History of AMD Ryzen 

Ryzen uses the "Zen" processor microarchitecture, a complete redesign of AMD, from the ground up to bring AMD back to high-end processors after a decade of near non-existence, starting in 2006. In fact, Ryzen The main competitors' AMD and Intel have dominated this market segment since the release in 2006 of their Core microarchitecture (starting with "Core 2-Duo"). Similarly, Intel discontinued the Pentium 4 because its Netburst microarchitecture did not compete with AMD's Athlon XP in terms of price and performance, and with the Athlon 64 and 64 X2 they were better at all levels. Even previous Pentium 3 upgrades continue to support Intel's design to this day.

Until the launch of Ryzen in 2017, Intel's market power dominated by AMD will continue to increase due to the simultaneous introduction of the "Intel Core" brand on the ground, which is the beginning of good luck. \"Ticking\" Release Plan. This new release plan is famous for switching between new CPU microarchitectures and the number of new ones produced every year, which will be the last time their releases can be supported for almost a full decade. (exactly from the Q1 3 2006 launch of Intel Core and. 65nm Conroe, to 14nm BroadwellDesktop processors, has been delayed a year between their planned launch in 2014 and Q3 2015. This will require a refresh of Haswell with a 22nm line of processors in the form of "Devil's Canyon" and thus stop the operation of "dry-tock").

And that's one reason why it's so critical for AMD, because Intel's inability to maintain its previous "dry-tock" around 2014 will be critical, if not critical, to ensure a successful launch and opening of the market. . development for their Ryzen processors and the Zen CPU microarchitecture is generally going well. Another thing worth noting is the release of AMD's Bulldozer microarchitecture in 2011, which, despite being a pure Zen architecture, was designed and optimized for computing on top of everything else ( leading to poor performance under heavy loads). ). each task has fewer threads), and thus end up being uncompetitive in any area beyond raw multi-threaded performance and their use in low-end APUs and integrated Radeon graphics. Despite reductions and several revisions to the Bulldozer architecture, performance and power efficiency did not meet competing Intel products. Collectively, all of this forced AMD to abandon the entire high-end CPU market (including desktops, laptops, and servers/offices). ) until the release of Ryzen in 2017. Ryzen is a consumer implementation of the new Zen microarchitecture, a complete overhaul that marks AMD's return to the high-end processor market, delivering a product package that can compete with Intel at every level. Having more processing cores, Ryzen CPUs offer better multi-threaded performance at the same price when compared to Intel Core CPUs. The Zen architecture provides over 52% increase in instructions per cycle (clock) over the previous generation AMD Bulldozer core, without increasing power consumption. The change in the instruction manual also makes the binary compatible with Intel Broadwell, making the transition easier for users. Threadripper, intended for high-end desktop computers (HEDT), has not been developed under a business plan or road map, a small group of enthusiasts within AMD has seen an opportunity to create something in between Ryzen and Epyc processors that will add performance to it. AMD. After making some progress during their free time, the project was given the green light and put on the road map in 2016. Since the release of Ryzen, AMD's CPU market share has increased while Intel seems to be stagnating and/or declining.
