After a month-long leak and speculation, AMD did not delay the announcement and just introduced the long-awaited low-cost Ryzen 3 3100 and 3300X and B550 chipset for low-cost motherboards with an AM4 connector.
In short, the Ryzen 3 3100 and 3300X chips which are now the latest of the 7-nm Matisse family received four Zen 2 cores with SMT support, 16 MB L3 cache and 65 W thermal package. Like other older brothers of Matisse, the new products work with DDR4-3200 memory in dual channel mode and have a PCI Express 4.0 controller.
The difference between the Ryzen 3 3100 and 3300X, except for the letter X, which indicates the support of the proprietary XFR overclocking function, is the Boost frequency: the Ryzen 3 3100 can accelerate to 3.9 GHz, and the Ryzen 3 3300X – up to 4.3 GHz. The nominal frequency is identical – 3.8 GHz. The Ryzen 3 3100 is priced at $ 99, while the Ryzen 3 3300X is asking for $ 120.
