An 8-core beast

More threads for more power

High clock speed alone doesn’t guarantee high-end performance. It seems AMD has been taking notes, because the Ryzen line is equipped with tried and tested MultiThreading technology, a first for AMD processors. Ryzen’s multithreading can process up to sixteen threads simultaneously, which means all processor tasks can now be performed much more quickly. The benefits this technology brings are absolutely indisputable. When you also consider the processor’s open multiplier and 14nm manufacturing process, you surely have a truly uncompromising solution for processing.

Maybe you want to experience the latest features, such as USB 3.1 (USB-C), PCIe 3.0, NVMe, 32Gb/s slots M.2 or SATA Express? All of this can be found on the AM4 socket motherboards. The ideal platform for this new processor is Microsoft Windows 10, but there is also unofficial Windows 7 support.
