AMD Performance in 2019
While Intel inflates their prices to gain revenue, AMD’s smooth ride is secured by their affordable CPU prices. Since they’ve been gaining share in the CPU market, their Ryzen CPUs severely outsell the Intel counterpart. In 2018, their Radeon products were bringing a substantial amount of revenue to AMD. But, in 2019, they’re once again overshadowed by Nvidia counterparts. Many desktop and laptop manufacturers such as Samsung and Lenovo are taking advantage of AMD’s CPUs and GPUs, making AMD one of the most dominant companies in the tech world.
In 2019, AMD plans to launch a new generation of 7nm chips, which could bring additional revenue. Analysts predict that it may add $1 billion in Computing and Graphics segment sales.
AMD Market Share
Back in 2017, total X86 revenues were $17.5 billion, with Intel holding most of the revenues – around 90 percent. In 2018 and 2019, the demand for AMD’s chips is significantly higher, as AMD gained some market from Intel. AMD’s EPYC is of special interest, as their single socket processor delivers astonishing performance, compared to dual processor servers. Of course, AMD’s offering is much cheaper than Intel’s.
What Does the Future Hold for AMD 2019?
If AMD continues like this, they could gain even more market from Intel, which is their primary rival. With the rising popularity of their Ryzen and EPYC processors, AMD will have some space to breather in 2020 and possibly in 2021. Source: forbes
