![]() The 3300X and the Intel 8400 were right with each other in the multi-core test, not bad for a four-core vs a 6 core, and the 3300X pulled ahead in the V-Ray benchmark slightly.įor CPUz I ended up running two sets of tests. PVO-Ray is tested at both single and multi-core which I always love. In RX did even better for the single-core test, running with the big boy 3000 CPUs of course in the multi-threaded test they fell off and were back closer to reality with the 3300X outperforming the 7700K there and the 3100 just behind it.įor ray tracing tests I ran POV-Ray and V-Ray. Both came in ahead of the 7700K for multithreaded in R15 and the 3300X stayed ahead in the single-core testing. Then in blender, rendering their quick benchmark took 1289 seconds for the 3300X and 1422 for the 3100 which was better than the 8086K which is impressive considering its 6 cores and higher clock speed.įor the always popular Cinebench, I ran the older R15 test which better fits a 4 core CPU and the new R20 for high core count CPUs. There both CPUs look lower on the charts, but there aren’t any of the older CPUs for comparison. ![]() ![]() Sticking with the encoding I also tested with Handbrake, taking a 4K video down to 1080p30. My first two tests were x264 focused with x264 HD 4.0 and 5.0 and both CPUs wouldn’t be my first choice when looking at encoding performance but they didn’t do too bad, especially in the older 4.0 benchmark where the 3300X excelled. But I’m most excited about seeing how they compare against some of the 4 core CPUs from the past like the 7700K. Sadly I don’t have either of the direct comparisons from Intel with the Core i3-9100 for the Ryand the Core i5-9400 against the 3300X. For that, I tested both CPUs through our entire test suite which allows us to also compare how they perform against current and past CPUs. Pricing is good, but performance is where it’s at. Motherboard: Asus Crosshair VIII HERO WiFi Which is just the X570 for full support and B550 with the GPU slot supported and other PCIe lanes are on 3.0. They also have PCIe 4.0 support as long as the chipset supports it. They are still AM4 and like the other Zen 2 based Ryzen CPUs, there is some backward compatibility with normal 3000 series CPUs working on X470, X570, B450, and now B550. Nothing has changed as far as the CPU package goes of course. They just set the two CPUs in their plastic clam-shells. So I don’t have any traditional packaging shots. ![]() Now AMD didn’t send the full setup this time around like they sometimes do. This cuts down on core to core latency and allows all of the cores access to the full 16MB 元 cache at once. The 3100 has a 2+2 configuration with two cores per CCX and the 3300X is a full 4 with all four cores on the same CCX. AMD was quick to point out however that they aren’t just reclocked versions of the same CPU. The 3100 clocks at 3.6 GHz base and up to 3.9 GHz on boost where the 3300X is clocked higher with a 3.8 GHz base and 4.3 GHz for the boost. They are also on the Zen 2 architecture which includes being manufactured at 7nm which can make things a little confusing because the Ryzen 3 3400G is on the older architecture. They both have a 65-watt TDP and include the Wraith Stealth cooler as well. ![]() On base stats they are similar, both having 4 core and 8 threads and 18MB of L2 and 元 cache. Officially the suggested pricing for the Ryis $99 and the 3300X is $120. So like I mentioned before both CPUs fall in the 100-120 range. One of the parts that stood out to me was this slide where they talk about big changes in the Ryzen 3 lineup and you can see where back in 2017 they doubled the threads to 4 with dual-core CPUs, later added in Vega graphics, and now doubled up the thread count again as well as added PCIe 4.0. So on a recent call with AMD, they went over the details on their new B550 chipset which I will hopefully be covering soon as well as both of the new CPUs. Today I’m excited to see how they perform, especially compared to the high-end quad-core CPUs from just a few years ago. Today AMD is launching their Ryand Ryzen 3 3300X which both have 4 cores and 8 threads in the $100-$120 range which is a huge step up for budget builds. Quad-core CPUs were all you could get on the higher end of the mainstream lineups before Ryzen and now we have seen those end up in the mid-range and now the low end as well. But for me, it is the trickle-down effect you see on the mid to low end. Most people might think that the best thing about AMD's resurgence with Ryzen is the big performance gains in the high end. ![]()
