AMD claims that Ryzen PRO is the first-ever 8-core, 16-thread CPU for commercial grade PCs. The presence of the 'Zen' core in every AMD Ryzen PRO processor provides up to 52 percent improvement in computation power over the previous generation of Ryzen PRO processors. The company also claims that Ryzen 7 PRO 1700 offers up to "62 percent more multi-threaded performance than select competing solutions".
