Ryzen PRO chipsets have almost identical architecture but have enhanced security and reliability. Each CPU has a dedicated hardware co-processor, which the company says is important for having a secure system, as it reduces opportunities for malware and attackers to get to the CPU. This module scans BIOS while the boot while in other CPU’s expect intel’s i5 and i7 the BIOS never get’s scanned for vulnerabilities.
All the CPU’s in PRO lineup have built-in AES 128 bit Encryption engine which encrypts the sent from CPU to Systems memory hence reduce the workload on processor’s cores. These processors also support Windows 10 Enterprise Security and fTPM/TPM 2.0 for enhanced security. According to AMD, the thing which mainly differentiates Intel I series and AMD’s PRO lineup is silicon level security.
These CPU’s also support DASH (Desktop and Mobile Architecture for System Hardware) manageability for better performance. This system optimises Software according to the CPU which reduce impact on processors.
