AMD Completes Ryzen Mainstream Desktop Lineup with the Release of Ryzen 3 processors
July 27 2017 - 9:00AM
Building off a momentous introduction of the AMD “Zen” core
architecture named “Best New Technology” by independent
reviewers around the globe, AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) today released two
models of its mainstream-priced, high-efficiency AMD Ryzen™ 3
desktop processor -- the AMD Ryzen™ 3 1300X and AMD Ryzen™ 3 1200
CPUs. The two Ryzen 3 processors come equipped with true quad-core
unlocked performance for gaming and computing, and join the
award-winning AMD Ryzen™ 7 and Ryzen™ 5 desktop processors with a
large and growing AM4 motherboard ecosystem.1
“These past few months have been an exciting period for AMD with
the global launch of Ryzen 7, designed for even the most demanding
power users, and the release of Ryzen 5, which meets and even
exceeds the needs of serious Prosumers,” said Jim Anderson, senior
vice president and general manager, Computing and Graphics Group,
AMD. “Ryzen 3 is a significant addition to our Ryzen desktop
processor lineup, scaling industry leading responsiveness and
performance into a budget-friendly package for mainstream users.
AMD’s Ryzen processor line reenergizes innovation and competition
across the entire PC market, providing consumers with a newfound
selection of processors that can fulfill their computing needs at
virtually every price point.”
Performance and AvailabilityThe Ryzen 3 lineup
includes two 4-core, 4-thread desktop CPUs available for purchase,
both of which support the new AM4 platform found throughout the
entire mainstream Ryzen processor family. Ryzen 3 1300X and Ryzen 3
1200 are designed to deliver optimum performance for esports gaming
and computing applications. Thanks to four physical processing
cores, the Ryzen 3 1300X and Ryzen 3 1200 boast impressive
multiprocessing advantages compared to the competition while
delivering impressive game performance. And like all socket AM4
processors, Ryzen 3 is multiplier-unlocked to provide even more
performance to users who appreciate the freedom to overclock.1

Ryzen 3 1300X delivers a base clock of 3.5 GHz, a precision
boost of 3.7GHz, and can even clock as high as 3.9 GHz with XFR in
the presence of premium cooling2. The Ryzen 3 1200 maintains a base
clock of 3.1 GHz and a precision boost of 3.4 GHz. Just like the
entire Ryzen lineup, all Ryzen 3 processors feature a true
artificial intelligence inside that employs a neural network to
learn about your applications to send workloads down the fastest
pathway inside the CPU for optimized performance. In addition,
every Ryzen 3 processor is AMD VR Ready3 thanks to its advanced
architecture and lightning-fast responsiveness.
AMD Ryzen 3 Processor and Platform
AvailabilityAvailability for both AMD Ryzen 3 models
begins today at etailers around the world. All AMD Ryzen 3, Ryzen 5
and Ryzen 7 processors support the AM4 infrastructure, with
extensive motherboard designs in market from all top ODMs, all
built upon the following desktop chipsets for AMD Ryzen processors
– the X370, B350 and the A320, the latter intended for mainstream
PCs at new, consumer-friendly price points.
Wraith Stealth & Max Thermal SolutionsThe
AMD Ryzen 3 lineup also features the Wraith Stealth cooler,
included with both the AMD Ryzen 1300X and Ryzen 1200. This capable
AMD thermal solution is the quietest, lowest-profile option in the
Wraith cooler lineup. In addition, originally only available
exclusively as a pre-installed thermal solution in select partner
systems, AMD today also announced that its top-of-the-line Wraith
Max cooler with RGB programmable LED is now available for
individual sale for $59 SEP USD. Compatible with AM4, AM3, and FM2
motherboards, the Wraith Max cooler is powerful enough to provide
the premium cooling required to enable XFR on Ryzen 7 1800X, 1700X,
and Ryzen 5 1600X while maintaining a noise level under 38dBA.2
Worldwide Release of AMD 7th Generation A-Series &
Athlon Processors for Socket AM4AMD also announced the
worldwide release of the highly popular 7th Generation AMD A-Series
desktop processor (codenamed ‘Bristol Ridge’) and the AMD Athlon™
X4 CPU for socket AM4, providing entry-level processor solutions
for this advanced platform. Engineered to deliver a premium PC
experience with superior unlocked performance1 and efficiency for
entry level PCs, 7th Gen A-Series processors include Radeon™
graphics for impressive gaming and a quad core architecture for
responsive computing. The introduction of 7th Gen A-series, Athlon
X4, and Ryzen™ 3 processors completes the stable, mature socket AM4
ecosystem, making it the only future-ready platform that scales all
the way from entry-level CPUs all the way up to the high-end
8-core/16-thread Ryzen™ 7 1800X.

1Overclocking AMD processors, including without limitation,
altering clock frequencies / multipliers or memory timing /
voltage, to operate beyond their stock specifications will
void any applicable AMD product warranty, even when such
overclocking is enabled via AMD hardware and/or software.
This may also void warranties offered by the system manufacturer or

ambient temperature and thermal solution that results in processor
temperatures below 60 degrees Celsius while the CPU is processing
the system workload. GD-118
3 AMD VR Ready Processors are select AMD processors that meet or
exceed the Oculus Rift or HTC Vive minimum specifications for
processors. Other hardware (including graphics cards) and system
requirements recommended by Oculus Rift or HTC Vive should also be
met in order to operate the applicable HMDs as intended. As VR
technology, HMDs and other VR hardware and software evolve and/or
become available, these criteria may change without notice. Check
with your PC or system manufacturer to confirm VR capabilities.
