Ryzen is the consumer-level implementation of the newer Zen microarchitecture, a complete re-design that marked the return of AMD to the high-end CPU market, offering a product stack able to compete with Intel at every level.[14][15] Having more processing cores, Ryzen processors offer greater multi-threaded performance at the same price point relative to Intel's Core processors.[16] The Zen architecture delivers more than 52% improvement in instructions-per-clock cycle over the previous-generation Bulldozer AMD core, without increasing power consumption.[17]
