AMD Ryzen 3000 CPUs: Everything You Need to Know

AMD’s Ryzen 3000 CPUs vastly improved performance over Ryzen 1000 and 2000 CPUs when they launched in 2019. Featuring the redesigned Zen 2 architecture, AMD’s then-latest foray into its Ryzen platform proved to be more than just a slight generational improvement. AMD promised huge gains over Zen and Zen Plus, as well as over Intel’s 9th-generation chips, and remarkably, it delivered.

Although now eclipsed by its sequel, the Ryzen 5000 series, Ryzen 3000 chips are still great for gaming and work. Before picking up a Ryzen 3000 processor for your next PC build, here’s what you need to know about Zen 2, Ryzen 3000, X570, and more.

If you want to know more, you can check our guide on what a CPU is.

Pricing and availability

Ryzen 3000-series CPUs Dan Baker/Digital Trends

Launching on July 7, 2019, almost every Ryzen 3000 CPU is available to buy both singularly and as part of pre-built systems. As of late 2020, the vast majority of Ryzen 3000 processors are in stock at retailers, from the 3200G to the 3950X. Demand for the new Ryzen 5000-series processors has bled over into Ryzen 3000, however. Certain retailers might have a processor or two out of stock, but you can usually find the same processor in stock elsewhere.

As for pricing, they run the gamut. The 3200G APU starts at just $95, with its companion APU, the 3400G, starting at $144. The Ryzen 5 3600 is $195, though it can be found for as little as $170 in some great deals, while the 3600X is most commonly found at $235. The 3700X is priced at $329, while the more selectively binned 3800X is $399. The king of the hill, the 3900X, is around $550, depending on sales. 

These prices are hotly competitive with Intel’s 9th-generation and 10th-generation chips. With performance being so close in many cases, AMD’s Ryzen 3000 processors often represent better value for money.

Desktop Ryzen 3000

The Ryzen 3000 series is built upon a successor architecture to the Zen and Zen Plus cores used in the first and second-generation chips, known as Zen 2. It represents a major overhaul of the design of the CPUs, as well as a die shrinking for certain components. In a similar fashion to AMD’s “Rome” Epyc server CPUs, AMD has split its next-gen chips into “chiplets,” built on TSMC’s 7 nm FinFET process. They contain the CPU cores and are paired with a 12nm input/output (I/O) processor that gives them direct connections to memory, which should reduce the latency concerns that we saw on similar designs with the Zen and Zen Plus-based Threadripper CPUs.

The full lineup of currently available AMD Ryzen 3000 desktop chips is as follows:

CPU Cores/Threads Base clock Boost clock TDP
Ryzen 5 3600 6/12 3.6GHz 4.2GHz 65w
Ryzen 5 3600X 6/12 3.8GHz 4.4GHz 95w
Ryzen 7 3700X 8/16 3. 5GHz 4.4GHz 65w
Ryzen 7 3800X 8/16 3.6GHz 4.5GHz 105w
Ryzen 9 3900X 12/24 3.8GHz 4.6GHz 105w
Ryzen 9 3950X 16/32 3.5GHz 4.7GHz 105w

Although these specifications fall short of the rumored 5GHz we heard tell of before their reveal, it’s important to note that there are other enhancements at play that contribute to an overall uptick in performance. AMD CEO Lisa Su revealed that Ryzen 3000 chips enjoy a 15% increase in instructions per clock. That, combined with the efficiency boost from moving to 7nm and the new, enhanced design of the Zen 2 cores, provides a big boost to both single-threaded and multithreaded performance for all Ryzen 3000 CPUs.

In our testing, we found that across the board, Ryzen 3000 CPUs are, blow for blow, pretty close to Intel’s best counterparts in gaming. The 3600X is just as capable as the 9600K, the 3700X as the 9700K, and the 3900X as the 9900K. While the Intel chips typically remain competitive across the board (their much higher clock speeds are a big factor there) AMD’s chips now offer more IPC than Intel’s offerings and that really shows in gaming.

That makes AMD’s Ryzen 3000 processors great for gaming, but where they really shine is in multithreaded workloads. Thanks to the massive core counts and across the board support for simultaneous multithreading (Intel’s hyperthreading is reserved for its 9th-generation Core i9 CPUs only) AMD’s chips dominate Intel in productivity workloads and even compete with its $1,000 plus HEDT chips like the 9960X.

X570 motherboards

The new chipset for third-generation Ryzen CPUs is  X570. These new generation motherboards aren’t strictly necessary for Ryzen 3000 CPUs, since they’re based on the same AM4 socket (see below) as the last two generations of Ryzen platforms, but they do bring some exciting enhancements to the table.

PCIe 4.0 is a major advancement for both Ryzen 3000 and will be supported on X570 motherboards at launch. It may be added to more mid-range motherboard solutions further down the line as well as some X470 boards through a BIOS update. It will double the bandwidth of PCIe 3.0 and opens the door to greater graphical bandwidth and higher speed PCIe solid-state drives too.

These boards support up to 128GB of DDR4 memory and up to 5G Ethernet.

Some of them require dual eight-pin CPU power connectors, and due to the power requirements of the X570 chipset, the vast majority of boards require active cooling, as well as additional passive cooling across the PCB, especially on the VRMs.

AM4 Socket

Dan Baker/Digital Trends

Like Zen and Zen Plus platforms, the Zen 2 chips utilize the AM4 socket. That means the Ryzen 3000 CPUs can work in existing AM4 motherboards with a BIOS update.

The only caveat here is that the higher core counts of some Ryzen 3000 CPUs require greater power. That means that certain first-generation and even some second-generation boards won’t be compatible. It’s down to the manufacturer on a case-by-case basis, so make sure that your board can support the new-gen CPU if you’re planning to upgrade your chip without a new motherboard.

AMD kept its promise of using the AM4 socket through 2020, with the most recent Ryzen 5000 processors using the same socket. That means that not only will those looking to upgrade to the Ryzen 3000 series from existing Ryzen platforms not have to upgrade their motherboard at the same time, but they won’t have to do so for the Zen 3 chips, either. That could make it a much more cost-effective upgrade, and the backward compatibility opens up many more options for potential buyers.

However, not all chipsets will work with all Ryzen processors (Ryzen 5000 CPUs don’t work with X370, for example). Make sure to double-check chipset compatibility before throwing a processor into your existing motherboard.

Overclocking

Overclocking has been a major factor in CPU purchasing decisions for decades, so what can AMD’s Ryzen 3000 chips do for the enthusiast wanting more performance? It turns out, not much. AMD has tuned its Performance Boost Overdrive and automated overclocking algorithms so well that Ryzen 3000 CPUs act more like modern-day graphics cards. They boost as high as they can go taking into consideration the workload, and thermal and power headroom.

All-core overclocks that approach the rated boost clock have been possible under extreme cooling solutions, but for the most part, AMD Ryzen CPUs perform better (especially in games) when given a decent cooling solution and left to their own devices. There is some additional performance that can be unlocked by overclocking the infinity fabric between the chips and I/O die and tweaking memory, but it’s not substantial.

In comparison, Intel’s chips overclock very well. Most 9900K buyers can easily overclock them to 5GHz, but Intel boost clocks are only maintained for a minute or two, whereas AMD’s chips will stay as fast as they can go for as long as they can. While Intel’s chips might offer more headroom for those willing to tweak, the new Ryzen 3000 CPUs give you near-maximum performance right out of the box.

Threadripper 3000

AMD’s 3990X Threadripper CPU should dominate in the HEDT space.

AMD has already soldiered on to Ryzen 5000 with its consumer platform, but the Zen 2-based Threadripper 3000 CPUs remains its latest options for high-end desktops and workstations. There are three models available, building from where the 3950X left off.

Mobile APU Cores/threads Process node L2 & L3 cache Base/Boost frequency TDP
Ryzen Threadripper 3960X 24/48 7nm 140MB 3.8/4.5GHz 280w
Ryzen Threadripper 3970X 32/64 7nm 140MB 3.7/4.5GHz 280w
Ryzen Threadripper 3990X 64/128 7nm 288MB 2. 9/4.3GHz 280w

Threadripper processors are essentially two Ryzen chips stuck together, making for a processor that’s a long, large rectangle instead of a square. Because of the larger size, Threadripper 3000 isn’t compatible with the AM4 socket. You’ll need AMD’s TRX40 platform with a sTRX4 socket, which offers PCIe 4.0, quad-channel memory with ECC support, and NVMe RAID support.

Keep your cool in mind, too. Although CPU coolers have become more universally compatible in the past few years, the massive sTRX4 socket simply won’t work with most third-party coolers.

Power is also a big factor. All Threadripper 3000 chips have a massive TDP of 280w, nearly three times as much as the 3950X requires.

Threadripper 3000 is an achievement for AMD, with the 3990X pushing core and thread counts higher than ever before. The price is high, too, with the 3990X clocking in between $4,000 and $5,000, if you can find one in stock. For the vast majority of users, it’s wasted money. However, if you frequently do video transcoding or CAD work, especially professionally, the extra cores could mean more money in the bank.

Mobile Ryzen 3000

AMD kicked off its discussion of the Ryzen 3000 series CPUs at CES 2019 with the unveiling of its entire lineup of mobile CPUs. It confirmed earlier rumors from a leaked road map that suggested the Ryzen 3000 series mobile APUs would be code-named Picasso and built upon the Zen Plus architecture, rather than the Zen 2 design.

Mobile APU Cores/threads Process node L2 & L3 cache Base/Boost frequency Vega GPU cores GPU frequency TDP
Ryzen 7 3780U 4/8 12nm 6MB 2.3/4.0GHz 11 1,400MHz 15w
Ryzen 7 3750H 4/8 12nm 6MB 2. 3/4.0GHz 10 1,400MHz 35w
Ryzen 7 3700U 4/8 12nm 6MB 2.3/4.0GHz 10 1,400MHz 15w
Ryzen 5 3580U 4/8 12nm 6MB 2.1/3.7GHz 9 1,300MHz 15w
Ryzen 5 3550H 4/8 12nm 6MB 2.1/3.7GHz 8 1,200MHz 35w
Ryzen 5 3500U 4/8 12nm 6MB 2.1/3.7GHz 8 1,200MHz 15w
Ryzen 3 3300U 4/4 12nm 6MB 2.1/3.5GHz 6 1,200MHz 15w
Ryzen 3 3200U 2/4 12nm 5MB 2.6/3.5GHz 3 1,200MHz 15w
Athlon 300U 2/4 14nm 5MB 2.4/3.3GHz 3 1,000MHz 15w

The Ryzen 3000 mobile CPUs come in dual-core and quad-core varieties, with some sporting simultaneous multithreading for up to eight supported threads at one time. Boost clocks reach up to 4GHz on the fastest 3780U and 3750H CPUs, with entry-level options sitting well south of 3GHz.

Since these are based on the 12nm Zen Plus architecture, rather than the Zen 2 that the desktop 3000-series is built on, the performance improvement over the 2000-series Ryzen mobile chips is unlikely to be as dramatic as in the desktop space. However, the increases in clock speed will provide a small bump in power in compatible laptops.

As with that first-generation though, these chips are all AMD APUs, rather than just dedicated CPUs. They come bundled with Vega graphics cores, which make them relatively capable gaming chips. They’re not enough to make their systems gaming laptops, but they’re certainly more capable than Intel’s traditional UHD 620 onboard graphics.

The Ryzen 7 3780U, with its 11 Vega cores will be the most capable of the lot, but will only be found in Microsoft’s Surface Laptop 3, as an AMD Ryzen Microsoft Surface Edition processor. The same goes for the 3580U.

As exciting as that is though, AMD’s more recent Ryzen 4000 laptops are much more capable and are worth the upgrade if you can find the right deal, as they improve general compute and GPU performance considerably.

AMD Ryzen 3000 release date, news and rumors

AMD Ryzen 3rd Generation could seriously threaten Intel.

Audio player loading…

Thanks to all the AMD Ryzen 3000 CPUs on the market these days, you could say that Team Red is on its way to processor dominance. AMD improved the market with their first-generation Ryzen chips and, with the Ryzen 2nd-generation back in 2018, they managed to double Intel’s sales. It’s no surprise that Ryzen’s 3rd generation came with a lot of hype. Thankfully, Team Red managed to beat all expectations.

That’s because the AMD Ryzen 3000 CPUs introduced the 7-nanometer(nm) Zen 2 architecture into the mainstream. And, they managed to do so with an accessible price tag for the average buyer. Now, you can get a CPU with 16-cores and 32-threads without getting a high-end workstation thanks to the Ryzen 9 3950X, which broke world overclocking records when it was released. AMD has also released processors to win the hearts of budget gamers with chips like the Ryzen 3100. 

Considering Intel’s problems with releasing the 10nm Cannon Lake chips and it’s still having issues even in 2021, it’s no wonder that the AMD Ryzen 3000 processors have been such a big hit. And, thanks to the introduction of the new AMD Ryzen 5000 chips as well as the Ryzen 5000 CPUs for laptops, Team Red is establishing itself as the go-to chipmaker for content creators, gamers, and even casual users for the foreseeable future.  

Take a look at this page to learn everything you need to know about AMD Ryzen 3000. These older CPUs are still worth considering in 2021, especially because the Ryzen 5000 stock is as limited as ever. With a long list of modern motherboards already supporting Ryzen 5000, it should be easy for you to upgrade later when they’re more readily available.

AMD Ryzen 9 3900X | 5 stars | Incredible performance, PCIe 4.0, Beats Intel at the same price | Single core performance still behind, Included heatsink may not be enough

AMD Ryzen 3rd Generation price

At AMD’s Computex 2019 keynote, Team Red showcased several processors from the Ryzen 5 3600 to the Ryzen 9 3900X. These CPUs offer seriously impressive options from the mid-range to the high-end. Curiously, there have been no announcements of any 7nm Zen 2 processors for the budget sector, but at least AMD launched new APUs in the Ryzen 3 3300G and Ryzen 5 3400G at $99 (£94, AU$144) and $149 (£139, AU$240), respectively.

  • AMD Ryzen 9 3950X: $749 (about £590, AU$1,080)

AMD Ryzen 3rd Generation specs

Now that the AMD Ryzen 3rd Generation lineup has been released, we know exactly what’s inside these new 7nm processors for consumers. You should experience perceptible performance bumps, with power consumption taking a nosedive. Improvements all around.

The 7nm Zen 2 architecture found in AMD Ryzen 3rd Generation processors allows AMD to bring TDP down to just 65W in the Ryzen 5 3600, for one. It also implements a considerable 15% improvement to IPC (instructions per clock) performance. This should see performance go up, resulting in some of the best processors for gaming.

With the Ryzen 5 3600X, AMD takes the performance of the budget-minded Ryzen 5 2600X to another level, increasing IPC (instructions per clock) performance and clock speed while keeping the same price point. 

Of course, if we can’t talk about AMD’s affordable releases without mentioning the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, which delivers mid-range gaming performance for much cheaper, and its lower-specced sibling, the AMD Ryzen 3 3100. The Ryzen 3 3300X boasts double the amount of L3 cache over its predecessor and manages to be about 10-20% faster with its 4 cores, 8 threads and 4.3GHz in boost clock. The Ryzen 3 3100, on the other hand, has the same amount of L3 cache, as well as the same number of cores and threads. However, it has a boost clock of only 3.6GHz.

On the high-end, there’s the Ryzen 9 3950X, an absolute monster of a processor, with 16 cores and 32 threads and a boost clock of 4.7GHz. These specs are stunning in their own right, but what really takes it to the next level is that it manages to do it with a relatively low 105W TDP. 

Next to it is the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, and while it’s not as impressive as the 3950X – at least on paper – it still packs 12-cores and 24-threads of high-performance power. With boost clocks up to 4.6GHz, it’s an impressive amount of power for that 105W TDP, even if temperatures get a little high. And, for about the same price point, the Ryzen 9 3900X is between 25%-40% faster than the Intel Core i9-9900K in multi-threaded loads.

And there’s the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, which boasts 8-core, 16-thread and a TDP of just 65W. Just like the Ryzen 9 3900X, it’s also an absolute beast when it comes to multi-threaded workloads.

As far as the rumored new wave of Ryzen 3000 processors, well, the AMD Ryzen 9 3900 would be a lower-powered version of the excellent AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, with a similar relationship between the Ryzen 7 3700 and the Ryzen 7 3700X. They apparently will have the same core and thread counts as their X counterparts, only with a 65W TDP.

However, AMD Ryzen 3rd Generation is more than just the mid-range and the top-end. If a new leak is to be trusted, we may be seeing an AMD Ryzen 3 3100 and an AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, both of which would be 4-core, 8-thread entry-level 65W processors. 

We went ahead and listed out all the specs of the confirmed Ryzen 3000 processors below:

  • AMD Ryzen 9 3950X – 16-cores, 32-threads | 4.7GHz boost, 3.5GHz base | 105W
  • AMD Ryzen 9 3900X – 12-cores, 24-threads | 4. 6GHz boost, 3.8GHz base | 105W 
  • AMD Ryzen 7 3800X – 8-cores, 16-threads | 4.5GHz boost, 3.9GHz base | 105W
  • AMD Ryzen 7 3700X – 8-cores, 16-threads | 4.4GHz boost, 3.6GHz base | 65W
  • AMD Ryzen 5 3600X – 6-cores, 12-threads | 4.4GHz boost, 3.8GHz base | 95W
  • AMD Ryzen 5 3600 – 6-cores, 12-threads | 4.2GHz boost, 3.6GHz base | 65W
  • AMD Ryzen 3 3300X – 4-cores, 8-threads | 4.3GHz boost, 3.5GHz base | 65W
  • AMD Ryzen 5 3400G – 4-cores, 8-threads | 4.2GHz boost, 3.7GHz base | 65W
  • AMD Ryzen 3 3100 – 4-cores, 8-threads | 3.6GHz boost, 3.5GHz base | 65W

At every level, AMD Ryzen 3rd Generation brings better performance and concurrently lowers power consumption over the previous generation. Of course, AMD boasted some benchmarks where it flexed on the competition, but that’s par for the course.

The X570 chipset also marks a generational improvement in computing. Along with the faster processors, the biggest improvement is the support for PCIe 4.0, exclusive to AMD. This new generation of PCIe brings faster graphics cards and SSDs to AMD’s platform. It delivers up to 51% faster SSD performance, along with 69% faster graphics performance – though that will be exclusive to AMD Navi graphics cards for now.

X570 also brings native support to four SuperSpeed USB ports, with a maximum bandwidth of 10Gbps. This will support both USB-A and USB-C connections, and while it’s not as fast as Thunderbolt 3, the native support should lead to wider adoption across desktop motherboards.

Ryzen isn’t just about desktop components. At E3 2019, Microsoft revealed that its follow up to the Xbox, Project Scarlett, will be powered by a custom SoC made of a Zen 2 processor and an AMD Navi GPU. Slated for a «Holiday 2020» release, Project Scarlett is rumored to be four times more powerful than the Xbox One X having the ability to run games at 120FPS and potentially 8K resolutions.
