Differences

Reasons to consider the AMD Ryzen 3 1200

  • CPU is newer: launch date 3 year(s) 10 month(s) later
  • Processor is unlocked, an unlocked multiplier allows for easier overclocking
  • 2 more cores, run more applications at once: 4 vs 2
  • Around 32% higher maximum core temperature: 95°C vs 72°C
  • A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor: 14 nm vs 22 nm
  • 3x more L1 cache, more data can be stored in the L1 cache for quick access later
  • 4x more L2 cache, more data can be stored in the L2 cache for quick access later
  • 2.7x more L3 cache, more data can be stored in the L3 cache for quick access later
  • Around 3% better performance in PassMark - Single thread mark: 1933 vs 1881
  • Around 90% better performance in PassMark - CPU mark: 6297 vs 3308
  • Around 5% better performance in Geekbench 4 - Single Core: 802 vs 766
