Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) is an American multinational corporation and technology company headquartered in Santa Clara, California and maintains significant operations in Austin, Texas. AMD is a hardware and fabless company that designs and develops central processing units (CPUs), graphics processing units (GPUs), field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), system-on-chip (SoC), and high-performance compute solutions. AMD serves a wide range of business and consumer markets, including gaming, data centers, artificial intelligence (AI), and embedded systems.

AMD's main products include microprocessors, motherboard chipsets, embedded processors, and graphics processors for servers, workstations, personal computers, and embedded system applications. The company has also expanded into new markets, such as the data center, gaming, and high-performance computing markets. AMD's processors are used in a wide range of computing devices, including personal computers, servers, laptops, and gaming consoles. While it initially manufactured its own processors, the company later outsourced its manufacturing, after GlobalFoundries was spun off in 2009. Through its Xilinx acquisition in 2022, AMD offers field-programmable gate array (FPGA) products.

AMD was founded in 1969 by Jerry Sanders and a group of other technology professionals. The company's early products were primarily memory chips and other components for computers. In 1975, AMD entered the microprocessor market, competing with Intel, its main rival in the industry. In the early 2000s, it experienced significant growth and success, thanks in part to its strong position in the PC market and the success of its Athlon and Opteron processors. However, the company faced challenges in the late 2000s and early 2010s, as it struggled to keep up with Intel in the race to produce faster and more powerful processors.

In the late 2010s, AMD regained market share by pursuing a penetration pricing strategy and building on the success of its Ryzen processors, which were considerably more competitive with Intel microprocessors in terms of performance while offering attractive pricing.

A desktop traditionally refers to:

  • The surface of a desk (often to distinguish office appliances that fit on a desk, such as photocopiers and printers, from larger equipment covering its own area on the floor)

Desktop may refer to various computer terms:

  • Desktop computer, a personal computer designed to fit on a desk
  • Desktop metaphor, a style of graphical user interface modeled after a physical work surface
    • Desktop environment, software that provides a comprehensive computer user interface
    • .desktop file, providing configuration details for a program in a desktop environment
    • Remote desktop software, software that provides remote access to a computer's desktop
  • Client (computing), sometimes referred to as a desktop to distinguish the client from a server
  • Desktop (word processor), a program for the ZX Spectrum

Ryzen (, RY-zən) is a brand of multi-core x86-64 microprocessors designed and marketed by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) for desktop, mobile, server, and embedded platforms based on the Zen microarchitecture. It consists of central processing units (CPUs) marketed for mainstream, enthusiast, server, and workstation segments and accelerated processing units (APUs) marketed for mainstream and entry-level segments and embedded systems applications.

A majority of AMD's consumer Ryzen products use the AM4 platform. In August 2017, AMD launched their Ryzen Threadripper line aimed at the enthusiast and workstation markets. Ryzen Threadripper uses different, larger sockets such as TR4, sTRX4, sWRX8, and sTR5 which support additional memory channels and PCI Express lanes. AMD has moved to the new AM5 platform for consumer desktop Ryzen with the release of Zen 4 products in late 2022.

    Excellent processor. A bit overkill for most consumer needs though!

    This processor is an amazing value for the money. If you do video or photo editing, get this one. If you are just a gamer, go with the cheaper 5900x. But if you need the cores, this processor rocks all of intels offerings at the price point.

    For those wondering whether this is the 5900X or the 5950X, this is indeed the 5900X. I believe Walmart may have jumbled up the pricing across their Ryzen 5000 series listings. It’d be great if they revise them to the accurate pricing as the supply is so scarce right now. The processor itself is incredible and leaves nothing to be desired. Truly no-compromises for both productivity and gaming, and the power efficiency is a great improvement over previous generations as well.
