On June 6, 2018, during the Computex 2018, AMD officially demonstrated its future products: EPYC server processor with Zen 2 architecture for 7nm process, and 7nm process, Radeon Vega GPU with 32GB HBM2 memory, further Accelerate the pace of 7nm process chip landing.
On the previous day (June 5th), Tencent Cloud announced the official launch of the SA1 cloud server based on the AMD EPYC processor. At the same time, AMD's next-generation 7nm EPYC processor, codenamed 'Rome', will also begin sampling later this year..
Computex 2018 AMD Press Conference
Compared to 2017's re-emergence, 2018 is more like a continuous upgrade for AMD. It is the first time that Ryzen's second-generation desktop product has just been released, or Computex debuts, with up to 32 cores. 12 Nano Ryzen ThreadRipper (thread tearing) Second-generation processor, or 7nm process chip, AMD continues to force the entire chip field is full of passion.
Be crowned with Intel, 'Squeezing Toothpaste Young', no longer improved CPU performance by 10% last year Instead, the eighth-generation Core processor directly upgrades the two cores, and the performance is improved by about 40%~50%.
According to the 2017 financial report announced by AMD at the beginning of this year, AMD's annual revenue was US$5.33 billion, higher than US$4.27 billion in 2016. Net profit was US$43 million, higher than the net loss of US$497 million in the previous year;
At the same time, according to the data from Mercury Research, the market share of AMD in the entire desktop-class processor market increased by 1.1 percentage points compared with the same period of last year after the end of Q4 2017, a year-on-year increase of 2.1 percentage points, achieving a 12% share of the recent high, AMD. Is going all the way to the future...
During Computex 2018, IT168 was invited to interview AMD senior vice president, Jim Anderson, general manager of Computing and Graphics Division, details of new products released by AMD on Computex 2018, and AMD's future market layout in CPU and graphics. discuss...

AMD Threadripper Second Generation Processor: Compatible with X399 Motherboard, Easy Upgrade
As AMD's top desktop processor, the Ryzen ThreadRipper 2nd generation processor is available for up to 32 cores and 64 threads and is scheduled to be available in the third quarter of 2018. This product is expected to be used in workloads such as rendering, post-production and coding. Showing excellent performance, significantly improved performance compared to the previous generation.
Ryzen ThreadRipper second generation upgrade motherboard BIOS is fully compatible with X399 motherboard.
In this regard, Jim Anderson said, 'At present, we have not introduced new chipsets other than the X399 for the second generation of thread tearers. Major motherboard manufacturers are using the X399 chipset to produce motherboards. Currently, there are 12 motherboards that can be applied. We plan to expand to 20 models. The new motherboard will have many features, including better performance in the OS and so on.
As a result, users equipped with Ryzen ThreadRipper generation processors can easily upgrade to second-generation processors without having to “go big”, which is very convenient. At the same time, a richer variety of motherboards will meet the needs of different game players.
AMD Ryzen 2700X: Conquering Market Confidence
During Computex 2018, Intel officially released the i7-8086K processor, in recognition of Intel's 50th anniversary, and Intel's 40th anniversary of the 16bit 8086 processor.
As for whether AMD will plan to match an ordinary Ruilong desktop product, Jim Anderson said that AMD’s new products will be announced to the public in advance. We just launched the Ryzen 7 2700X a few months ago and the market is responding very well , Whether it is performance or industry commentary has received quite positive feedback, Ryzen 7 2700X has captured many market share of top-level processors of our business, and we are quite confident in our flagship desktop processor.
From the beginning of last year, AMD Ryzen series of processor performance is very eye-catching, almost equal to Intel ahead of schedule put the eighth-generation Core processor ahead of schedule.
Ryzen 7 2700X performance has exceeded the previous generation Ryzen 7 1800X performance, performance increased by nearly 10%, and Ryzen 5 2600X than Ryzen 5 1600X performance is about 11% higher.
In the previous test, compared to Intel i7-8700K processor, Ryzen 7 2700X is more powerful in multi-thread performance, and single-threaded is slightly inferior. The overall performance is similar to that of i7-8700K, but it has a higher price/performance ratio..
Therefore, as a melon-family who maintains a neutral attitude, I am still very optimistic about AMD in 2018.
AMD took the lead in the market and continued to lead the PC chip market
According to market survey data, during the five years of 2012-2017, The performance increase of the processor is only about 10%, but after the emergence of Ryzen products in 2017, the average performance of the processor market increased by approximately 78%. AMD is continuously expanding its market share..
Since AMD and ZEN architecture, in addition to ordinary desktop processors, AMD has greatly improved the market efficiency of almost all price segments and applications. It can be said that after the listing of Ryzen, the entire ecological market is very different, and now it is not AMD followers. The era of business steps, but friends follow us.
In response, Jim Anderso emphasized, 'We launched Ryzen (Ryeon) more than a year ago, and since then we have brought great challenges to our business partners. From the product to the customer's choice, we have challenged our business partners. Market share, combined with our existing roadmap, AMD's products are very competitive. In the future, we will launch new products regularly and continue to snatch bigger market share.
Written at the end:
Today's AMD is gaining momentum. Under the overall update of its second-generation products, AMD is gradually expanding its market share. Along with the accelerated landing of AMD's 7nm process chips, AMD will have more powerful performance, bringing more benefits to consumers. Cost-effective, higher quality CPU and graphics chips.
