For users who demand a premium VR experience, AMD offers high-performance Ryzen VR Ready Premium processors. These select models meet or exceed the current top VR-HMD manufacturers Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, or Windows Mixed Reality recommended specifications for processors, helping ensure the best possible experiences within the virtual worlds you choose.

Ready for AMD Ryzen 5 processors, AMD Socket AM4 represents the company's future-proof platform targeting the fast DDR4 memory, PCIe 3.0, and NVMe technologies available, as well as native 10 Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 2 support and processor-direct SATA and USB connectivity that is configurable for real-world flexibility.

AMD Processor high-performance x86 Core "Zen" architecture helps delivers >52% improvement in instructions per clock cycle over the previous generation AMD core, without increasing power. 2nd Gen Ryzen processors offer even more performance, improved with "Zen+" architecture, delivering a desktop processor on the advanced 12nm process node.

SSDs are fast, but expensive, and offer minimal capacity. Mechanical hard drives boast large capacity for a low price, but are much slower than an SSD. AMD StoreMI technology "combines" these two types of storage into a single drive and automatically moves the data you access the most to the SSD, so you get the best of both worlds: SSD responsiveness, and mechanical hard disk capacity with its low price. AMD StoreMI is a powerful tool for enthusiasts that want to improve load times, boot times, file management, and system responsiveness. It can help if you:

Installed Windows to a hard drive and don't want to re-install everything to get SSD-like performanceYou have a large library of files across several drives and want it all under one drive letterYou wish the hard drive with your games could get you into the match at SSD speeds

As you add more and faster drives to your system, AMD StoreMI technology automatically pairs your most-used files with the fastest storage for peak performance. You can also use up to 2GB of RAM as a last-level cache for ultra-fast data. If you have an AMD 400-series chipset, you can download AMD StoreMI software for free.

AMD's SenseMI technology is a set of learning and adapting features that help the AMD Ryzen processor customize its performance to you and your applications, thanks to true machine intelligence (MI).

Every AMD Ryzen processor is multiplier-unlocked from the factory, so you can personalize performance to your taste. AMD provides the AMD Ryzen Master utility to access this powerful advantage.
