Amd zen is safer than kaby lake

AMD Zen may not achieve the performance offered by Intel processors, but Sunnyvalle's new microarchitecture offers a great advantage over its rival in the business sector by including advanced encryption technologies to provide a platform with significant security advantages in the sector.

AMD Zen includes very important and explanatory security elements

AMD Zen includes SME (Secure Memory Encryption) and SEV (Secure Encrypted Virtualization) features that are focused on the business sector to improve security. SEV improves the hardware implementation of SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm) which is a set of hash functions that has been designed by the United States National Security Agency. These important features will be exclusive to AMD for now and Intel will not have them at least Cannonlake at best, so the former will have a great advantage in this regard for quite some time, which could give them a significant volume of sales of these Zen-based chips.

All these technologies make use of an ARM Cortex-A5 Co-Processor that is focused on managing the security subsystem without the main processor having to deal with it and therefore its performance is not diminished. This makes it much more difficult for the system to succumb to an attack damaging the performance of RAM memory, erase data or compromise the security of the computer.

It is clear that the Zen Ridge-based Summit Ridge processors will not only be interesting for the most demanding gamers and users with the performance of their platform, but the environments where great security prevails will also benefit greatly.
