you had to count
backwards from seven and skip a few numbers in between meet ryzen 3 the
entry level F you to the team in

I did that one time this release might have snuck up on you it's okay we get it
money doesn't grow on trees you got bills to pay and mouths to feed my right
well AMD figures there's a lot of Truth to that and ryzen 3 the Final piece of
the puzzle comes in at 110 to
$130 and if you look at what Intel's done with kbl lak's Pentium lineup it is
clear that they saw this coming and felt
like they needed to react where Pentium CPUs have been two core two thread only
Affairs for several Generations now the
CPUs that compete with ryzen 3 on pricing are going to For Thread using
hyperthreading for the first time blurring the lines between Pentium and
corai 3 which uh oh crap I guess I'm
finally going to have to redo this three-year-old video but is Intel's
response even adequate ryen 3 very
pointedly doesn't have simultaneous
multi-threading but is instead a fullon
quad core CPU made up of two of AMD's
Zen compute complexes or
CCX this means that while it has only
half the cash of its ryzen 5 and ryzen 7
cousins it has all the same features
that they provide like CMI Precision
boost and xfr though since AMD is still
disabling cor symmetrically cash latency
is technically higher than if they had used a single CCX with four cores and as
we showed in our ryzen 5 review while this method saves AMD some cost it also
reduces the amount of total bandwidth available to the cash so the question
becomes will we see an appreciable loss
in performance and if so can ryzen 3
keep up with the best team blue has to
offer within this price bracket well AMD considers the closest
price competitor to the ryzen 3300x to
be the core I 37300 and the ryzen 3200 to be the core
i37100 and from a pricing standpoint
this is roughly correct as for performance though AMD actually managed
to pull out a solid win thanks to ryzen
3 multi-threaded performance especially
at these prices consistently in nearly
every area that doesn't involve purely single-threaded performance both ryzen 3
chips handly beat out both of their
Intel competitors unfortunately for AMD that
doesn't include most current games where dual core core i3s are able to pull off
higher frame rates but with that said our our use of a clean Windows image for
our testing doesn't tell us how background processes might affect gaming
performance on a system that actually
has just two cores versus four true
cores but even ignoring that when you crunch the numbers and look at the value
proposition ryzen 3 makes a lot of sense
not only does the 1300x never fall
behind its team blue rival the rise 3 1200 also makes a great showing it is
certainly looking very bright overall for ryzen 3 when you look at the big
picture and there's yet another trick uprise and sleeve and that's
overclocking unlike Intel whose CPUs
probably have a ton of Headroom in them but are locked for overclocking unless
you shell out for a K series ryzen 3 is
fully unlocked just like the ryzen 5 and ryzen 7 lineups and when you you spend a
little bit of time doing some tuning gaming performance comes much closer to
team blue not to mention that it also further increases AMD's lead in
multi-threaded non-gaming benchmarks our
ryzen 3200 managed to overclock past the
1300 X's stock clocks making it an incredible value at this speed and this
price though as always with overclocking your mileage may vary and some
additional in mment is required for overclocking you'll need an overclocking
compatible motherboard chip set and a decent cooler the W stealth included in
the box is fine but it's not enough to
handle a voltage bump big enough to comfortably overclock it all the way to
the Mac so be prepared to spend a little more if you want to squeeze some extra
juice out of your ryzen 3 should you pick one up and pick one up
you probably should the platforms matured a lot and ryzen 3 rips back the
budget Market that AMD has come to rely on since sandybridge and while like the
rest of its family it doesn't exactly dominate it throws a big old Randy
Johnson curveball at Team blue and provides a legitimate alternative to
Value Shoppers who still want great
performance we are partnering with Razer at LTX 2017 to host a Razer goliathus
mouse mat design contest the theme is
well me we're going to see who can design the best linest tech tips themed
Razer goliathus mouse pad attendees of LTX will be able to submit their designs
online Razer will select the top four and then it will be up to you to vote on
which one is the best if you haven't gotten your ticket for LTX 2017 you
still can at the link below we're hosting it here in Langley BC Canada
there's going to be tons of cool stuff with some exclusive unboxings including
a very special one from Razer and
something about teasing an upcoming review don't miss it I don't know what that means Colton wrote
