AMD stock and new chips are taking the market by storm

Go here...

Check out the Ryzen 1800X compared to the i7s.

The AMD chips are not only faster, they are also less than HALF the cost of Intel!

i remember the Nintendo guy while back who bought Nintendo stock as an announcement was coming, Nintendo stock tanks tanked

This isn't Nintendo son!

I have a good friend who is a VP for AMD.

Good stuff in store for that company.

They have their hardware fingers in all the right places.

Every AMD powered laptop or desktop I have ever used is a dog and slow as crap.

Im going to try the ryzen on my next build, if it works out I will be building a render farm with the chips. 350 bucks for 16 threads is dope af.

Guys the AMD chips ARE a hit. Think the same performance as intel for about a third the cost at lower TDP and their just getting out of the gate with this new architecture.

Ryzen is a winner.

Server chips will also be a great value.

So when the BS settles, yes i expect the stock to go up as well.

Can they jam one in a tablet or phone at 4ghz is all i want to know?

I'd love to see some competition. I'd love to see AMD fork out some nice stuff like they did in the early 2000's.

pump and dump!

haha I just watched that last night. Good movie

My Gen 4 Icore5 (6 years old) is still kicking amds newest 8 core chips in the ball sack...

I'm long Compaq and Gateway personally.

Can I have a chip model number and a bench mark against the newer gen 6 and gen 7 icores? How much juice they use?

bought 41,250 amd stocks in feburary of 2015 1.83 to open and bought them at 1.85 a stock. how much am i worth now just off amd stocks..

No, it is not.

Both AMD and Intel are throwing more and more silicon at an architecture that is 40 years old. They are trying to squeeze small performance gains per thread using massive numbers of transistors for more pipelining, etc.

We are long past the point of diminishing returns with this strategy. RISC processors like ARM are the future. They run at multi-GHz and consume a watt or so. They only use around 40,000 transistors per core. Per thread performance isn't as good, but for a given amount of silicon and power, you can put far more cores on a chip. This allows properly written software to run faster with many threads.

Massively parallel software is the only viable path forward, with many slightly less powerful cores running in parallel.

That is what GPUs do, which is why they are so much better than CPUs.

$3.50

You just triggered an Intel fanboy with truth.

Atari FTW you whipper snapper!

TSR80 for the title!

I want to be your friend, Daddy Warbucks.

But research and benchmarking has already shown ryzen chips are not "leaps and bounds" above the competition. These are new enthusiast level CPUs that are targeted towards custom gaming builders and the benchmarking shows it's actually worse performance than intel.

Sorry to burst your bubble but AMD always releases their new generation first and gets some hype but intel and nvidia always own the market with better tech.

Wtf is this trash? Really trump wouldn't know AMD from his asshole. Your lame attempt at politicizing your brand loyalty is pathetic.

I've never used AMD products but I'll agree with OP that these new chips are very impressive.

Not quite as good as the top of the line Intel but they are also about half the price so they are a very good buy.

Not only are AMD making good CPU's but their GPU's are looking good as well and pretty competitive with Nvidea.

I used to love ATI before AMD bought them out and I just purchased geforece 1070 cards for me an my son but the next time I need video cards, if AMD is still competitive I will definitely look into going with them.

For everyone talking about gaming:

if you're a gamer get a i7-7700K. Yes it's faster for gaming. i have one with a GTX 1080. It's a beast. If you're doing workstation tasks like video rendering, the new AMD chips beat it.

I have a great 7700K actually. Can handle 5.2 GHZ OC if my room is cool enough.

i bought AMD at $1 something because they still had great enineering talent from ATI and even further back to the Artx days. I told everyone i knew to get some and hold it long. Although i didnt have a name for it I anticipated the IOT push. I told everyone is was 10+ year thing. Glad i was right.
