AMD Shares Soar Ahead of Ryzen Release [VIDEO]
Joshua KyleAhead of the January 2017 release date of its next-generation Ryzen CPU, Advanced Micro Devices reached an unprecedented record-high of $11.75 per share in the stock market. This signals the confidence of the business sector in putting their stakes on AMD, fueled by optimism that the AMD Ryzen will do well in the tech market.
After the preview run success of Ryzen, AMD's shares soared up to a whopping 300 percent as of this posting. A product of engineering breakthrough, Ryzen is expected to take the front line in AMD's bid to end Intel's dominance in the microprocessor business.
With the brewing excitement and success of the AMD Ryzen's pre-release campaign, market analyst Matthew Briar said that the flagship product will pave the way for AMD's game-changing performance in 2017 after staying low for a long while. If the momentum sustains, he pointed out that AMD could easily take the lead against its other rivals such as Nvidia and Qualcomm.
During its preview run, Ryzen's power easily outclassed the Intel Core i7 6900K processor, performing tasks faster while producing a better graphics output. It delivered a record-breaking 40 percent improvement in instruction-per-clock (IPS) cycle as compared to its predecessors without power boost.
Packing itself in an 8-core and 16-thread platform, the AMD Ryzen's architecture is so far the fastest processor ever built in history. It will be launched through an AM4 motherboard with a Bristol Ridge chipset, a dual-memory channel, and a DDR4 memory subsystem. But what really lures consumers toward Ryzen is its price tag, which is initially set within a $200 to $500 range.
AMD only controls about 17 percent of the CPU market now. After a series of failed attempts to top the CPU market, it might finally get the chance with Ryzen at the frontline. Moreover, the current market and consumer response has already foreshadowed the bright future of the Sunnyvale, California-based company.
