What kind of processor development has been done for professionals? 

This is not something that has happened quickly. It is a four-year investment that AMD has made where we want to redesign CPU from the ground up. That takes so many different paths, but we looked particularly at the ‘Zen’ architecture that’s really the combination of two million plus engineering hours and four years of work. We got a lot of talented design engineers from around the industry to help us with this and, combining all that, delivered revolutionary performance stats, probably the best part we have had in the last decade. We have introduced new technology we haven’t had previously. One of those is SMT (simultaneous multithreading) and we are offering more cores, more threads and ultimately more performance. What end users care about is getting more productivity, better multitasking, and being more efficient during a work day. There’s a large part of the market where we have mainstream/power users that are bottlenecked today. They need more performance and that’s exactly what we have done. We are taking away these bottlenecks by offering new architecture and threading capability, on top of many other features. This is what we provide with Ryzen PRO.
