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

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

One of the most affordable quad-core CPUs on the market, Decent gaming performance, Extremely easy to overclock, Almost matched performance of 1300X once overclocked, Efficient and cool, Easy to keep cool,
None, “The cheapest Ryzen to date is an impressive bit of hardware. Delivering quad-core performance and easy overclocking that’s sure to please those building a system on a tighter budget”, AMD Ryzen 3 1200 Quad-Core CPU Review,
For those building a Ryzen AM4 system on a tighter budget, the Ryzen 3 is a no brainer. The R3 is the most affordable Ryzen chip ever, and it's about half the price of Intel's quad-core offerings, especially the ones that offer overclocking. It runs incre...
AMD's two new Ryzen chips are cheaper than their Intel rivals while offering better multi-threaded performance, comparable power consumption and a little more speed in tough gaming scenarios. Intel's chip is better in single-threaded tasks, but I'd still...
The introduction of a couple of Ryzen 3 processors provides PC enthusiasts with the opportunity of buying into the latest Zen architecture from as little as £100, with AMD targetting the £500-£750 base-unit market through a combination of these chips alli...
Low platform cost, Easy to overclock, Sense MI technologies, Very low thermal output, Great for gamers, Competitive mainstream performance, Neutral, - No RGB Wraith cooler (Why not make them more accessible AMD?), - Same power envelope as Ryzen 7

In our testing, Ryzen 3 has thrown up some dramatically interesting results, and when you consider the updates and optimisations AMD has made since the release of the Ryzen family, it is understandable. Price to compete against the i3 7300 and the i3 7100...
While the numbers are impressive, gaming performance of Ryzen processors still leaves a lot to be desired. Not to mention that not all games have been optimized for the Ryzen processors and DX 12, which can lead to better utilization of multiple CPU cores...
Four physical cores, Efficient AMD Zen architecture, Cooler included
No integrated graphics
AMD has been most relevant in the budget market for the past several years. This is where it retreated to when it couldn't keep up with Intel's advances, and it actually did fairly well by cutting prices and repositioning its formerly-high-end products. A...
To be honest, I'm pretty disappointed with the overclocking potential with the setup we have here. Even overclocking the CPU alone, it can't match the performance of an Intel i5-6400 in stock clocks. Even when it's overclocked, it still trades blows with...

To sum it up, the AMD Ryzen 3 1300X is a phenomenal processor that outperforms the Intel Core i5-7400 on synthetic benchmarks and is on par when it comes to real-world tests, in this case video rendering on Adobe Premiere Pro. The AMD Ryzen 3 1200 on the...
