AMD on the road to recovery.

10 core mainstream.... Bonkers. When you consider 18 months ago we were stuck to 4 core for almost 10 years.

First desktop quad core came out pretty exactly 12 years ago:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core_2
Let's hope next ten years go better for CPU development than previous 10 years.
And really best guarantee for that is AMD gaining strength.

Anyway 10 core CPU is rather unlikely, for stated reason and for current node.
Unless it's dual 6 core CCX chip with 10 active cores.
But unless manufacturing process has improved enough to allow higher boost clock states than in 2700X it wouldn't make much sense:
Design and testing would have needed resources, lot better spent on elsewhere. (just like AMD prioritized getting Zen out over Vega)

7nm Zen2 chip used for EPYC 2s would be more sense making.
But that would need well enough working 7nm production from TSMC.
 
They have been sampling 7nm EPYC for months now. :)

Apple are already selling products with TSMC 7nm chips in them.

OEMs enlist the help of AMD amid Intel shortage, boosting market share predictions
https://www.kitguru.net/components/...l-shortage-boosting-market-share-predictions/

"Analyst believe this will see AMD triple its market share, going from today’s 10 percent to 30 percent by the second half of next year."

This is actually big news, if AMD gets back into the OEM market seriously, they and the OEM will make mega bucks. There is zero reason for OEM to pick Intel over AMD really, other than brand snobbery and maybe a bit of trust.

OEM can target their products at a lower price point and sell bigger amounts as they become more affordable.
 
Ive been saying to my Mrs for ages now, I really wish I had of brought shares in AMD when they were at there lowest with Bulldozer etc, id be rich now.
 
dont we all wish we had bought AMD stock once upon a time same with amazon and cisco and apple :(

great to see them back where they belong more market share means more sales means more money sunk into R&D means even more competitive. result being quicker advances and better bang for buck for us the consumers. would be nice to see another competitor in the industry though just to throw a curveball into the mix. not very likely to happen now unless one of the really big players want to drop a good few billion. Nvidia/Samsung/Apple are about the only ones i can think of with the incentive and the cash to do something like this.

Well, you can still buy today and with the positive outlook and prospects for AMD, you will still get a lot when the share price hits $100, for instance.

Back then, people feared, with right, about the risk for AMD to go bankprupt... except all those who had inside information on the Zen projects/GloFo processes/TSMC processes.
 
And those who can afford a gamble,

same with btc etc we all wish with hindsight. It is, however, good news and good to see.
 
Raymond James downgrades Intel on 10nm delay

Analyst Chris Caso: “Intel’s biggest strategic problem is their delay on 10nm production – we don’t expect a 10nm server chip from Intel for two years. 10nm delays create a window for competitors, and the window may never again close.”
In July, Intel said its 10nm chips would release for holiday 2019. AMD’s (NASDAQ:AMD) 7nm server chips, manufactured by TSMC (NYSE:TSM), will have a volume launch sometime next year.
Caso says that “Intel is standing still” but “TSMC isn’t” and that the delay will allow TSMC to become “firmly in the lead.”
Intel shares are down 1.8% to $46.09. AMD is up 1% to $32.94 and TSMC is down 0.9% to $44.50.

Indeed. The ability to consistently make money from seemingly nothing is the domain of very few. As with most forms of gambling I suspect the loosers far out number the winners. It is interesting to note that historically the birth of the stock exchange coincides with the demise of alchemy. ;)

It is great to see AMD's 'stock' rising after the many years in the wilderness. I just hope that they are spending that increased revenue on repeating the same feat in the GPU market.

Thought the 8600k might be in there at least. Funny how Intel doesn't seem to have the same grasp on the market as Nvidia does. People were quick to drop them for more cost effective builds.
 
The large hardware retailer Mindfactory in Germany shows record numbers of AMD CPU's sold in September!

Another first for AMD is that their 2600 CPU has now overtaken the 8700k as the biggest seller at Mindfactory :eek:
