Last month, we got to see the Ryzen 3 2300X in Geekbench, listed alongside the Ryzen 5 2500X, which is another Ryzen budget chip launching soon. In terms of specifications, the Ryzen 3 2300X is a quad-core part which excels its predecessor in every department.

There’s no multi-threading support on this part however, the clocks are bumped to 3.50 GHz base and 4.00 GHz turbo with the added advantage of the 12nm process, precision boost overdrive and XFR enhanced. The chip is expected to sell for around $120 to $140 US which is insane value since this part is also almost similar in performance to the Intel Core i5-7600K or the new Intel Core i3 CPUs that also featurequad-core designs.
