The AMD Ryzen R3 3100 and Ryzen 3 3300X had their review embargoes lifted today, with the R3 3100 and R3 3300X release date on May 21, 2020. Intel’s 10-series desktop CPUs (Comet Lake) will release one day before, on May 20, 2020, and that will include the Core i9-10900K, Core i7-10700K, Core i5-10600K, and Core i3 10300. For now, the AMD Ryzen 3 3100 most directly competes against AMD’s other products, like the rarely available AMD R5 1600 AF and the same-day launched AMD R3 3300X, priced at $20 more but significantly improved in some aspects, like CCX-to-CCX latency. We’ll explore that in a different video that posts a few hours from now. The Intel i3-9100F is worth mention, as is Intel’s Core i7-7700K and 7700K OC. We included benchmarks of the i7-7700K vs. AMD R3 3100 for easy reference. This follows-up our benchmarks of the best budget CPUs in 2020 and updates its data tables.
