Threadripper, or Ryzen Threadripper, is a brand of HEDT (high-end desktop) multi-core x86-64 microprocessors designed and marketed by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), and based on the Zen microarchitecture. It consists of central processing units (CPUs) and comes in two line-ups, Threadripper and Threadripper PRO.
== Background == Threadripper, which is geared for high-end desktops (HEDT), was not developed as part of a business plan or a specific roadmap. Instead, a small team inside AMD saw an opportunity to give AMD the lead in desktop CPU performance. After some progress was made in their spare time, the project was greenlit and put in an official roadmap by 2016.
