AMD Introduces Ryzen 3 Desktop Processors and B550 Chipset

Today, AMD announced the Ryzen 3 3100 and Ryzen 3 3300X desktop processors, available beginning in May for $99 USD and $120 USD respectively.

The B550 chipset will be available in motherboards from leading ODM partners worldwide starting June 16.

AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) announced the newest additions to the 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen desktop processor family, the AMD Ryzen 3 3100 and AMD Ryzen™ 3 3300X processors and AMD B550 Chipset for Socket AM4 designed for 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen desktop processors with over 60 designs in development. Taking advantage of the AMD world-class portfolio of technologies, these new Ryzen 3 desktop processors bring the groundbreaking “Zen 2” core architecture to business users, gamers, and creators worldwide, leveraging Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT) technology for increased productivity. With double the threads, twice the bandwidth, and a wide selection of motherboards in development the AMD B550 chipset and Ryzen 3 desktop processors deliver the ideal processing solution from top to bottom.

“Games and applications are becoming more and more demanding, and with this, users are demanding more from their PCs,” said Saeid Moshkelani, senior vice president and general manager, client business unit. “AMD is committed to providing solutions that meet and exceed those demands for all levels of computing. With the addition of these new Ryzen 3 desktop processors we are continuing this commitment with our mainstream gaming customers. We’ve taken performance up a level, doubling the processing threads of our Ryzen 3 processors to propel gaming and multitasking experiences to new heights.”

AMD Ryzen 3 3100 and AMD Ryzen 3 3300X

Continuing to demonstrate its leadership in the consumer desktop space, the AMD Ryzen 3 3100 and AMD Ryzen 3 3300X represent the fastest ever AMD Ryzen 3 desktop processors, bringing world class desktop performance to mainstream gamers. They also stand for AMD’s commitment to improving CPU performance and technologies for consumers by enabling SMT on a Ryzen 3 desktop processor for the very first time.

The processors take advantage of 18MB Cache, delivering dramatic memory latency reduction, translating directly to smoother, faster gaming performance for high framerates in CPU-heavy games. Further, with four cores, eight threads, and AMD SMT technology, the new Ryzen 3 processors provide incredible multitasking performance and responsiveness that consumers need.

The AMD Ryzen 3 3100 offers:

  • Up to 20% gaming performance than the competition
  • Up to 75% creator performance than the competition

IMO AMD is making a big mistake not including iGPUs on their CPUs. Yes, they call them "APUS" but the CPUs that are competitive with Intel performance (Ryzen 3000 desktop) are NOT APUs.

Vast majority of people do not need a gaming GPU. Intel iGPU might be terrible for gaming, but it is good enough for watching Youtube, UHD, and basic desktop use. Video cards are expensive these days. There are no cheap, low-end video cards. There is the GT 1030, but that is still $90, is old, and doesn't have nvenc (while Intel will give you QSV), and honestly video encoding acceleration is a must these days - even your phones have it. Because you still need a video card with this, it makes Intel much more compelling in many cases.

I've seen exactly one "general use" system with AMD ryzen 3000 being sold in it. Some HP with a 3700X and a RX 550 or some low end card in it, for a price lower than similar i7 9700 systems. I read reviews/comments and everyone was complaining that the system was "mismatched by having good CPU but crappy video card in it". Because of the low end video card, it got really bad reviews, despite the high performance for everything except gaming.

How appealing is that for HP and other OEMs to produce AMD general use high performance systems and get terrible reviews because people criticize it for poor gaming performance? HP makes an i7 9700 system, no reviews are gonna criticize it for having an iGPU and will praise it for its good general performance. HP makes a 3700X + RX 550 system, reviews WILL criticize it for having a 'poor GPU'. If I were HP, I'd just sell Intel performance systems and not even bother with AMD.

These new chips have the same exact issue.. More performance than a similar i3, priced lower, but you still need a GPU. Who wants these chips? If I were building say a cheap home server..I'd go with the i3 just so I don't have to deal with finding a video card for it.

People like me want these chips.... I have video cards laying around. I need systems to put them in. These chips will work perfectly for my needs. In fact, an R3 1200AF would be absolutely perfect for my needs.....if I could get my hands on one...
