Can you believe that the budget processors of today can already compete with flagships that are just a few years old? According to early Geekbench numbers spotted by APISAK, AMD’s new Zen 2-based Ryzen 3 3300X processor performs almost as good as a Core i7-7700K, Intel’s flagship processor for 2017. That CPU launched for about $330 – but AMD’s offering will be available later next month for just $120.

“The Ryzen 3 3300X scored 5,874 points in the single-core test and 20,948 points in the multi-core test on Geekbench 4,” reported Tom’s Hardware. “The software reported a memory speed of 1,863 MHz, which we suspect should be 3,733 MHz. This means that there was probably some hardcore memory tuning in the background and that the Ryzen 3 3300X was overclocked.”
“The Intel Core i7-7700K, which was Intel’s last quad-core flagship, scored 5,816 points and 20,329 points in the single-core and multi-core tests, respectively.To be fair, the i7-7700K was paired with DDR4-3200 RAM, while the Ryzen 3 3300X was working with DDR4-3733 memory. Depending on the memory speed, the scale can tip to either side.”
Cinebench R15 scores have also placed AMD’s Ryzen 3 3300X in a very positive light. The budget SKU was able to score 199 in one single-core test, just one point under Intel’s Core i7-7700K, i7-7740X, and i9-9960X.
