AMD also reigns supreme in low-end processors
Today was mainly marked by recently announced news from AMD. The company officially she started sale (so the embargo on the first reviews has expired) of its new cheap processors for classic desktop computers. Models Ryze 3 3100 a 3300 times reaps a huge harvest praise in reviews and can be expected to be one of the in the coming months the most popular processors (for ordinary users) at all. AMD with this step practically concludes yours third generation So ZEN processors and hardware enthusiasts can eagerly await what the company will bring na end year, when sales of the first processors should begin 4st generation of ZEN architecture. Regarding the aforementioned, there are many reviews on the web (for example Anandtech, or countless videos from popular tech-YouTubers, see below). They especially praise great price/performance ratio, which not only beats current Intel chips, but also disrupts the used processor market to a large extent, as some of Intel's more popular models have held their price very well. That is now the end and the pair of new products with the budget market is probably powerful he waves.
AMD introduced (professional) processors for notebooks
With AMD already being talked about in a big way today, the company decided to take advantage of it and announced a new “professional" row mobile processors. These are chips that are more or less based on the 4th generation mainstream consumer mobile chips that the company introduced 2 weeks back. Their Pro however, the variants differ in several respects, especially in the number of active cores, the size of the cache and additionally offers some "professional” functions and instruction sets that are available in common “consumer” CPUs they are not. This involves a more thorough process certification and hardware support. These chips are intended for massive deployment in enterprise, business and other similar sectors where bulk purchases are made and devices require a different level of support than traditional PCs/laptops. The processors also include improved security or diagnostic functions such as AMD Memory Guard.

As for the processors themselves, AMD currently offers three models – Ryzen 3 Pro 4450U with 4/8 cores, 2,5/3,7 GHz frequency, 4 MB L3 cache and iGPU Vega 5. The middle variant is Ryzen 5 Pro 4650U with 6/12 cores, 2,1/4,0 GHz frequency, 8 MB L3 cache and iGPU Vega 6. The top model is then Ryzen 7 Pro 4750U with 8/16 cores, 1,7/4,1 GHz frequency, identical 8 MB L3 cache and iGPU Vega 7. In all cases, it is economical 15 W chips.
According to AMD, these news are up to o 30% more powerful in monofilament and up to o 132% more powerful in multi-threaded tasks. Graphics performance has increased by a fraction between generations 13%. Given the performance of AMD's new mobile chips, it would be great if they appeared in MacBooks. But it is rather just wishful thinking, if not a real matter. This is of course a huge shame, as Intel is currently playing second fiddle.
