AMD Ryzen 3 3100 Processor (4C/8T, 18 MB Cache, 3.9 GHz Max Boost)

Product Information

At this point, I'd grab it for either small stream indicator fishing, or for dries (or maybe even stripping a small bugger or leech or beadhead nymph) on alpine lakes. Building upon proprietary construction techniques developed for Konnetic Technology, KonneticHD gives us an elevated platform to achieve new levels in rod design. I get the feeling there may be one "pet" line out there that would make the rod sing, but I just never got around to finding it.

The first graph shows the relative performance of the CPU compared to the 10 other common (single) CPUs in terms of PassMark CPU Mark. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. This means that the extremely lightweight blank and minimal componentry aren’t the only contribution to the featherweight feel in hand, but a down-locking aluminum reel seat pulls the balance point even closer to the angler allowing for less fatigue while keeping the rod tip high. I'm a lifetime New Yorker, a graduate of New York University's journalism program, and a member of Phi Beta Kappa. Rather, it's got a crisper tip, and more of a mid/shoulder sort of action, which I'd say the action/taper is closer to the rest of the Pulse lineup (albeit obviously longer and lighter, and a little bit more and slower flex because of it).Among its many features it includes Cool n Quiet, CoolCore Technology, Extended Frequency Range (XFX), Pure Power and Precision Boost are enabled. Note that it doesn't use the ray tracing features of Nvidia's RTX-class GPUs; this is purely CPU grunt at play here.

Otherwise, if you can spare just a bit of extra geld on your budget build, we highly recommend sticking with the Editors' Choice Ryzen 3 3300X instead. As of January 7, 2019, the AMD’s latest 2nd Generation Ryzen processors and Intel’s latest 9th Generation Intel Core processors use the PCIe Gen3 interface (https://ark. It works with heads with built-in Quickfix flanges, the Vinten 3101-3 bolt-on flange, 3330-16 100mm half-ball adapter, and the 3330-17 150mm half-ball adapter.

That's part just cuz I'm not a big Euro guy, and part cuz it never really struck me as a "Euro" rod either, in the sense it's not really a super light feathery tip that's not good for much besides Euro. In both gaming and content creation, AMD believes it has the upper hand in certain games and applications, but will this ring true once we throw the chip in our testbed and start putting it through its paces?

This is representative of the isolated legacy software we all keep around for one reason or another, in this case not optimized for modern many-core CPUs. An Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti handled video output during the CPU tests, clocked to Founders Edition specs. To read the full explanation of what this launch means for budget creators and gamers alike, head on over to our Ryzen 3 3300X review to find out more. While we wouldn't expressly recommend the Ryzen 3 3100 as an ideal content-creation engine, it still shows that it knows how to handle itself, with its placing here between the Intel Core i3-9100 and the six-core/12-thread Ryzen 5 3600. In my free time, you’ll find me shredding the slopes on my snowboard in the Rocky Mountains where I live, or using my culinary-degree skills to whip up a dish in the kitchen for friends.

We test CPUs using a variety of synthetic benchmarks that offer proprietary scores, as well as real-world tests using consumer apps like 7-Zip and 3D games like Far Cry 5. The POV-Ray benchmark is a synthetic, highly threaded rendering test that offers a second opinion on the Cinebench results.

Combined with a powerful lower end, the ESN is able to effectively lift fish out of deep lies and heavy water without sacrificing tippet protection.

While the Ryzen 3 3100 does offer improvements in performance and speed gains off the AMD Ryzen 3200G, it trails the previous-gen Intel Core i3-9100. If you're looking for a more moderate-flex rod that'll live primarily as a float tube rig plus light indicator fishing too, while still being an effective tight line tool, it may be the ticket. For our test setup, we installed the AMD Ryzen 3 3100 into an MSI MEG Godlike X570 AM4 motherboard, and populated two of the DIMM slots with 16GB of memory set at 3,000MHz.
