Differences
Reasons to consider the AMD Ryzen 3 1200
- CPU is newer: launch date 4 year(s) 1 month(s) later
- Processor is unlocked, an unlocked multiplier allows for easier overclocking
- Around 33% higher maximum core temperature: 95°C vs 71.30°C
- A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor: 14 nm vs 32 nm SOI
- 2x more L1 cache, more data can be stored in the L1 cache for quick access later
- Around 31% better performance in PassMark - Single thread mark: 1930 vs 1473
- 2.2x better performance in PassMark - CPU mark: 6279 vs 2821
- Around 64% better performance in Geekbench 4 - Single Core: 802 vs 490
- Around 98% better performance in Geekbench 4 - Multi-Core: 2576 vs 1304
- 2.7x better performance in CompuBench 1.5 Desktop - T-Rex (Frames/s): 0.454 vs 0.167
- 2.2x better performance in CompuBench 1.5 Desktop - Bitcoin Mining (mHash/s): 6.131 vs 2.751
