AMD Could take Back 30% of the Processor Market
Good times for AMD. Intel is under a lot of scrutinies lately, scandals with their top-tier staff, issues with 14nm production, delays at 10nm and vulnerabilities are only a few of them. Meanwhile, AMD has picked up the pace and simply put very competitive and affordable processors on the market with Ryzen.
AMD does not seem to suffer from production issues and vulnerabilities, which haunts Intel quite a bit, still. These factors have an effect on overall sales for sure, the motherboard partners notice this and are ramping up as the demand for Ryzen is on the ryze. In a new report, Digitimes now projects that AMD could take back 30% of processor sales in Q4 next year already. And knowing where AMD came from, that's a pretty significant piece of the pie (and good news for them).
Desktop and motherboard vendors including Asustek Computer, Micro-Star International (MSI), Gigabyte Technology and ASRock have ramped up production and shipments of devices fitted with AMD processors, driving up the chipmaker's share of the desktop processor market to over 20% in the third quarter. The company is very likely to see the figure further rebound to the level of 30% again.
In terms of server processor market, AMD's EPYC 7000 series processors have been well adopted by Mellanox and Samsung Electronics since their launch in June 2017, and the firm's expanded EPYC series have also won robust support from heavyweight clients including Microsoft, Baidu, Dell, HP and Supermicro, as well as Taiwan's Inventec, Wistron, Asustek, and Gigabyte. It is expected that the EPYC series sever processors will help AMD win a 5% share of the global x86 server platform market by the end of 2018, which has been 99% controlled by Intel. AMD's latest EPYC processor, codenamed Rome and adopting Zen2 architecture, is slated for volume production in 2019 using 7nm process at TSMC after the delivery of samplings by the end of 2018.

AMD Could take Back 30% of the Processor Market
about time, Intel need to come back to reality, they are no long top dog or only CPU woth using, AMD at this point charging much less for similar performance, After all this years of never wanting AMD again, I think IF make new PC which at this point with way prices are I wont, I will go with AMD I am already tell people to get AMD Ryzen over Intel at this point simpley cause prices points for Intel isnt worth it VS AMD seeing how close they are to Intel STP aside which should matter much going forward

Good for AMD, Intel needs to be brought down a couple of pegs, they've grown a little too accustomed to having no competition.

Oh oh, Fottemberg told me the source.

idk about 5x the Ryzen+ on the Ryzen 2, but the ipc leap is consistent with what i hear from my engineering bro's in the valley. also of note that the mobile version of Ryzen 2 is dramatically lower in power consumption than 9th gen Intel...with higher clocks than Intel's 9th gen mobile procs (soon to arrive...announcement any day) and when Alienware/Dell announces the I-9/2080, I-5/2070 laptops you have to expect a massive power supply...easily over 250 watts. don't forget that AC adapter.
