AMD announced a new variant of Ryzen processor. Comes with the name Ryzen PRO, the line of processors will target the use in the enterprise class.
Unlike the usual consumer-grade Ryzen, this processor is claimed to have a faster performance and has been equipped with various special features ranging from security systems and better efficiency.
"Offering a significant leap in performance, multi-threaded performance leadership, and the first 16-thread 8-core CPU for commercial grade PCs, Ryzen PRO provides a choice of technology portfolios that meet today's growing business needs and the future," Senior Vice President and General Manager, Computing and Graphics Group, AMD, Jim Anderson.
Similar to the consumer version, the Ryzen PRO processor range also comes in three variants namely Ryzen PRO 7, 5, and 3. Each variant has two types of processors. AMD claims Ryzen PRO comes with improved computing performance up to 52 percent better, and has a multithreading performance up to 62 percent better than rival processors in the market.
Targeted for enterprise and public sector implementation, Ryzen PRO processors come with better security solutions. The range of processors is said to have come with cryptographic technology and hardware-based security to help protect against the ever-increasing number of threats. Security standards such as secure boot, fTPM (firmware Trust Platform Module), AES, and Windows 10 Enterprise security features have also been supported by this processor family.
AMD also ensures the usage life of this processor is longer than the consumer version of Ryzen. In addition, the processor also supports industry standards such as standard-dash management DASH for CPU-agnostic (multi-platform) administration.
The Ryzen PRO-based PC is said to be available in the second half of this year. While the processor will be available in the first half of 2018.
