AMD Ryzen 3 3300X Review

The AMD Ryzen 3 3300X is a 4-core, 8-thread budget desktop processor built on Zen 2, running a genuinely high 3.8 GHz base clock that boosts to 4.3 GHz within a 65 Watt TDP, and ships with a Wraith Stealth cooler.

This chip earned a strong budget gaming value reputation at launch thanks to all 4 cores residing on a single core-complex-die, giving it genuinely lower latency than the 3100's split-CCX layout at a similar price.

Integrated Graphics

This chip ships without a functional integrated GPU; a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

How Is the Ryzen 3 3300X in Terms of Performance

The 4-core, 8-thread layout with all cores on a single CCX gives this chip genuinely lower inter-core latency than the 3100, delivering a real gaming performance edge at a similar budget price point.

Benchmarks

As a genuine single-CCX Zen 2 quad-core chip with a high 3.8 GHz base clock, this processor delivers gaming performance that punches above its budget price tier, a real standout at launch.
