AMD Ryzen 3 3100 Processor (4C/8T, 18 MB Cache, 3.9 GHz Max Boost)

Product Information

I'd be curious to hear a second angler's opinion of it in terms of an all-purpose fishing tool like I use it, more so than just a Euro rig. I've been wanting to get a 10' 3wt rod to play around with tight lining, but primarily as a good weather float tube or indicator rod.

This is representative of the isolated legacy software we all keep around for one reason or another, in this case not optimized for modern many-core CPUs. For our test setup, we installed the AMD Ryzen 3 3100 into an MSI MEG Godlike X570 AM4 motherboard, and populated two of the DIMM slots with 16GB of memory set at 3,000MHz.We ran ours at 100 percent for a while as we experimented with overclocking these Ryzen 3s in AMD's Ryzen Master utility, and it sounded like a small vacuum cleaner at speed. Thanks to AMD Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) the core-count is effectively doubled, to 8 threads. Precision Boost Overdrive requires a desktop AMD Ryzen Threadripper, AMD Ryzen 5 3000, AMD Ryzen 7 3000, or AMD Ryzen 9 3000 Series processor and a motherboard compatible with one or more of these processors. An Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti handled video output during the CPU tests, clocked to Founders Edition specs.

It's a chip that shores up the low end of AMD's Ryzen stack as a solid pick for PC gamers who are just a Jackson short of what you'd spend on a 3300X. During that time, I've built and torn down enough desktop PCs to equip a city block's worth of internet cafes. At the moment of this writing, Intel's closest match for the Ryzen 3 3100 is the Core i3-9100, a four-core and (crucially) only four-thread CPU, which we ran some CPU tests on alongside this Ryzen 3 model.My concern is that I know performance can vary so much from different weight and lengths and the 3100-4 is a less common size. You can quickly size up your PC, identify hardware problems and explore the best value for money upgrades. Sometimes, being on a long-running platform is the decisive factor: You may already have an AMD AM4 motherboard that works with these new Ryzens with a BIOS update. It works with heads with built-in Quickfix flanges, the Vinten 3101-3 bolt-on flange, 3330-16 100mm half-ball adapter, and the 3330-17 150mm half-ball adapter.
