AMD accidentally reveals Ryzen 3 1300 and 1200 details

Yesterday, AMD announced their new Ryzen Pro lineup of enterprise CPUs, inadvertently giving us some information on their upcoming Ryzen 3 series of consumer products.  

Looking at AMD’s Ryzen Pro announcement, one thing is clear, that the specifications are almost identical to their consumer counterparts, giving us a glimpse of Ryzen 3 through the guise of the Ryzen Pro 3. 

AMD’s Ryzen Pro 3 CPUs will feature 4 cores and 4 threads and come with pricing that is similar to Intel’s i3 (2-core, 4-thread) lineup, giving AMD an advantage in multi-threaded applications. This matches previous rumours for Ryzen 3, and given the Ryzen Pro series’ similarities to their standard desktop counterparts, there is no reason to believe that Consumer Ryzen 3 will perform any differently than Ryzen Pro 3.  

Below is a table that compares the specifications of Ryzen 7, Ryzen 5 and Ryzen Pro 3, suggesting sub-£150 pricing for Ryzen 3, which makes Ryzen 3 super competitive with Intel’s i3 lineup.   

 

 

Right now, only a single Intel i3 is overclockable, the i3 7350K, which is now priced at £149.99. This means that Ryzen 3 will likely be priced similarly to Intel’s non-k series locked CPUs, while Ryzen 3 will be overclockable, giving AMD a huge advantage in the budget gaming market given their increase core count and overclockability. 

 

  

Ryzen 3 will launch sometime in H2 of 2017, which will place the launch sometime between July and December. We expect this launch to come sooner, rather than later, with a launch in late July or August.
