AMD Ryzen 3 3300X – when cheaper Matisse is not enough

Extra tests, Processors | | Tomáš Brestovanský

Rendering and Geekbench

The duel of Ryzen 3 3100 and Intel Core i3-10100 processors showed that AMD can beat Intel in most tests at a lower price. However, the R3 3100 is not the only new model introduced by the manufacturer. The 3300X is more powerful, with higher clock speed and, coincidentally, it also sells for the same price as the Ci3-10100. In addition to significantly higher clock speed, it also has different CCD composition.

Higher clock speed and a change in the internal structure of the processor were immediately reflected in the result of Cinebench R15. Compared to the 3100, you see a nice 12% increase in performance in single-core and 9% in multi-core. The 3300X’s lead over Intel is even bigger, 15 and 24%.


The newer version of Cinebench R20 shows the same difference as R15 among the new Ryzen 3 CPUs. The lead over Intel has changed slightly, an increase to 20% in single-core but a decrease to 19% in multi-core.

In a practical test of POV-Ray render, you can see that the 3300X is 8% faster than the 3100 and 21% faster than the 10100. This translates into almost 10 and 25 second differences.

Blender showed only a 3% difference between 3100 and 10100. The 3300X is another 11% or 49 and 63 seconds faster than both.

Geekbench


Geekbench 3 shows a 9% lead of the 3300X over the 3100 in both single and multi-core tests. Compared to Intel, it is up to 18 and 25% faster.


Although Geekbench 4 doesn’t really like AMD processors, the 3300X beats the other two processors in this test as well, 7–9% in single-core and 8–14% in multi-core.


The latest Geekbench 5 version shows a 12% lead over 3100 in single-core and 13% over 10100. Multi-core 5 and 14% in favor of 3300X.

The raw performance of the 3300X is very solid and the more than 10% increase in single-core compared to the 3100 is definitely not negligible. In multi-core, we saw up to a quarter higher performance compared to 10100 which is unprecedented at the same price of processors.

Windows 11 stops working on more processors, requires SSE4.2

News, Processors | | Jan Olšan

This year, the vague uncertainty about Windows 11 not supporting older computers turned into reality, as the OS began using the POPCNT instruction, causing it to stop working on many processors. However, this was not all and the requirements may increase further. In fact, now Windows 11 is starting to require additional instruction set extensions that will shut down more processor families, including Phenoms and the first APUs.

RDNA 4 Radeon GPUs: specs and performance of both chips leaked

Graphics, News | | Jan Olšan

Previously, new GPU generations were coming in 2-year cycles, which would mean a launch this fall. However, Nvidia’s roadmap has put the GeForce RTX 5000 launch into 2025 some time ago. AMD is still unclear on the launch date of Radeon RX 8000s, but there’s some chance it’s within this year. The specs of these GPUs using RDNA 4 architecture have now surfaced on the internet. If they are real, it might even point to a release relatively soon. Read more “RDNA 4 Radeon GPUs: specs and performance of both chips leaked” »

AMD to produce lowend CPUs and GPUs using Samsung’s 4nm node

Graphics, News, Processors | | Jan Olšan

Back when the groundbreaking Ryzen processors launched, AMD was still manufacturing almost all of its products at GlobalFoundries, with the exception of chipsets designed by ASMedia. But now, by contrast, it is almost fully tied to the fortunes of TSMC. However, it looks like there could soon be some diversification in place. Samsung-made chips are coming to low-cost processors and they’ll also appear in Radeon graphics cards later. Read more “AMD to produce lowend CPUs and GPUs using Samsung’s 4nm node” »

  1. Sorry you spent time on this.Can you find one for 120 dollars.Im starting to feel amd raging like intel used 2.Gak I should have stayed blue.Bought an a320 with a 3200g to see what the craz was about.Was not bad.I now have the 3200 in a gigabyte b550 and again not bad https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/33156011.Now i see the cheap cpu is no longer cheap.Iwish i had just gone 9400f.
