The AMD Ryzen 3 3300X and 3100 CPU Review: A Budget Gaming Bonanza
by Dr. Ian Cutress on May 7, 2020 9:00 AM EST*We are currently in the middle of revisiting our CPU gaming benchmarks, but the new suite was not ready in time for this review. We plan to add in some new games (Borderland 3, Gears Tactics) and also upgrade our gaming GPU to an RTX 2080 Ti.
Gaming: World of Tanks enCore
Albeit different to most of the other commonly played MMO or massively multiplayer online games, World of Tanks is set in the mid-20th century and allows players to take control of a range of military based armored vehicles. World of Tanks (WoT) is developed and published by Wargaming who are based in Belarus, with the game’s soundtrack being primarily composed by Belarusian composer Sergey Khmelevsky. The game offers multiple entry points including a free-to-play element as well as allowing players to pay a fee to open up more features. One of the most interesting things about this tank based MMO is that it achieved eSports status when it debuted at the World Cyber Games back in 2012.
World of Tanks enCore is a demo application for a new and unreleased graphics engine penned by the Wargaming development team. Over time the new core engine will implemented into the full game upgrading the games visuals with key elements such as improved water, flora, shadows, lighting as well as other objects such as buildings. The World of Tanks enCore demo app not only offers up insight into the impending game engine changes, but allows users to check system performance to see if the new engine run optimally on their system.
All of our benchmark results can also be found in our benchmark engine, Bench.

well maxipadking, if this site pisses you off so much, and all you do is whine about how bad the reviews are, and how they test low end garbage cpus, why do you even bother coming here ? it is just to be a biased intel shill ?? go back the site that praises your god intel.Deicidium369 - Friday, May 8, 2020 - link
Look it's the resident, no life AMD shill in his natural habitat - offering absolutely nothing to conversation and just sniping.. he will also follow you to other forums - he's a creepy little guyKorguz - Friday, May 8, 2020 - link
your funny man, go look in the mirror, and work on getting your OWN personal facts straight.Spunjji - Monday, May 11, 2020 - link
I am enjoying how "I got caught shitposting in multiple forums" went through Deicidium's flamebot troll filter and came out as "watch out, this guy will stalk you".dwade123 - Thursday, May 7, 2020 - link
It’s crazy how Skylake is still the fastest for gaming. Beats having to spend and spend on endless minor upgrades with AMD... and still be slower in gaming ROFL.Makaveli - Thursday, May 7, 2020 - link
And maybe that matters to man children who never leave the basement. For the rest of the adults, price/performance matters more than a few extra fps. And even more so now with alot of people being layed off due to the pandemic and trying to save money.stardude82 - Thursday, May 7, 2020 - link
Heck, for most people a 10 year old Lynn field is good enough.rUmX - Saturday, May 9, 2020 - link
I just recently rebuilt a i5 760 for a friend, and you're absolutely right. It is still a pretty quick cpu for most users for basic tasks. However its super slow compared to even Zen 1. Part of that is the low clocks, and lacking boost. My Ryzen 1600 non-AF runs circles around it even single threaded.Spunjji - Monday, May 11, 2020 - link
When the best reach you can manage is "My favourite company's abject failure to improve performance is a plus, actually."ExarKun333 - Thursday, May 7, 2020 - link
This is AMD 90nm all over again.
