Setting the Bar for High Performance AMD’s high-performance x86 Core “Zen 2” architecture enables 3rd Gen Ryzen Processors like the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X deliver the high single-thread and multi-thread performance for mainstream desktop processors. For gamers and creators alike, that’s mission-critical performance built to help you win. Compute Efficiency by Design The “Zen 2” core is a significant update to the historic “Zen” architecture. Now featuring: Up to 15% more instructions-per-cycle2. 2X L3 cache capacity (up to 32MB). 2X floating point throughput (256-bit). 2X OpCache capacity (4K). 2X Infinity Fabric bandwidth (512-bit). New TAGE branch predictor. Performance and Efficiency for Next-Gen Applications Cloud computing, enterprise productivity, immersive visual experiences, gaming and streaming all demand increasing computing performance with optimal energy efficiency. From the very beginning, AMD engineers designed the new “Zen 2” core to meet those demands with more core throughput, larger caches, and powerful multi-threading capabilities. “Zen 2” Microarchitecture Details "Zen 2” cores are designed to efficiently use available microarchitectural resources for optimal compute performance. Compared to our previous architecture, 2X floating point capabilities and up to 15% higher instructions per cycle enable new performance thresholds. Powered by the AM4 Platform The AMD AM4 Platform puts effortless compatibility front and center. Our 1331-pin socket supports many generations of AMD Ryzen Desktop Processors, and features support for the latest enthusiast technologies: PCIe 4.0, NVMe, SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps, RAID, and more.
