AMD stock may get a lift from strong gaming demand during the pandemic, thanks to rising PC CPU and graphics cards sales.

With the launch of its slightly faster, slightly better, exactly-the-same-price Ryzen 3000 XT processors this week, AMD became just a bit more like Intel…and Nvidia. More importantly, I suspect these new CPUs may exist to set the stage for removing a key AMD value proposition from next-gen “Zen 3” Ryzen CPUs. Whither goest thou, Wraith? Most Ryzen XT reviews landed, well, not with a thud necessarily, but at least a loud “meh”—though Gamers Nexus did say, “we think the sand could have been better put to use elsewhere,” when promoting its Ryzen 7 3800XT review . But the general sentiment is that they’re fine . Ryzen XT processors offer mild 100MHz to 200MHz clock speed increases over their non-XT namesakes, and a higher overall level of silicon quality, meaning they can hold those faster clocks for longer and overclock better. Cool stuff! Yet not cool enough generally to recommend, given their steep $80ish price premium over the standard X-series chips, which remain on the market.

We hear a lot about how AMD is now a big challenger to Intel, but it still lags far behind Chipzilla when it comes to company valuation. Lisa Su’s firm has a market cap of $62.5 billion, almost a quarter…

Raheem Mostert wants a new contract. Again. Amd he deserves one. Again, only this time after emerging as much more than a special-teams ace. Mostert broke out last season as the 49ers’ leading and most explosive rusher, after agreeing to a three-year, $9 million contract in March. Mostert’s agent, Brett Tessler, announced a stalemate in […]
