Intel ready to pee into their cereal. Rumored to release an i5 with hyperthreading.

Yea 1 Sku vs a whole new lineup for cpu's with varying core/thread counts and at a much lower price point.
And a sku that is from right now a cpu line that kind of sucks gain wise compared to Skylake.
It better be cheap for it to be able to actual make it rain a golden shower on AMD.

thats my line.
This is Canard's scoop from today? If so, the sampling now means that they're still far from a tape-out... and a rushed tape-out combined with the TIM issues on Kaby may mean this may not be as a good of a counter as people may think.
Also, AMD may be aligning their supposed 6C offering to battle the quad-core HT i5, but that's purely speculation.
Lastly, the last line of the article is quite interesting, since GloFo currently licenses their 14nmLPP process from Samsung in the first place. The new wafer agreement allows them to go to other foundries, so it'll be interesting to see if AMD taps more foundries in the future.
There are a lot of places to learn about investing
The only thing you have to watch out for is that most analysts are wrong more times than they are right, so always take a person's word with a grain of salt.You are actually very wrong about your "fact". Let me inform you.
Stocks are decimated out to at least the fourth decimal place depending on the type of deal, and there are indeed stocks that trade at fractions of pennies per share, although these aren't listed on big exchanges like the NYSE as some, not all, exchanges require at least a dollar in valuation per share over an extended time period. In order to avoid this rule stocks that drop below a dollar commonly go through a process called a reverse split in which multiple shares are combined into one to increase the price per share to meet exchange requirements.
There are stocks or ETFs that loose 80+% of their value yearly and have long since been under $2 doing so for years on end. Most stocks don't just drop to zero. And there are cases of companies that essentially did so and were never close to going bankrupt.
Awesome!
Can't wait to see their high end offering this year. I don't typically upgrade my GPU for many years, but I may make an exception this year.
I hope Zen is all its hyped up to be as well. I'm probably gonna stick with my Skylake i7 for a while, but I want AMD to offer something that's competitive.
Also, not surprised that Dr Rus is here shitting on the parade and spouting his alternative facts :/

It's a shame, mid 2015 I was seriously looking into buying some stock because of the rumors about the new GCN architecture and their new CPUs being built from the ground up, so I myself had a lot of confidence. Now look at it, it's worth 8x from back then.
Really sad about it now. Good for AMD, but what a wasted opportunity for me lol.

I'm pretty sure this would do better in OT. There's also several different threads about investing there.

It's definitely big enough news to warrant its own thread.

It's not? This is old news.
Both AMD and NVDA have been rocketing skywards through 2016. People have had many ample opportunities to buy both. At this point they are both trading pretty high and well ahead of earnings, so buying now is a serious gamble. NVDA might reach orbit on Thursday, or they might not. Even if they beat estimates, they are likely to drop as people take profits. Only another blockbuster report like the last one will keep them rising.
Your odds of winning bets on Wall Street are better than at the casinos though. They at least don't purposely stack the odds against you on Wall Street.
Isn't an i5 with Hyperthreading an i7? LOL
Intel might bring 6c/12t to Z270 though just to fuck with AMD. It's not as if they are hard-up for die size or anything, just drop the iGPU and put 2 more Kaby Lake cores in there and voila.
The current HEDT (X99) has been aging for awhile now, 3 years old and counting at this point. Anyone who wants an X99 already has one so they might as well put an end to the arbitrary 4c/8t limit on their mainstream platform.
The 6c Coffee Lake will probably need a new socket lol.

Those +700% can easily become -50% or worse if you pick wrongly.
reddit.com/r/personalfinance + reddit.com/r/investing/ - would recommend doing some dry runs over several months using one of the simulation websites out there. You may just be better off investing in a market tracker. Many people are.

Bought 1000 shares at 1,80 last january. Sold them at 2,40 a few weeks later.
Still regret selling so early

It's more a factor of how close they were to biting the dust than anything. Fortunately, I got 400 of that 580%(I invested barely anything, but still made a pile of cash).
I kick myself for selling half of what I had at 3.80. Well, regardless I got a decent amount from what I left in. I rarely completely sell out of a stock so I don't have regrets later.

GPUs are great for machine learning, AI and autopilot cars. AKA the next trends.

Basically but it wouldn't surprise me seeing as they've a Pentium with HT now, which basically makes it an i3 at half the price.
AMD's quarterly report last week boosted investor confidence. Their last year-on-year growth was around 200%, I heard (I didn't confirm, but I know they had notable growth). With new - and promising - products launching very soon, investors are expecting similar or better yearly grow.
Good thing I had already secured stock before the 'boom,' eh!
Nintendo is next...

I have a feeling this stock is going to do crazy shit over the next month. I bought a bit because I do think there is potential for zen to breathe new life into the company based on the specs and pricing projections I've seen.
If you're going to invest in the stock market, invest long-term. Don't try to predict the ebb and flow or you'll go crazy.
Many people experience FOMO and buy when the price is high and then panic and sell when the price is low. Don't do that.
Seems to be a common trend here my friend. And you'd think we'd be smarter than Michael Pachter right?
I had $1500 on AMD at $2, sold at $3.50 a month later
I had $2000 on Nvidia at $30, sold at $45 a few weeks later
The returns were too good, and I haven't had it as good since.
580% is insane, and people are riding on the hype train now and its going to surely come back to a reasonable price while everyone takes profits. My advice would be that the good prices have well and truly left, so I think it'd be ok to hold it for a small short term gain but long term wise, you're really gambling on whether AMD's products are the real deal, and they are still getting beaten by Intel and Nvidia handily.
There is but haven't seen it for a while. It's called Stock-GAF if you want to search for it.
Yup

AMD's stock shot up at about 6% today, and it's continuing to climb in the after hours. Anybody have any idea why?

Woah.
That's a good catch for AMD. I think I'll hold onto this stock for a bit longer..
