Ryzen 3 vs Ryzen 5 for Gaming Builds? (2020 Review).

Since the beginning of time If you've ever tried to build a mid-range gaming PC that doesn't suck, all the dogs, cats, and cousins ​​who think they know your will tell you you need a mid-range processor like the i5 or Ryzen 5 But now, according to many of the whispers in the wind, and my sources The reliable yes, not the doubtful Apparently now there is another more affordable option Come Come lah Yes really, really Come, come Come, the real Ah, the real AMD is finally here With Ryzen 3 The best! Anyway, today we are going to find out if the new Ryzen 3 3100 and Ryzen 3 300X are really good enough to play in 2020.

How do they compare to the even newer Ryzen 5 3600XT? How? I ask you, I have not tried either, how do I know, leh? Say lah! Don't you know, ah? So you can wait and see during MCO, as you know AMD released two new Ryzen 3 processors which is the Ryzen 3 3100 and the Ryzen 3 3300X.

This one is very cheap at RM449. time I mean it Both are hashtag #Cheapbuy So what is special about these two processors? Wait! Come, I tell you, wait. I have the specs here. First of all, it's two o'clock. Multi-threaded quad-core processors that are designed to deliver good single-core performance primarily for gaming.

These two processors? Well, it's mainly the base clock and boost.The 3100 comes with a 3.6GHz base clock and a 3.9GHz boost clock, while the Ryzen 3 3300X has a 3.8GHz base clock and a 4.3GHz boost clock. so similar, my mind hurts a bit. To intimidate you today, I have brought out the Ryzen 5 3600XT, which has 6 cores and 12 threads, because it's an extra `` thread '' so we can figure out if the Ryzen 3 can actually play correctly This is the big brother, these two are the younger brothers and let's see how they compare and if it is worth upgrading to a Ryzen 5 if you only have a budget for Ryzen 3 and should save the money.

Buy something else? All these things I will tell you today To make you stay still Please sit down Don't run away Apart from the clock speeds The main difference between the 3100 and 3300X is the core design Since both processors are quad core They only have one CCD Chiplets linked via Infinity Fabric on higher core CPUs Just have a look at the CCX which is the central complex that contains the actual cores On the 3100 The four cores are spread across two CCXs While the 3300X only has one CCX which contains all four cores This design in the 3300X leads to lower latency and makes that performs better than the 3100 Even if you overclock the 3100 to get similar clock speeds to the 3300X there is still a little difference due to the CCX design Now let's put these babies on our benchmark then check them out Here are our bench specs From benchmarks Starting with synthetic benchmarks First we have Cinebench R20 Just to set expectations In terms of the best-case scenario with each chip There are no surprises here, the Ryzen 5 is way ahead in terms of multi-core scores Due to the 6 cores and 12 threads If you do any 3D work or multi-core intensive applications, you should simply consider the Ryzen 5 here In Time Spy Extreme The Ryzen 5 3600XT scored around 9% better than the Ryzen 3 3300X and 18% better than the 3100 Ryzen 3 chips are even more lacking in terms of CPU scores but expected as this is just a benchmark Synthetic Movin We move on to games We evaluate the CPUs in mainstream games like CS: GO and Valorant And some slightly more demanding games like Shadow Of The Tomb Raider and Death Stranding First we have CS: GO and this is a mainstream title that is quite CPU Dependent because it's older AND has an older engine The Ryzen 5 3600XT and Ryzen 3300X They really traded hits with both getting average 300s to high in both 1080p and 1440p But what is surprising is that the 3100 still averages 244 frames per second at 1440p Which is good news if you have a high refresh rate screen for playing CS: GO Next up, we have Valorant Which is quite new and popular at the moment, Riot Games is really famous for its low-end PC optimizations.

Second For 1080p and 1440p Which is very playable For a first person shooter As for the 3600XT It gets around 50 to 60 frames per second More than the 3300X Which is close to 200 frames per second Aiyo, how many more FPS do they do? you want? 500 frames per second You will also blame the lag after dying wan lah Won't you meh? For Shadow Of The Tomb Raider the Ryzen 3 3100 was able to keep up Even at 1440p Because you got 75 very playable frames per second AND at 1080p we got 91 frames per second AND the difference was not that big once you upgraded to the Ryzen 5 3600XT because it only has about 116 frames per second in 1080p and 78 frames per second in 1440p Shadow Of The Tomb Raider is pretty much GPU-bound so don't worry too much about the Ryzen 3 a bottleneck As for Death Stranding, it's the same story that Ryzen 3 3100 is capable of holding 68 frames per second at 1440p Whereas the 3330X gets a very impressive 90 frames per second AND the 3600XT gets 95 frames per second if you're not looking for crazy high FPS numbers Looks like the Ryzen 3 can already get the job done Finally, we added our real world benchmarks usual, which is the Premiere Pro rendering test Rendering one of our four minute videos in 4K CBR 50Mbps The Ryzen 5 3600XT finished in 596 seconds, which is 35% better than the 3300X and 59% better than the 3100 By the way, we are using an AMD graphics card with hardware encoding enabled If you have a CUDA accelerated GPU You should get better results Although your mileage may vary So what's the bottom line? Basically, if you're just using your gaming PC, the Ryzen 3 processors here are perfectly fine Even with more demanding titles because AMD has definitely risen to the challenge To bring us a very good price / performance ratio In quad-core processors that won't break your bank and save you some money So you can add it to your graphics card budget.
