Ryzen 3 1200 AF entered the market at a price of 55 euros, despite the fact that it is an almost complete copy of the Ryzen 3 2300X

Only the frequencies remained unchanged

Back in early March, we reported that AMD is preparing to “translate” your processor is another first-generation Ryzen on 12-nanometer process technology and architecture Zen +.

Recall that the Ryzen 5 1600 AF CPU, which actually represents the Ryzen 5 2600, has existed on the market for quite some time. AMD simply takes the Ryzen 5 2600, slightly reduces its frequencies and marks it as the Ryzen 5 1600 AF. This is done because the first-generation Ryzen is still in great demand, and 14-nanometer wafers for their production are simply not enough.

And now a similar fate befell Ryzen 3 1200. Now, if you want to buy such a CPU, it is better to look for the version labeled YD1200BBM4KAF, since this is actually Ryzen 3 2300X. Such a processor has already appeared on sale at a price of about 55 euros. The specifications remained at the same level: four cores, no support for SMT, frequencies 3.1-3.4 GHz and TDP 65 W. At this price, the Ryzen 3 1200 AF simply has no competitors from Intel.
