Product overview

Announced on April 21, 2020 and available at retail from May 21, 2020, the Ryzen 3 3300X is a 3rd‑Gen AMD Ryzen desktop CPU based on the Zen 2 “Matisse” architecture. It targets the AM4 platform with DDR4‑3200 and PCIe 4.0 support on X570/B550 boards. The chip offers 4 cores and 8 threads at 3.8 GHz base and up to 4.3 GHz boost, and it’s multiplier‑unlocked. A discrete GPU is required (no integrated graphics).

Positioned as a budget‑tier part, it exists to deliver strong 1080p gaming and general responsiveness at low total platform cost. It’s well‑suited to budget builds and office/productivity rigs where single‑threaded speed matters. Unique note: it includes AMD’s Wraith Stealth cooler in the box.
