Intel and Ryzen

**Intel**

Intel Corporation or better known as Intel, is an American multinational corporation and a technology company based in Silicon Valley, in Santa Clara, California. Intel is now the world's second largest and most valuable semiconductor chipmaker, having recently been surpassed by Samsung. She is also the inventor of the x86 series of microprocessors, which are found in all PCs. It also manufactures motherboard chipsets, network interface controllers and integrated circuits, flash memories, graphics chips, embedded processors, and other communications and computing-related devices.

Among Intel's microprocessors, multicore technologies implemented in Pentium D and Core 2 Duo processors, Centrino mobile technology developed for the notebook market, and HyperThreading technology integrated in Intel Pentium 4 processors and Intel Core i7 processors stand out. This processor replaced the Core 2 Duo processors. Barely being surpassed in power by the Xeon line, and the Xeon phi which have the capacity to reach 72 cores, running at 1.5 GHz. Despite everything, these are the ones that have given Intel its great fame , and what has made their sales take off.

During the 1990s, Intel was responsible for many of the personal computer hardware innovations, including USB, PCI, AGP, and PCI-Express buses. Closer examples are the use of RDRAM in RIMM modules and Slot 1 in Intel Pentium II/Intel Pentium III, measures taken to strengthen market dominance through a patent, and which ended up turning against them by forcing its competitors to innovate and lower costs, AMD managing to bring to fruition the first 64-bit x86-64 processor that also maintained x86 compatibility (while Intel had been stranded on Intel Itanium for years).

Intel's main competitor in the market is Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), a company with which Intel had technology sharing agreements: each partner could use the other party's proprietary technological innovations at no cost and with which it has been seen involved in crossed lawsuits. The other historic competitor in the x86 market, Cyrix, has ended up integrated into VIA Technologies, which maintains the VIA C3 in the low-power equipment market. By contrast, the rise of computers with ARM core processors that threaten to devour the mobile part of the PC market is becoming a more serious rival.

In this context, at the beginning of 2022 Intel has announced the 12th generation of its processors at CES 2022.

**Ryzen**

Ryzen is a line of x86-64 microprocessors designed and marketed by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) for desktop, mobile, and embedded system platforms based on the Zen microarchitecture. It consists of processors marketed for segments such as enthusiast and general workstations and accelerated processing units for basic segments, general and embedded systems. Ryzen is especially important to AMD as it is an entirely new design and marks the company's return to the high-end desktop processor market.

AMD officially announced a new series of microprocessors, called "Ryzen", during its "New Horizon" event in December 2016 and introduced the Ryzen 1000 series of microprocessors in February 2017, featuring up to 8 cores and 16 threads, which were officially released on March 2, 2017.5 The second generation of Ryzen microprocessors, the Ryzen 2000, featuring the Zen+ microarchitecture, an incremental improvement based on a 12 nm lithographic process technology, were released in April 2018 and featured increased performance. Marginal performance over Ryzen 10006 microprocessors which were first released in 2017.7 Third generation Ryzen microprocessors released on July 7, 2019, based on the Zen 2 microarchitecture feature more significant design improvements and further reduction of the lithographic process at 7 nm from the company TSMC. On June 16, 2020, AMD announced new Ryzen 3000 XT series processors with 4% higher turbo frequency compared to non-XT8 processors. This closes the 5% average gaming performance gap between Intel and AMD. , indicating that Intel microprocessors are only 1% faster on average in games just before the Zen 3 microarchitecture arrives, according to enthusiasts on reddit and other online forums. At the end of 2019, it had been revealed that the core of Zen 3 is an entirely new microarchitecture, rumored to be built on TSMC's 7nm+ EUV nodes (although all that has been officially confirmed at this point is the use of a "7 nm enhanced" process).

On October 8, 2020, the Ryzen 5000 came out, a new series that brought the 7nm process, Zen 3 AND the 500 series of motherboards. The Ryzen 5000s brought substantial performance improvements and were finally no longer bottlenecking the GPUs. The vast majority of Streamers, Content Creators, and Subject Experts used the Ryzen: 9 5950X, Ryzen 9 5900X, Ryzen 7 5800X3D, Ryzen 7 5800X, and the Ryzen 5 5600G or X. The Ryzen 9 5950X are dedicated top-of-the-range processors for Editing, Rendering and Streaming. The Ryzen 9 5900X are dedicated High-End Processors for Editing, Rendering, Gaming and Streaming. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D are processors with 3D and extended cache dedicated especially for Gamers and Professional Streamers. The Ryzen 7 5800X They are dedicated processors for Gamers and Streamers. The Ryzen 5 5600G are APUs for Gamers who cannot afford a dedicated GPU. The Ryzen 5 5600X are dedicated processors for Gamers. AMD in this generation no longer decided to continue with the XT line for unknown reasons. This was the last to use AM4 as the next generation went to Socket AM5, which goes from PGA 1331 to LGA 1718, 18 pins more than the Intel competition Socket but with a different shape. The maximum frequency at which its top of the range reached, that is, the Ryzen 5950X without overclocking, was 4.7 Ghz, that is, almost 5Ghz.
