AMD Ryzen 3 3100 & Ryzen 3 3300x review:
AMD has today introduced two new processors in its 3rd-generation Ryzen line-up of desktop CPUs that use the Zen-2 architecture. The two new processors are the Ryzen 3 3100 and the Ryzen 3 3300X, and will be available in May 2020 starting at $99.
Both the Ryzen 3 3100 and Ryzen 3 3300X are quad-core processors with a rated TDP of 65W. They also feature 18MB cache for reducing memory latency, and AMD claims that it results in “smoother, faster gaming performance for high framerates in CPU-heavy games.”
The Ryzen 3 3100 comes with a base clock speed of 3.6GHz and a boost frequency of 3.9GHz, whereas the Ryzen 3 3300X has a base frequency of 3.8GHz and a boost frequency of 4.3GHz. Both the processors support AMD’s “Simultaneous Multi-Threading” technology for increased productivity.
The company hasn’t given out much in the way of performance numbers, but for the Ryzen 3 3100, AMD does mention that it performs 20% better in gaming and 75% better in creator apps than its competition. AMD tested the 3100 against the Core i3-9100, and its own Ryzen 3 2300X with games running on High settings at 1080p, and a variety of benchmarks.
AMD says that the new Ryzen 3 processors are expected to be available in May. The Ryzen 3 3100 is expected to be priced at $99, while the Ryzen 3 3300X is expected to be priced at $120.
