Product overview

Released on July 27, 2017, the Ryzen 3 1200 is a first‑generation Ryzen 1000‑series CPU based on Zen 1 “Summit Ridge” for socket AM4. It’s a 4‑core/4‑thread 65 W part at 3.1/3.4 GHz (base/boost), multiplier‑unlocked, with no integrated graphics. It supports dual‑channel DDR4‑2667 and ECC on motherboards that enable it, and the boxed SKU includes AMD’s Wraith Stealth cooler.

Positioned in the budget tier, it exists to provide an inexpensive quad‑core entry point to the AM4 platform with overclocking headroom. It’s best for budget builds and office/productivity, and—with a discrete GPU—suits 1080p gaming in esports and lighter titles. Discontinued status is not officially documented.
