ryzen naming convention
I don't get it, why the confusion? The differences between Ryzen 1200, 1300, 2700, and 2800 are about performance and features. Let me explain in simple terms.
The naming system resembles Intel's approach. The initial digit indicates the generation, with the subsequent digits showing performance ranking within that generation. Higher numbers typically correspond to faster clock speeds and/or more processing units. Ryzen 1xxx represents the first generation (Zen 1), Ryzen 2xxx denotes an improved version of the first generation (Zen 1+), Ryzen 3xxx signifies the second generation (Zen 2), and models like the Ryzen 3 1200 feature 4 cores running between 3.1 to 3.7 GHz.
The first digit represents the generation, such as 1 in 1200 indicating the initial release. The next part is the CPU model name. A higher number within the same generation often signifies improved performance, which could mean more cores/threads or enhanced speed.
