Expanding to Consumer Range AMD’s Zen 4c CPU microarchitecture is already making its way from business to consumer products. The Ryzen Z1, introduced earlier this year, is one such example. Zen 4c shares the same IPC (instructions per clock) as Zen 4 but differs mainly in L3 cache capacity. AMD has noted that a Zen 4c core is smaller and more cost-effective to produce. It also dissipates less heat, making it a potential candidate for SMB servers in the future.
As AMD continues to innovate and expand its processor offerings, it presents a compelling challenge to Intel in both performance and price competitiveness.
