AMD Ryzen microprocessor took four years before it was finally launched as a sturdy microprocessor. This is the same duration the company expects it to be relevant in the industry as it poses ongoing war with Intel. AMD Chief Technology Officer Mark Papermaster has revealed in CES 2017 that the AMD Ryzen expects a four-year lifespan for the new microprocessor. Still, he kept mum about the details and specifics of the powerful microprocessor.

AMD Ryzen will be the latest Zen chip architecture available for the public, entering a very important time in the battle against rival Intel, which just launched its mainstream quad core Kaby Lake microprocessers. Tech experts were quick to rave on the chips that their competition had released and Intel's popular tick-tock manufacturing model have made it a lot easier to expect less from their latest offering. Fortunately for them, this new quadcore microprocessor has achieved the expected result in a third 14nm chip, Kaby Lake.

AMD then continued to work hard despite the newest approach and development in Intel side. They aimed to hit the 40% improvement target on performance over the Excavator, its precedent chip architecture. The synergy of mild Intel launch plus the new approach in AMD architecture has radically enthused the competition between the two. With the new AMD executives running the company, the PC processor market has peaked in terms of competition for the first time in recent years.

Now that everything is working as expected, Jim Anderson, the senior VP and general manager of the Computing and Graphics business of the company, puts everything on the line. He said: "Ryzen chips will be available from Day 1 and we're not gonna do paper launches." It seems like there is no turning back and customers need not wait for a specific time period for the products to arrive. The AMD Ryzen will be there to live on as Anderson said there is really a lot of time put into it: "Zen is going to be tock, tock, tock!"

Intel has made it tick-tock for the past years developing a new microprocessor every two years. AMD, on the other, looks into the four-year distance. improvements to the Zen architecture has kept everybody guessing but one thing is for sure - Zen architecture will go wide and eventually increase the amount of instructions a chip can process, with predictive tables and machine enhancing its ability to process data. Here is a sneak peek of AMD Ryzen during the CES 2017.
