Model overview based on user reviews  
The AMD Ryzen 3 Summit Ridge is a budget-friendly processor that offers solid performance for its price. It features four physical cores and supports overclocking, making it a competitive choice against similar models like the i3-8100. Users appreciate its ability to overclock up to 4.2GHz, providing enhanced performance for gaming and other tasks. However, it lacks integrated graphics, requiring a discrete GPU for optimal use. Some users noted potential issues with driver compatibility for integrated graphics, but overall, it is considered a good option for budget builds. The processor maintains a low temperature, although some report it can reach up to 65°C under load. Despite minor drawbacks, such as the lack of SMT virtual threads and integrated graphics, the Ryzen 3 Summit Ridge is praised for its affordability and capability, especially when paired with a suitable motherboard for overclocking.

There are no analogues for your money

In short, I decided to put together an assembly for 40k and besides this prototype I couldn’t find anything better. For gaming, I recommend immediately overclocking it to at least 3.9 (Preferably), as well as selecting memory standards and also raising it to 3000 or 3200
Price Low temperature (suitable with any cooler for 500 rubles) You can safely overclock up to 4.3 (on a decent motherboard)
In stock it hits 100
use AMD 1200 OEM 14 nm few months
This is probably like the i3-8100, only cheaper and overclockable.

Great processor for its price!!
Overclocked to 4.2GHz with a voltage of 1.4000V (:

I have an old small monitor, 1600x900, it runs games like CS and Dota easily. Compared the graphics of the CPU with the i3 8100, and Intel lost. It's worth getting this CPU for a few months, but then it's advisable to buy a GPU. With Intel, that won't work, you better get a GPU right away as integrated graphics will at most run games like "My World". A good option for a budget build.
Decent integrated graphics
doesn't heat up much
not very expensive
can be overclocked
There might be a hassle with the drivers, it doesn't want to find the integrated graphics.

Flying below the radar

You know, if you open at least one top low-cost processor, you are unlikely to find a Ryzen 3 1200 there. And this is not surprising, because two very successful generations of processors from AMD have already come out since then, and an even more advanced Zen 3 architecture looms on the horizon. We have some compelling arguments to prove that the Ryzen 3 1200 is still good. At least on a low-cost build.

Nearly half the price of the Ryzen 3 2200G

Let's start with the price-performance ratio. Yes, the Ryzen 3 1200 is far from the most powerful chip we've seen. But it's too early to write it down, in most benchmarks it lags behind the newer Ryzen 3 2200G by 10 – 15%. In some benchmarks like Cinebench and Winrar tests, the gap reaches 30%. In games, the difference is hardly noticeable at all, since the graphics card makes almost all the difference. At the same time, the Ryzen 3 2200G will cost you almost twice as much. The second nuance is the socket. If you're broke, but you need to build a computer bloody from the nose, such a chip will successfully cope with the role of a fairly performant temporary plug. Take not the cheapest motherboard decently on the B450 chip, then in the future you can easily plug in some 12-thread Ryzen 3600 into it and life will sparkle with new colours.

14nm vs 12nm process technology

If you decide to take just such a processor, then we strongly recommend that you look for the 12-nm version with the AF index on the market, which is based on a newer crystal, costs literally three kopecks more than the usual Ryzen 3 1200, and is almost one-to-one in terms of power like Ryzen 3 2200G. Plus, the 12nm version overclocks perfectly, on a standard cooler you can get stable 3.9 – 4 GHz on all four cores. The regular Ryzen 3 1200 isn't as sharp, but the unlocked multiplier lets you tweak the frequencies a bit.
