They gained 52% IPC over their last gen excavator chips while reducing power.  Discussing ZEN will be very long topic so if you want to know more check out AMD,AnandTech.

SenseMI Technology

It is a group of five technologies that helps to bring out the best from RYZEN CPUs.

1. Pure Power
2. Precision Boost
3. Extended Frequenter Range(XFR)
4. Neural Net Prediction

Benchmarks

The resolution for the all benchmarks are at 1080p.First of all some CPU tests,

Now let us move to some GPU based benchmarks and games.

From the benchmarks we see that overclocking the CPU yields in increase in all across the benchmarks somewhere it is minute like Unigine Heaven,Valley and Doom. However we see that in GeekBench 3&4 the overclocked RYZEN 3 1200 yields better score in single core while it decreases in multi core. In Crysis 3 and Battlefield 1 we see a decrease in fps(It is in the margin of error). In GTA V we were not able to complete the benchmark run because it was crashing when we oced the cpu to 3.8Ghz.

Our Verdict

Is it worth it?...........

If you are new to gaming or an a tight budget then it is definitely worth to buy,as it has a low clock speed you can overclock it to gain even more performance out of it. Here we paired it with a X370 board but we will recommend using a B350 board over this. A B350 board is available for cheap(from ₹6.5K onwards) so it will better over a A320 board and X370 would be an overkill.

If you are planning to a make a HTPC where you would use a igpu then it is not worth to buy a RYZEN 3 as they don't have a igpu but if would be buying a external GPU they go for RYZEN 3 as it cheapest quad core cpu available on the market. A RYZEN 3 based platform# would cost more than Intel' i3 based platform# as RYZEN requires a dedicated gpu.

We overclocked using RYZEN MASTER utility as overclocking was not possible via BIOS(maybe they have locked it down due to current voltage issue or maybe some other issue). We will making a comparison blog on  RYZEN 3 vs Intel cpus as well so stay tuned of that.

And lastly thanks to AMD India for the RYZEN 3 1200 & Gigabyte India for the AX370-Gaming 5.
