Very good news. Have been a little worried AMD wont make the long game which is needed to get into the server market. Hopefully AMD will stay competitive to Intel for years to come.

And this includes the downturn in the crypto market and Zen+ merely doing okay. Can't wait to see what Zen 2 will do (I'll probably upgrade then - I'd love to have the first 7nm CPU). It's amazing to consider that only a year ago AMD was still making a loss. A strong turnaround indeed.

Nice! Now make a high end GPU that kick nVidia's ass 😀 50% faster for 20% less prize 😉

Being faster than 1080 but slower than the 1080ti not enough ? I think they did well myself i dont understand why you would say such a thing.

50% faster than nVidias next gen "1180" would be nice for us 🙂 We don't need "old performance" like 1080/1080ti performance.

I'm so glad for AMD to be making a profit for the 2nd quarter in a row. Good to see them standing strong again. I just hope for them that they can maintain a steady growth going forward. We finally have healthy competition back on track and we consumers can bennefit from it again. Now they must just get those GPUs fine tuned and we have all round great competition. This surely is good times for anyone looking at building a new PC.

OK, so AMD is still on schedule for 7nm. Intel has had, what 14nm++++++++++ because they just keep refreshing tech for half a decade?

Except it is slowing down in the future: https://www.pcper.com/news/Editorial/AMD-Announces-Q2-2018-Results
Guidance for next quarter will be disappointing for some investors and readers. AMD claims it will be flat between Q2 and Q3. This is not entirely surprising. Gaining desktop CPU marketshare has not been a slam dunk for AMD with Ryzen. The product stack has made it competitive with Intel and its offerings, and has in fact provided excellent value in terms of IPC and core count. Ryzen is not an Athlon 64. Ryzen was merely competitive with what Intel currently offers as compared to Athlon 64, which was head and shoulders more advanced than what Intel offered at the time with the Pentium 4. AMD is finding advances in marketshare in both desktop and mobile to be slow, but steady. AMD obviously does not expect big gains this next quarter, and are in fact a little behind the ball when it comes to graphics. NVIDIA is poised to release a new generation of products within the next few months addressing the upper midrange and high end offerings that will erode AMD’s effectiveness with their Vega parts.

No, it's because Intel fab their own chips, they don't out source to other companies like Nvidia or AMD do. Their engineers have had major issues with 10nm let alone 7nm they have sunk so much money into 10nm that they can't not let it go and just move on. Which is why we have 14nm+++ which if you look at the first 14nm CPU to their latest they are quite a bit faster but their efficiency is excellent for the clock speeds they can achieve. This is me defending Intel as well and I can't stand that company now, I've been with them since Conroe (core 2 x6800) and their business practises I simply can not support any more. AMD uses Global Foundaries as their main chip maker and then TSMC for everything else. I am sure even Samsung helped them at some point as well.

Only slightly faster than 1080, slightly more expensive, but more power hungry than a 1080ti. http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/amd_radeon_rx_vega_64_8gb_review,8.html Stroke of luck for AMD that it came out at the height of the mining boom.

Thats kinda old? I have a V64 Nitro+ and heavily overclocked at 1772 doesn't burn 334W while benching. On just factory overclock (1630) it sits around 256-260W. While on games like EUIV, CK2 etc it goes to 170s and you can go to power saving mode with one click. Still having 140fps at 2560x1440, and burn just 76W. (applied on other games like X3, CIV5, Eve Online etc) The GTX1080Ti Xtreme I had was trying to burn 300-340W all the time activated a game, and without FPS cap on drivers some games above were pushing needlessly 1000 fps. (somehow vsync isn't working on EUIV & CK2 with the GTX1080Ti). And there is no option on the drivers to lower the perf or cap the FPS.

18% by EOD. Absolutely amazing - one of the largest single-day jumps I have ever seen. As a stockholder, I was smiling all the way home from work today and I'm still smiling 🙂 Finally, we long-suffering AMD investors are getting our due. I'm expecting some pullback tomorrow (profit-taking), but the stock might finally be on its way up after trading sideways for most of the year. Too bad for the shorts, who are getting the life squeezed out of them, LOL :P

Congratulations AMD! Please keep it up, I wish you the best. And come on guys, AMD has earned it, be honest. AMD was "not noteable" for the last ... how many ... about 10 years or something like that? They violated PCIe specs for their GPUs (too much power draw I think on those RX480 (?) models back then) and their CPUs were too "bad" of everything. Too hot, too much power draw, too little performance. Only the price was appealing, if at all. Today AMD is "back to life", their CPUs rock again (and from what I see are not so affected by the latest security issues), GPUs are mostly on par with the "upper NVIDIA models" and if you argue about the price: AMD has V56 and V64 in place as its current generation. NVIDIA has 1030, 1050 in dozens of types, 1060 (3GB & 6GB), 1070 (+ti), 1080 (+ti) and Titan Xp and V. AMD positions its cards between 1070 and 1080, their iGPUs play catch with the lower discrete models. OK, AMD is still far from perfect, but it is competable again at least. So give 'em some honor for that. Be fair.
