The final data of the AMD Ryzen 3 1200 and AMD Ryzen 3 1300X processors are known, as well as their price, which has to compete with the entry-level range of gamer equipment.

Possibly the most anticipated processors on the market within the entry range are the AMD Ryzen 3, which have taken a long time to reach the market and are a priori, the ideal solution for entry-level gaming equipment. These processors will have four cores and four processing threads, with a 65W TDP. We first have the Ryzen 3 1200, which will have a base frequency of 3.1GHz and 3.5GHz in Boost mode, which will cost $ 109. We have in second place the Ryzen 3 1300X, which will have a base frequency of 3.5GHz and a Boost mode of 3.7GHz, this processor initially costing $ 129.

These AMD processors will compete with the Intel Core i3, not so much in power, but in performance / consumption. Based on the PCMark results, the Ryzen 3 1200 offers quite similar performance to the i5 3570K, a processor that has been around for some time and offers excellent performance. The truth is that this processor looks pretty good, especially if we have the performance compared to the six-core FX 6300 processors. This processor is expected to be above Intel's Core i3 solutions and slightly underperforming the Core i5s from the Skylake and Kaby Lake families.

They stand out from these Ryzen 3 processors, not so much the performance, but the price, being these really cheap and that will be the ones chosen in our budgets for entry gaming. These will be the processors that compete specifically with the Pentium G4560, the ones that are staying with the entry gaming market. What we are missing for the moment are the first benchmarks in gaming, which is where these processors should really make a difference.
