判决

AMD Ryzen 3 3300X 是用于游戏和生产力的最佳预算友好型计算机处理器。^{(computer processor)}它以非常合理的价格出售，您获得的性能非常棒。这在需要单核性能并从中受益的应用程序中尤其明显，例如游戏。^{(require and benefit)}Ryzen 3 3300X 正在定义我们向任何人推荐的预算性能^{(budget performance)}的新基准。

硬件规格

发布时，锐龙3^{(Ryzen 3)} 3300X 的售价约为 120 美元。它是一款价格实惠的 CPU，采用Zen 2架构，并具有该架构的所有优点，包括支持PCI Express 4 ( PCIe 4 )。有关PCIe 4^{(PCIe 4)}和PCIe 3之间的比较，请阅读：PCI Express 4 vs PCIe 3：是否有性能改进^{(performance improvement)}？。与锐龙3000^{(Ryzen 3000)}系列的所有其他处理器一样，^(Just) 3300X 采用 7 纳米制造工艺制造^{(manufacturing process)}。

AMD Ryzen 3 3300X拥有四个核心和八个处理线程，主频为 3.8 GHz。单核上的最大提升频率^{(boost frequency)}高达 4.3 GHz。这款经济实惠的处理器比AMD Ryzen 5 3600 和 3600X 少两个内核，但它们的基本时钟和涡轮时钟^{(base and turbo clocks)}相似。事实上，3300X 比 Ryzen 5 3600 拥有更快的基本^{(Ryzen 5)}时钟^{(base clock)}（200 MHz）和涡轮增压时钟^{(turbo boost clock)}（100 MHz） 。与Ryzen 5 3600X相比， 3300X 提供的升压时钟^{(boost clock)}低 100MHz，尽管它们的基本时钟^{(base clock)}是相同的。但是，AMD Ryzen 3 3300X 的^{(AMD Ryzen 3)}3 级^{(Level 3)} 高速缓存^{(cache memory)}也较少：16 MB 与 32^{(MB vs 32)} MB (3600X)。

这些观察让我们认为Ryzen 3 3300X 看起来就像是去掉了两个核心的Ryzen 5 3600X。无论哪种方式，因为它能够维持高单核提升频率^{(single-core boost frequency)}，对于那些想要在预算内构建游戏计算机的人来说， Ryzen 3 3300X 看起来是一个绝佳的选择。^{(Ryzen 3)}

Ryzen 3 3300X的默认TDP仅为 65W，AMD还捆绑了Wraith Stealth 库存^{(Wraith Stealth stock)}冷却器。它不是一个豪华的散热器，缺少RGB 照明^{(RGB lighting)}，但它应该可以很好地完成它的工作。不管怎样^(Anyway)，总比没有好，这就是你从英特尔^(Intel)同等价位的处理器中得到的。

AMD Ryzen 3 3300X 支持在双通道模式下以 3200 MHz运行的快速DDR4 RAM ，尽管获得最佳^{(DDR4 RAM)}性价比^{(performance ratio)}的最佳选择是让自己一些运行在 3600 MHz的^(MHz)DDR4 DIMM^{(DDR4 DIMMs)}。

AMD Ryzen 3 3300X 使用AM4插槽并支持 PCI Express^{(AM4 socket and supports PCI Express)} 4。这意味着，即使它是预算处理器^{(budget processor)}，它也为那些希望能够在未来使用新的PCIe 4显卡的人提供了充足的空间例如卡或SSD^(SSDs)。此外^{(Furthermore)}，在我们说话的时候， AMD还推出了新的B550 主板^{(B550 motherboard)}芯片组，这意味着我们应该很快就会看到市场上的主流主板，其价格比现有的 X570 主板更实惠。

B550主板将支持基于Zen 2架构的^{(Zen 2)}锐龙^(Ryzen)处理器，以及使用下一代Zen 3架构的处理器。但是，目前，如果您不需要PCI Express 4，您也可以在带有X470、X370或B450等芯片组的旧主板上使用Ryzen 3 3300X ，尽管只能使用PCI Express 3。

AMD Ryzen 3 3300X 看起来像是一款出色的计算机处理器。它的快速基础频率和单核加速时钟应该使它能够处理最新的游戏，而不会成为你显卡的瓶颈。让我们看看基准测试告诉我们什么：^{(The AMD Ryzen 3 3300X looks like an excellent computer processor. Its fast base frequency and the single-core boost clock should make it capable of handling even the newest games, without it becoming a bottleneck for your graphics card. Let's see what the benchmarks tell us:)}

在基准测试和游戏中的表现

我们在具有以下硬件和软件^{(hardware and software)}的 PC 上测试了AMD Ryzen 3 3300X 处理器：

• 主板：华硕ROG Crosshair VIII Hero^{(ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero)}（Wi-Fi）
• 内存：HyperX Predator DDR4 RGB 内存^{(HyperX Predator DDR4 RGB Memory)}（2 x 8GB，3200MHz）
• 显卡：华硕 ROG STRIX ^(Card)GTX 1660 ^{(ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1660)} Ti GAMING OC
• 存储：ADATA XPG Gammix S11 Pro SSD
• 显示器：华硕 ROG Strix XG32VQ 曲面电竞显示器^{(ASUS ROG Strix XG32VQ Curved Gaming Monitor)}（32 英寸WQHD 2560 x^{(x 1440)} 1440，144Hz）
• 电源^{(Power Supply Unit)}：ASUS ROG Thor 850W Platinum
• 操作系统^{(Operating System)}：Windows 10 Pro x64，2019年 11 月^{(November 2019)} 更新^(Update)

为了更好地了解AMD Ryzen 3 3300X 提供的性能，我们将其基准测试结果与其他AMD Ryzen处理器进行了比较，包括 6 核Ryzen 5 3600X、Ryzen 5 3600 和最近推出的Ryzen 3 3100。

首先，我们使用CPU-Z对^(CPU-Z)Ryzen 3 3300X 进行了基准测试。在Single Thread中，这款处理器获得了 490 分。这是一个出色的结果，显示出出色的单核性能，这在游戏中尤为重要。Ryzen 3 3300X 比Ryzen 5 3600X 慢 2.4% ，比Ryzen 5 3600快 4.1%，比Ryzen 3 3100快 6.5% 。此外，根据CPU-Z，Ryzen 3 3300X 提供与您相同的性能从Intel Core i7-7700K CPU获取。

在CPU-Z 的^(CPU-Z's)多线程测试中，我们得到了 2699 的分数。锐龙3^{(Ryzen 3)} 3300X 只有四核，因此我们预计它的成绩会低于其 6 核锐龙5^{(Ryzen 5)}兄弟。锐龙3^{(Ryzen 3)} 3300X 的得分比锐龙5 3600 低 26.2%，比锐龙^{(Ryzen 5)}5^{(Ryzen 5)} 3600X低 32.8% 。不过，相比锐龙3^{(Ryzen 3)} 3100，3300X 在多线程操作上要快 6.1%。此外，根据CPU-Z，在多线程基准测试中，锐龙3^{(Ryzen 3)} 3300X 比英特尔酷睿 i7-7700K处理器快一点（1.9%）。^{(Intel Core i7-7700K)}这是相当令人印象深刻的！

接下来，我们继续进行渲染基准测试^{(rendering benchmarks)}，并从Cinebench R20开始。在使用所有处理器内核的多线程测试中，AMD Ryzen 3 3300X 得分为 2355 分。比锐龙5 3600X低26.9%，比锐龙5 ^{(Ryzen 5)}3600X^{(Ryzen 5)}低近33.1% 。这很正常，因为此测试使用了所有处理器内核，而 3600 和 3600X 各有六个内核，而 3300X 只有四个。另一方面，3300X 比同样有四个核心的更便宜的Ryzen 3 3100 快 7.9%。^{(Ryzen 3)}

在Blender Benchmark中，我们渲染了两个不同的场景（bmw27 和教室^{(bmw27 and classroom)}）。该基准测量计算机完成场景渲染所需的时间。如果一个处理器比其他处理器需要更少的时间，这意味着它更快。因为它的内核比列表中的其他CPU少，所以^(CPUs)AMD Ryzen 3 3300X 需要 23.8 分钟才能完成。从百分比来看，它比锐龙5 3600 慢 4%，比锐龙^{(Ryzen 5)}5^{(Ryzen 5)} 3600X慢 6.85% 。但是，它也比锐龙 3^{(Ryzen 3)} 3100 处理器快 9.9%。

7-Zip是一款用于压缩文件的应用程序，也是衡量处理器多线程性能的好方法。使用AMD Ryzen 3 3300X，我们测得的压缩速度^{(compression speed)}为 29 MB/s，比Ryzen 5 3600 或Ryzen 5 3600X 的压缩速度低 27.5%。考虑到 3300X 只有四个核心，而另外两个有六个核心，这是一个很好的结果。与锐龙3^{(Ryzen 3)} 3100相比，3300X% faster。

7-Zip的解压速度为 497 MB/s，低于你从Ryzen 5处理器获得的速度，后者多两个内核（比 3600 慢 30.2%，比 3600X 慢 34.6%）。3300X 也比AMD Ryzen 3 3100 处理器快 6.64%。

接下来，我们继续使用PCMark 10测量处理器在日常活动中的性能。该基准评估计算机在网页浏览^{(web browsing)}、视频会议^{(video conferencing)}、应用程序启动时间、生产力和数字内容创建^{(content creation)}等领域的速度。Ryzen 3 3300X 给我们留下了深刻的印象。尽管它比锐龙 5^{(Ryzen 5)} 3600 少了两个核心，但它的得分却高出 4.45%，这可能是因为它的升压时钟略高。与 3600X 相比，3300X 的得分低 4.52%，而与锐龙3^{(Ryzen 3)} 3100 相比，3300X 高 5.8%。总而言之，这表明AMD Ryzen 33300X 也是提高生产力的绝佳选择，而不仅仅是游戏。

接下来，我们检查了AMD Ryzen 3 3300X 在上网时的表现。为了衡量其性能，我们使用了Google Chrome中的^{(Google Chrome)}JetStream 2基准测试。分数越高，处理器越快。当我们看到锐龙3 3300X 与锐龙^{(Ryzen 3)}5^{(Ryzen 5)} 3600X一样快时，我们感到很惊讶。它实际上比我们列表中的所有其他人都快。最明显的差异是针对Ryzen 3 3100，它比 3300X 慢 10.8%。这一结果是AMD Ryzen 3^{(AMD Ryzen 3)} 3300X提供的出色单核性能的结果。

对于许多计算机处理器来说，游戏性能是一个重要方面。我们运行的下一个基准测试是针对游戏玩家的。为了避免任何可能的瓶颈，我们将游戏配置为使用 1080p 分辨率和最低的图形质量设置。

在《古墓丽影之影》中^{(Shadow of the Tomb Raider)}，AMD Ryzen 3 3300X 的CPU Render 得分^{(CPU Render score)}为每秒 191 帧。它比Ryzen 3 3100 所能提供的多 15.19%。尽管它比锐龙 5 3600 或 3600X 能做的要少，但这个结果令人印象深刻。可能得益于其单核性能，如果您的显卡不会成为计算机性能的瓶颈，您可以使用 3300X 以高质量设置和FHD分辨率运行任何游戏，包括 2020 年推出的游戏。^(FHD)

在Metro Exodus中，这是我们玩过的最苛刻的游戏之一，无论是在视频还是处理器性能^{(video and processor performance)}方面，AMD Ryzen 3 3300X 的平均帧速率为^{(frame rate)}109。这仅比我们从AMD Ryzen 5 3600X，它与我们用AMD Ryzen 3600测量的 fps 相同。从锐龙3^{(Ryzen 3)} 3100 的帧率^{(frame rate)}来看，3300X 能够多渲染 3.77% 的 fps。

在针对多线程优化的游戏World War Z中，我们测量了 175 fps。^{(World War Z)}这比六核锐龙5^{(Ryzen 5)} 3600X 和 3600 处理器的性能要低（fps 分别降低 16.27% 和 10.26%），但比价格更实惠的锐龙 3^{(Ryzen 3)} 3100 CPU提供的性能高 11.43%。Ryzen 3 3300X 也设法在这款游戏中提供出色的性能，证实它对于任何预算游戏电脑^{(budget gaming computer)}来说都是一个不错的选择。

为了测试AMD Ryzen 3^{(AMD Ryzen 3)} 3300X达到的温度，我们运行Prime95对其进行压力测试，并使用Open Hardware Monitor对其进行监控。不幸的是，我们收到了这款没有冷却器^{(stock cooler)}的处理器。这就是为什么我们不得不使用不同的散热器：华硕 ROG Ryuo 120^{(ASUS ROG Ryuo 120)}。它比您使用Ryzen 3 3300X获得的库存Wraith Stealth更强大、更高效。^{(Wraith Stealth)}请注意，我们使用他们的备用冷却器测量了图表中其他处理器的温度，因此请查看以下结果并有所保留。

AMD Ryzen 3 3300X 处理器达到了相当高的温度，高达 93摄氏度^(Celsius)（199华氏度^(Fahrenheit)）。这是相当多的，并且使用库存的Wraith Stealth 冷却器^{(Wraith Stealth cooler)}，3300X 可能会在要求苛刻的游戏或应用程序中不时节流。

然后，我们测量了AMD Ryzen 3^{(AMD Ryzen 3)} 3300X的功耗。^{(power consumption)}我们看到的最大值是 78 瓦，考虑到它的 4.3GHz升压时钟^{(boost clock)}，这并不是很多。请注意，此值适用于要求苛刻的用例。在日常的办公室工作^{(office work)}和大多数游戏中，消耗的电量应该更低。

考虑到这款处理器的价格，AMD Ryzen 3 3300X 提供的性能非常出色。目前，我们相信这是市场上最好的预算计算机处理器，尤其是在游戏方面，而且在生产力方面。^{(The performance offered by the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X is excellent, considering how affordable this processor is. Right now, we believe this is the best budget computer processor on the market, especially for gaming, but also for productivity.)}

When it comes to computer рrocessors, 2019 and 2020 were the beѕt years in a long time. AMD has amazed us with excellent CPUs that deliver top-notch pеrformance, like the 12-core Ryzen 9 3900X, the 8-core Ryzen 7 3700X, or the 6-core Ryzen 5 3600X. These processors rockеd the market for good reason. Now, AMD has launched another batch of excitіng processors: AMD Ryzen 3 3300X and Ryzen 3 3100. These models promise excellent performance, at a price pоint that is more accessible than evеr. Seе what you get from the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, in this review:

AMD Ryzen 3 3300X: Who is it good for?

The AMD Ryzen 3 3300X is a great choice if you:

• Are interested in gaming on a budget
• Are building a PC that delivers good overall performance without breaking the bank
• Want PCIe 4 support for ultra-fast SSD drives, and other components

Pros and cons

AMD Ryzen 3 3300X shines in many ways. Here is what we like most about this processor:

• Impressive single-core performance
• The multicore performance is excellent for productivity tasks
• Overall performance is better than Intel's similarly priced processors
• The low price makes it ideal for budget-friendly gaming computers
• Its low TDP and modest power needs make it great for energy-efficient computers
• It is unlocked and overclocking is an option
• AMD bundles a Wraith Stealth cooler while Intel's similarly priced processors come without a cooler
• Support for PCI Express 4 and fast DDR4 memory

There are a few downsides as well:

• It tends to get quite hot
• The headroom left for overclocking is limited by the bundled cooler

Verdict

AMD Ryzen 3 3300X is the best budget-friendly computer processor for gaming, and productivity. It's sold at a very reasonable price, and the performance you get is fantastic. This is especially noticeable in apps that require and benefit from the single-core performance, like games. The Ryzen 3 3300X is defining a new baseline in budget performance that we recommend to anyone.

Hardware specifications

At launch, the Ryzen 3 3300X is available at a price of about $120. It is an affordable CPU that uses the Zen 2 architecture and comes with all the benefits of this architecture, including support for PCI Express 4 (PCIe 4). For a comparison between PCIe 4 and PCIe 3, read: PCI Express 4 vs PCIe 3: Is there a performance improvement?. Just like all the other processors from the Ryzen 3000 series, the 3300X is built using the 7-nanometer manufacturing process.

The AMD Ryzen 3 3300X has four cores and eight processing threads, clocked at a base frequency of 3.8 GHz. The maximum boost frequency, on a single-core, goes up to 4.3 GHz. This affordable processor has two fewer cores than the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and 3600X, but their base and turbo clocks are similar. In fact, the 3300X has both a faster base clock (by 200 MHz) and a turbo boost clock (by 100 MHz) than a Ryzen 5 3600. Compared to the Ryzen 5 3600X, the boost clock offered by the 3300X is lower by 100 MHz, although their base clocks are the same. However, the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X also has a lesser amount of Level 3 cache memory: 16 MB vs 32 MB (3600X).

These observations make us think that the Ryzen 3 3300X looks like a Ryzen 5 3600X stripped of two cores. Either way, because it's able to sustain a high single-core boost frequency, the Ryzen 3 3300X looks like an excellent choice for those who want to build gaming computers on a budget.

The default TDP of the Ryzen 3 3300X is a mere 65W, and AMD also bundles a Wraith Stealth stock cooler with it. It is not a deluxe cooler, lacking RGB lighting, but it should do its job well. Anyway, it's better than nothing, which is what you get from Intel's similarly priced processors.

The AMD Ryzen 3 3300X supports fast DDR4 RAM running at 3200 MHz in dual-channel mode, although a sweet spot for the best price per performance ratio would be getting yourself some DDR4 DIMMs running at 3600 MHz.

The AMD Ryzen 3 3300X uses the AM4 socket and supports PCI Express 4. That means that, even if it is a budget processor, it provides plenty of headroom for those who, in the future, want to be able to use new PCIe 4 graphics cards, or SSDs for instance. Furthermore, AMD is also launching the new B550 motherboard chipset as we speak, which means that we should soon see mainstream motherboards on the market, with a more affordable price than existing X570 motherboards.

B550 motherboards are going to support Ryzen processors built on the Zen 2 architecture, as well as the ones using the next Zen 3 architecture. However, for now, if you don't need PCI Express 4, you can also use the Ryzen 3 3300X on older motherboards with chipsets such as X470, X370, or B450, albeit only with PCI Express 3.

The AMD Ryzen 3 3300X looks like an excellent computer processor. Its fast base frequency and the single-core boost clock should make it capable of handling even the newest games, without it becoming a bottleneck for your graphics card. Let's see what the benchmarks tell us:

Performance in benchmarks and games

We tested the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X processor on a PC with the following hardware and software:

• Motherboard: ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (Wi-Fi)
• Memory: HyperX Predator DDR4 RGB Memory (2 x 8GB, 3200MHz)
• Graphics Card: ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1660 Ti GAMING OC
• Storage: ADATA XPG Gammix S11 Pro SSD
• Monitor: ASUS ROG Strix XG32VQ Curved Gaming Monitor (32-inch WQHD 2560 x 1440, 144Hz)
• Power Supply Unit: ASUS ROG Thor 850W Platinum
• Operating System: Windows 10 Pro x64 with November 2019 Update

To get a better idea about the performance offered by the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, we compared its benchmarks results with other AMD Ryzen processors, including the 6-core Ryzen 5 3600X, the Ryzen 5 3600, and the recently launched Ryzen 3 3100.

First, we benchmarked the Ryzen 3 3300X using CPU-Z. In the Single Thread, this processor got a score of 490 points. It's an outstanding result that shows excellent single-core performance, which is especially important in gaming. The Ryzen 3 3300X is 2.4% slower than the Ryzen 5 3600X, 4.1% faster than Ryzen 5 3600, and 6.5% faster than the Ryzen 3 3100. Furthermore, according to CPU-Z, the Ryzen 3 3300X offers the same performance you would get from an Intel Core i7-7700K CPU.

In CPU-Z's Multi-Thread test, we got a score of 2699. The Ryzen 3 3300X has only four cores, so we expected it to get a lower result than its 6-core Ryzen 5 brothers. The Ryzen 3 3300X got a score that was 26.2% lower than the Ryzen 5 3600 and 32.8% lower than that of the Ryzen 5 3600X. However, compared to the Ryzen 3 3100, the 3300X is 6.1% faster in multithreaded operations. Also, according to CPU-Z, the Ryzen 3 3300X is a bit faster (1.9%) than the Intel Core i7-7700K processor in the Multi-Thread benchmark. That's quite impressive!

Next, we moved on to the rendering benchmarks, and we started with Cinebench R20. In the multi-thread test, which uses all the processor cores, the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X managed a score of 2355 points. It's 26.9% lower than that of the Ryzen 5 3600X, and almost 33.1% lower than the Ryzen 5 3600X. That's normal, as this test uses all the processor cores and, while the 3600 and 3600X have six cores each, the 3300X has only four. On the other hand, the 3300X was 7.9% faster than the cheaper Ryzen 3 3100, which also has four cores.

In Blender Benchmark, we rendered two different scenes (bmw27 and classroom). This benchmark measures the time needed by the computer to complete the rendering of the scenes. If a processor needs less time than others, it means that it is faster. Because it has fewer cores than the other CPUs in the list, the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X needed 23.8 minutes to finish. In percentages, it was 4% slower than the Ryzen 5 3600, and 6.85% slower than the Ryzen 5 3600X. However, it was also 9.9% faster than the Ryzen 3 3100 processor.

7-Zip is an app for compressing files, and also a good way of measuring the multi-thread performance of processors. Using the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, we measured a compression speed of 29 MB/s, which is 27.5% less than what you get from a Ryzen 5 3600 or Ryzen 5 3600X. It is an excellent result considering that the 3300X has only four cores, while the other two have six cores. Compared to the Ryzen 3 3100, the 3300X was 10.35% faster.

The decompression speed in 7-Zip was 497 MB/s, less than what you get from Ryzen 5 processors, which have two cores more (30.2% slower than the 3600, and 34.6% slower than the 3600X). The 3300X is also 6.64% faster than an AMD Ryzen 3 3100 processor.

Next, we moved on to measure the performance of the processor in daily activities, using PCMark 10. This benchmark evaluates the computer's speed in areas such as web browsing, video conferencing, apps start-up times, productivity, and digital content creation. The Ryzen 3 3300X impressed us. Although it has two cores less than the Ryzen 5 3600, it got a score that is 4.45% better, probably because of its slightly higher boost clocks. Compared to the 3600X, 3300X's score was 4.52% lower, and, compared to the Ryzen 3 3100, the 3300X was 5.8% better. All in all, this shows that the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X is an excellent choice for productivity also, not just for gaming.

Next, we checked how good the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X is when surfing on the internet. To measure its performance, we used the JetStream 2 benchmark in Google Chrome. The higher score, the faster the processor. We were in for a surprise when we saw that the Ryzen 3 3300X is just as fast as the Ryzen 5 3600X. It's actually faster than all the others on our list. The most evident discrepancy is against the Ryzen 3 3100, which is 10.8% slower than the 3300X. This result is a consequence of the excellent single-core performance offered by the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X.

When it comes to computer processors, for many, gaming performance is an essential aspect. The next benchmarks that we ran are addressed to gamers. To avoid any possible bottlenecks, we configured the games to use 1080p resolutions and the lowest graphics quality settings.

In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X got a CPU Render score of 191 frames per second. It's 15.19% more than what the Ryzen 3 3100 can deliver. Although it's less than what a Ryzen 5 3600 or a 3600X can do, this result is impressive. Probably thanks to its single-core performance, you can use the 3300X to run any game, including those launched in 2020, at high-quality settings and FHD resolutions, if your graphics card doesn't bottleneck your computer's performance.

In Metro Exodus, which is one of the most demanding games we've played, both in terms of video and processor performance, AMD Ryzen 3 3300X delivered an average frame rate of 109. That is only 4.39% less than what we got from the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, and it is the same fps we measured with the AMD Ryzen 3600. Looking at Ryzen 3 3100's frame rate, the 3300X was able to render 3.77% more fps.

In World War Z, which is a game optimized for multi-threading, we measured 175 fps. That's less than what the six-core Ryzen 5 3600X and 3600 processors can do (16.27% and 10.26% fewer fps, respectively), but 11.43% more than what the more affordable Ryzen 3 3100 CPU offers. Ryzen 3 3300X manages to offer excellent performance in this game too, confirming that it is a great buy for any budget gaming computer.

To test the temperatures reached by the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, we ran Prime95 to stress it, and we monitored it with Open Hardware Monitor. Unfortunately we received this processor without its stock cooler. That's why we had to use a different cooler: an ASUS ROG Ryuo 120. It is a more powerful and efficient cooler than the stock Wraith Stealth that you get with the Ryzen 3 3300X. Note that we measured the temperatures of the other processors in the chart using their stock coolers, so look at the following results with some reservations.

The AMD Ryzen 3 3300X processor reached some rather high temperatures, getting as hot as 93 degrees Celsius (199 degrees Fahrenheit). It's quite a lot and, with the stock Wraith Stealth cooler, the 3300X is probably going to throttle from time to time, in demanding games or apps.

Then, we measured the power consumption of the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X. The maximum we've seen was of 78 watts, which is not a lot considering its 4.3GHz boost clock.
