AMD's consumer CPU family — the comeback that forced Intel to start competing again.
Launched in 2017 with the Zen architecture and turned AMD from near-bankruptcy into market leader. Chiplet design: small "CCD" core dies + a separate I/O die linked over Infinity Fabric — cheaper yields than Intel's monolithic dies. Ryzen 5/7/9 = mainstream, Threadripper = HEDT/workstation, EPYC = server.
