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

Encryption, encoding and memory tests

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.

Encryption


In encryption, the 3100 was already stronger than the 10100, the 3300X has an advantage mainly in encryption by 9%. Decryption is almost the same.

Encoding


6–7% better encoding results will save you a few seconds compared to 3100. 3300X is 14% faster than 10100.

Memory tests




Not much has changed in memory tests, writing is still half the speed of Intel, and other values are almost identical between 3100 and 3300X. What makes the 3300X slightly better is latency, but it still doesn’t match Intel.

AMD planning Radeon RX 9070 GRE: Cheaper RDNA 4 with 12GB VRAM?

When launching the Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT, AMD confirmed Radeon RX 9060 XT coming in the second quarter. That card is expected to use the Navi 44 chip with just 128-bit bus and 2048 shaders, leaving a large gap between it and the Radeon RX 9070. Lack of a 192-bit memory card also means no graphics that could offer an affordable option thanks to 12GB VRAM. It seems there’s a new SKU coming to fill this gap – the Radeon RX 9070 GRE.

Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 Gaming OC 16G Review: Better Pick

Graphics cards from the latest generation are still pricey, but more affordable models have become easier to find in stores. The Radeon RX 9070 Gaming OC is one of the more reasonably priced options. It uses the same cooling and board layout as the more powerful Gigabyte AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC, but thanks to lower power consumption, it runs cooler and quieter—making it a more compelling choice for many users.

Zen 5 desktop APU is coming to AM5 by the end of the year

It has been 8 months since AMD introduced the Ryzen AI 300 “Strix Point” to the market – these are the first APUs (monolithic low-power CPUs with relatively strong integrated GPUs) based on the Zen 5 architecture. Until now, it was unclear whether these CPUs would ever have a desktop version. However, reports have just emerged suggesting that processors featuring Zen 5 and improved integrated graphics are on the way. Read more “Zen 5 desktop APU is coming to AM5 by the end of the year” »

  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.
