AMD has announced<\/strong><\/a> two new 3000-series Ryzen 3 desktop processors for high-performance mainstream gaming and computing.<\/p>\n

The AMD Ryzen 3 3100 and 3300X each boast four cores and eight threads, delivering twice the multitasking capabilities of the previous generation.<\/p>\n

These are also the first Ryzen 3 desktop processors to offer Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT) technology.<\/p>\n

“Taking advantage of the AMD world-class portfolio of technologies, these new Ryzen 3 desktop processors bring the groundbreaking ‘Zen 2’ core architecture to business users, gamers, and creators worldwide,” AMD said.<\/p>\n

Specifications<\/h3>\n

The Ryzen 3 3100 features a base clock speed of 3.6GHz which can be boosted up to 3.9GHz, while the 3300X boasts a base clock running at 3.8GHz and a maximum boost clock speed of up to 4.3GHz.<\/p>\n

Each processor carries 18MB of Cache, which AMD said will benefit CPU-heavy games in particular.<\/p>\n

For the Ryzen 3 3100, AMD claimed these specifications translate into performance gains of up to 20% in gaming and 75% in creative programs when compared to Intel’s Core i3-9100.<\/p>\n

These processors are aimed at low-cost desktop builds, with a suggested online retailer price of $99 (R1,881) for the 3100, and $120 (R2,280) for the 3300X.<\/p>\n

The Ryzen 3100 and 3300X will be available from leading retailers and online stores worldwide from 21 May 2020.<\/p>\n

The table below shows the specifications of the new processors.<\/p>\n

B550 chipset<\/h3>\n

AMD is also adding another motherboard to its 500-series chipset family – the B550.<\/p>\n

The chipset comes with compatibility for PCIe 4.0, and AMD claimed it is the only mainstream modern chipset which offers this support.<\/p>\n

AMD said PCIe 4.0 allows for twice the bandwidth supported on its B450 motherboards to provide better speed and performance in gaming and multitasking.<\/p>\n

There are currently 60 designs of this chipset under development, AMD stated.<\/p>\n

The company did not share pricing for the chipset.<\/p>\n

The B550 is expected to be available from AMD’s OEM partners – including ASRock, ASUS, Biostar and GIGABYTE – from 16 June 2020.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
