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.
| Processor Name | Cores | Threads | Base Clock Speeds | Boost Clock Speeds | XFR (MHz) | L3 Cache | TDP | Price UK |
| Ryzen 7 1800X | 8 | 16 | 3.6GHz | 4.0GHz | +100 | 16MB | 95W+ | £449 |
| Ryzen 7 1700X | 8 | 16 | 3.4GHz | 3.8GHz | +100 | 16MB | 95W | £369 |
| Ryzen 7 1700 | 8 | 16 | 3.0GHz | 3.7GHz | +50 | 16MB | 65W | £299 |
| Ryzen 5 1600X | 6 | 12 | 3.6GHz | 4.0GHz | +100 | 16MB | 95W | £229 |
| Ryzen 5 1600 | 6 | 12 | 3.2GHz | 3.6GHz | +100 | 16MB | 65W | £199 |
| Ryzen 5 1500X | 4 | 8 | 3.5GHz | 3.7GHz | +200 | 16MB | 65W | £174 |
| Ryzen 5 1400 | 4 | 8 | 3.2GHz | 3.4GHz | +50 | 8MB | 65W | £159 |
| Ryzen 3 1300? | 4 | 4 | 3.5GHz | 3.7GHz | ? | 8MB | 65W | ? |
| Ryzen 3 1200? |
4 | 4 | 3.1GHz | 3.4Ghz | ? | 8MB | 65W | ? |
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.
