The R3 1200 overclocks well (even for a Ryzen CPU) and doing so put it nearly on par with the i57500. Overclocking is enabled by low temps
Low power
The editors didn't like
Lacks thread-doubling SMT tech of pricier Ryzen chips
Better-performing
Higher-clocked Ryzen 3 1300X costs just $20 more
Typically Trails Core i3 In Single-Thread Workloads
Moderate Overclocking
Lacks integrated graphics
Significantly slower than the Ryzen 3 1300X
Low single-thread performance takes away the Ryzen "wow factor"
Gaming performance doesn't match up to competing Intel parts

The R3 1300X is less attractive than the 1200 considering it costs $20 more and only overclocks another 100MHz

These Ryzen 3 CPUs with a 65 Watt TDP are much more power efficient than older Bulldozer CPUs at 125 Watts when in some tests offering similar performance, but not quite up to the performance-per-Watt Intel has with Kabylake (i3-7100 at 51 Watt TDP for re...
IntroAfter launching Ryzen 7 (high-end) and Ryzen 5 (mainstream) lineups, AMD released last week the Ryzen 3 entry CPUs. There are two new models: the Ryzen 3 1300X (3.5 GHz base clock, 3.7 GHz turbo clock) and the Ryzen 3 1200 (3.1 GHz base clock, 3.4 GH...

The R3 1200 is in a significantly more advantaged position than the 1300X, and continues the interesting trend AMD has going with its stack. Just like with the R7 series, it seems most wise to purchase the lower-tier unit of the R3 CPUs – as they are both...

AMD's entry-level Ryzen CPU is a good pick for gaming or general computing, edging out Intel's pricier Core i3. But if performance is key to you, the higher-clocked Ryzen 3 1300X is a better buy for $20 more. Read More...

For the mainstream consumer and market, we now have a complete picture of the Ryzen CPU family from AMD and I am impressed by the performance, capability, and completeness of the lineup. In a matter of just a few months, AMD has gone from irrelevant to re...
The AMD Ryzen 3 series of processors are priced below $130 and for that price the performed pretty well in our testing. These aren't exactly exciting processors, but they are quad-core processors that handle most multi-threaded workloads with ease. The AM...
Abstract: It all seems like a blur now, but as August approaches it will be a year since AMD's announcement of the “ZEN” CPU core architecture ("designed from the ground up with optimal balance of performance and power") at the Hot Chips 28 Symposium on High Perfor...

Before we issue a verdict on the Ryzen 3 duo, it's time once again to sum up our gaming and productivity data using our famous value scatter plots. To make our higher-is-better visualization work, we've converted the geometric mean of each chip's 99th-pe...

If you're one of those people who value your Internet Tough-Guy reputation and think that unless you're running i9-7900X on a custom waterloop with Quad-SLI then your system is worthless, then kindly stop at this point and take your smug lies elsewhere.Fo...
