The AMD Ryzen 3 3300X is a desktop processor with 4 cores, released in 2020 at an MSRP of $120. It is part of the Ryzen 3 lineup, using the Ryzen 3000 platform, and fits the AM4 socket. Internally, it is built on the "Zen 2" architecture. Thanks to AMD Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT), each core can handle two instruction streams simultaneously, yielding a total of 8 threads for improved parallelism. The Ryzen 3 3300X has a base clock of 3.8 GHz and can boost up to 4.3 GHz depending on workload and thermal headroom. AMD manufactures the "Zen 2" silicon on a 7nm process node. The multiplier is unlocked, making overclocking straightforward. This processor supports DDR4 memory. ECC memory is supported, provided the motherboard enables it. With a TDP of 65W, the Ryzen 3 3300X is an efficient chip suitable for modest cooling solutions. This processor has no integrated graphics — a discrete GPU is required. The cache hierarchy consists of 64KB/core of L1, 2MB of L2, and 16MB of L3 cache.
