Notes
The Ryzen 3 1200 offers 4 cores and 4 threads with efficient 65W TDP on first-generation Zen architecture. Boosting up to 3.4 GHz, it provided the most affordable entry to the AM4 platform at launch. While first-gen Zen with modest specifications, it offered budget 4-core computing. Despite its age, it remains viable for basic computing tasks and office use. The AM4 platform maturity ensures broad motherboard compatibility and extremely low pricing for entry-level systems.
