That means it's 16MB of 元 cache is split across two separate slices (2x8MB), which introduces latency, and inter-core latency is higher, too. This scalable approach also extends out to eight chiplets (64 cores) for data center chips, but AMD only uses a single CCD for the Ryzen 3 processors.ĪMD splits each CCD into two four-core clusters called Core Complexes (CCX), and the Ryhas two active cores present on each CCX (2+2). AMD simply disables or enables cores based on the SKU, so this basic design comprises chips from four to 16 cores. Ryzen 3 3300X and 3100 Zen 2 ArchitectureĪMD's typical Zen 2 desktop architecture consists of up to two chiplets (CCD), each housing eight 7nm cores, that are tied to a 12nm central I/O Die (IOD) via the Infinity Fabric. That makes Intel's decision to get rid of an overclockable Core i3 model a possible Achilles heel. As you'll see today, the overclockable Coffee Lake Refresh i3-9350K is a powerful gaming chip once you dial up the voltage and clocks, but the Ryzen 3 3300X is beastly in its own right: We achieved a 4.5 GHz overclock. Intel's Comet Lake chips do look competitive from a performance standpoint, but the company inexplicably discarded its overclockable Core i3 processor for this generation. You'll have to drop down to Intel's Pentium lineup to find a sub-$100 chip that matches the Ryzen 3 3100, though the Core i5-9100F can be found on sale at times. And you'll need new boards for those Intel chips, with the new LGA 1200 socket, while AMD's offerings will drop into any number of existing AM4 motherboards. You'll have to dip down further to the $122 Core i3-10100 to find the 3300X price equivalent, and it comes with a lower base frequency and less 元 cache.
AMD RYZEN 3 3100 FULL
That leaves us with a bit of time before we can see the full impact of Intel's addition of higher clock frequencies and hyper-threading to the Core i3 lineup, in effect creating its own 'new' Core i7-7700K for the low end with its $154 Core i3-10320.īut as we often see, Intel's pricing sticks out here. We're on the cusp of Intel's Comet Lake launch, and early indicators are that Intel will prioritize its high-end processors, so the lower-end chips that fall into the same bracket as Ryzen 3 won't be immediately available. AMD's pending (though not yet officially announced) Ryzen 4000 APUs for the desktop will come with the Zen 2 architecture in the future. Instead, they focus on super low-end gaming. Still, their processing cores aren't nearly as fast as the Zen 2 cores in the new Ryzen 3 models. If you're looking for a processor with integrated graphics, AMD has its previous-gen Zen+ based architecture paired with the RX Vega graphics engine in its Ryzen 5 3400G and Ryzen 3 3200G APUs.
AMD's Eco Mode, which unlocks better power/thermal efficiency by downshifting to a lower TDP tier (35W in this case), also looks promising with the 65W Ryzen 3 models.
The same Ryzen 3000 dual-channel DDR4 memory controllers carry over, so memory overclocking is simple and a known quantity. Both chips come with 16MB of 元 cache (more info below) and support for up to DDR4-3200 memory at stock settings. The adaptive Precision Boost 2 clocking mechanism also serves up the best performance possible given your other components, like the cooler, power supply, and motherboard. The Ryzen 3 chips serve up plenty of performance from their four cores and eight threads, but you'll need to step up a tier to the six-core 12-thread Ry(or higher) if you're looking for intense performance in threaded productivity apps, multitasking, or game streaming/recording.īut if you're focused on gaming with a discrete GPU and mainstream types of applications, the Ryzen 3 processors fit the bill with surprisingly high base clocks that rival Intel's finest Comet Lake chips. The new 65W Ryzen chips lower the bar for entry to Zen 2 from $199 with the Ryto $99 for the Ryzen 3 3100.
Still, you'll have to wait until June for those. You also get access to the PCIe 4.0 interface, which unlocks twice the connectivity bandwidth of comparable Intel chips, and AMD has its upcoming price-conscious B550 motherboards that support the interface. You will need a beefier cooler for serious overclocking with the 3300X, though.
The chips come with AMD's generally lax segmentation, so you get hyper-threading on both chips (which forced Intel to match with its upcoming processors), a bundled Wraith Stealth cooler (which could be better, honestly), and unlocked multipliers that enable overclocking on almost all AM4 chipsets (except A320). AMD's Ryzen 3 silicon is just the start of the value prop, though.
