Expecting restock
Available 4-core processors based on the Zen 2 microarchitecture (Matisse core, 7nm). Designed for installation in motherboards with AMD AM4 processor socket and 300/400/500 series chipsets. Suitable for equipping multi-purpose home systems, simple entry-level workstations and low-cost gaming configurations. Unlike their predecessors (Ryzen 3 with Zen microarchitecture, Summit Ridge core, 14 nm manufacturing process), these CPUs support proprietary Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) multi-threading technology, due to which each physical core is perceived by the operating system as two separate virtual ones. Thus, AMD Ryzen 3 Matisse processors show much higher performance in optimized multi-threaded applications (photorealistic rendering, video encoding and processing, code compilation, arc...hiving). In addition, architectural improvements and a more advanced workflow with 7nm standards have allowed higher clock speeds. Another innovation is support for the high-speed PCIe Gen 4.0 system interface, available on boards with 500-series chipsets. A free multiplier will help to achieve the desired result for overclocking enthusiasts.

Model overview based on user reviews  
The AMD Ryzen 3 Matisse series, including models like the 3100 and 3300X, offers impressive performance for its price range, making it a strong contender in the budget segment. Users appreciate the high performance and overclocking capabilities, with the 3300X delivering power comparable to higher-end models like the 3600 but at a lower cost. However, some users note that the stock cooler struggles with heat, especially under heavy loads, suggesting the need for a better cooling solution. The 3100 model is praised for its cool operation and 16 MB cache, although it operates at its limits in modern games without overclocking. Despite occasional issues like defective cores, the processors are generally well-received for their value and performance, making them a popular choice for gaming and multitasking on a budget.

Even though Intel is undercutting with the 10400F, AMD is still the master!

Good processor, switched to it from FX8320E. ,So this Ryzen 3300X is more than twice as powerful as the old dude! Memory taken 3600 Kingston HyperX, mother on b550 from MSI
I liked that with half the heat package I got twice as much productivity

great model, love it

I purchased it with the thought that someday I would buy a more expensive and powerful processor on the AM4 socket. This processor surprised me with its performance and the ability to overclock up to 4.7 MHz (I didn't try further, but I have a hunch that it's not the limit). Compared to my old Intel 2500s processor, now I can play games with the browser open, and not only that—at the same time, a virtual machine was running with a server, while on the home OS, a script was processing a database, and even with all this running, I could play Overwatch or Cyberpunk on ultra and medium settings without any lag (the graphics card isn't very strong—1060 3GB).
Performance
Overclocking capability up to 4.7 MHz
At a frequency of 4.7 MHz it heats up to 65-70 * C with air cooling. Perhaps it was worth choosing a better thermal paste than MX-2 or installing dropsy.

worth its price, although it's slightly overpriced.

choose a well-ventilated case.
Pulls everything off with flying colors, some say it's too hot, I overcame this by installing it in a well-ventilated case, 1 120mm fan for intake, 3 for exhaust. On the stock cooler, it runs at 40-45 degrees in applications, 60-65 degrees in games, which is quite acceptable.

People's Choice

The AMD Ryzen 3 3100 is the most affordable processor on the latest Zen 2 architecture. With only four cores and eight SMT threads, it outperforms the six-core-twelve-thread Ryzen 5 1600AF in games. In addition, thanks to the modern 7-nanometer process technology, the Ryzen 3 3100 is much colder and at the stock frequency is able to cool quietly even with a small boxed cooler.

Simple overclocking

The base frequency of the Ryzen 3 3100 is 3.6 GHz, Precision Boost single-core is 3.9 GHz, and all-core is 3.8 GHz. But the unlocked multiplier allows you to easily overclock the processor on motherboards with the B450 chipset and higher to a frequency of 4.2 – 4.3 GHz. In the latter case, the Ryzen 3 3100 seemed to match the older 3300X at the same frequency, but that wasn't the case.

Architectural features

The fact is that the processor cores of the Ryzen 3 3100 are separated by two different CCX models inside one CCD chip, which complicates the process of information exchange between them and leads to a slight, but in no way removable, leftover from the 3300X with a single CCX module. However, the price difference between the 3100 and 3300X is quite noticeable, which gives both processors the right to exist.

Choosing an esportsman

If you need the highest and, most importantly, stable frame rate in the latest and most demanding games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077, buy the older 3300X. If you are a fan of much less resource-intensive eSports games, such as CSGO or Dota 2, it would be wiser to save money on buying a younger 3100. By the way, another fresh AMD chip, Ryzen 3, has a similar number of Zen 2 cores and SMT threads (four to eight). PRO 4350G with Radeon Vega 6 graphics.
