Specifications and connection of peripherals supported by Ryzen 3 3100 and Ryzen 3 4100. PCIe version

The Ryzen 5 4500 is also limited to PCIe 3.0 connectivity, a disadvantage compared to Intel's support for PCIe 5.0 — particularly for the productivity-minded, who might appreciate the faster throughput of a PCIe 4.0 SSD. The Core i3-12100 also supports DDR4 or DDR5 memory, while the Ryzen 5 4500 is limited to DDR4. That doesn't factor in much because DDR5's premium pricing isn't a good fit for this class of chips. The Core i3-12100 and 12100F remain the hands-down winners for budget gaming builds. Most budget builders are looking for the best all-rounder chip they can buy, and here the Core i3-12100 and 12100F unquestionably offer the best blend of performance in gaming, single- and multi-threaded work, along with more modern connectivity options.

Questions and comments

Description of the processorAs one of the last processors, the AMD Ryzen 3 4100 was presented by AMD in the 2nd quarter of 2022. It is based on the older Zen 2 architecture, which, for example, has a smaller Level 3 cache than the Zen 3 processors. The AMD Ryzen 3 4100 has 4 CPU cores of the same size which, thanks to the support of AMDs SMT (Simultaneous Multi-Threading) technology, can process 8 threads (two per CPU core) at the same time.

You'll probably need this information if you require some particular technology. Instruction set extensions We've experienced that single-core performance is essential for some games, as many don't take full advantage of multiple cores.MMX(+), SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, SSE4A,-64, AMD-V, AES, AVX, AVX2, FMA3, SHA, Precision Boost 2 Aside from the disabled iGPU, these chips have the same Renoir design as the OEM-only Ryzen 7 4750G (hit the link for the full architectural details), including support for PCIe 3.0 instead of PCIe 4.0. As a result, this chip will make a great pairing for older, lower-end AM4 motherboards (you definitely don't want to pay for functionality you don't need by pairing it with a PCIe 4.0-supporting motherboard). This article evaluates AMD's Ryzen 3 4100 desktop CPU. We evaluated AMD's Ryzen 3 4100 and compared it to others to determine which provides the best value as a gaming CPU. We shaped our testing methodology to focus on each CPU's attributes rather than solely on benchmarks. From what we are able to gather, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D will be officially announced with its pricing in the coming days but the availability isn't expected until the 20th of April. As for the other Ryzen mainstream chips, those are expected to be announced on the 15th of March but will come to retail shelves slightly earlier on the 4th of April. So summing up the launch plans:
