AMD is a semiconductor company that develops computer processors and other related technologies for business and consumer markets (Wikipedia). There rival is Intel, when it comes to selling CPU’s. Intel is known for having more high-end CPU’s, but with AMD you are probably going to get more bang for your buck. AMD has good performance CPU’s for excellent prices.
The AMD RYZEN 7 1800X is a 7th generation CPU. It is extremely fast with 8-cores and 16 threads. Passmark gave it an outstanding score of 15,390. I would highly recommend this CPU to anyone looking to upgrade their computer. It is a little pricey at $338.77, so it may only make sense to buy for a business or gamer computer, but its performance makes it well worth the price.
