More Background
Ryzen CPUs are made by AMD (Advanced Micro Devices). AMD designs and manufactures these processors, which are based on the Zen microarchitecture. While AMD produces the CPU dies, they often partner with fabrication companies like TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) for manufacturing. For example, some Ryzen 9000 series CPUs are being produced at TSMC’s Arizona facility26.
