The AMD Ryzen 3 1200 (not to be confused with the E1-1200 from 2012) is a quad-core desktop processor with no SMT support (4 threads only). As of mid-2017, the Ryzen 3 is the slowest quad-core desktop Ryzen CPU.
Performance
The average 1200 in our database fails to outgun the Core i7-8550U, a quad-core laptop CPU, in multi-thread benchmarks. In other words, this is a rather unimpressive chip, as of mid 2022, and the unlocked multiplier isn't enough to sweeten the deal. Find out more in our full review.
Power consumption
This Ryzen 3 series chip has a default TDP, also known as the long-term power limit, of 65 W that it is very likely to abide by, considering the modest clock speeds and the absence of an integrated GPU.
The R3 1200 is built with a 14 nm process for really low, as of mid 2023, energy efficiency.
