AMD is advertising on TV again after years

The signs from AMD have been green for a while now, both in revenue as well as product roadmaps. You've noticed that AMD is sponsoring Ferrari again, but now the first TV commercial has been spotted as well.

A week ago AMD posted a video about Ryzen Mobile online on its YouTube channel, which is also used as an advertisement on the same platform. That advertisement will be used on television as commercial as well. For now, you'll only spot it in the USA on DirectTV.

This advertisement was made by the company Brand & Deliver, a company that has collaborated with AMD more often for the marketing campaign of the Polaris GPUs. It is not known whether the advertisements will also be on TV in the rest of the globe. Yeah, good stuff, AMD is finally getting back on track.

Cool. Very good sign. At least the commercial was not garbage like so many of AMD's commercials in the past. The do need to come up with a slogan as catch as Intel inside.

Atleast they had have AMD logos on F1 Ferraries for few years... But that´s just sponsorship, right? :p

From what I remember, AMD products were advertised within the past year, during the Super Bowl in the US. I don't think the ad itself was about AMD, but I remember it drawing a lot of attention toward "Ryzen" and "Radeon".

I believe I was ten or so when this aired. I liked it then, and still do. Can't be sure, but I think it was briefly shown during college athletic events on Saturdays.

I remember seeing this live on Sky Sports F1, I shouted (well, spoke loudly) at the TV "Do you seriously not know who that is???"

I remember being a little kid and remembering 3DFX commercials. Best one was when they said, " We could use it for medical use, something something then they said NAH! Let's use it for gaming!" I laughed my a$$ off.

"That advertisement will be used on television as commercial as well"
what a colossal waste of money.
