AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO processor is the first and only professional workstation-caliber CPU to exploit a 7 nm silicon manufacturing process, allowing engineers to double the density and fueling the transistor budget needed to substantially drive-up core throughput. With the unveiling of the first generation of "Zen" CPU technology, AMD disrupted the status quo with a microarchitecture completely rebuilt from the ground up and optimized for modern single and multi-threaded workloads. With the Threadripper PRO processor's "Zen 2" microarchitecture, improvements are many, but two carry most of the weight, especially where high demand professional computing is concerned: up to 15% faster instructions per cycle (IPC), and an impressive quadrupling of the peak floating point throughput rate. The former comes primarily by the way of improved branch prediction and pre-fetching, supported by much deeper and broader allocation of cache, while the latter is the result achieved by both doublin
