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

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.

Heating

The 9 degrees Celsius higher temperature compared to 3100 is notable, but it is still not a high value that the processor could not handle and had to underclock. In addition, this is the maximum value and in most tests the temperature was below 70 degrees.

Power draw


When looking at the power draw of the CPU package and the entire system, you can see 10 W more compared to the 3100 which is also the justification for the higher temperature. Higher performance simply needs more juice and this is reflected in power draw.

AMD to Raise Prices on All Products: GPUs, CPUs and Chipsets

We reported that Intel was preparing to raise CPU prices next month, but according to further information, the same was planned by AMD. Further sources have now confirmed that this manufacturer will also be raising prices. However, the scope of the price increases is to be much broader—it will affect not only CPUs, but apparently all chips manufactured by AMD. As a result, graphics cards pricing will rise further, but so will prices of motherboards. Read more “AMD to Raise Prices on All Products: GPUs, CPUs and Chipsets” »

AMD Releases New Budget CPUs. Even for the AM4 Socket

It looks like whole ten years since the time AMD officially launched the AM4 platform (initially for the Excavator architecture and only on the OEM market, in 2016), a new CPU will now be released for this socket. But not a completely new one. AMD has now released two configurations that did not previously exist, but are based on 2020 and 2022 silicon, and the first of them is coming to the older platform using DDR4.

Next-gen Radeon GPUs: RDNA 5 architecture clock targets leaked

2027 is approaching with new generations of GPUs, although they will be delayed compared to the previous two-year cycles. AMD has GPUs with the new RDNA 5 architecture coming, which could incorporate fairly major changes compared to today’s RDNA 4 based  GPUs, as well as a new manufacturing process. Thanks to the latter, clock speeds will apparently increase, although perhaps not by as much as one would have expected. Read more “Next-gen Radeon GPUs: RDNA 5 architecture clock targets leaked” »

  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.
