AMD has largely ceded the performance processor space to Intel in recent years. You typically get inside a budget PC, not an all-out gaming rig. At last, though, you might have reason to get excited: AMD is Ryzen 7, a desktop CPU line based on its much-ballyhooed . The key is a dramatic improvement in the number of instructions the chip can handle at once. A Ryzen 7 CPU can do 52 percent more work every cycle than a similarly-clocked predecessor thanks to a newer 14-nanometer manufacturing process, five times the bandwidth and some overdue architectural upgrades. This is AMD's first processor with simultaneous multithreading (Hyper-Threading in Intel speak), so each core can execute two code paths at the same time.
