Now there is this new relating to its what is called "Microarchitectural Data Sampling" has another blow to Intel line of CPU-s dating back to 2008. Hyperthreading is recommended to be disabled according to what Intel's own published paper and also pressure from outside. since hyperthreading effectively doubles the number of cores available, it has significant impact on system's performance. I haven't heard so far big vulnerability flash news from AMD. is it going to be another good day for AMD stock holders?
Nothing really. Just that sometimes it grows, sometimes it shrinks and you may be able to make some money betting on it shrinking.
they still nowhere near NVIDIA on terms of power efficiency. Nvidia's flagship 1080 uses mere 180W and many of comparable AMD's graphics use 300W as max. On CPU side, and processwise (nm), they had beaten both nvidia and amd. Rome based on 7nm is almost there.
