These new Ryzen 3 quad-core desktop processors bring the “Zen 2” core architecture to business users, gamers, and creators worldwide, leveraging Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT) technology for increased productivity.

The AMD Ryzen 3 3100 and AMD Ryzen 3 3300X represent the fastest ever AMD Ryzen 3 desktop processors, bringing high 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 great memory latency reduction, translating directly to 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 promise to provide "incredible multitasking performance and responsiveness".

These new quad-core eight-thread processors fill the gap left in AMD's Ryzen 3000 lineup and address Intel's Core i3 lineup.
