Notes

The Ryzen 3 3300X became a legendary budget CPU with 4 cores and 8 threads on Zen 2 architecture, boosting up to 4.3 GHz. This processor delivered exceptional gaming performance that rivaled much more expensive CPUs, thanks to its single-CCX design reducing latency. Despite being entry-level Ryzen 3, it often matched or exceeded higher-tier processors in gaming. Perfect for budget gaming builds prioritizing frame rates over core counts. The combination of Zen 2 architecture, high clocks, and optimized CCX layout made it one of the best value gaming CPUs ever released, though availability was always limited.
