AMD Ryzen support

Post by WayneCa »

The last version I downloaded was 9.5.1. I just went to download 9.8.2 and there is only Intel and ARM versions. Is the AMD version no longer supported?

The Intel and AMD versions are the same. Both processors run the same instruction set.

Thanks. I wasn't aware they use the same instruction set.

Interestingly, AMD invented the 64-bit updates to Intel's x86 instruction set, and Intel were forced to adopt it when it proved more popular than their Itanium, which turned out to be a dead-end.
