— the first series of processors from AMD, built on the Zen microarchitecture, entered the market in March 2017. In general, Ryzen chips (all series) are promoted as high-end solutions for gamers, developers, graphic designers and video editors. One of the main differences between Zen and previous microarchitectures was the use of simultaneous multithreading, due to which the number of operations per clock was significantly increased at the same clock frequency. In addition, each core received its own floating point unit and increased the speed of the first level cache.
