The AMD Ryzen 3 Specifications & Availability

The new AMD Ryzen 3 processors have 4 cores, and handle up to 4 simultaneous threads – one per core. This is because the Ryzen 3 processors do not support SMT (simultaneous multi-processing). Those who want SMT capability should look at their Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 5 brethren instead. AMD is launching the Ryzen 3 series with two processor models –  the AMD Ryzen 3 1300X and the AMD Ryzen 3 1200.

The AMD Ryzen 3 1300X has a base clock of 3.5 GHz and a boost clock of 3.7 GHz. The AMD Ryzen 3 1200, on the other hand, has a base clock of 3.1 GHz and a boost clock of 3.4 GHz. They both support XFR (eXtended Frequency Range). Here is a comparison of their specifications :

Specifications AMD Ryzen 3

XFR Speed 3.9 GHz 3.45 GHz
L2 Cache Size 2 MB 2 MB
L3 Cache Size 8 MB 8 MB
Max. TDP 65 W 65 W

Like the Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 5 processors, the AMD Ryzen 3 processors use Socket AM4, and are therefore compatible with all AM4 motherboards, using the X370, B350 or A320 chipsets. They will both be on shelves on 27 July 2017.
