AMD Ryzen 3 3100 & 3300X CPU Review

Synthetic Benchmarks

Straightaway, you can see there’s quite a big difference between the Ryzen 3 3100 and the Ryzen 3 3300X. The lower latency, higher clock speeds and more unified cache of the 3300X push it comfortably into the lead here, but that was to be expected. What’s good is what the 3300X pulls ahead of the 7700K in 3DMark, and even the 3100 is not far off, but also thrashes the i5 7500 in 3DMark. Intel and AMD trade blows back and forth throughout, but it’s clear that AMD are putting the pressure on here when affordable CPUs are taking down popular premium Intel CPUs.

The 3300X, 7700K and 8700K were all very closely matched in PCMark 10 Express, and the 3100 pulled ahead of the i5 7500 in this test also. Both the 3100 and 3300X took a lead on the 770K in the demanding WPrime test too, which is bloody amazing actually. However, the newer 8700 and 9700K were ahead, but again, we expected this too.
