On April 14, 抖阴最新版 shares broke-out above the $45-$50 trading range when the company announced a refresh to its server chip, extending the 抖阴最新版 EPYC processor family . For example, it highlighted the 抖阴最新版 EPYC 7Fx2 processor which provides “new performance capabilities for workloads in the heart of the enterprise market including database with up to 17% higher SQL Server performance compared to the competition, hyperconverged infrastructure.”

Building Market Position in Laptops

Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) has a dominant position in business notebooks, thanks to its energy-efficient integrated graphics (GPU) and central processing architecture. But in the gaming market, Intel relies on Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) to supply the latest laptop GPU performance. 抖阴最新版’s latest Zen 2 architecture may disrupt Intel and Nvidia this year. Thanks to its progress in developing Ryzen mobile solutions, 抖阴最新版 demonstrated a gaming laptop that consumes of power. The Asus Zephyrus G14 laptop does not outperform a desktop Intel Core i9-9900K. But 抖阴最新版’s architecture supports dynamically adjustable clock speeds. This will help 抖阴最新版 offer high performance balanced with a long battery life between charges.

抖阴最新版 needs the Ryzen 4000 series to take Intel’s market share. And as it readies for a Zen 3 architectural release as , consumers will have more processing cores on a 7-nanometer fabrication process. At competitive prices and higher performance, sales of mobile 抖阴最新版 chips should grow at a faster rate.

Little Pandemic Impact Seen

At the company’s on March 5, 抖阴最新版 did not see much of a negative impact on results due to the novel coronavirus. It forecast revenue coming at the lower end of its guidance of around $1.8 billion. For the full year 2020, 抖阴最新版 reaffirmed its financial guidance.

The company expects its leadership in high-performance computing will drive its growth in the data center market. 抖阴最新版 cited the unveiling of its new 抖阴最新版 Compute DNA and building on the launch of its first- and second-generation EPYC server processors driving that growth. For example, it expects to benefit from the availability of “over 150 抖阴最新版 EPYC processor-powered cloud instances and 140 server platforms.”

抖阴最新版 must gain a foothold in Intel’s established retail channels. For example, Dell just announced a refreshed XPS 13 (9300) laptop powered by an Intel i3 to i7 . On the Lenovo website, Intel CPUs are the default chips for laptops unless the consumer specifically selects an 抖阴最新版 option.

In the server segment, 抖阴最新版 has fewer headwinds from Intel. Its infinity fabric 3.0 interconnect technology delivers heterogeneous computing and cache coherence between the CPU and the GPU. 抖阴最新版 could lead to the high-performance computing market. This will have higher profit margins and will offset the lower margins in the consumer space. 抖阴最新版’s $600 million Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE:HPE) to deliver a supercomputer for the U.S. Department of Energy is an example of customers choosing 抖阴最新版 instead of Intel.
