The Ryzen's architecture is AMD64 (AKA x64, or x86-64). It's the |
| 31 |
old Intel IA32 architecture (which dates back to the 80386) extended to |
| 32 |
be 64-bits wide. |

If you want an Arm laptop, you pretty much have to by a Chromebook. |

AMD did have the "Opteron A" processor which included an Arm |
| 41 |
Cortex-A57 core, but that was aimed at the blade-server market, and I |
| 42 |
think it was discontinued... |
