Model overview based on user reviews  
The AMD Ryzen 3 Summit Ridge is a budget-friendly processor that offers solid performance for its price. It features four physical cores and supports overclocking, making it a competitive choice against similar models like the i3-8100. Users appreciate its ability to overclock up to 4.2GHz, providing enhanced performance for gaming and other tasks. However, it lacks integrated graphics, requiring a discrete GPU for optimal use. Some users noted potential issues with driver compatibility for integrated graphics, but overall, it is considered a good option for budget builds. The processor maintains a low temperature, although some report it can reach up to 65°C under load. Despite minor drawbacks, such as the lack of SMT virtual threads and integrated graphics, the Ryzen 3 Summit Ridge is praised for its affordability and capability, especially when paired with a suitable motherboard for overclocking.

There are no analogues for your money

In short, I decided to put together an assembly for 40k and besides this prototype I couldn’t find anything better. For gaming, I recommend immediately overclocking it to at least 3.9 (Preferably), as well as selecting memory standards and also raising it to 3000 or 3200
Price Low temperature (suitable with any cooler for 500 rubles) You can safely overclock up to 4.3 (on a decent motherboard)
In stock it hits 100
use AMD 1200 OEM 14 nm few months
The processor is worth the money, I recommend to buy!

The best budget processor at the moment. Works like the i3-8100, but purchasing this Ryzen 1200 processor is better, overclocking is available here, and you don't pay extra for the blue sticker.
Price, performance, quiet cooler.
Lack of integrated graphics

good model, like it

The processor has been working without issues for five years. Bought it for 2 thousand. I would, of course, like 8 threads, but it is what it is. For now, I recommend finding a used 2600/3600 for the same price.

The missing piece of the puzzle

First, AMD released the flagship sixteen-thread Ryzen 7 processors, then the mid-price eight- and twelve-thread Ryzen 5, and only at the very end the low-cost quad-core Ryzen 3 without SMT technology support (that is, the number of cores is equal to the number of threads). The entry-level Ryzen 3 is the $110 1200, which is cheaper than four-threaded Core i3s ($120), not to mention quad-core Core i5s ($180). The performance of four physical cores is approximately equal to six virtual threads.

Big step forward

The Ryzen 3 1200 is based on the 14nm Zen architecture (for comparison, the AM3+ processors were 32nm and the FM2+ were 28nm). A more thorough technical process made it possible to fit one and a half times more computing power within the framework of the previous 65 W heat pack. The only pity is that by default the Ryzen 3 1200 operates at a relatively low frequency of 3.1 – 3.4 GHz.

Mandatory Overclocking

Of course, the unlocked multiplier allows you to resort to overclocking (up to 3.9 – 4 GHz). But this will require a more expensive motherboard: on the B350 or X370 chipset, while the low-cost A320 lacks overclocking functionality. In order not to waste time on overclocking, you can immediately buy a slightly higher-frequency version of the Ryzen 3 1300X. Ryzen 3 chips, like other already released Zen, do not have integrated graphics (models with graphics will appear only in 2018), so it’s worth buying as the basis of a gaming PC with a discrete graphics card with a total low-cost of $600-700.
