AMD was one of the first to understand that the semiconductor crisis would last for more than one month. And at the beginning of 2020, they made a strange feint with their ears and released the obsolete first-generation Ryzen 3 chips for sale, but made using a more modern 12nm process technology. Thanks to this, the Ryzen 3 1600 pumped almost to the level of the Ryzen 2600, regained its former positions and again became the most interesting low-cost processor in the AMD range. Looking at the success of the operation and the pessimistic forecasts for deliveries, AMD decided to turn a feint with their ears and resurrect the old AMD 1200.
Price at the level of Intel Pentium processors
This time, the slightly more modest Ryzen 3 2200G has become a role model. From now on, both processors are built on a 12-nm process technology, and the difference in frequency during auto-overclocking is 0.3 GHz. Because of this, in normal mode, our test sample lags behind its Ryzen 3 2200G by an average of 10 – 15%, depending on the task. For example, in the Passmark test for overall performance, we got 6741 versus 7325 points. With a little manual overclocking (thankfully the multiplier is unlocked here) Ryzen 1200, we quite easily brought the performance of both models to a common denominator. At the same time, AMD Ryzen 3 1200 can be bought for a modest $ 80 (and this is for the version with a cooler), while Ryzen 3 2200G will cost almost twice as much.
Comes with a cooler
Given that the Ryzen 1200 is not multi-threaded, it will be a great option for the most low-cost-conscious users who are not ready to invest in a powerful build right now, but plan to do so in the future. After all, AMD uses the same AM4 socket for all Ryzen chips, so if you upgrade to a more powerful processor, you don't necessarily have to change the motherboard. Well, right now, paired with an RTX 2060 SUPER-level graphics card, our hero is able to provide up to 60 FPS in such demanding projects as Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Cyberpunk 2077 and Far Cry 6. And this is at predominantly high graphics settings and Full HD resolution.
