AMD even took an undisputed performance lead over Intel for nearly half a decade, before the company could make a comeback with the Core processor family. Repeated attempts by AMD to regain the top spot, such as the first monolithic quad-core chip, the Phenom series, were colossal disappointments.

Cut to 2008 and Intel launched its first architecture with an integrated memory controller codenamed “Nehalem.” This architecture was so much faster than AMD’s that Intel only incrementally updated it for an entire decade running up to 2017, thanks also to AMD’s equally disappointing “Bulldozer” architecture. It took another half a decade for AMD to come up with a brand new chip from the ground up by pooling in some of the brightest chip-designers in the industry, codenamed “Zen” and branded as Ryzen.

AMD RYZEN 7 1800X AM4
AMD launched its much awaited Ryzen 7 processor family. AMD has been known to be a PC processor company way before it acquired ATI in 2006 to also become a graphics company. Owning a PC with a fast AMD processor has been a ‘hip’ thing and told people around you that you’re aware of an industry beyond Intel and the millions of dollars it pumps into marketing each year. Throughout the Pentium era, AMD processors have lived up to being viable alternatives, alongside companies such as Cyrix, who we dearly miss. The company’s K6, Athlon, and Athlon XP processor series did well to ensure Intel didn’t pull the same architecture through the market for an entire decade.
