AMD over $10 a share today, price last seen back in 2007

Looks extremely overpriced due to lots of investor hoping to get similar gains as the one from NVIDIA stocks.<p>Without starting a flame war, i personally think AMD is lagging way behind NVIDIA, which lately has been releasing incredible products. They have been expanding in both the gaming market as well as gained a strong foothold in emerging B2B markets such as the automotive industry and virtual reality.<p>Sure both AMD and NVIDIA will keep growing but now they really feel overpriced.

Everyone is expecting Zen to perform well. AMD also has been hyping it up a lot. I hope it doesn&#x27;t turn out to be a pile driver kind-of architecture. Intel needs competition to keep prices sane, which currently they are not.

This is because of the rumors that Intel is going to cross license AMD GPU patents for use in their integrated GPU&#x27;s as the intel-nvidia gpu cross license agreement is going to expire next year.

It all depends on Zen providing real competition to Skylake. I am skeptical. Even if zen is a killer chip, it will land is a sparse environment. AMD needs a win on CPU <i>and</i> chipset.<p>Most likely outcome: Zen is decent but not enough to make a dent in intel. At most it pushes Intel&#x27;s prices down a little.<p>ARM is the real competitor to Intel not AMD.
