Profit tripled,now that is always good
Undying
All that with zen4 and rdna3 being on track for 2022 is a good news.
Maddness
Hell yeah. Well done AMD.

AMD deserves it, RDNA2 and Zen 3 are the bombs!

I built a new pc this winter. Full AMD build.

Well when they manage to get over 900 Euro out of the likes of me for their new high-end processor of course profits will be up.

As expected. The can now sell $120 graphics cards for $400 MSRP.

So did I except PSU and ram.
Every gaming computer i have built since 2017 has been ryzen
1500x, r5 1600, 2600x [x370] 2700x[x470] 5600x[x570] and also have 1920x X399 thread ripper.
Ill skip am5 first gen. My 5600x should hold up for two years.

I upgraded my rig in January of this year. Ryzen 9 5950X...no Intel inside anymore

It's only good if they put that money back into R&D, or production.

higher markups = higher profits.

Lisa is still running things so we know she will.

While AMD is breaking records, Intel is busy shuffling PR numbers around in a vain effort to "appear" as close to AMD's CPU product line as possible (Intel is now calling its 10nm process simply "7" to try and appear equal to TSMC's 7nm, etc. Notice that Intel is not claiming its 10nm process is actually a 7nm process--nope, the "7" is a standalone number Intel pulled out of a hat...;) nm need not apply.). A real demonstration of the fact that products trump vaporware every single time...;)

i have no fear of AMD resting on its laurels or deciding to pursue R&D less vigorously.
every single move Dr. Su has taken has lead to this point. and she's faced down doubters and haters every step of the way.
every step from design to the execution of details has progressed just as she's planned, except better.
she hoped to gain a workstation toehold, AMD now controls the market. she's hoped that real world performance would overcome marketing, now that marketing has stopped talking about "glue" and started to talk about how close they are to each other. lol

I wouldn't say we know that, though it is very probable. Unlike Intel's leaders, Lisa is thankfully not the type to sit back when things get easy, but, AMD has been getting substantially more expensive. That's the kind of behavior you see from a company that's getting cocky, and/or less focused on the best interest of the consumers. We'll be seeing more from their R&D, for now.
Of course, all of this is very skewed, because supply isn't keeping up with demand; AMD might as well profit from those willing to spend extra if everything is going to get sold-out anyway..

Shoot. I'm still on my 1600x LOL

99% more sales sounds great, and I've contributed to this number. But how does that relate to competition? Haven't Intel sold more than AMD?
TheDigitalJedi
I got in when the stock dollar was at about $64.00.

Still a damn good cpu! I just got lucky on upgrades. The 1600 cost me $35,the 2600x was free, 2700x was $375 cpu, board, h115i, 16gb DDR2 3200, and GTX 780.
Paid $475 for the 1920x TR setup.
Board, cpu, 32gb 3200, GT 1030.

I agree with the supply side. I don't think AMD is getting cocky. With V-cache incoming and the rumor's on Zen4 they are not letting up. Lisa being an engineer with a PhD from MIT I don't think she will ever get cocky on the tech side of things. People with that much science and math tend to look at things more in a scientific method way so she will certainty see how Intel's upcoming products will be very good. With Pat and Lisa running things I think we are in for a relentless back and forth.
