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.

Depends on Intel 9000 series release. If its priced right, AMD might lower price to keep consumers interested in Ryzen 2.
Otherwise, price only goes down as Zen2 near its release to clear Zen1 stocks.
What are the chances that prices will go down in the next few weeks or so?

Also the same. I dont expect prices to go down until a couple of months before release, unless something happens over the Black Friday sales.

I'm on the "waiting for Zen 2" train as well. Assuming either DDR4 prices stop being triple or if it uses DDR5 in which case it's normal to be really gouged for a new generation.
I just hope whatever AMD's next high-end chipset is called will support more than 6 SATA ports. That's a joke.

After reading about the potential prices for the Intel 9000 series CPUs I don't see why not.

Same here. Difference is, i have the 2600k since it came out. Im in for a new build and also looking at the 2700x for a complete amd build, that ill keep for the next 7-8years or so, like my old 2600k. What are the chances that prices will go down in the next few weeks or so?
