AMD introduced their Ryzen PRO processors for business and commercial desktop PCs this morning. Included were specifications on the Ryzen PRO 3, which means we now have a solid idea of what the consumer Ryzen 3 will bring (seeing that every other announced Ryzen PRO chip has identical speeds and feeds as mainstream Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 processors). The Ryzen 3 Pro 1200 hovers between 3.1GHz and 3.4GHz, while the faster Ryzen 3 Pro 1300 rocks clocks between 3.5GHz and 3.7GHz: both are true quad-core chips without multi-threading.



With the release of the Ryzen PRO 3 specifications, AMD has now confirmed what we’ve been suspecting for the Ryzen 3 specifications for a while now. Ryzen 3 is a quad-core CPU without SMT, so we’re looking at just 4 threads instead of 8, albeit 4 threads without any of the resource contention SMT can sometimes cause. On which matter, it’s worth pointing out that AMD has already previously commented that Ryzen 3 will use the same die as Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7, so we’re looking at 4 cores distributed over 2 CCXs, like the Ryzen 5 1400 & 1500X. Similarly, AMD’s reveal indicates that Ryzen 3 will have the same cache structure as the lowest-end Ryzen 5, the 1400.
