And they're about to drop their new 24 & 32-core threadripper CPUs in a few weeks, for which Intel has no economically viable response. AMD is going is going to crush their earning reports for the next few quarters.
AMD has been my best investment so far. I've always loved them as they've been the rebellious underdog and have brought competitively powerful CPUs into the affordable range for historically low income computer nerds such as myself multiple times.<p>Bitcoin/crypto would have been my next best-- if only I hadn't had my bitcoins stolen from an early mining pool... oh well.
If the rumor [0] that Intel's first 10nm server chip will only release mid 2020 is true, then AMD's shares will probably skyrocket again if they truly can release their Zen 2 server CPU mid 2019 (on 7nm which is comparable to Intel's 10nm).<p>[0] <a href="https://twitter.com/david_schor/status/1022142835989118977" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/david_schor/status/1022142835989118977</a>
"Epyc data-center graphics processing unit (GPU), which has been out for a year"<p>Uh, do they mean vega GPUs or EPYC CPUs?<p>That aside, the experience I've have had with the EPYC cpus has been awesome. They are truly amazing for the price tag.
I wanted a GPU to dabble in mining, machine learning, and games in my new Ryzen build. I went Nvidia becuase of CUDA. That is too bad. I'd have liked to buy the AMD gpu
Oh hell yeah. So glad to see this new competition from AMD. Looking at getting a Ryzen laptop for my next personal workstation. The benchmarks looks fantastic.
Arg, I sold out of my position in $AMD in January after growing impatient waiting for Ryzen profits to show up. That proved to be a mistake, should have held onto my guns and thesis.<p>Perfect buy was on April 25th, up 75% since then.
