— AMD Ryzen 9 processors, based on the Zen microarchitecture, debuted in 2019. The series became the top tier among all Ryzen CPUs, surpassing the Ryzen 7 in this position. Primarily, CPUs in this lineup are used for professional tasks (such as design, video editing, and 3D rendering), gaming, streaming, and other high-load applications. The first Ryzen 9 models featured 12 cores and 24 threads, and in later models, this number was increased to 16 cores and 32 threads.
