New AMD Ryzen 3 1200 AF $75 CPU Review & Benchmarks: Overclocking, Gamin...

 benchmarking and reviewing the AMD Ryzen 3 1200 AF CPU, which is another of AMD's silent updates to the original Zen CPUs. Technically, this is more than just a refresh: It's a shift to an entirely different process, over to the 12nm Zen+ design from the 14nm original silicon. This change alone carries with it some architectural changes, but also implies higher overclocking capability than original Ryzen CPUs. It's similar in some ways to an R3 2300X, but with different frequencies; in that way, the R3 1200 AF is less straight-forward than the 1600 AF that the PC building community scrambled to get.
