uses multi-threading
Intel’s Hyperthreading or AMD’s Simultaneous Multithreading provides better performance by dividing each physical processor core into logical cores, also known as threads.
Thus, each core can run two instruction streams at the same time. nine0003
Has AES
✔AMD Ryzen 5 2600
✔Intel Core i7-7700K
AES is used to speed up encryption and decryption.
Has AVX
✔AMD Ryzen 5 2600
✔Intel Core i7-7700K
AVX is used to help speed up calculations in multimedia, scientific and financial applications, and to improve the performance of the Linux RAID program.
version of SSE
SSE is used to speed up multimedia tasks such as editing images or adjusting audio volume. Each new version contains new instructions and improvements. nine0003
Has F16C
✔AMD Ryzen 5 2600
✔Intel Core i7-7700K
F16C is used to speed up tasks such as image contrast adjustment or volume control.
