so pro is different to reg? e.g 3900X vs 3900X pro ?
They're probably on the horizon https://www.amd.com/en/ryzen-proQuote:

So basically at best it has some extra 'encryption' or protection over the normal ryzen3... wouldn't it have been worthwhile having some of these features in normal desktop cpu's.
But then you wouldn't have a business focused CPU that you can dramatically increase margins on then?Quote:

Not really the point. IF you pay more for the PRO series (which is tricky to work out since they're OEM only) what you're paying for is the dedicated enterprise-level support, as much as any specific features. And if you're an enterprise of > 1000 staff (or you're on OEM selling to an enterprise of > 1000 staff) that's kind of critical, because you're going to have a lot of processors that will need a lot of support.Quote:

But, as I mentioned above, the PRO series have an entirely different model of support targeted at large businesses, or the OEMs that sell to them (e.g. Dell premier, HP enterprise ...).Quote:

As to the 3400G, it's already available at retail, it's basically just a 2400G transferred to a 12nm process (v. 14nm) with very performance minor tweaks, and it's probably exactly the processor you're looking for.
Ah cheers, I'd been keeping an eye out for the 3400G and obviously missed it!
I know, was just taking the mick :PQuote:
