AMD’s launch of their latest desktop processors has been a huge success, but’s it’s not over just yet. While Threadripper is very close, today AMD are showcasing Ryzen 3, which will offer 4-core/4-thread processors for extremely good prices.
The new Ryzen 3 tier will include the 1200, and 1300X. Both of the CPU’s feature the same 4-core/4-thread spec, with 65W TDP.
1200
Starting from the cheaper model. The 1200 has a 3.1 GHz base clock and 3.4GHz boost clock with 8MB’s lf L3 cache. Pricing is set for €119/$129.
1300X
The 1300x takes the clock speeds up to 3.4Ghz base and 3.7Ghz boost. This is again using the same 65W TDP, and 8MB’s L3 cache. Pricing for the faster quad-core is €139/$129
Ryzen 3 much like 5 and 7, is multiplier unlocked, which means a 1200 could very well be boosted to 3.7GHz. A great speed for such a well priced CPU.
