AMD on the road to recovery.

Funny when you think about it, before the original ryzen came out motherboard manufacturers were "meh" about making products for it, now they can't make them fast enough. Complete turnaround in a short time.

AMD are now outselling Intel 10 to 1 with a record breaking 91% market share for AMD in April 2020 at Mindfactory!

KiNgPiN83 · 3 May 2020 at 22:42

Those figures are nuts. :eek:

TonTom · 4 May 2020 at 07:38

Good on them let’s hope it continues and they can pull something similar on the GPU side even though Nvidia would not be caught napping like Intel

Shame it's not them numbers with OEM sales, bet it's completely reversed when looking at them, Infact I'd go as far to say as a 1000 Intel to 1 AMD

Yep, the force of the Intel backhander is still strong in OEM land.

Plus OEMs know that placing a Intel sticker on a Desktop or Laptop will increase the chance for a sale in comparison to AMD sticker. So unfortunately until the general public know AMD is now "King", OEMs will still go for Intel

Thats because unless you have some sort of minimal tech knowledge, not a lot of people know who AMD is, at my work place, up until Christmas they were still using Dell machines with Windows 7, most of them were that old, they couldnt run Windows 10, so they had to buy a whole load of new machines, the IT company that they brought the machines from even suggested new Intel Dell machines, right up until I asked why Intel, why not AMD, they are cheaper etc, faster (multicore), more powerful and cooler for less power from the wall, and from 95% of people the response was.....Who is AMD, Intel is known everywhere, everyone has heard of Intel, AMD in the average joe real world, no one knows who they are.

Again, your average joe walking in to a high street PC superstore, and I think we all know who im talking about, is offered 2 laptops by some spotty 18 year old teenager, one is Intel, one is AMD, honestly which one do you think Mr Joe is going to go for.....who doesnt really know anything about PC's, he just wants something to surf the net on, watch some netflix and maybe some Microsoft Word, he probably doesnt even know what defragmentation is.

If it has an SSD, he doesn't need to know what it means.

According to the latest market share report from Tanawa Research, AMD now stands with a market share of 60.56% in the Asian DIY market, an impressive jump considering that AMD was around 50% share in late 2019.
Even more interesting is that AMD's Notebook CPU share till January 2020 was 15%, but in April the share exceeded 22.76%, marking a 10 year high for AMD in South Korea!

Bit dull but vital for adoption, some serious gains.

The company has launched its HPE SimpliVity 325 Gen 10 HCI solution with the new 2nd Gen AMD EPYC processor. This doubles the number of virtual desktops supported per server from 300 to 600 which provides organizations with a 50 percent lower cost per remote worker.

AMD sales remains strong at Mindfactory as Comet Lake slowly rolls onto the scene

NinjaCool · 4 Jul 2020 at 19:17

It looks like Intel's Comet Lake has barely made a dent in AMD sales at Mindfactory

humbug · 4 Jul 2020 at 21:23

I love how AMD sold more 3700X than Intel sold CPU's and they aren't even their best sellers.
It's ___________ helarious.

AMD share value breaks $60 for the first time.

AMD is now valued with a Market Cap of $72.4 Billion.

AMD hit a new high in after-hours trading of just over $63 so far. Intel announced a 6 month delay of their latest CPU's. Intel down over 8% in after-hours trading.

I was wondering when they would formally announce the delay to the market place, they are really in some trouble now.

Journey · 29 Jul 2020 at 15:36

Nice to see AMD breach the $75 mark, I can see AMD hitting $150 in the next 12-18 months.

Martini1991 · 29 Jul 2020 at 16:39

I bet some people made an absolute killing on AMD.
Imagine even putting 1K into it back when it was ~$2

heatonpkmassive · 29 Jul 2020 at 17:23

I'm hoping their strengthened position in the last few years through successful CPU launches means them starting to challenge again in the GPU market. We needed to have Intel taken down a peg or two, it would be nice for that to happen to NVidia as well.
