About the AMD Ryzen 3 1200 CPU
The AMD Ryzen 3 1200 is a 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q3 2017 with a suggested retail price of $109. It is part of AMD's Ryzen 3 lineup, which is based on the Zen microarchitecture. The 1200 is compatible with AMD Socket AM4 motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 14 nm manufacturing process.
Memory and Cache
The Ryzen 3 1200 supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 3 1200 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 96 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 8 MB.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Ryzen 3 1200 features 4 total cores which can process 4 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.1 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.4 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.
