It's a pretty big deal, AMD's biggest acquisition ever and even bigger after Nvidia similar deal fell through.

AMD continues to position itself so well.

I’ll believe it when I see it. Though in the interim, I would love to see some fricking 5800x3d news

It really wouldn't surprise me with how quickly the chip shortage is declining.

I had 99% written off Newegg because of their shitty return/restocking fee policy. I 99.9% wrote them off with their exploding PSU bundle. I 100% wrote them off after Steve's video. This is just icing on the shite cake.

But that's the thing, the shortage is only now really declining. Which leaves them with a ton of money left to make in this gen. Because remember, next gen is on a completely different node process and is going to require new motherboards. I think they will want to avoid another "disastrous" launch and build up a stockpile of inventory before release. But I could be wrong.

We'll see. You want about 6 months of production time to really ramp up supply and they have that for a mid to late Q3 launch.

Plus CPU chips are a whole lot easier to fab we've had ryzen and Intel hold stock for months now with no issues.

Them moving it up from late Q4 is a good sign too.

Hey, I hope so. I feel like the earlier Zen 4 comes out, the better the price I can get on a 5800x3d

I only use NE when I absolutely have to. Otherwise, I just get my parts from Amazon or Best Buy.

I really wish Frys Electronics didn't go downhill and shutdown.

I used to actually get a lot of stuff there too - their price matching policy was amazing. They had no limits on matching Best Buy, Amazon, or Newegg.

Lisa Su named AMD chair after completing $49B acquisition of Xilinx


quote:

Advanced Micro Devices Inc. CEO Lisa Su is now also chair of the Santa Clara chip maker, which completed its $49 billion acquisition of San Jose-based Xilinx Inc. on Monday.

When the all-stock deal was announced in October 2020, it was figured to be worth about $35 billion. AMD's stock has increased in value since then, pushing the price paid to what AMD says is the highest ever in the semiconductor industry.

Loaded up on that half day it dipped below 100$!

Only thing that im slightly worried about is TSMC if China starts playing hardball.

AMD's Market Cap Surpasses Intel for the First Time in History

quote:

AMD is now a bigger company, by market capitalization, than Intel. It may be close, but AMD has passed Intel for the first time in the company's history with a ~$197.75 billion market cap at the close of the market on February 15 compared to Intel's $197.24 billion. AMD's sudden market cap surge comes on the back of its blockbuster $49 billion acquisition of Xilinx, the largest semiconductor acquisition in history.

That marks a stark reversal for a company that was teetering on the brink of bankruptcy a mere six years ago when it first unveiled its revolutionary Zen CPU microarchitecture. Six years of relentless execution later, AMD now has an all-time high share of the CPU market, giving it the cash to ink the biggest semiconductor deal in history.

Word is major GPU price slash coming in March.

Sell now if you're going to, and wait now for a bit if looking to buy. March is the magical month with stock and price drop.

Supposedly.

I believe resale prices will continue dropping, but I don't see retail prices dropping this gen, period. But hey, Godspeed to those who have been wandering in the desert all this time

Leaker doesn't specify new or resell market, just major price slash in March.
