AMD
AMD processors, or Advanced Micro Devices microprocessors, are competitors to Intel processors in the computer market, offering alternatives for consumers and businesses. AMD has emerged as a major player, with processor series such as Ryzen, Athlon and Ryzen Threadripper covering a wide range of application needs. Today's AMD processors are based on the Zen architecture, which has brought improvements in performance, energy efficiency and multi-core support. Many AMD processors are multi-core, which allows for simultaneous execution of multiple tasks. The integrated Radeon graphics core in most models provides reasonable graphics performance without the need for a separate graphics card. AMD processors are designed to be competitive in terms of thermal power density (TDP), which is relevant when designing cooling solutions. AMD and Intel are in constant competition in the CPU market, and AMD's success in offering competitive alternatives has brought diversity and innovation to the industry. AMD processors have gained popularity in particular due to their price-performance ratio and offer an alternative to many who are looking for versatile and competitive CPUs for different computing needs.
