AMD Ryzen 3 3300X and Ryzen 3 3100: New Low Cost Quad-Core Zen 2 Processors From $99

[Andrew]

If one were critiquing AMD’s current line of Zen 2 processors, one of the things to note is that the cheapest option is $199, for the six-core Ryzen 5 3600. This puts the latest hardware from AMD out of reach for anyone building a gaming $900 system or below. In order to redress this balance, AMD is set to launch two new quad core designs in May, starting at $99. The new Ryzen 3 hardware will each feature one Zen 2 core chiplet, run at up to 4.3 GHz, and offer PCIe 4.0 connectivity.

Oh heck yeah. These would make for awesome low cost NAS or Plex server options. AMD just keeps bringing more perf. options to the table every step they make.

I bet these chips will be in 4790k performance territory too. This is great news for people who like to shop used old parts that are still useful.

 

Would be hard to convince me to buy your used 4c/8t i7 + board + ram for any more than $150ish now when i can spend barely over 200 for brand new amd parts

 

i am assuming these are mattisse dies, I know they made some 2000 series parts that were actually 1000 series under the hood.
