Four real cores loaded with computational power, this is what AMD Ryzen 3 processors have to offer. The entry level models from AMD's Ryzen series offer 4 cores each, 8 MB L3 Cache as well as 2 MB L2 Cache and a TDP of 65 Watts. The Ryzen 3 processors are also, thanks to XFR (Extended Frequency Range) capable of automatic overclocking and, thanks to the unlocked multiplier, are easy to overclock by hand. The boxed versions are delivered with a whisper-quiet AMD Wraith Spire CPU cooler.
The AMD Ryzen 3 processors from the "Summit Ridge" generation offer four physical CPU cores. The quad-core mid-range models function at a high clock frequency which, with the help of Precision Boost, are able to adjust their speeds in real-time in accordance with their respective loads - regardless of whether in games or applications - as well as increasing clock speeds on-the-fly while remaining within the TDP. Intelligently controlled cache buffers and "Smart Prefetch" algorithms enable highly-efficient jump predictions for smooth and uninterrupted data access. 
The chip architecture of AMD Ryzen 3 processors operates at lower temperatures and produces less noise than any of its predecessors and is especially suited and optimised for impressive overclocks. The AMD Ryzen 3 series of CPUs also come with the revolutionary automatic overclocking feature known as Extended Frequency Range (XFR) which allows the processor's frequency to increase far beyond the limits set by the manufacturer in regards to the maximum boost clock, as long as sufficient cooling is provided. As soon as the integrated CPU sensors detect additional cooling reserves, Ryzen 3 CPUs will independently adjust their clock frequencies in accordance with their respective cooling. The user does not need to perform this directly. Depending on whether the processor is being cooled by a relatively small boxed cooler, a large (dual-)tower cooler, a powerful AiO or custom water-cooling setup, even with extreme LN2 coolant, the CPU will overclock itself to meet the temperatures and cooling performance afforded to it. 
The AMD Ryzen Master Utility for Overclocking Control, or Ryzen Master (external download link), is a practical tool which allows all AMD Ryzen CPUs, thanks to their unlocked multipliers, to be overclocked quickly and easily. While overclocking is normally performed via BIOS/UEFI, Ryzen Master allows you to do this in the operating system itself. The clock frequency of a processor is decided by the Baseclock (BCLK), which is multiplied by a known factor. A standard BCLK of 100 MHz and a multiplier of 40 will lead to a 4,0 GHz boost clock, for example, on a Ryzen 7 1800X.
