CPU - AMD Desktop

AMD is a leading brand in the processor market. Scan works closely with AMD to offer the complete range of products and they are also a key ingredient of our award-winning 3XS Systems PCs and workstations.

AMD produces two distinct types of desktop CPU, AMD Ryzen processors for gaming, content creation and office applications plus Ryzen Threadripper processors for professional workstations. The latter have more cores, larger caches and support ECC memory, making them better suited for complex renders, simulations and AI projects.

AMD Ryzen processors are divided up into unique families, each aimed at different price points. The fastest and most powerful processors are Ryzen 9, followed by high-end Ryzen 7 processors, mid-range Ryzen 5 processors and then entry-level Ryzen 3 processors.
