No, it's not. "Consistent" modifies "improving" in that sentence, so it should be an adverb.

Then "with the timeline we shared" doesn't mean anything at all. What it actually needs is a comma to split it into two phrases: [Yields are improving], [consistent with the timeline we shared during our last earnings report].

It doesn’t mean it’s increasing consistently (in the same manner repeatedly). It means it’s increasing in a way that matches the plan. “Consistent with the timeline” is an adverbial phrase, and the correct and common usage. “Consistently with” would be awkward and unusual for that meaning.

I think you'll find it should be "consistentally" since it follows the silent oxford comma, and thus requires the subjunctive gerund articulation.

Intel was bound to gently caress up at some point. 14nm++++ is a very mature foundry 10nm class process and they are milking it for all she's got.

7nm foundry will probably be competitive with it or better, though maybe not until the 7nm with euv.

Yes, and we don’t know but possibly later so they can get it to more profitable markets first.

AMD committed to supporting AM4 until 2020.

At CES this year, AMD confirmed that Zen 2's design was complete, but did not offer a release date. They are sampling now. Could be 2019, could be 2020, we don't know.

The next socket AMD comes out with will have DDR5 and PCIe 4.0. Is this next socket AM5? Or is it TR5/SP3? We also don't know.

Keep in mind this means selling some AM4 products until 2020. If, say, the halo products moved to a new socket while 4/6 core chips continued to use AM4, that technically counts as “support”.

btw AMD posted their financials and actually turned a profit again! A fairly slim one, but for AMD, that's a victory. Up 12% year over year, but down 14% quarter over quarter from crypto and their graphics in general tanking. They also announced they are going to be under expectations next quarter, too. Accordingly, the stock is getting absolutely blasted, down 16% at the moment.

They did say that their 7nm Vega for deeplearning/datacenter part will hit before calendar years end.

Investors wanted larger profits. They heard all the hype about Zen crushing Intel and wanted Intel level profits. They don't understand how the chip market works.

Yeah, they were (and still are) comically overvalued. They are valued like they are a company 10+ times bigger than what they are. It wouldnt surprise me if they keep sliding.

They are doing better for sure, but the graphics division is dead at the moment and both the volume (laptops) and margin (server) markets aren't going to just flip to AMD overnight. They will need to stay competitive with Intel for an extended period to make inroads there.

It's going to take years for AMD to reach the market value at the best case. Remember, AMD was under $3 a few years ago, and under $10 this year. It was valued at over $30, that much growth requires massive innovation, which AMD hit with Zen. The problem is, that innovation was just catching up to the only other player in the market that was a decade ahead of them and they didn't really pass Intel.

Their real value is probably closer to $15 than the current $20 even accounting for expected growth.

Really what you are seeing is competing stock ideologies that AMD looked good in and some it no longer does. One is going to be earnings per share and AMD's value went way up since they bought, after the posting they saw that AMD was no longer a good earnings:share so they are selling off to buy something else. With the reduced price right now there could be panic sellers, or some other formula might now see AMD as a good buy at the $4 discount and the price goes up.

I read a few AMD news stories a few months ago on my phone, and ever since then google pushed a whole lot of bullish "buy AMD stock" articles at me. I don't look at any other financial / stock market stuff on my phone. I think AMD stock was clearly in some kind of trending loop that kept it hyped up.

Crypto fell essentially to zero, they missed their Epyc sales targets, and they had a lot of one-time semicustom revenue last quarter from changing how they did their accounts-receivable that is missing from the balance sheet this time around. Essentially, all the stuff I said 3 months ago.

Also, forecasts don't really translate into stock movement, it's the difference between the forecasts and market expectations. If you forecast 1.45 billion next quarter but traders expected you to forecast 1.6 billion (real numbers), that 1.6 billion is already priced in and your stock drops. Buy the rumor, sell the news. I know that's basic but that's probably the biggest thing here... AMD was expected to be a breakout and they only met their forecast. Wall Street's a bitch.

Tech stocks are also down in general.

Zen is a good product but that's really almost all AMD has going for it. I'd think a lot of the stock value is coming from future expectations, and if they don't execute that upward trajectory well their stock will suffer. I don't have a crystal ball that lets me see the future, but the runup since early last year was insane, $AMD increased 20-fold in practically a year, a correction was inevitable (easy to say in hindsight of course).

The minutia of stock prices don't really matter for the long-term trajectories here, Zen's marketshare and AMD's price are both going upwards in the long term.

Ryzen 2700x is popular precisely because it is incredible value for money, the reality is that in gaming even an i5 8400 beats it.
I am going to assume you just want to play PC games - if you can get the 9600k for the same price you should buy that instead

If you're gaming you should really be looking at the 2600, but yeah, what the guy above said, with the caveat that the difference really only shows itself if you're going over 100 fps.

Well that if you game at 1080p or less.

If you game at 1440p+ generally the difference between AMD and Intel is negligible and the video card becomes the real bottleneck for almost any game made in the last 3-5yr.

Paul MaudDib posted:

Actually they said they're getting double digit percentage growth in Epyc sales over Q2 2018 for Q3 2018.

They blamed the reduction in revenue on a lack of GPU sales partially due to crypto falling apart and partially because they don't have good parts to compete with NV. You were quite DOOM N' GLOOM about the effect that would have and that doesn't really seem to have occurred at all revenue-wise.

Stocks are another matter but stock prices have little to do with reality much of the time.

Which isn't the same Epyc sales doing poorly. By all accounts they're selling everything they make. That is a lot of stuff that is being grouped and counted with server CPU's there. So Epyc CPU sales can go up but the group as a whole can still go down if other stuff doesn't do as well.

A company worth $8-$12 depending on how long you plan on betting on them was somehow valued at almost $30. Even accounting for how inflated most stocks are, anything over $14-$18 is just baffling.

If you had insider news that they will have a competitive GPU in the next 2 years then I guess mid-high teens might be reasonable, but even then they will have trouble competing with nvidia because for compute CUDA is steam rolling OpenCL in ecosystem, adoption, and pleasantness to work with.

I'm not an expert at anything. No one should take stock advice from me, but the good news is I didn't advise anything actionable. AMD stock showed all the signs of a bubble: tech-ignorant analysts downgrading intel and saying buy buy buy amd like they're in some market with endless growth potential, random dudes saying 'i sold at $8 and now am buying again at 3x as much' , and others saying 'I always liked AMD and now that they have a good product I'm buying stock'. I sold my shares. It continued to climb well past what I sold it for and now it's a bit lower than what I sold it for. That's all there is to it, honestly.

AMD is capable of growth and shouldn't blow up anytime soon. They should consistently gain market share and have great quarters unless they really botch the zen2 launch. I really see AMD growing and doing well as a company for years to come. I also see Intel as perhaps blundering even more than I thought at the time. The problem is the highly speculative share price now vs the company's actual value vs what I perceive their growth potential in the market to be doesn't check out at all. That's why I sold what I perceive to be a healthy and growing company.

I plan on buying AMD cpus whenever reasonable. They're more pro-consumer than intel. Still, I'll buy from the company that provides the best product for my needs. It's a machine that performs tasks.
