AMD's cheap processor Ryzen 3100/3300X announced last month.It will be a powerful rival of Intel's Core i3.Both chips are released on May 21, but the Gizmodo editorial department reviewed a little earlier.It is a must -see for those who want to build their own PC at low cost.
What do you think you can do with a $ 100 desktop CPU?The answer can be a lot.
If you want to build your own PC at a low cost right now, AMD's Ryzen 33100 and Ryzen 3300X are solid options.Ryzen's cheapest desktop CPU has horsepower and moves.Perhaps the AMD has finally released the "low price" of the Ryzen 3 series.
Ryzen 3100/3300X
What is this?: AMD's latest desktop low -priced processor price: $ 100 for 3100 and $ 120 for 3300X.Good place: Low price & high performance, that is, good cospa!Unfortunately: There is no big difference in game performance.
First, let's compare the specifications of low -priced processors with generations.Ryzen 3 2100, which started with $ 110, is a 4 -corore/4 thread, base clock 3.1GHz (3).4GHz maximum boost).Next, Ryzen 3 2300X is a 4 -core/4 thread for $ 130.Base clock 3.5GHz (4).0GHz maximum boost).And this time, the latest Ryzen 3000.Although it is faster, the price is down, 8 threads!Below is the basic specifications.
・ Ryzen 3 3100: $ 100.4 core/8 threads, 3.6GHz clock base (3).9GHz maximum boost), 65 wat TDP.
・ Ryzen 3 3300X: $ 120.4 core/8 threads, 3.8GHz clock base (4).3GHz maximum boost), 65 wat TDP.
In addition to this, the simultaneous multi -threading (SMT) was talked about when the Ryzen 3100/3300X was announced.Equipped with the first SMT in the Ryzen 3 series.
This is the hyper -reding in Intel.Each of the four cores executes the virtual core to achieve 8 threads despite the 4 cores.By doing so, the price is reduced to the limit and the maximum performance is brought out.I think it's a good rival of Core i7-7700K in the Intel processor series released three years ago.
Performance comparable to Core i7 3 years ago
I can't say anything because there is no latest Intel processor to compete, but I compared it with the I7-7700K's past score that AMD was referring.
* Review environment: GTX 1080 Ti,, Asus Rog Crosshair VIIIIIII, G.Skill Trident Z Royal 16GB (2x 8GB) DDR4-3600, Samsung 970 EVO NVME M.2 SSD 500GB, Corsair RM750X, AMD WRAITH PRISM LED RGB cooling system
* Benchmark: Processing speed/Geekbench 4, Transcode Speed/Handbreak, rendering speed/Blender, game/"Civie Rising VI", "Shadow of the Tomb Raider", "Far Cry 5", "Total War: Warhammer II", "" Total War: Warhammer II ".Metro Exodus "
The numbers are easy to understand.
Only $ 20, but $ 20.3300X than 3100, multi -core performance (19903 vs).19002) also performed in single core (5279 vs.5133) is also good.It takes only 10 seconds, but Handbrake's 4K video (1080p preset 30) transcodes time is faster for 3300X.When it comes to image rendering, there is a difference of one minute!
In the game, there was no big difference between $ 20 between Ryzen 3100/3300X, but personally it was 3300X.Maximum boost 4.3GHz is big.In the first place, for $ 100.3GHz is wonderful!
The attached CPU cooler is not recommended for both processors.The temperature of 3300X quickly rises until the second half of 70 degrees, and the 3100 goes to the first half of the 70 degrees.It became quite hot even if the fans were operating at 3300X.If the cooling system is better, the CPU will be happy.
Just right for those who want to assemble gaming PCs cheaply
If you want to assemble a low -priced PC for games, I think either Ryzen 3100/3300X is fine.If you play games like "Overwatch", 4K ultra high image quality is about 100fps.However, considering that the average frame rate of "Shadow of the Tomb Raider" and "Metro Exodus" is 43 to 37 fps, 4K is a bit heavy for the combination of GTX 1080 Ti and Ryzen 3 3100/3300X.1440p is good or bad.However, there is no problem with either 3100/3300X if the average frame rate is 60FPS with 1080p ultra.
Below, the frate rate of each games that the games were tested when setting the graphic high quality at 1080p.・ Shadow of the Tomb Raider: 98fps ・ Metro Exodus: 72fps ・ TOTAL WAR: Warhammer II: 93fps ・ Furry 5: 94fps
The numbers depend on the graphic card.
The GTX 10 series has been a while since the release, so the GTX 16 and the GTX 20 series are of course better.If the budget is limited, RTX 2060 is good.GTX 1660 TI is also compatible with 3100/3300X, but personally, if you use 3100/3300X, you don't need a high -spec GPU that is so high.
According to AMD, 3100/3300X has a slightly better game performance than Intel's 7th generation processor Core i7-7700K.Since there was no i7-7700K at hand, this time we could not make a comparison test side by side, but compared it because the GIZ editorial department tested before.Performance depends on the overall configuration or overclocking.
The multi-core processing speed of Core i7-7700K is slower than 3100/3300X, but it is faster in single core.In addition, the 3100/3300X was 10 to 20 seconds from i7-7700K in Handbrake and 2 or 3 minutes later in Blender.On the other hand, if it is "Civy Risation VI", 3100/3300X is a great fight.Intel's GPU/CPU speed is 18.0/21.While 5, 3300X is 11.3/7/20, 3100 is 11.4/7.31.Considering that the i7-7700K is still sold for $ 400 in 2017 and still sold for $ 560, I think it is more than enough for a low cost CPU.
I think that the base clock is sufficient, but if you intend to lock overclocking, 3300X is recommended to add $ 20.But I personally wait a little longer to buy.The reason is that Intel announced the 10th generation Core i3-10100 as a rival, so I would like to compare it carefully.
·very good!Very cheap!
・ As for the game performance, there is no big difference between Ryzen 3100/3300X.
・ If you add $ 20 to 3300X, the rendering time will speed up and the boost clock will be raised.
