Intel is another cold behind?
At the end of March of last year, AMD released and went on the market with its ZEN architecture processors, and the 'Ryzen' that faced the consumer market took advantage of its outstanding performance and high cost performance. Once it was on the market, it took up the disadvantaged CPU market.
The punch that AMD counters after years of silence really hurts!
Shortly afterwards, Intel quickly released its 8th generation processor and used the concept of 'consumer spending 6 cores' to meet.
However, last week, AMD launched a second-generation Ryzen processor after brewing for a year. Major domestic board manufacturers have also successively followed up iterative motherboard products.
As Intel's 8th generation processor continues to tear up the CPU industry, AMD's 'iteration' comes earlier than we expected, but from the point of view of the product's parameters, Intel may also be 'scared'.
2 Memories: Suppressing and Anti-Dumping
Whether Intel or AMD, 2017 is a significant year.
The listing of 'Ryzen' gave more faith to loyal users, so all aspects of 'Rui Long' are doing everything. AMD has finally been able to significantly increase its market share in the high-end consumer market.
The major domestic motherboard makers are also very quick to follow up on Ryzen. On the day of its listing, many types of motherboards have been listed on the market. These motherboards also have product orientations ranging from entry-level to mid- to high-end.
'AMD, it's beautiful!'
Due to Ryzen's reasons, Intel exposed the 8th generation processor 'Coffee Lake' last year. This generation of processor is still based on the 14nm platform development, the pin also uses the LGA 1151 configuration, and late last month followed the 300 series of motherboards The board type is available for the user to choose and the outcome is difficult for the user to select the motherboard product.
That's right, Intel's 'toothpaste' is really crowded this time.
For the first time, Intel invested 6-core and 12-thread processor products in the consumer-level i7 market. The upgrade of the 8700K compared to the 7700K is very impressive, and the overall processor is very sincere.
The birth of the 8700K is equivalent to investing in the consumer market with the 5820K LGA1151 version. With a 0.4GHz frequency boost, the price of 'beautiful' is maintained.
Since then, the end of the era of suppression and hanging into the CPU 2.0 market era.
Current: AMD or continue to seize the CPU market
Once, the power of AMD shocked the entire industry, and this year its big move was not just the launch of the 2nd generation of Ryzen. AMD released a new generation of APUs before the Chinese new year, and injected a good dose of medicine into the entry-level CPU market. From the state of being listed about 2 months ago, there are not many users who choose APU.

Immediately afterwards, the distributors of the channel had begun a large-scale price cut. Although the margin was modest, the industry also felt the 'panic' brought by AMD.
Currently 2 generations of Ryzen processors have been on the market for nearly a week. We also went to the market and general dealers asked about the current CPU sales. More than 60% of the dealers said that due to the limited choice of motherboards currently available, the 2nd generation Ruilong has no large-volume distribution and sale, after all, it has just been exposed and tested for the first time.
In addition, due to the fact that the initial generation of Ryzen has ample supply of goods for sale and high user awareness, relative sales mechanisms and product attributes are relatively mature, and dealers do not purchase large quantities of 2nd generation products.
To think about it, the influence of the initial generation of Ryzen was too great in the past year. The news of the 2nd generation listing has not been widely publicized, and the initial generation of considerable stocks will not be able to see who can replace the status quo for the time being.
But almost all the dealers that were asked When more options are available and the iterations are completed, the 2nd generation Ryzen may continue to erode Intel and seize more market opportunities.
Outlook: Intel 9-generation CPU announced in advance?
How about the future?
Intel's "early" listing under the AMD's 8th generation 14nm Coffee Lake, 10nm far away?
As early as the end of last year, the intel 9th generation processor was buzzed up. Even if we don't get any 'risk news'. However, according to the current situation, Intel's 9700K listing this year is still on the agenda. So is it AMD? What's the cause? I think more or less.
According to industry data, AMD's share in the CPU market share statistics in the first half of 2017 rose to 31%, and the products selected by these users are also in the mid- to high-end range of consumer segments. In other words, AMD's threat to Intel in this market is huge. Intel's market is 10nm. The processor is only a matter of time. June in Taipei may be a good time.
No matter who's green or yellow, it will lead to the success of the competitors. The strong performance and fair price are what the user wants. The more exciting and exciting the game is, the more it will stimulate the development of the industry. The ultimate benefit is DIYer.
