Background on AMD Ryzen 7000 Series CPUs
AMD's Ryzen family of desktop processors has been a solid mainstream workstation CPU line for several years now. The Ryzen 7000 Series continues to improve upon AMD's processor design with the new "Zen 4" architecture built on a 5nm manufacturing process. Alongside these chiplet-level enhancements, AMD has also pushed the clock speed envelope - with maximum turbo speeds well above 5GHz - and added support for DDR5 memory, AVX-512, and PCI Express 5.0. Together, these performance improvements and feature additions provide a great foundation for workstation PCs.
