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

For many use cases, the Intel Xeon E-2136 is all that you will need. It provides high clock speeds and lots of performance that puts the entire Intel Xeon E3-1200 V6 line to shame. If you are a dedicated web host, using the Intel Xeon E-2136 is going to b...
Abstract: Its hard to believe considering we just finished up an Intel launch, but it is already time to check out Intel’s next launch. Kaby Lake was launched at the beginning of this year and the Mainstream lineup of CPUs is getting refreshed with Coffee Lake and Z370. This is the 8th generation of Intel’s Core processors going back to the original launch back in 2006...

Abstract: With AMD's Ryzen 3, the Zen architecture has trickled down into the entry-level market. Lacking SMT, the affordable CPUs did fairly well in our tests regardless, and are most certainly a viable alternative and worthy of a recommendation for entry-level sy...
So I think most people will admit that AMD has had a lot of wins this year with all of the Ryzen launches. As I found out in our 1700v7700K coverage the 7700K was still a great performing CPU, especially when looking at gaming performance. But with ju...
Abstract: AMD Ryzen 3 vs Ryzen 5 vs Ryzen 7So far we have taken a close look at most of AMD's Ryzen line-up and, while there have been variances from model to model, overall both the Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 series have indeed lived up to expectations. Their combination...
The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X and Threadripper 1920X are very impressive processors that did extremely well in content creation benchmarks that take advantage of having a 16-core, 32-thread processor in the system. The good news is a good number of app...

These Ryzen 3 CPUs with a 65 Watt TDP are much more power efficient than older Bulldozer CPUs at 125 Watts when in some tests offering similar performance, but not quite up to the performance-per-Watt Intel has with Kabylake (i3-7100 at 51 Watt TDP for re...
