The Zen+ architecture is a microarchitecture developed by AMD for its Ryzen processors, introduced in 2018. It is an evolution of the original Zen architecture, designed to improve performance and efficiency. The architecture features enhancements in core design, cache structure, and memory support, allowing for better multitasking and higher clock speeds. One of the key improvements in Zen+ is the implementation of a refined manufacturing process, which helps reduce power consumption and heat generation. This results in better overall performance, especially in gaming and productivity tasks. The architecture also supports Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT), enabling more efficient use of CPU resources.
