AMD Ryzen 3 3300X vs AMD Ryzen 9 3900

AMD Ryzen 3 3300X

► remove from comparison AMD R3 3300X

The Ryzen 3 3300X is a mid-range desktop processor of the Matisse series with 4 cores and 8 threads. It clocks from 3.8 (base) - 4.3 GHz (boost) and uses the Zen 2 microarchitecture. It uses all four cores in a single CCX-cluster, unlike the slower Ryzen 3 3100 which uses two clusters. The CPU is manufactured in the modern 7nm process at TSMC. The I/O die on the package is separate and manufactured in 12 nm at Globalfoundries. The TDP is specified at 65 Watt and therefore the CPU wont need a big beefy cooler.

Thanks to the high clock rates, the Ryzen 3300X is performing similar than the old Core i7-7700K (a former high end CPU) and therefore a good pick for entry level gaming systems.

AMD Ryzen 9 3900

► remove from comparison AMD R9 3900

The Ryzen 9 3900 is a fast desktop CPU with 12 cores and 24 threads based on the Matisse series. It is the fastest 65 Watt CPU at launch in late 2019 and clocks the cores between 3.1 (base) to 4.3 (boost) clock (including Precision Boost). It uses 4 CCX-clusters where 3 of the 4 cores are activated. The CPU is manufactured in the modern 7nm process at TSMC. The I/O die on the package is separate and manufactured in 12 nm at Globalfoundries.

Due to the reduced Turbo speed, the Ryzen 9 3900 is aimed at content creators and other professionals that can make use of the 12 cores. For games, a fast 8-core CPU with higher boost clocks is the better choice.
