AMD Ryzen™ processors are regularly cited as some of the most powerful and productive CPUs on the market today. Keep reading to learn more about the features and capabilities that make AMD Ryzen™ and Ryzen PRO processors so popular.
AMD Ryzen™ (pronounced RYE-zen) is the brand name of the new, faster, premium AMD computer processors. AMD Ryzen™ processors are built on the company's highly evolved “Zen” microarchitecture, the latest generation of AMD processor technology. They're highly popular and power a wide variety of Lenovo's top-selling laptops, desktops, and workstations.
Since their initial release in 2017, AMD Ryzen™ processors have won acclaim around the globe. Technology analysts say the new AMD Ryzen™ line-up has lifted AMD into direct competition with other manufacturers in terms of processor performance. Today, many reviewers list AMD Ryzen™ processors among the best you can buy, thanks to their fast responsiveness, advanced memory support, efficiency and battery life, and high speed at completing demanding tasks.
What sets AMD Ryzen™ processors apart from other CPUs? That's simple: It's the technology within each chip that delivers more power and new, advanced features compared to earlier generations.
With the AMD Ryzen™ brand, the company added vastly more cores. AMD Ryzen™ and Ryzen Threadripper processors offer from four cores to 16 cores for consumers, and as many as 64 cores for high-end workstations. AMD also introduced Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT), which doubles the processing resources, or threads, available for producing work from each core. So a four-core AMD Ryzen™ processor enjoys up to 8 processing threads, while a 64-core version boasts up to an astonishing 128 processing threads – unleashing performance levels that deliver truly premium experiences.
Compared to earlier AMD products, AMD Ryzen™ processors have several physical advantages:
AMD Ryzen™ Processors are available across the Lenovo PC line-up, including ThinkPad, Yoga, IdeaPad, and ThinkBook laptops and IdeaCentre, Legion and other desktops.
Here's a high-level look at AMD Ryzen™ processor offerings for laptops and desktops. Not every chip described here will be found on a Lenovo system, and over time, newer models will come out and older ones will be discontinued. But the list captures the depth and breadth of AMD Ryzen™ processor offerings and shows there's an AMD Ryzen™ CPU for virtually every user and computing need.
Table 1 shows the specifications of AMD Ryzen™ 6000 Series and 5000 Series processors for laptops as of March 2022. Not every CPU shown here might be found in a Lenovo system, and over time, new models may be added (and older ones dropped). But the list captures the range of core available counts and other features.

2 Max boost for AMD Ryzen™ processors is the maximum frequency achievable by a single core on the processor running a bursty single-threaded workload. Max boost will vary based on several factors, including, but not limited to: thermal paste; system cooling; motherboard design and BIOS; the latest AMD chipset driver; and the latest OS updates. (GD-150)
3 Full system memory encryption with AMD Memory Guard is included in AMD Ryzen™ PRO, AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper PRO, and AMD Athlon™ PRO processors. Requires OEM enablement. Check with system manufacturer prior to purchase. (PP-3)
4 An OEM that has enabled the AMD Secure Boot feature grants permission for their cryptographically signed BIOS code to run only on their platforms using an AMD secure boot enabled motherboard. One-time-programmable fuses in the processor bind the processor to the OEM’s firmware code signing key. From that point on, that processor can only be used with motherboards that use the same code signing key. (GD-192)
