AMD today released two models of its mainstream-priced, high-efficiency AMD Ryzen 3 desktop processor, the AMD Ryzen 3 1300X and AMD Ryzen 3 1200 CPUs. Ryzen 3 processors come equipped with true quad-core unlocked performance for computing and gaming, and join the award-winning AMD Ryzen™ 7 and Ryzen™ 5 desktop processors with a large and growing AM4 motherboard ecosystem.
​

Starting today, there are two 4-core, 4-thread Ryzen 3 desktop CPUs available for purchase, both of which support the new AM4 infrastructure found throughout the entire mainstream Ryzen processor lineup. AMD Ryzen 3 1300X and Ryzen 3 1200 are designed to deliver optimum performance for esports gaming and computing applications. Thanks to four physical processing cores, the Ryzen 3 1300X and Ryzen 3 1200 boast impressive multiprocessing advantages compared to the competition while delivering impressive game performance. And like all socket AM4 processors, Ryzen 3 is multiplier-unlocked to provide even more performance to users who appreciate the freedom to overclock.

Pricing: Ryzen 3 1300X: 4-core, 4-thread, 3.5 GHz / 3.7 GHz, $129 - Rzen 3 1200: 4-core, 4-thread, 3.1 GHz/ 3.4 GHz, $109

4 core, 4 thread... hmm.

I want them to announce the Ryzen APUs already.

Hopefully, it will also push manufacturers to produce better matx mobos.

right about now the B350M-A I had since launch on my r7 1700 is running 4 ghz with just glued on heatsink on vrm, 24/7 with TONS of load...
it runs good, but it's still nothing I'd write home about at the price...

works good, but I'd want more, the board will eventually end up as a vmware host when zen2 is out and my 1700 is "old" :D
Hoping for new proper good value boards then :D
 
Same problem as Core i3: When a cheaper Pentium isn't good enough a Ryzen 3 probably won't cut it either. You're better off buying a Ryzen 5.
 
For what I'm needing, after looking at the reviews, this won't do. I can see it being good where a high-end CPU isn't needed, but better than Intel IGP is needed. Right now I need an office machine, for which Intel IGP is more than adequate. The price/performance ration gets skewed heavily in the i3's favor once I have to factor in purchasing a GPU. Looks like low profile 710 cards start at $35, and if I wanted current gen, the lowest LP card I can find is a 1030, starting at $69.

With the Ryzen 3 trading blows with the i3, once the extra cost of the video card is factored in, Ryzen 3 loses it's advantage for my office work. I'm sad, because I really wanted to go that route. Not sure if I can hold out for the Ryzen APU's or not.

Fair enough, however you CAN get a mobo with integrated video to pair up with Ryzen 3:
Edit: Nope, I am wrong, they are just getting ready for the APU.
IS there mobos with onboard graphics any more?
Maybe Ryzen APUs are just around the corner I guess.

Onboard graphics in the Northbridge died off with 775/AM3(+).
 
For a pure desktop machine you should be going G4560 or G4600 anyway the i3-7100 is irrelevant.

I'm wondering why AMD released the APU's on the last architecture instead of Ryzen. A 1200 APU at $119 or $124 would be a good value for business I'd think.
