Sunnyvale’s firm has confirmed the launch of its new Ryzen 3000 Pro processors , a new generation of high-performance professional CPUs that has all the security-level improvements that characterize the AMD Pro series and also represent a important progress both at the technological and performance levels.

Ryzen 3000 Pro processors are manufactured in a 7 nm process and use the Zen 2 architecture, which means that they offer an improvement at the IPC level so great that they can compete seamlessly with the Intel Core 9000 series.

The idea of ​​the importance of this is enough to remember that until just over two years ago AMD had nothing to do with the chip giant, and thanks to Zen 2 it has managed to catch up.

If we talk about efficiency, the jump to the 7 nm process has allowed AMD to offer excellent values ​​with the new Ryzen 3000 Pro.

All the models announced by the Sunnyvale company have a very contained TDP. Even the top of the range, the Ryzen 9 Pro 3900, which has 12 cores and 24 wires, has a TDP of 65 watts.

This generation of processors maintains the bases we have seen in the Ryzen 3000 series for consumption, which means that they combine two chiplets with a third encapsulation where a chip containing the I / O elements and the memory controller is located.

The chiplets house eight cores each and the cache memories, and are manufactured in a 7 nm process, while the I / O chip is manufactured in a 12 nm process.

Each processor comes with a certain amount of active cores and cache, but it has the same basis in terms of IPC and advanced security features.

AMD has integrated a security coprocessor all Ryzen 3000 Pro which is responsible for implementing the technology technology GuardMI , consisting of four large keys:

• AMD Memory Guard : encrypts RAM memory independently to prevent attacks that take advantage of “cold” boot.
• AMD Secure Boot: allows a secure boot, verifying that the BIOS is validated.
• Trusted applications : The security coprocessor that AMD uses allows you to create a trusted execution environment, a dedicated security subsystem that can be used by OEMS to create secure and trusted applications.
• Verification of the firmware : this achieves more effective protection of the equipment, limiting the installation of firmware to verified versions.

AMD has launched a total of three Ryzen 3000 Pro desktop processors that succeed the second generation models that we present at the time in this article .

• Ryzen 9 Pro 3900 , equipped with 12 cores and 24 threads at 3.1 GHz-4.3 GHz, normal and turbo mode, with 70 MB cache and a 65-watt TDP.
• Ryzen 7 Pro 3700, with 8 cores and 16 threads at 3.6 GHz-4.4 GHz, normal and turbo mode, with 36 MB cache and a TDP of 65 watts.
• Ryzen 5 Pro 3600, which has 6 cores and 12 threads at 3.6 GHz-4.2 GHz, normal and turbo mode, 35 MB cache and a 65-watt TDP.

This line is completed with the Ryzen Pro 3000 and Athlon Pro series APUs, which integrate CPU and GPU and are available in configurations of up to four cores and eight wires (processor) and 11 computing units (graphics unit).
