History of AMD CPUs As Fast As Possible

Long ago, AMD was a second-source supplier for Intel, but soon started developing CPUs in-house and came up with some major innovations of its own...

Hello from 2019. AMD is doing great with *Zen...

(*All Ryzen variants)

"Let's hope the Zen architecture saves them."
*nice*

AMD reverse engineered INTEL from a
I couldn't study math even from the textbook

[WillFuI]

Imagine telling Linus in 2020 there will be a “consumer cpu” with 64 core and it would be amd not intel

[darwinzapanta]

2020:
AMD for gaming/streaming and working
INTEL for cooking

[anant]

So, AMD :
Made the fist 1GHz processor
Made the 64-bit architecture
Made multiple cores a thing
So, really, regardless of which side you're on, we owe AMD.

Linus in 2015: *wants better single thread performance instead of more cores*
AMD in 2019: Hey, want 32 cores?

Watching this in May 2020 when AMD is DOMINATING Intel lol

[Ispeakfactz]

Manh I'm here from the future, ryzen 3rd gen is released and intel is on its knees.

[lovekush]

AMD = I am King
CYRIX = I am dead
INTEL = I dont Die
ARM = I am coming
IBM = I jumped to Servers
APPLE = I make Trash Cans and cheese grater

I know this is the history of AMD, however I feel like you missed a massive segment of the AMD timeline by skipping the incredibly shady smear campaign paired with bribery that Intel did shortly after the K8 processors came out. Intel payed manufacturers to use their processors as much as possible while publicly bashing the superior K8 processors to the point that most people assumed that Intel must have been superior, I'm sure that had a pretty big impact on AMD as a whole and may have helped contribute to that albatross of owning too many fabs bringing AMD down.

Who else is watching this after the release of Ryzen Threadripper?

[kurosumomo]

Forgot to mention the dirty Intel games which contributed massively to the decline in AMD market share.

[nicholasjoseph]

2015 Vs making a killing let's hope AMD keep it up

[baronajosesek]

ohhh so thats why when I download a Linux distro Its says amd64

[sedij]

2019: Ryzen 9 3950x is released.




... Yeah AMD is doing great, it could take Intel a while to catch up.

[adrianmonk]

Now we only need a tech quickie on what fabs are.

[jayfire]

2015 Linus: "Let"s hope the 'Zen' Architecture saves AMD."
2020 Linus: "Dr. Su! Stop kicking them! They (intel) are already dead!"

This aged well.

[alexanderthegreat]

Little did Linus know that Ryzen stormed the market and even came out with a threadripper running up to 16 cores.

I would LOVE to see this updated.
It's been almost five years.
