WEBVTT 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 00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:12.840 three but now we know that at least it's 00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:16.400 possible congratulations AMD on making 00:00:12.840 --> 00:00:18.000 it to three even if you had to count 00:00:16.400 --> 00:00:26.760 backwards from seven and skip a few numbers in between meet ryzen 3 the 00:00:21.279 --> 00:00:26.760 entry level F you to the team in 00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:35.840 blue 00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:42.800 browse privately and securely with tunnel bear

months like 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 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 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 00:01:05.080 --> 00:01:12.360 the puzzle comes in at 110 to 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 00:01:15.520 --> 00:01:21.439 clear that they saw this coming and felt 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:28.840 like they needed to react where Pentium CPUs have been two core two thread only 00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:31.159 Affairs for several Generations now the 00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:37.360 CPUs that compete with ryzen 3 on pricing are going to For Thread using 00:01:34.720 --> 00:01:45.280 hyperthreading for the first time blurring the lines between Pentium and 00:01:40.880 --> 00:01:47.360 corai 3 which uh oh crap I guess I'm 00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:55.680 finally going to have to redo this three-year-old video but is Intel's 00:01:50.759 --> 00:01:58.840 response even adequate ryen 3 very 00:01:55.680 --> 00:02:02.759 pointedly doesn't have simultaneous 00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:06.759 multi-threading but is instead a fullon 00:02:02.759 --> 00:02:09.879 quad core CPU made up of two of AMD's 00:02:06.759 --> 00:02:13.200 Zen compute complexes or 00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:17.120 CCX this means that while it has only 00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:20.760 half the cash of its ryzen 5 and ryzen 7 00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:24.160 cousins it has all the same features 00:02:20.760 --> 00:02:29.040 that they provide like CMI Precision 00:02:24.160 --> 00:02:32.040 boost and xfr though since AMD is still 00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:34.120 disabling cor symmetrically cash latency 00:02:32.040 --> 00:02:41.159 is technically higher than if they had used a single CCX with four cores and as 00:02:38.440 --> 00:02:47.360 we showed in our ryzen 5 review while this method saves AMD some cost it also 00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:52.879 reduces the amount of total bandwidth available to the cash so the question 00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:56.840 becomes will we see an appreciable loss 00:02:52.879 --> 00:03:01.120 in performance and if so can ryzen 3 00:02:56.840 --> 00:03:03.760 keep up with the best team blue has to 00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:10.680 offer within this price bracket well AMD considers the closest 00:03:07.480 --> 00:03:11.920 price competitor to the ryzen 3300x to 00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:19.360 be the core I 37300 and the ryzen 3200 to be the core 00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:22.239 i37100 and from a pricing standpoint 00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:29.400 this is roughly correct as for performance though AMD actually managed 00:03:25.959 --> 00:03:33.159 to pull out a solid win thanks to ryzen 00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:37.480 3 multi-threaded performance especially 00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:40.400 at these prices consistently in nearly 00:03:37.480 --> 00:03:46.879 every area that doesn't involve purely single-threaded performance both ryzen 3 00:03:43.799 --> 00:03:48.400 chips handly beat out both of their 00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:53.840 Intel competitors unfortunately for AMD that 00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:59.439 doesn't include most current games where dual core core i3s are able to pull off 00:03:56.560 --> 00:04:05.120 higher frame rates but with that said our our use of a clean Windows image for 00:04:02.239 --> 00:04:10.480 our testing doesn't tell us how background processes might affect gaming 00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:15.560 performance on a system that actually 00:04:10.480 --> 00:04:18.160 has just two cores versus four true 00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:24.040 cores but even ignoring that when you crunch the numbers and look at the value 00:04:20.239 --> 00:04:27.320 proposition ryzen 3 makes a lot of sense 00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:30.080 not only does the 1300x never fall 00:04:27.320 --> 00:04:36.360 behind its team blue rival the rise 3 1200 also makes a great showing it is 00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:41.479 certainly looking very bright overall for ryzen 3 when you look at the big 00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:46.960 picture and there's yet another trick uprise and sleeve and that's 00:04:43.479 --> 00:04:48.840 overclocking unlike Intel whose CPUs 00:04:46.960 --> 00:04:55.120 probably have a ton of Headroom in them but are locked for overclocking unless 00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:57.680 you shell out for a K series ryzen 3 is 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 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:08.280 little bit of time doing some tuning gaming performance comes much closer to 00:05:05.320 --> 00:05:14.440 team blue not to mention that it also further increases AMD's lead in 00:05:11.039 --> 00:05:18.240 multi-threaded non-gaming benchmarks our 00:05:14.440 --> 00:05:21.039 ryzen 3200 managed to overclock past the 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:26.639 1300 X's stock clocks making it an incredible value at this speed and this 00:05:24.479 --> 00:05:30.840 price though as always with overclocking your mileage may vary and some 00:05:28.880 --> 00:05:34.720 additional in mment is required for overclocking you'll need an overclocking 00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:40.520 compatible motherboard chip set and a decent cooler the W stealth included in 00:05:36.919 --> 00:05:43.400 the box is fine but it's not enough to 00:05:40.520 --> 00:05:47.400 handle a voltage bump big enough to comfortably overclock it all the way to 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 00:05:49.280 --> 00:05:57.600 juice out of your ryzen 3 should you pick one up and pick one up 00:05:54.639 --> 00:06:03.759 you probably should the platforms matured a lot and ryzen 3 rips back the 00:06:01.440 --> 00:06:09.720 budget Market that AMD has come to rely on since sandybridge and while like the 00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:15.440 rest of its family it doesn't exactly dominate it throws a big old Randy 00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:22.599 Johnson curveball at Team blue and provides a legitimate alternative to 00:06:17.960 --> 00:06:25.080 Value Shoppers who still want great 00:06:22.599 --> 00:06:33.400 performance we are partnering with Razer at LTX 2017 to host a Razer goliathus 00:06:29.520 --> 00:06:35.919 mouse mat design contest the theme is 00:06:33.400 --> 00:06:41.120 well me we're going to see who can design the best linest tech tips themed 00:06:38.400 --> 00:06:45.960 Razer goliathus mouse pad attendees of LTX will be able to submit their designs 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 00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:54.560 which one is the best if you haven't gotten your ticket for LTX 2017 you 00:06:52.479 --> 00:06:58.639 still can at the link below we're hosting it here in Langley BC Canada 00:06:56.919 --> 00:07:04.440 there's going to be tons of cool stuff with some exclusive unboxings including 00:07:01.400 --> 00:07:05.800 a very special one from Razer and 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 00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:15.080 this so thanks
