Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The AMD Ryzen 3 1200 is a processor that lays a solid foundation for everyday use. It is based on the Pinnacle Ridge (Zen+) architecture and is manufactured in the 12 nm process. At the time of its release, this combination enabled a good balance of performance and efficiency for its class. With its four cores, the AMD Ryzen 3 1200 offers sufficient computing power for typical office applications, browsing, and light multitasking tasks.

The 8 MB Level 3 cache supports fast data processing. Even though it is no longer the newest chip on the market, it serves its purpose in systems that do not require extreme performance. Support for PCIe 3.0 is still widespread and offers connectivity for graphics cards and other expansion cards. With a maximum memory bandwidth of 43 GB/s, data can be transferred quickly to and from memory.

The AMD Ryzen 3 1200 is a good choice for price-conscious users or for building a simple home office computer.
  • Architecture: Zen+ (Pinnacle Ridge)
  • Manufacturing process: 12 nm
