Ryzen (/ˈrzən/ RY-zən) is a brand of multi-core x86-64 microprocessors, designed and marketed by AMD for desktop, mobile, server, and embedded platforms, based on the Zen microarchitecture. It consists of central processing units (CPUs) marketed for mainstream, enthusiast, server, and workstation segments; accelerated processing units (APUs), marketed for mainstream and entry-level segments and embedded systems applications.

A majority of AMD's desktop Ryzen products use the AM4 and AM5 platforms. In August 2017, AMD launched their Ryzen Threadripper line aimed at the enthusiast and workstation markets. Ryzen Threadripper uses different, larger sockets such as TR4, sTRX4, sWRX8, and sTR5, which support additional memory channels and PCI Express lanes. AMD moved to the AM5 platform for consumer desktop Ryzen with the release of Zen 4 products in late 2022.
