The success of AMD Ryzen puts Intel in trouble

[OyaYansa]

The eternal comparative and debate about itself is better AMD or Intel has warmed up a lot in 2017. At the moment, it seems that Intel retains the first place in sales, although with more and more problems to keep at bay its main competitor. The successful launch of the new AMD Ryzen processors has increased and much the market share of this manufacturer.

According to market research data, AMD Ryzen has boosted the number of AMD processor devices by 10%, reducing Intel's overwhelming dominance by the way. These data are shocking because they multiply by five the growth of AMD only in the second quarter of 2017, showing a behavior that in the medium and long term can be devastating.

Apparently, the announcement of the new Intel Core i9 has not been enough to counteract the relationship between quality and price of AMD Ryzen 7, Ryzen 5 and new chips for professionals. The company is still betting on cheaper processors than Intel, although this time the performance is almost even, an irresistible claim for many users.

If we consider the data since the beginning of 2017, the number of devices that equip AMD-Rouzen processors or not - has grown by 53%. Particularly strong is the growth in the mid-low segment of the market, on computers that are equipped with cheaper gaming processors but capable of running some of the latest PC video games.

The only glitches you can put to this comparative AMD and Intel sales are its limitations. Only the growth of new devices is measured, not the computers and consoles that were already on the market. It is also limited to Windows 10 as the only operating system, leaving out MacOS and Linux, among others.

Despite the perks that can be put to PassMark information, it is clear that 2017 is a very good year for AMD, whose growth expectations are stable or increase in the face of the remainder of the year and 2018. Overcoming Intel continues Being a chimera, at least in the medium term, although it seems that the reaction must be immediate. It would not be the first great company to lose its dominant position in a very short time.
