AMD Ryzen 3 1200 Quad-Core CPU Review
Lack of IGP may hurt target market
IGPU
Unambitious clock speeds
Overclocking isn't rewarding
Power consumption is significantly higher than Intel competitors
Intel's bargain Pentium G4560 remains a tough thorn in AMD's side
Lack of iGPU compared to Intel competitors may limit some possible applications or troubleshooting approaches
Which processor now offers the most bang of your buck varies per price segment. If you have a very small budget, in our opinion it is best to find an Intel Pentium G4560, which, given its higher availability, is less of a challenge than it was a few month...

Abstract: For the past few years, processors made by Intel have been more powerful – and much more popular – than those made by rival AMD. However, AMD’s Ryzen processors have turned that around: they’re powerful CPUs at a tempting price, and an excellent alternati...
What we have with the Ryzen 3 1200 is a similar situation to the Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 series, specifically regarding the Ryzen 5 1600 and Ryzen 7 1700. They have the same basic specifications as their more expensive X-edition siblings but slower frequencie...

For those building a Ryzen AM4 system on a tighter budget, the Ryzen 3 is a no brainer. The R3 is the most affordable Ryzen chip ever, and it's about half the price of Intel's quad-core offerings, especially the ones that offer overclocking. It runs incre...
The introduction of a couple of Ryzen 3 processors provides PC enthusiasts with the opportunity of buying into the latest Zen architecture from as little as £100, with AMD targetting the £500-£750 base-unit market through a combination of these chips alli...

In our testing, Ryzen 3 has thrown up some dramatically interesting results, and when you consider the updates and optimisations AMD has made since the release of the Ryzen family, it is understandable. Price to compete against the i3 7300 and the i3 7100...
AMD's two new Ryzen chips are cheaper than their Intel rivals while offering better multi-threaded performance, comparable power consumption and a little more speed in tough gaming scenarios. Intel's chip is better in single-threaded tasks, but I'd still...
