This is rather troubling, you literally posted an image saying it's up 1.37, it's now 3.99, it's up 52%, but you're saying it's doubled.

That's only taking into account a single-day gain. It's actually more than doubled over the past two months. They were at 1.83 in mid-February, and as low as 1.62 in July last year.
I don't understand that at all, yes AMD stock has shown a very good improvement since the financial conference call, but it hasn't doubled by any stretch of the imagination, Now if you are saying it has doubled in the last year, then ok yes it has, or if you are saying it has gone up 50% then again that is fine, but it certainly hasn't doubled over the last month.

It doubled in 6 weeks.

The sp has doubled since its 3 month low in February.
Well I make it about 8 weeks ago that it was under $2 a share, but that is irrelevant really. It is a good heathy sign from AMD and certainly good for the industry.
I was going to stick my whole savings into AMD when they started talking about the A64 range... I could have owned my own house by now if i had done.

This guy understands.
Good to see AMD fortunes rising, looking forward to Polaris, Zen and the AMD powered new consoles. Good stuff.
I believe AMD are also involved in licensing some of their server architectures to a Chinese consortium.

I'm pretty sure its this, not polaris and zen that has caused the huge jump as both products have yet to make an impact and in the past, promising releases haven't resulted in such jumps.
It's good business news but not from a consumer point of view beyond the fact AMD have a bit of life in them financially.

Part 2 of AdoredTV's AMD Masterplan, very interesting and I can see what's mentioned becoming true the way things are shaping up in the GPU market, need only look at current DX12 games to see why this could well be a huge deal later on this year.
There's a lot of nonsense in that video. Claiming NVIDIA don't have the "manufacturing capability" to be the hardware vendor for the PS4 or Xbox1, when the real reason NVIDIA turned them down was that they'd only get peanuts for each console.
AMD were desperate for the money, so of course snapped up this deal.
By the time many DX12 games are out, Pascal will be out which will most likely completely outclass AMD hardware, just as NVIDIA hardware did for the majority of DX11 titles.
Completely wrong. Nvidia didn't have the ability to make a custom SOC which both PS4 and XBOX One were looking for. That's the real reason Nvidia didn't get the console deal.

Not forgetting that while NVidia use TSMC as well, gpu's are at the bottom of the production barrel when it comes to factory time.
AMD have access to not only TSMC, but also Global Foundries and Samsungs 14nm factory for some things. So when it comes to production volume AMD can produce way more than NVidia ever could.
As for the whole console thing. AMD control the market now, and even the new Nintendo will contain an AMD GPU.

Yeah the move towards SoC combined with their lack of a x86 license effectively ended any possibility of them competing for console deals.
Exactly. Anything which Nvidia subsequently said was just pure PR spin. That AMD's margin on the consolers weren't /aren't spectacular is neither here or there. Plus Nvidia do have a great knack for ****ing off some of their ex partners (which seems to be a bigger factor in AMD's Apple wins).
Well if they are making all of them, perhaps they can make it up in volume a little!

Tbh if AMD were in a better position financially they could hold console manufacturers to ransom almost. No other compny in the world can offer x86 and bleeding edge GPU performance.
You would have thought they would be what with all those lucrative console deals they have that Nvidia missed out on.
oh wait...
