Just a reminder that wccftech.com is notoriously pro-AMD. I would caution against taking their word as proof. I'm not an AMD hater (actually own AMD stock), just cautious.

It's more of a rumor/gossip tech site with a reputation for immediately publishing almost anything you could put a click-baity title on. As a result it does look pro-AMD, because there is significantly more hype (the infamous hype train) in AMD community (just compare /r/amd and /r/nvidia on Reddit). I can't say if it's something that emerged organically in those communities and embraced by corporate or the other way round.

      Haha. Amused to see the hype train Ryzen has created.

      Holy crap that was a bit much. Good for AMD though, they need any break they can get..

  Techies love a hype train, but Ryzen is genuinely important. Intel have had a near-total monopoly on high-performance CPUs for many years. This has led to a dismal stagnation in the CPU market. If you bought an i7-2600k six years ago, you have little reason to upgrade - an i7-7700k is only about 30% faster in most workloads. If Ryzen is anywhere near as good as the benchmarks suggest, then Intel have got a lot of work to do. They'll need massive performance increases, huge price cuts or both to remain relevant. That's good news for everyone except Intel.

>actually own AMD stock Any insight for that? Why do you think AMD is good investment (or speculation).

  Maybe he/she bought when the stock was under 2 dollar last year? I know some people who invested their vacation money back then into AMD stock and are happy now.

  As another investor, the stock has already gone up 650%. You should probably look at another company to buy. Never buy during the hype.
