AMD claimed that the company's new Ryzen architecture will last up to four years, which is incidentally the same number of years that it took AMD to develop it.

AMD chief technology officer Mark Papermaster confirmed at the Consumer Electronics Show that the new Ryzen architecture will have a four-year lifespan. On the other hand, Papermaster did not provide details as to how AMD will approach its year-to-year development.

With Ryzen, AMD is aiming for a 40 percent performance improvement compared with the company's previous chip architecture, the Excavator. AMD is in for an exciting year, especially with its rivalry with Intel.

Intel has already released its latest architecture, the Kaby Lake. Despite improvements brought about by its seventh generation of chips, Kaby Lake was received with mixed reviews from tech analysts, enthusiasts, and common users alike. This is probably because Intel failed to hold into the company's "tick-tock" manufacturing model, and the result of which is a third 14 nm processor, according to PC World.

With Intel's fairly favorable release of Kaby Lake, and AMD's radical new architecture, AMD executives and enthusiasts are raging about a new and true revolution in the PC microprocessor market.

Along with Ryzen, AMD is also poised to release its new Vega graphics architecture. Vega is manufactured using the 14nm FinFET process. According to Hot Hardware, Vega uses HBM2 memory, which is 50 percent smaller than video cards using GDDRR5.

AMD claimed that Vega is twice as powerful as the company's previous generation of architecture. It also revealed that with Vega and Ryzen, the company will have a strong fighting chance to redeem the market it had lost to competitors like Intel and Nvidia.
